L BILL CAUBLE Page 3 Refining Chatter Congratulations to “Speedy” Jones for winning the fat man’s race at the Fourth of July picnic. He sure prov ed that his nickname is justified. But all joking aside. Refining “C” wishes to express their appreciation to the company and especially to the spon sors, because a good time was had by all who attended the picnic. Did anyone wonder what became of all the popcorn so suddenly at the pic nic? If they had seen Paul Hopper the following Monday, the mystery would have been cleared, he was sell ing popcorn at half-price—2 bags for five cents. Well, well, miracles never cease. John Mullenax has a bride. The edi tors of this section have seen pic tures of the bride and we certainly wonder how so lovely a girl could be fooled by John. No offense, John, but it is puzzling. Well, we have a new addition on “C” Shift—Ralph Orr, a very nice sort of guy. OFFICE BITS The man of might—John Leathers says the cheapest drunk a man can get on in war time is to use Copen hagen snuff. (Signed) “Strawberry’ Machine Booklet Dept. From the Machine Booklet we have big news this month. Agnes Allison, our assistant floor lady, surprised us with the announcement of her mar riage to Ray Hilemon. We wish you both the best of luck, Agnes . . Now that we are all going into our tenth month of fighting a war, we are beginning to miss the fellows who are now in service . . . We’ve just heard that John Southers, who used to be one of us, has just been promoted to the rank of Corporal. John is in the U. S. Air Corp . . . Will someone please tell us what happened to Har ry on his vacation? Harry is a fel low possessing a good vocabulary and one who did not mind pouring out the words until recently when he left for a rest but now that he is back Harry has nothing to say—absolutely noth ing—and we are beginning to worry . . . When a girl feels like doing a bit of fussing about things in gen eral it sure is swell to have someone to fuss at but since Buck and Mon roe have been transferred we have no one to fuss at... Gertie, our floor lady, is fast becoming a first rate ping pong player . . . Alfred Cheek read that a famous Greek philosopher became a great speaker by talking with pebbles in his mouth. Alfred has no pebbles in his mouth but he believes that if he practices singing over the roar of the machines an other Caruso will soon burst forth in our midst. We admire your deter mination Alfred, but well-maybe you’d better get yourself a mouth full of rocks. OUR APPRECIATION Dear Mr. Straus, Most our us school boys who work on the Landscape Crew were told in May that we would probably get to work for two or three weeks. Now we have worked three months. We owe this opportunity to you, Mr. Straus, and we thank you.' We have enjoyed very much being a part of Ecusta this summer and we all look forward to returning here. Sincerely yours. The School Boys of the Landscape Crew. Dear Mr. McCann, You have often told us that you went to bat for us and you are re sponsible in more ways than one for the little things that have made work ing conditions at Ecusta ideal for us. We thank you, Mr. McCann. That goes for all the boys. Sincerely yours, The School Boys of your Crew. “Jody” Palais Lichtenfels is back at her desk looking refreshed after spending her vacation on Long Island with her husband ...

Ford Murray has gone to Baltimore on a defense job . . . Miles Shipman has left to get rested to join the Air Corps . . . We have Bob MacDonald in the Ecusta Accounting Department and John Gribbin in the Stationery and Supply Room to welcome to our ranks this month . . . “Buck” Best has been passing candy and cigars around—what a smile—If that Boy had been a Girl, he’d probably be lauhing out loud . . . Bob Maney for got that he’s too old to play “Tar- zan” and the results were that he was out of the office several days nursing an injured hip—Better be careful. Bob, checkers is a much safer game! . . . Bollin Milner—pardon us —Sergeant Milner was a “sight for sore eyes” when he visited us a few weeks ago. We’re certainly proud of his progress and wish him plenty of luck in his Officers’ Training Course . . . Wilson Lane is back at work and seemingly likes it better than the hos pital. What, no women in white??? . . . Just a few more days of grace for Dot Everett—or—Joe Hunter. Yep, marriage is like the flu—it mows strong healthy people down every day . . . Where, oh where, has our little Blanche Patterson gone?—and no post cards either . . . “Tootsie” Johnson also did the disappearing act last week—warm weather they have in Knoxville, Tennessee, eh “Tootsie”??? . . . Pryor Millner just got back from his vacation and brother William took off—We aren’t surprised that trans portation is crowded when we notice all the Ecusta vacations these days. Yours ’til Labor Day, ‘Sniff ’n’ Snoop” HANDBOOK GOSSIP FLASH—We’re glad to welcome Lois R. back from her visit to New York. If you have something to model maybe she can help you out— Wonder what Jessie McGee has cor nered at Biltmore Dairy. It’s certain ly not a cow... We’d like to know how a certain girl gets Mr. Fleming to buy her lunch... Several of our girls have gotten a leave of absence to visit their husbands. We hope they have a nice vacation and will be back with us soon. We want to welcome Florence and Anne back. To have them back with us reminds us of good old shift work. Especially that good third shift we use to work. The blockers had lots of fun going barefooted. Our old gang is getting quite thin. So many of the girls have a husband in the service and now the call has come for Dorothy Case and Pearl Page to go join their husbands . . . Va. Mason is all thrilled over a cer tain Private from Camp Croft. How did it all come about, Va.? . . . Ruby Rogers has just returned from Miss., where she spent a few days with her boy friend and husband to be . . . The blockers are enjoying their vacation on Monday. Not so hard to have to come to work on Tuesday . . . Julia W. is planning to leave for Fort Sill, Okla., soon. Nice trip Julia. Ruth Smith took a trip to Ohio for a few days. What’s wrong Ruth, shouldn’t you have gone to Wake For est? . . . What do you think of L. C. Wilson denying he had a girl friend. You’re going to be sorry L. C., cause we know better . . . Lois A. Rickman just returned from a month’s vacation in New York and tells us about a very exciting time and never a dull moment. . . We wish to express our regrets that Shirley Whitmire will be leaving us to join her husband in Baltimore, Md., and also to welcome Ethel Gray as our new Ass’t. floorlady . .. Wylma Blythe has been spending FEMS AND FINESSE “Design for Glamour” is a book by Terry Hunt, Hollywood’s famous conditioner of stage, screen and radio celebrities. Below are a few tips from him. If you are interested and would like to read more, you will find the book in the Ecusta Library. 1. If you skin is rough and dry it needs oil. Cultivate those foods which are rich in oil. 2. If your skin is oily, eliminate the fatty foods, for excessive oil is a sure way to provoke acne. 3. Hair on your arms is ugly. The five-and-ten-cent stores sell a bleach ing kit that will make these almost invisible-use it. 4.1f you shave your arms or legs, sprinkle baby powder on first. This prevents friction chapping. 5.Before applying mascara, dip the eyelash brush in boric acid solution and then brush your lashes and brows. It will lend them a lustre. 6. For reducing weight, see that about fifty percent of your food con sists of raw fruits and vegetables. 7. If you’re heavy, stick largely to liquid breakfasts, for food has been found to be more fattening before noon. 8. Sleep “knits the raveled sleeve of care.” If you’re tired, despondent, nervous, tpr getting an extra hour’s sleep at night. It will do wonders for you. 9. Avoid strong liquor in any form, whether cocktails, highballs or straight. It is bad for your system and bad for your beauty. 10. Wear a smile on your face—it’s natural. Be animated and interested in life and living. 11. Learn to be generous, open- minded, kindly, decent in your atti tude toward others. These emotions will eventually be reflected in your face and will attract people to you.

Fred Stroup reported a fine chick en fry up in the Pink Beds although he forgot to take his frying pan along. We all miss Maurice T. Paxton (Sickeye) who left for the colors last week.
