Sally has just had spring fever and hasn’t felt like gossiping ... We have ever so many new faces, among them are Christine Ducker, Aurelia Jankins, Hazel Keener, Helene Norris, Win- nifred Mullinax and the Hamilton twins, Susan and Serepta. Lola Shook and Grace Allison are in Los Angeles visiting their soldier husbands. Grace had an unusual experience going out to California; she and Sara Hester Jackson took a plane from Atlan ta on Saturday and expected to arrive in Los Angeles on Sunday night, but when they reached Dal las Mr. Priority took Grace’s seat on the plane and poor little Grace had to proceed by train alone . . . Caroyln Fisher Keener left last week to visit her hubby in the state of Washington. Those girls who have recently had mumps and measles can now consider themselves grown u p since having their childhood dis eases. Incidentally, did you hear about the Scotchman who had “a measel?” . . . Scottie certainly did Endless proud with his sing ing last Friday night at the square dance in the cafeteria . . . Justine Wright has recently returned from her vacation in Florida and Nelle Cairnes spent her vacation in Georgia. We are so glad that Annie Mae McCall is much improved after several weeks illness and hope she will be back with us soon. Belle Carter and Edna Wright are also on the sick list . . . Farmer, farmer, how does your garden grow? From what we see there’s more grass than vegetables in a row. Minnie Jones wants to know how much the gentlemen who have the gardens in front of the plant will pay for hoe hands. Girl—“I don’t pet, drink, or smoke. I don’t care for dancing. I don’t like risque jokes or sup pressed books. Will I meet my sweetheart soon?” Fortune Teller—“What do you want with a sweetheart?” visited our department. He should come more often, Lucille, he’s a boost to our war effort. Well, so long folks for now. We’ll be slin^jng jsome 'more? ink next montl». “B” Shift’s Smoke Machine Room, Ecusta — Since our last report to the Echo, our men have been coming and going so fast that about all we had a chance to say was hello and good bye. Mr. Allen and Mr. Vaillancourt have shown fine spirit of co-op eration when men of either side were needed to keep the machines running. One never hesitated to place his help at the disposal of the other. Our latest army recuit was John Gibbs, Jr. This ought to be bad news for the Japs because John has promised each and every one of us a good-sized Jap. Good luck John. These days there are many things about which we all wonder. For example, we wonder why Al bert Payne always stares at the pond of his machine, there are no trouts there; we wonder why “Red” Woods always fumes and cusses; why Mann is so quiet; why Luther King is always late getting on the 'bus; why “Lorie” Faucher always keeps his feet dry; why Bob Pearce stopped smoking cigars; why Sherman Ducker is so fat; why Hack Hea ton drinks so many pepsi-colas. We may have some answers by next month. Should you hear anyone talking about baseball you’U know it is Gregory and Faucher; “Greg” owns the National league and “Larry” the American. And now for the most compli cated story of the month. A duel was fought i n Texas between Alexander Shott and John S. Nott. Nott was shot and Shott was not. In which case it were better to be Shott than Nott. There was a rumor that Nott was not shot, in dicating either that the shot at Nott was not shot or that Nott was not shot notwithstanding. But Shott knows that he shot Nott. At the trial they may try to prove that the shot Shott shot s^iot Nott, or, since accidents with firearms are frequent, that the shot Shott shot shot Shott himself. Then the original elements would be re versed: Shott would be shot and Nott would not. It is our belief that the shot Shott shot shot not Shott but Nott, Should both be shot? Now there’s a thought. WHY NOT? And the man 'who steals pie in the machine room should be shot but he is not. Yours tiU the sropkiB clears.--“SMOKy’^ ' PULP “B” BLAB Sprmg, in case you hadn’t no ticed, isn’t around the corner, it is here— Along with high resolutions for lots of work in our Victory gar dens! And speaking of gardens. Bill Bangs has everything in his that the seed catalogs show, and some they don’t. Luck to you. Bill. At latest report, Harry Crane was doing fine following an opera tion. We hope you get back soon, Harry, we all miss you. The fishing bug is biting all and sundry, notably Jim Brown and Fred Stroup. Both of those boys are pure “pizen” with rod and reel, and though their luck seems to be “catching” it is not conta gious. At least, some of us haven’t caught it yet. Some of the boys get sort of upset when the lunch wagon comes around, on account of a very cute blue bow and a cuter smile, but boys, the bow is strictly for ornament, and the smile is part of the service. Claude Jones has moved to his farm, and reports that his Faith ful Dobbin is about to eat him out of house and home. Buck up, Claude, those fertile acres will produce enough for you and him both. We are happy to have Garland Teague on our shift, and hope he likes to be with us as much as we enjoy having him. He is a bleach operator. Also more or less new to this shift is Kermit Chandler. Wel come, boys. We were very sorry to hear of Mrs. Wilber’s illness, ' and sincerely wish for her a speedy recovery. Does anybody have any idea why W. E. Hamilton keeps his shoes shined so mce lately? And he changes uniforms more often, too. Lowdown In Pulp Mill, Shift “D” Well, it looks as though the good old summer time is here be cause everyone either has a fish ing pole or a hoe in his hand.— Clyde Galloway can’t work in his garden over thirty minutes at a time because when he finds a worm he heads for the river.— Chuck Ramer spent his vacation on the Carolina coast and reports that all is 0. K. in that section. —“Tow-Head” Allison seems to enjoy carrying samples to the Laboratory. Wonder why?—Fred Bryson is worrying about getting his fifty acres of corn thinned when he goes on forty-eight hours. Don’t think he can drink that much corn anyhow.—Sam Pass- more has been foundered on can dy and is now catching samples free. — Bill Bryson is having a hard time getting enough gas to get across the mountain every week. Why not marry the gal, Bill, and save the gas?—Francis Ficker is trying to get the Chlori nating Department fixed so it will be like out doors.—^Wonder where Vaughn Cairnes will spend the week ends now?—Paul Sitton got a good price for his hay when he cleaned out his potato patch.— Ray Cathey says the telephone book system is the best he has found for getting dates.—“Bear” Tinsley is getting rigged up to clean out all frog ponds in the next few weeks.—^Van Owen is back from an inspection of an East Coast Shipyard.—Slim Math- eson is in the market for a set of secondtod fajse teetji.
