TF MEN PLAYED
CARDS AS WOMEN
DO” WAS «IVEN
Feminine foibles v.?ere cleverly
satirized in a one-act comedy en
titled, “If Men Played Cards as
/ Women Do,” which was presented
four male employees of the
r^ulp Mill at the monthly party
given for employees in the Ecusta
cafeteria Friday evening, Nov. 26.
Sang Lyday was cast in the role
“hostess” and his guests were
Fritz Merrill, Bill Bangs and Ott
Whitesides.
Naturally, women’s penchant for
gossip was revealed and the con
versation touched upon many
topics of interest to them. As
^ight have been expected, when
one of the quartet espied a phan
tom mouse in the corner of the
foom where they were playing, all
of them promptly clambered on
their chairs with many shrieks.
Comment on the furnishings of
the room when the “hostess” went
out for a moment was avid and
scathing.
Before the play was presented,
John Eversman conducted a quiz
contest in which cigarettes were
^Warded to those who gave correct
Replies.
John Goolsby was then called
to the microphone, and, in re-
ponse to Mr. Eversman’s questions
told how that morning on his way
to work he had battled and killed^
® six-point deer, the first one
ne had ever seen.
Square dancing was enjoyed
ooth before and after the pro-
g^*am and a number of those pre
sent played bridge.
Isn t This The Way The Women Would Do, Is It?

Among the numerous discus-
lons pertaining to the health,
®fety and welfare of the em-
woyees was the subject of “Eye
Aluries and How They Can Be
revented.” It was pointed out
nat since September ]st, 1943,
nere had been 57 eye cases treat-
m first aid. Of these, four were
sp nature that they were
specialists in Asheville
Hendersonville. Even though
One of these cases developed into
1 ^ything serious, any one of the
^tter four cases could have easily
ji^^lted in the loss , of an eye. In
.|je interest of preventing eye in-
even of the minor type, the
nimittee adopted a new type
astic goggle and recommended
^at they be obtained, for all em-
v,oyees in the Maintenance and
lectrical departments.
At the right Ott is dishing out
a choice bit of gossip about
Dopey Lance and the boys are
eagefly listening as though that
were the most important thing
in the world.

Office Bits
“Hats Off” to another bride
Mp. R. L. Johnson, the former
Miss Mary Ruth Snow. Both Mr.
and Mrs. Johnson are empolyed in
the Main Office. Katherine E. An
derson spent the week-end in
Columbia with her husband, who
is being transferred to another
camp. Muriel Filkins writes us
from New York that she. has al
ready landed a job and is quite
pleased to be back. To our Office
Force comes George Holmes and
Fred Jordan in the Accounting de
partment. “Dot” Hunter was quite
the surprised one when she found
out that her husband would be
passing through town. The many
heart broken friends of Ted Gen
try mourn along with his wife and
family his accidental death that
happened when his plane crashed
in Asheville. Reba Russell returns
from a trip to Greensboro to see
her husband. Reba says Charlie is
getting along fine with his store-
bought teeth. Why is Mary Pax
ton in such a flutter? Could it be
that Dec. 16th is the date? We
were all quite pleased to see the
face of Dewitt Drake once again.
Dewitt was only here for a short
visit, but we hope that he will be
back soon.
