My First Day’s Work I went to Ecusta About a mile from Brevard, And told J. 0. Wells I would like to be hired. He said there were no openings. That I should go away And come back to see him On another day. One morning I awoke With a big bright smile And thought I would go back For it might be worth while. He said, “The job is yours But it’s not any fun, For there is lots of work That must be done.” I entered Hand Booklet That very day. With a nice young man To show me the way. A smiling lady all dressed in blue Came over and said, “Oh, You’re new!” “Sure,” I replied. “Then come this way And I’ll show you how to make a tray.” I glued and I beat And put in a box And suddenly wished I was strong as an ox. For my hands were all swollen. My back was so tired! I felt just as though I’d been strung to a wire Along came Teddy And said, “It’s ’most four.” You won’t have time To do any more, He looked and he looked. Then he said, “0. K.” So that was the end Of my first day. Hazel McKinney. REFINING “D” Continued From Page 4 family in the armed farces fighting to preserve that liberty which was pro claimed nearly 166 years ago. As we celebrate this American Holiday, our thoughts will doubtless be with our fighting forces and the desire to lend a helping hand to them should be up permost in our minds. Yours for a safe and sane Fourth. King APPRECIATION I should like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to the people at Ecusta who were so sympathetic anc kind during the illness and death of my mother, Mrs. L. E. O’Kelly. Signed Van O’Kelly Physical Lab. Notes OFFICE BITS Welcome to the new testers in the Physical Lab. We’re just one big happy family . . . All the ex ol’ maid school marms are eagerly awaiting the Graveyard shift. They can stay out all night without being criticised. Right, I. Tinsley and B. Nanney? . . . Why is it that Roy Head prefers eating in the cafeteria regularly? Couldn’t be ’cause of a pretty waitress! . . . Why does R. Cliff persistently keep saying, “Disgusting, isn’t it?” A cer tain (Fran S.) is the reason, I be lieve. Come on, Fran, give the boy a break and a date . , . Bob Matthews is looking forward to the picnic on the Fourth. Is it because of a rest from his heavy worries and duties or the part he’s gonna have in the re freshment and beverage line? . . . Leah R. spent a nice vacation in Flor ida. She reports a wonderful time. Wish I had a vacation coming up soon! . If anyone can get hold of a cer tain letter addressed in green ink to Mr. R. Cliff, please hold! It’s from the male sex too, or is it? Why so secretive about it, Rupert? . . . Joe Norman seems to be “Book (ed) out” for the duration. Yes, Nell? Is it love or just friendship? . . . Why did M. Tally want to skip her last night on graveyard? Was it because of a bus and the driver? . . . Sorry to see C. Hooper go! Uncle Sam needs you, too. Best of luck and don’t forget your hunting license . . . Roy Head seems to catch more fish when he is accom panied by Doris Meyers. Brother Ro bert, why didn’t you catch more fish? Wasn’t your girl’s lipstick the right shade? . . . Ernest Burch prefers a waltz on graveyard but doesn’t attempt one. He just sits and uses his imag ination . . . Robert Head and Doyle Wells have such a worried look! Is the paper all that bad, Robert? And Doyle, why are you upset? Does the felt need changing? . . . Ranny Lankford sho’ did complain about the last hard rain and flood. He must have planted a Victory garden. Hope your onions didn’t wash away, too . . . L. B. Owens has such a nice voice. We see now why he is to be an an nouncer at the picnic. He reads a part of “The Girl Of The Limber- lost” to the Phys. Lab. crew at 4:30 in the morning. Certainly keeps one from dozing off. Maybe he’ll get on \the air . . . Endless chatter but there must be a stopping place somewhere so why not here? So long .... The Job Printers wish for Paul Pipkin a happy birthday June 23, with many more to follow. To make a friend, let him think he is a little better in some way than you. To make an enemy, you have on ly to excel him. The Junebugs are buzzing again and have we got our ears full ... We hear from Lil Clarke and Dot Everett that rats, toads, and beetles have been get- ing around, too . . . When it comes to “getting around” Hal Gibson seems to be doing very well as “Chief Tender foot” Girl Scout. If any of you girls have trouble with your needlepoint or knitting, Hal is the very one to straigh ten out your difficulties because he’s been highly recommended by his troop . . . Walter Straus’ stag party was a great success with the exception of the promised entertainment. His Fan Dancer failed to show up. (Could it be because she lost her fans?) . . . Jimmy Dixon got a special hair cut for his vacation at the beach so his long flowing locks would not inter fere with his vision . . . Have you no ticed Justine William’s nice tan that she didn’t get at Norfolk? ... It is so much fun to get cards the vaca tionists send back to us. Cards from Audrey McKagan from New York came in last week. We haven’t had a full report from her, but we have reasons to believe that she really did the town . . . If the cards we’ve seen from Fred Williams are evidence of his trip, we expect to see him re turning from his trek through Ten- thousand Lakes Country of Minnesota riding a horse, wearing feathers in his hair and carrying a bow and arrow ... Some of the Ashevillians got a little sample of life in Brevard last week and according to Blanche Patterson and Margaret Jones it’s “grade A.”— Who could doubt it when they visited Justine, and Charles Matthews en- , tertained them one evening with bridge—(if we know Charlie’s bridge) . . . We expect to see Mildred Carpen ter walking around Brevard with two or three body guards if the Brevard police should decide to play “open house” and let a certain “bird” fly through the latticed windows ... We have a familiar face about the office again since Charles Allen is playing understudy to Lehman Kapp (he, seems to find it a bit difficult to man age to imitatte the hair arrangement) . . . Ted Gentry has a new business and we wish to encourage him by giv ing him a bit of free publicity—For the most natural looking seams on bare legs be sure to see Ted, first . . . It was a great treat to see some of our “office soldiers” around again— Bollin Millner breezed in with a new hair cut and that brought forth, “He looks like a “Rooshian” from one of our office wits. After taking a look at him we could well understand why he has been chosen as a member of a demonstration group . . . “Spud” Car penter looked like a bronze cave man with that Florida tan he has acquired, (All the girls were envious and some even threatened to join the army!)— We’re looking forward to another visit from them . . . Bob Bolt evidently wasn’t getting enough “fight” in the army because he got married and took his wife back with him. It was swell to see him around again even with out the flowers he used to bring us ... We welcome to our group a new mem ber—Mr. Best who is Mr. Word’s as sistant . . . We’re beginning to be sus picious of William Hannan’s frequent visits to New York—Can it be a mat ter of heart trouble? . . . Louise Byers looks like a ray of sunshine since she heard from her aviator husband . . . Folks always judge a vacation by the degree of “sun-done” acquired and from the shade of Lita Steppe’s tan we’d say she had a swell time ... If thre is anything worse than suspense, Howard Schmidt wants to know what it is . . . After spending last sum mer here, Chas. Cook has finally been convinced of the “beauties” of Bre vard and has returned to stay (we hope) . . . Eleanor Colwell suggests Continued on Page 7 Mr. Bennedict L. Bakowski of the New York office was married on June 6th to Miss Genevieve Bernice of Yon kers.
