■INTERNATIONAL STINK"
(Almost,that is)
Queen Elizabeth paid a visit to
The "old dominion "
A historical event
In my opinion.
A peculiar incident took place
Which I think
Very nearly caused
An International Stink.
Elaborate planning had taken place
Preparation had been made.
Including trimming the grass
Oowri to the last blade.
On the eve before her arrival
When things were all set,
A funny thing happened
The weirdest yet.
Out of the night
Came a feeder-line trip,
A Piedmont flight.
Captain Brown flying the ship.
He greased her on
His rolI had begun.
When out of the grass
A damned SKUNK did run.
Brownie put on his brakes
But alas too late I
He clobbered the Skunk
Al I over the pi ace.
The airport did stink
Phew! How it did smell.
Gene Marlin blew a fuse
and cussed Piedmont like ....
Well, the Army was there
With spray galore.
They poured on the stuff
And called for more.
They scrubbed and they mopped
And powdered the strip
With sweet smelling stuff
For the Royal ship .
The Queen did arrive
With tremendous Pomp,
Amid Chanel Number Five
Which the Army had pumped.
The ceremony was beautiful
Not another hitch took place.
Captain Brown took his trip out
With a very red face.
Now the moral of this story
Is plane, I think -
And its one that damn near caused
An International STINK I

INT EMPLOYEES
HAVE SKATING PARTY
> ■ ■■:
Frances and Lewis Hand
It was easy to see who attended the Skat-
ing Party on the day after, and the express
ion, "my aching back "was the by-word of
the day for some oldtimers who wanted to for
get their age, at least for the evening.
Approximately 80 employees and their
families or dates, came to the party,
arrangements for which were made under
thedirection of L. J. Lambert, INT Chief
of Stores, Mrs. Jackie Abee, Secretary to
the Director of Purchasing, and Mrs. Wilma
Cook, Traffic Department lecretary.
Essie Cox, INT - Communicationist, was
learning how to skate and managed to be
off of her skates more than on. Everyone
had awonderful time andwholesome exer
cise and relaxation provided by this sport
should be enjoyed by everyone. We hope
that L. J., Jackie and Wilma will plan
another rol ler-skating party before too long.
An expression of your interest to them will
encourage them to try for a repeat perfor
mance since a private skating party requires
a certain minimum attendance.
NOTICE
To Employees
In response to numerous inquiries,
we regret to report that there
will be no Company - sponsored
Christmas Party this year.
