We don’t blame you, Henry. No one else cares much for this, either. B. R. FULLER Mr. Fuller came to Badin during the construction of the Narrows dam, and was transferred to the Potroom Control Department in May, 1918. Last winter, when the Efficiency Department was or ganized, Mr. Fuller was chosen to take charge of this department for the pot- rooms. Just recently he has become Editor in Chief of the Weekly Potroom Bullet, which bids fair to outshine the Club Bullet of ancient fame. B. H. STANDRIDGE B. H. Strandridge was born in Chero kee County, and at an early age de veloped a partiality for cranes, which has remained with him ever since. He started as craneman at Copper Hill while in his teens, and went to Maryville to run a crane when that plant started in March, 1914. In July, 1917, he came over here and took charge of all the cranes, in the Aluminum Plant. “Harry” looks after all the wants of the cranes, from new caps to new shoes, and runs a repair shop of his own especially to doc tor his charges. What he doesn’t know about this particular type of bird isn’t worth knowing. B. T. HORSFIELD Mr. Horsfield came to Badin to learn the carbon business, and expected to be making carbons in Mary^alle by this time. However, when w*ork on *the Maryville carbon plant was suspended some time ago it was arranged that Mr. Horsfield be permanently transferred to the Badin works, and he has since been connected with the Control Department in the Potrooms. Much of his time lately has been spent as a pot puncher in building 20. D. H. TILSON Tilson is one of the late arrivals, hav ing come to Badin in July, 1920. At first he spent considerable time in the Control Department, but lately he, like Mr. Horsfield, seems to favor pot punch ing in building 20. " A. G. LONG ■ ~ A. G. Long is a Rutherford County man who started in the aluminum busi ness at Maryville in August, 1915. He came here with the “Know How” crowd in May, 1916, and was helper on No. 1 section in 22. Uncle Sam called him in 1918, and he went overseas to view France. He liked it so well that we thought he had married a French girl and had forgotten us, but in July, 1919, he showed up, the last one to get back. “Adam’' is now head Shift Foreman On the three o’clock shift, and his smiling countenance has made that shift the most popular one of the three. started with the company during the construction period and when 22 started, he went in as a potman and is now shift foreman of the South side on the three o’clock shift. Mauldin is a farmer, and lives in Palestine. For a time he us«d to bring us butter and eggs, but lately has neglected us, and taken to riding around in a new car. T. T. JOHNSON T. T. Johnson is the sphinx of the potrooms. He is so quiet that it only by consulting the poll books that we learned he was iborn at Groves, N. twenty-eight years ago, and came her^ from Blacksburg, S. C. He started as a potman in 1916, and now walks the floor from 22-28 on the three o’clock shift. Like William S. Hart he has never been known to smile, but as likewise is not bad to get along and is always to be found when he most needed we forgive “Thad” for try' ing to emulate Colonel House. F. L. GREENLEE F. L. Greenlee was born at Old Fort; N. C., and at nineteen years of age to work at Maryville. Two years lat®^ he was sent here with the “origi’^‘'^ bunch” to be head potman in 22.' showed us how to make metal for tw° years, but left in 1918 to try his han at building docks at the shipyards Wilmington. A year later he glad to give up carpentry and get back among the pots. “Leland” works whil® you sleep, for he is head shift foreina^ at night; and he keeps things goin^ smoothly, too. G. C. BROWN G. C. Brown is one of MajryviH^® originals, coming here a year after started in Maryville. He was a helped 22 for a time, then left for the war 1917. He came back in May last and is now floor walker on the Side during the “wee small hours.” also has a so-called car which he h ^ trained to run without tire casings, an they say he has captured all speed re^ ords for Ford cars in Stanly County- B. D. MAULDIN B. D. Mauldin is not one of the “old originals.” He antedates them, having F. C. HAMBY F. C. Hamby is a “longhorn,” been born in Texas, although he raised in Maryville. He got lonely af the original crowd left there in and soon followed them. He started helper in 22. When war broke out,
