He paid us a flying visit Nov. 22. Troy is stationed aboard a destroy er escort and has made several trips to the European theatre of war and back. Robe^ Jennings, also a Navy man, visited us November 15th. Robert was control tester before entering the service. He is now stationed in California. Good luck to both of you fellows and keep up the good work. Well, folks, everyone in the Re fining room is looking forward tp a visit from old Santa Claus. Espe cially Bergin Kilpatrick and Wil lie Tinsley; you should hear them get together and sing “Up on the house top, click, click, down through the chimney, ole St Nick,” No kidding, folks, let’s all stop and think for a moment of the deep true meaning of Christmas— “Peace on earth, good will toward men,” the birth of a Savior, Who gave His all that we might live eternally. And, folks, here’s wishing and hoping that before another Christ mas comes around all our boys will be back home, so we can en joy the next Christmas together and really have something to be thankful for. Here’s wishing everyone a Mer ry Christmas and a Happy New Year—wherever you may be! By EULA GRAY At this writing, we are gather ing up this year’s results of our early winter months. Our harvest was fair, and we have been work ing steadily. Has anyone heard ithis little sketch before? Roses are red, vio lets are blue, oh how I wish I were as chubby as you. Jean can give you information on that. . . . Kath- l^n, where did you get your last fingernail polish? No, they don’t give it away. . , . Beg your par don, but did you say something, Lucille? ... By the way, Alma and Kat know some good news, but they say it must be in blue and white. Pick them for a itattle- tale. My, but did one’s heart beat last week when we had our sailor friends coming thru’! Throb, throb. . . . We were glad to have the Cas sell brothers visit our department the other day.,, . . We hope you all are planning a big Christmas, Hope Santa is good to everyone, and will bring back our sailors,’ soldiers and marines. Merry Christmas to you all. So long until next year, dear friends. Physical Lab. News By ANNIE LOU HAMLIN The men’s bowling team is on top this year and the girls’ team is doing 0, K,, too. You bowlers keep up the good work. Mr, Kirk has returned from a week s vacation that was spent in New York, Lloyd Harris, a former Quality supervisor on “A” shift, is now working in the Pilot plant. In his place we ^ave Hugh Bradbum, who comes to us from the Inspec tion department. We are sorry to hear that Jean nette, small daughter of Millard Teague, underwent an operation for appendicitis a few days ago. We wish for her a speedy recovery. We enjoyed the nice letter from Pfc. Raleigh Waldrop, who is now in France, and the Christmas greeting from Sgt, Rupert Cliff, who is somewhere in the Pacific area. So long 'til next year and Merry Christmas to you all! By BETSY ALLISON Just a wee bit of gossip to let you all know that we are thinking of hanging our stockings up high on the mantel-piece, for that jojly old man, Santa Claus. Of course, one doesn’t expect much, but some little remembrance will make our hearts feel young and gay on this happy occasion. Looking back a few years, we can well recall all the dolls, red wagons, toy drums, etc., that were essential for a happy Christmas. Now, we feel that if all of our sons, fathers, brothers and sweet- hearts were once again safe in their homes, nothing else would be needed for the happiest Christ mas we’ve ever had. We, of the stitching department, would like to send greetings to all of our fellow-workers in the serv- ice of our country, and to wish them the very best of luck, health, and happiness. As for here at home, we shall ^ to pass on a few newsy items, or the benefit of those who are mterested. News flash! Guess who’s wear ing a beautiful diamond? None other than Wilma H. Lots of luck, pa . Lillie S, is taking her vaca - tion, at home, next week. Ruby D. IS also on vacation. Hazel O. is going to spend the holidays at her former home in Thomasville, N, C. We all know that Catherine S. Agnes E,, and Bill N. are happy to be working days once again. Rubby Beddingfield is spending Christmas at her home near Lake Toxaway. Rachel H. and Frances W. are staying home, in hopes Santa will pay them a visit. Evelyn T. is all a-flutter! Her boy-friend has arrived in the States .... from Panama. Josie C. and Thelma S. are wish- stove back in the NotcWng department. Evelyn N. IS getting worried about Santa P»r Bobby M. is aU broken^ hearted. We think it was very un- kind o£ John S. to break the news to him before Christmas. For 21 enjoyed the visit of old St. Nick. Too bad he couldn’t have been spared one more Christ mas! (Oh well!) sign off now by wishing you the merriest ever, and a happy and prosperous New Year. Pilot Plant News By HARRY S. KOLMAN Now that no more new babies are expected, and the ones recently arrived all have their happy fa thers well “broken in,” on their graveyard schedules, we will have to look elsewhere for our news We welcome Lloyd Harris into the fold! Dorothy Singletary has again been off to the football classics. This time it was to Atlanta and the Georgia Tech-Notre Dame game. We wonder if it is really the games she IS interested in. U. G, (Wrong-Way Corrigan) Batson is on the right track again. Perhaps it is because of the good ' influence of “Barometer” Brown Lloyd bagged a deer the other day! We are glad to have at least one good shot among us. Oh yeah! ’ Here’s wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
