PAGE FOURTEEN THE ECHO News And Gossip From Our Various DeparW Autobound News fty SARA LOFTIS And ELLEN SENTELLE Well, here it is April again, and we have a “shower” of news this month. Betty Roller became the bride of Clannie McGaha on Wednesday, April 3 at the Baptist parsonage in Brevard. We wish you both the best of luck and happiness. We wonder who the guy is that ,waits in front, of the theater for Evelyn Taylor these days? Elizabeth Carter is happy now. Her boy friend arrived in the states recently. Myrtle Dockens and Rubye Jones are planning to attend the Ken' tucky Derby at Louisville. Hope your horse wins!! We were sorry to lose so many of our girls to the Finishing de partment. Johnnie Dermid, Carolyn Wa ters, Lucy Dockens and Wiliie Prince are spending a month’s ’’a- cation in Florida. We’re anjcious to hear some of their “tall stories” when they return. Mary Price is always on time at church on Sunday nights. We only know his first name is Andy. Also we mustn’t forget Betsy Allison and her latest boy friend, Isaac. We enjoyed our tour through ths plant, and the information given us by our guide, Mr. Elias. We’ll finish with a few of our Autobound Nursery Rhymes and Songs: // (((((, ■I / //.f 0 // / ii'' (I, ( / (■ Ul'■( I 'k r r ( Vr{f f , f, L ’’^r ///f'rJl f ft,' ^ J -r ^ r.r/r‘ f y !>ri //■ I', ^(r (\Vf I (ifi /| (I I, - /' / o Machine Room News “Dopey Phil,” the storekeeper’s son.

We see some old faces back with us again: A1 Montville is back from the marines, and Enno Camenzind is to be back with us soon. Wel come back, fellows. It seems that we have only two beatermen on “D” Shift that can make a “Good Plus” rating. How do you do it, boys? From all the talk we hear late ly, the fish are in for a bad time, now that the trout season is open. Personally, I would like to bor row Bud White’s ruler, after he gets through measuring a few catches. How about it. Bud? Roy Fisher is back at work, af ter a minor operation. Caskell Rhodes had a birthday last week. I just wonder if he isn’t about old enough to start dating the girls. What do you think, C. K?. If anyone is interested in buy ing something new in pigs, see By JOHN GOOLSBY Things have been on the dull side in the department, as far as real news goes, but I have man^ aged once more to pick up a little here ^and there. Most of you remember that great supply of meat Wesley Ballard got from two hogs he killed last year, Well, he has been literally swamped with orders to raise pigs for folks on shares. One of his cus tomers is Spurge Queen, yep. The other morning a truck drove up in the yard. Spurge Queen had two shoats for him to raise. Wesley agreed to all of the contract except at butchering time—Spurge had to do the shooting. Paul Simpson has returned from a combination of a vacation and honeymoon, visiting Atlanta, Birmingham and all points South. Paul has settled down now to a happy married life. Folks, don’t try to wash your car to save (.75) seventy-five cents. This is why: Frank Barton and Grover Suttles looker over a small creek and decided to run their car in it and get a free wash job. They had no sooner reached the middle of the stream, than the bottom gave way, and water was running over the h o o d, the car completely submerged. When they finally got it out, the bill was $67.50 for spare parts that water had damaged, and they still think, the way it coughs and spits, they will have to get a new engine—all to save six bits. Lots of our boys are on vacation at this writing — Suttles, Siniard and Speed Roe, who are off to the Kentucky races. Suttles and Sin iard are probably out after those speckled trout. Nathan McMinn has definitely given up golf. He was seen a few Sundays back, chopping at some thing. Most of the folks thought he was killing a snake, and came to his rescue. When they got to where he was, he quietly picked up his ball, and walked to the club house without any comment. Well, our baseball squad says the crisis is over, once they have all the kinks out, and are ready now to get down to business. Yep, another winning season is the an swer. Red Thomas let me down this time—no news. So long. Refining News SHIFT “A” By OSCAR HARBIN Old timers seem to be coming back again to the Refining depait- ment. We are glad to have A1 Montville back, and John C. Whit mire says he will soon be back. We are glad to see the ex-service men again, and we welcome all of them. Many of the men are taking va cations now. The old coon hounds are tied, and fishing stories are what we hear. We really hear some good ones—big fish, little fish, and stomping snakes. “A” Shift now has a deep-sea fishing crew organized. We would like to get the size and weight ex act, so be careful, boys. We are wishing you the best of luck.
