A New Wrinkle In Rolling Curls Start your curl at the end of the strand of hair and roll it toward the scalp keeping each successive turn of the strand to the outside of your starting curl. This makes the finished curl resemble a ndn- iature cinnamon bun, and when it is dry it will comb out into a fluffy ciirl or a regular, deep wave. Finishing Touches Department “B” By MARTHA LEE McCALL It often occurs to us that in years to come even after Ecusta and the Finishing department are just memories to us, we’ll recall people and happenings of this present day. We’ll remember: Freda D., whom most of us call “Butch”. Maybe just because she doesn’t look like a person to be called “Butch” or else because the name just “sticks.” Smyrna H.’s clean white shoes and her “little girl” ways and ap pearance. Helen G.’s nice smile and her laugh that is almost (not quite, though) a giggle. The way Maxine 0. fixes her hair, also her nickname that we like, “Mac.” How Mansen lost money on the presidential election. Alta B.’s friendliness and help fulness to all us girls. The fact that Mary Jane and Mary K. are the most suitable of friends for each other. Mildred F. making every song sound “corny” just for the heck of it. Gwen’s bows (in her hair) not in her address book; she has room for only one there—her husband. The startled look on the girl’s face on No. 2 machine when a trim breaks. Alberta missing her friend, Mae, and how she just doesn’t look right without her. • Edith and Evelyn, with their red sweaters, and always with their heads together, proving that old adage: “Two heads are better than one.” How most all the girls have their hair rolled up and have a kerchief tied gipsy style around their heads on Sati^ay night. How red our faces get when we have a top-splice, calling every- Refining News (SHIFTS A & B) By OSCAR W. HARBIN Hunting has created quite a bit of interest for the boys in the Re fining Dept. But White tells of a bear hunt which seems to interest boys wfio like to hunt. He said that a crippled bear whipped a dog, and the dog came to him, I guess for protection, because Bud had his gun along. I can’t blame the dog. Bud also tells of a deer hunt that brought in meat. Now that hunting seems to be the go, Leland Thomas, Clifford Gillespie and Guy Emerson are coon hunting. Guy still says that there are more coons in these hills than there are coon dogs. Men on sick list are not for gotten. We see Arthur Orr is able to walk around again. Glad to see you up and going again, Arthur. Hope you’ll soon be able to come to work. Christmas is just around the corner and we wish everyone a Merry Christmas. The dead-line got me again with no news. We often say no news is good news; anyway, will try to have some next time. one’s attention to our plight. Amy Hyder’s liking for square dancing and “jive” in general. Well, we hope to have our usual news and gossip of the day rounded up for your reading pleasure. To make “Peace on earth, good will toward men” a reality instead of just words to a Christmas carol, let’s back our boys in faith and hope through buying an extra bond or stamp, now. Wishing you a hap py New Year. Black walnuts planted on idle acres will produce profits in both nuts and timber, says R. W. Grae- ber, in charge of Extension fores try at State college, Machine Room News BY JOHN GOOLSBY Well, here we are again. Lots of us have been together for the sixth Christmas. Many who joined our ranks at that time are now in the armed services to make this, and the rest of the world a better place to live in. Many new ones have joined our ranks since that time. Let me at ithis time take the opportunity to wish each and ev ery one of you everywhere a Mer ry Christmas and a Happy and Pxosperous New Year. Sherman Ducker is back with us once more after a long trip over after a bunch of rats. Sherman re ceived his discharge from the ma rine corps. He was wounded in the South Pacific, for which he was awarded the Purple Heart. We are gi£d to have him back with us once more. Believe me, we have a cook right here in our midsit; yes, Ar nold (Slim) Williams. If you want a rabbit fried right until you can see the brown gravy oozing out irom around it, brother he is the man to see. Once more one of our brave boys has paid the supreme sacrifice over the skies of Germany. Wil liam (Mac) Heaton went down and was reported killed in action Sept. 5 th. This brings the Machine room number of casualties to two. Watch over those whose silver wings Have brushed the blue of heavMi dome Administer thy comfortings To women. Lord, who wait bade home. IN FLANDERS FIELD In Flanders field the poppies blow, Between the crosses, row on row. That mark our place, and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amidst the guns be low. We are the dead; short days ago We lived, saw dawn, saw sunset glow. In Flanders fields where poppies grow. —John D. McRae Earl (Paddle-foot) Rickman was telling me that Strikland is be yond all doubts the best baker he has ever seen work together on number eight machine. Earl tells me he had him to bake him a cake for Thanksgiving, and right away he put in his order for Christmas. Earl said the price on these cakes would surprise you. Glad to see you boys back from the front who have visited us this past month. It makes a fellow glad to say he worked with me. Come to see us any time you can, and we hope it will not be long when we can say we are glad it is over and you are back to stay. Good luck, fellows, and will try again next month to bring it to you as I see it. So long. SNOW IN SUMMER Major Tom Ramsey wants an air- conditioned pup-tent. He writes on a post-card picture, showing the Hoites-Alpes covered with snow. He says, “This is what some of the country I’ve seen looks like in summer time.”
