JOHNSON Mr. West, our assistant foreman, has been placed in charge of the lower end of the ;^lant because of additional work being assigned to our foreman, Mr. Cansler. Ed Ross has been out this week because of illness. Theodore Merrill will go to the Army the 29th. Ralph Rhodes has returned to high school. New workers who have come to our crew are; Manuel Stamey, Wanda L. Goins, Malinda Marshall' Ralph Galloway, Pearlee J. Rene’ Uzalee P. Jones. r»u^ Merrill, Lawrence Rhodes and Lawrence Hoots be lieve that the ladder to fame leads up to the air conditioners. Robert Banther thinks there is too much water in the Machine room, and he’s trying to get some one to kill all hydraulic rams. Things peculiar to our group; Ralph Rhodes never rides. Van E. Huggins never em braces. Lawrence Hoots doesn’t give a hoot. When the rollers get slick, Samuel Sanders them. Edgar Sitton always stands, Ruth E, is Luker warm. Malinda V. has never been to Marshall. William West always goes east. Robert never banters. Charlie Newton is not a scien tist. The following is an account of the way in which one of our work ers came to Ecusta; One terribly hot day last summer on a night when the sun was shining brightly Charlie Newton arrived at Ecusta. Being sick, both physically and mentally, he was shown to the Bowen E. Ward. On entering the ward he said he saw a group of gray headed young men squirting water with Merrill’s patented wa ter fighters. Finally Chester West made bold to inquire just why he had come to Ecusta in such a for lorn condition. Of course this was a shocking question to come from an austere representative of the Water department. After thinking a minute, Charlie told him that he realized his appearance wasn’t good, but it could not be much improved, especially after a trip to Ecusta over twenty miles horse back on a cow. Mr. Cansler wants to know if Stitching Dept. News BY EVELYN TAYLOR The Stitching will be as glad as Nell’s reading public when she gets back to work. Bill, it seems, just missed Bet sy’s fate of landing in the hospital for an appendectomy. We hope Betsy continues to get along fine. Frances W., Lillie G. and Kate S. have had happy expressions on their faces because their . hus bands have been home. Here’s hoping Agnes and Eve lyn will enjoy working with us as much as we enjoy looking at them. Honestly, it is impossible to keep up with Dot G. and Thelma S. We are glad we get our chance to work with them, tod. Ruby is to be our next girl mechanic. You will get your hands awfully dirty, Ruby. Evelyn, we will have none of that talking to soldiers during work hours even if his name is Johnny. BY PAULINE MEADOWS What do you know, it is just another girl, and Charlie is the one to be called papa. For further information see Whitmire. Has anyone noticed the differ ence in Bradburn’s vocabulary since school days? Myers, what about it, is he still a sailor? Lola did succeed with tall, dark and handsome from Champagne. Who is he Lola? Ruby A. is looking awfully lone some since Sept. 12th, wonder why? Ralph S. is taking advantage of school days since he didn’t when he was young. I Wonder if Jessie R. will ever decide which she loves the most, soldier, sailor or marine? Sitton, while on your visit to Nashville did you meet “Minnie Pearl”? “Farmer” goes around with a long face wishing “Uncle Sam” would send him a 2B card. Well, folks, that’s about all for this time. You will be hearing from us again soon. Finishings Dept. News Shift “B” Chemical Lab. News by THELMA GLAZENER There’s a variety of faces float ing round the lab these days. Sue and Anna are wearing that far- away-look face. For that vacation- is-over-doggone-it face, see Lucy who visited Richmond and Nor folk; Dot, who did Durham, and Edith who took in Charlotte. There s a lot of new faces too welcome—Allene, Edith, Dot, Bu- vee, and Sue—we don’t have a name for the face worn by Paul after attending the fireman’s con vention, but Wilkie’s worry face is caused by football and cotton. The lab extends their deepest sympathies to Ned and Jean. anyone in his department can write poetry. Just why he wants this information is a mystery. Per haps he has been reading Thomas Paine’s sixteen papers called The Crisis, in which the only memor able thing he said was, “These are the times that try men’s souls.” Anyway, last night Mary’s Littie Lamb jumped over me 999 times before sleep came along. Then I dreamed; Mary had a little lamb. But you have heard of that— Ed Ross had a little calf. One day it fell dead. But still it comes to Ecusta, Between two chunks of bread. BY PEARLEEN BLANKENSHIP Meet our new bobbin-carrier, Cedric Parris, and a new operator, Lillian Enlow. New faces arc always welcome although they usually signify the departure of old ones. In this case ’twas Rob bie, Mildred, Jean and Dot — all going back to school. So glad Jessie is back, missed her terribly during her absence. Charles Whitmire, too, was out a few days due to sickness. Jewel and Attress decided to swap shifts for a month. (Jood grief, Martha, you and J. C., too’ Don’t everyone leavel It’s easier to forgive the latter two since they only deserted for a week. Seen Billie’s new bracelet? Her friend in the South Pacific made it all by himself. Phyllis spent the week-end re cently in South Carolina visiting her aunt. Not wishing to stay by herself, Bobbie accompanied her. Wonder who the handsome sailoi- was that Bertie had in tow. Missed Opal for several days hubby home on furlough. Want to know where Elise gets all that good candy? Well, she lives in Hendersonville. Congratulations, Frank! We’re glad it was a boy. Every time Frosty plans on go ing home, her beau gets a pass. Ronnie has been on vacation but Betty helped to hold things together in rewinders. George Bar ton thought it high time he had a vacation, so off he goes. Like old tim^*- having Lydia on floor again. Took over while Vir ginia enjoyed a rest. Billie and Pearle were absent a week while their mother was in the hospital for an appendix ope ration. -Maude’s friend from Ohio has been visiting. Nadine has visitors though from Virginia. Bet Harry didn’t count on a load when he stopped to pick up two fellow-workers one night. See you round the corner!
