Machine Booklet Here’s another busy day in Ma chine Booklet in September. First of all we want to welcome our new girls. We hope they will be with us for years to come. They are Ruby Rowland, Beatrice Owens, Hattie McCraw, Bobbie Westall, Willoree Wilson, Ina McCall, and two of our ole-timers back — Catherine Corn and Mae Owens. Norma Raines is back with us after a 30-day leave with her hus band. Lucky gal! We \>efe all very sorry about Marie Nelson’s accident several weeks ago, but she is now back with us, which makes us all very happy. Ellen Sentelle is also back from her week at summer camp. She had a very nice time. Guess none of us girls will for get September 18th—the day we had such an awful odor all through Machine Booklet. The cause being a skunk which was killed on the railroad track just the many boys who have cleaned their guns and have everything in readiness for the time. Clarence Pressley and Bill Bry son are in the car business now. They traded one car between them and both of them made money. Harry Crane and Everett Whit mire don’t understand this and are trying to find out how they do it Coy Sitton had an automobile wreck on the night of the 17th, but we’re glad to say did not suffer any injury. In the absence of a radio in the Pulp Mill every one looks to Paul Merck for the latest news. We see where Coach “Slim” Bullock’s “Blue Devils” won their first football game of the season. Keep up the good work, “Slim.” Harry Crane has traded his car with the rock proof windshield. Better practice dodging, Harry. “Dobie” Lance wants to borrow two dollars for a few days. Any one willing to risk “Dobie’s” cred it just let him know. Elmer Baker has some very nice turnip greens for sale if anybody is interested. We’re glad so many of the boys are returning from service to their old jobs. “WELCOME” to them all. behind us. Poor old thing! There’s Audrey Summey, who gets letters regularly from her sai lor hubby, but “would rather have him home”. But don’t all of us want our husbands and sweet hearts back! Oh, what a wonderful day that will be. Seems as if Margaret, Violet, Clara, Louise and Jinnie are still trying to find a “feller”. We are glad to have a new bride, Janett Riddle, who is very happy. Maymie Reynolds was out for two days on account of illness; we all want her to know we missed her, and hope she doesn’t get sick any more. Mary Alice Merrill seems to be happy; I’ll let you in on a secret —she’s in love with a guy in Ra leigh—a “civilian”. As I look back to all the ma chines, I see our two mechanics, Dick and James, hopping from ma chine to machine—busy working men! (As though we girls don’t work-) Good news from one of our old girls who worked here; Florence Souther Clay (Louise’s sister), has a nine-pound, two-ounce boy, James Earl Clay, brought to her by the stork on the 8th day of September, Both are reported doing fine. Flor ence’s hubby is now in the Phil ippines. Reba McCall still gets letters from her husband, who is in France. Reba, we all hope he’s home soon. Harry G. was away from work a week due to illness, and we all missed him very much. I guess everyone sees a differ ence in our uniforms now, since we are wearing overalls and caps. Some say we look just like boys. Well, folks, you know how it is —woilc time again, so we’ll try to see you again next month. So long for now. Pvt. Ernest Cagle, M. P., visited the plant on August 23, ’45, while on a 16-day furlough. At the time of his induction, January, ’45, he was employed in the Inspection de partment. Pvt. Cagle received ba sic training at Camp Croft, S. C. He will return to Ft. Jackson, where he is stationed at the Re habilitation Center. A brother, Chester Cagle, is employed in the Pulp Mill. Autobound News (2nd Shift) By NELL WALDROP We sure are glad to see Marie N. back with us again after her accident. If you see Gwynn Bowen run ning around with a pencil and paper, you will know she is count ing up the points her sailor hus' band has. Aurie, you had better let Edith get off the bus first. Maybe she could stop those “cartwheels” you seem to love to turn. “Tokyo Bay” has been stamped all over Hazel O.’s mail these days. We aren’t prying, but how does the letter look inside? Evelyn S. is a proud girl now. Her soldier friend is learning to be a cook, and Evelyn has her heart all “set”. Don’t be alarmed to see Dixie W. sitting on the ladder. The con veyor jams so much, she just has to stay up there. Don’t get discouraged, “Red”. H. You will make a wonderful op erator, yet. Betty Me. is rather blue these days. Her boy friend, who was stationed at Greenville Air Base, has gone home to Wisconsin on furlough. With the most nonchalant air, when asked about her boy friend, Roxie A. will say. “Which one?” Kidnapping is a word not often heard in this department, but Hal- lie P. thinks that would be a good way to get her man. Delta Me., when a big, burly po liceman wants to know what you have in your purse—don’t run— show him. Ha! Look underneath all those pret ty blonde curls, and you will find the same little Annie Lou B. Come now, Carolyn and Mary Martha, just who were the boys in khaki you were seen talking with on the bus Saturday night? Reba Me., why not introduce your goodlooking soldier, who seems to be around each week end? Our “honey” girl and forelady, Alma H., forgot herself once, and by a slip of the lip, certainly caused her face to turn flaming red! Better watch out, Alma! Ruby D. spent a pleasant week end at Myrtle Beach. Louise D. was missed at the same time, but she was off dancing with the Ecus- ta dance team. Helped win second place, too! We know cornbread and milk for supper will make you fat, but what is the coffee for, Willard? If you couldn’t see Catherine Anders, you’d never know she was here. Feeders, can’t you get her to talk? Lois 0. isn’t planning many more evening shifts; her one and only is coming home with a discharge. If you are wondering why Jo- sie I. has that special gleam in her eyes, ask her about that sai lor of hers. He’s coming home. We wish for Gustina I. a speedy recovery. We sure do miss her among the feeders. Mildred 0. surely is missed by the box-makers, but our loss is just for a few days. SOUR ANSWER Junkman: “Any old beer bottles you’d like to sell, lady?” Old Lady: “Do I look as though I drink beer?” Junkman: “Any vinegar bottles you’d like to sell?”
