News And Gossip From Our Various Departmenb Autobound News By EULA GRAY Well, it seems as if time flies— anyway, we think so. Here we are again with the latest gossip and the Autobound news. We are all glad to hear that the girls’ husbands are coming home at last. We each extend our sympathy to G. Rowen on the death of her brother-in-law. Lois 0. has been all smiles late ly. We wonder why. Could her boy friend be the reason? We wonder why Jeanne George has been so sleepy this week. Could it be the postman that is keeping her out later than her bedtime? We all miss John S. since he has been working nights. Hope he will soon be on days again. Seems as if Alma H. is waiting for a letter before taking her va cation. Could she be expecting her husband home soon? We are glad to see Wilma, Eliz abeth and Sarah back at work. Johnnie is back at work after getting a discharge. He is look ing good so Uncle Sam must have fed him steaks and ham, eh John nie? Sure do miss Lucille since she has gone to work in the Printing department. Here’s wishing you success in your new job. Mary Edith reports a nice time on her vacation. Bill, which is your steady job— fixing the machine or the con veyor? We see you swimming in the air quite often. Helen N. has been taking too many trips to Asheville and Green ville lately. Let us in on the se cret. We can’t figure it out on the pictures you take. Sarah Loftis has been out sev eral days while she was moving into her new home. Everyone reported a nice time at the Champagne picnic. We are glad everyone enjoyed it. Deadline is here again, so, so long, folks. Power Dept. News By WALTER KAY Now that the World Series is over, and we hope everyone was pleased, we can go ahead with our football season. Woodrow Allen took his vaca tion last week in Charlotte. Did you get any work done. Woody? Dutch Bruner is taking his va cation this week—bear hunting. Dutch says that just to prove he’s really a bear hunter, he will bring his bear home alive—if the bear can keep up with him. Pete Norwood and Morris Dorn have recently purchased cars. But both had bad luck. Pete says dogs and cars don’t mix. Obie Willingham, too, has bought himself a new car. Sherman Hunter has moved from Maple street—sorry to have you leave us. Hunter. Bill Lowrey has also left the city to become a country squire Morris Ward went to Detroit r& cently and bought a bowl of to mate soup. For details, see Albert Payne. We, of the Power department really enjoyed our chicken sup per and again we want to thank Mr. Straus for a really delight £ul evening. Well, lucky me, space and news ran out together, so ’bye now. OOLSBlI leaning 'YOU KNOW I THINK TMEV HAD SOMETHlNCr, AT THAT, with those SAFETY PRECAOTIOMS." Cafeteria-Canteen Chatter By SULA COX The gang is happy hoping to have Ole Hal Keener back with us by the time this is published. A new discharge is probably his lat est possession. Mrs. Mildred Baumgarner is our new counter girl and Mrs. Annie Kitchen is our new bottle boy. Sure has a good chance to check up on Mr. Kitchen—Ha. We hear by the postman that two or three of our old gang ex pect to visit us soon—the sooner the better as they too will be “Mr.” again and expect to return to work. We have lots of friends al ready and are always to make more, but do not wish to give up any of our old ones; so hurry back to us you service G. I.’s. The Canteen gang is plenty hap py to have “Skinny” back. She is a mighty nice person to have around in the opinion of the entire CC gang. Huh? What is this we hear about Henry having to have a bedtime story read to him every night be fore he can go to sleep? See Ship man about this. May just be a ru mor or sumpin’. Taylor, Mrs. Taylor and chil dren, Bob and Janice, have been visiting Mrs. Taylor’s mother, Mrs. Kincaid, who has been very ill. We hope she has completely recovered by now. Jackie reports her mother has been very ill in a Charlotte hos pital, but is now very much im- proved. Mrs. Blake and family have had a nice visit from Pvt. Souther. His is a friendly face we would like to see in the line pvery day. Mildred is pretty sure her hus band, Cpl. John Baumgarner, is on his way home. We hope so as he has never’seen his young son, Johnnie who is now 18 months old. Smitty has been having gobs of company lately—among them two sisters, Mrs. J. C. Evatte and Mrs. G. F. Lindsay of S. C. and brother, Ted C. Wood, of Detroit, Mich. They are all very happy over the return of their brother, J. C. Wood, who has been a Merchant marine for the last six years. The past four years have been spent in a Jap prison camp. He was a cook and fared fairly well for which ev eryone is thankful. He wrote some Plant Research By DONA WRIGHT News in the department is scarce at this time, but what I have I’ll put in rhyme. We gave Mr. Vannah a birthday dinner October 11, he was 54, Cheer up! “Van” and see if you can live 50 more. I know that Lillie’s house is no longer bare. As three of her sons from the army are there. Mr. Vannah and Jack are now in S. L, but what they are doing no one knows, They said they were going where crotaleria grows. “Jo” tells me she has been to White Pine Camp to see how much fried chicken she could eat, and how much ground she could tramp. If any one wonders why Carolyn is wearing such a smile. She is expecting her brother. Max, to get discharged in a lit tie while. Honest, I’m not trying to be a “crank”, But I don’t know a darn thing to report about Dr. Ray and Uncle Frank. pitiful letters, however, stating the need for food. Bessie and Alfred have planned extensive repairs and improve ments on their new home. Still we say, “More power to you, kids.” Levy has moved to her new home near “Onion Hill”. Those of us who knew the place are sur prised at what they have done to it, and they plan to do even more. They have our good wishes, too. Half Pint and Ed are certainly past the “bed time story age.” They are big enough to go “dear” hunting. They, too, have our good wishes. Well, we didn’t mention every body—but then there is always a next time, so goodbye until later— Oh, Flora, is taking her vaca tion this week, and we hop# she’s enjoying it. SOME PEOPLE By JOHN H.
