Page 4 Pulp “C” Chips The men on C shift were happily surprised when they received the Christmas presents from the company. We take this opportunity to thank Mr. Straus for these presents,...

We hope that soon we will be able# to get ours in the Bleach Plant. . . . Jim Brown has. been made Assistant Helper on No. 2 vacuum washers since Bob Taylor joined the Army. . . . P. K. Jones has just about decided that deer season is over. It won’t be long before the fishing sea son opens. The Army is still taking a heavy toll of fellows from C shift. The latest to leave was A. Ensley, chlorinator, who joined the Marines and left for Par ris Island Feb. 2. This is his second time with Uncle Sam, having previ ously served three years with Coast Artillery in the Canal Zone. Avery leaves an exceptionaly good record and he also leaves with our best and sin- cerest wishes for the best of luck. His succesor is Harry Owens, a Cherry- field boy—and a good one too. . . . Cedar Mt.’s contribution to Ecusta: the Jones boys have all been transfer red to C shift. To conserve rubber, one of the crew plans to buy a moun tain wagon so all can ride together.

K. —Claude Jones One Out Of Four “Education in this country employs more than 1,000,000 people. It spends some $2,000,000,000 a year. Its capital, invested in buildings and equipment, totals more than $12,300,000,000. By any such measure, it tops all major public as well as private undertak ings! / “The highest proportion of our na tion’s population in history is in the schools today. More than 30,000,000 Americans—about one out of four- are full-time students in schools or colleges; more than 90% of them in PUBLIC institutions.” — From an article in Life Mag. We are glad to hear that our boys are doing so well in the Army. Fel lows, we certainly miss you but we know you are doing a wonderful thing to make it possible for the rest of us to stay here and carry on in your places. We wiU do our part too. We’ll keep buying ’em if you’ll keep flying ’em. We will keep on buying bonds To send bombers across the ponds, If it takes every dime from our Pappys We will lick those slant eyed Jappys. We wish Sledge or Williams would shave off their mustaches. They look so much alike you can’t teU them apart. . . . Scott Galloway is getting someone to scrath for him pretty soon. We think he is getting married, so No. 5 had better get another keeper for awhile until Scottie comes down to earth.... We were a little surprised the morning of Feb. 3rd when our General Superintendent called us all in for a fireside chat. We thought for sure we were going to catch it but it turned out to be pennies from Heaven. We all appreciated every word Mr. Bennett had to say to us. We want to thank our President, Mr. Straus, for making our nice raise pos sible. —Bill Cauble. News From The Machine Shop Those tough guys in the machine shop sure pull their ears in when that Thundering Herd of women come rushing thru the hall at 11:45 a.m. on their way to the cafeteria. Sid Beech er came out of the shop one day about that time and he saw all those women coming at him. Before he could get out of the way he found himself first in line up at the cafeteria. The Champagne Machine Shop wishes to present this Rose covered Floral Horseshoe inscribed with the words “Success” to the Ironing Dept, of Endless Belt. The occasion being their moving to a new location. We are not writing a book review column, (maybe the idea isn’t so bad tho,) but to give you readers of true thrillers a tip, “On The Bottom”, by Ellsberg is a honey. It concerns the salvage operations in raising a sub marine from the ocean floor. For fur ther particulars the book may be found at the Ecusta Library. . . . The guy that asks for a beer, almost daily at the coffee counter in the cafeteria, sure does get a kick out of watching people turn around and almost be lieve. But they look so disappointed when Hazel hands over a cup of cof fee. * Our Government February, 1942j Refining “D” Dots Several changes have taken among the personnel of our shift since the beginning of the new year.
