Maintenance News “Just Turn The Dial” (Factory Office) By EMMETT CLARK The deadline has passed, so I suppose it is time to get in tho report for the next issue. So here goes. So I hear Norman T. has gone into the turkey business with a certain fellow (Bruce R.). Won der who will come out at the big end of the horn. We have had a few out on the sick list in the last couple of weeks, but they are all back on the job now. Ed Happ has been spending a few days at Santee Cooper Dam on a fishing trip. I haven’t as yet got any report as to his success. Don’t guess he has had enough time to get a believable tale to gether yet. I think everyone that goes on a fishing trip should take a camera long for proof positive. Then no other person can make other statements. There are several of the fellov/s on their vacations. So far, haven’t had any report on anyone except Sherrod Harrington, who is taking a trip to the N. C. coast. Hope he is having a swell time. As I understand, there is a (picked at random) baseball team that plays around the neighbor hood. They played a game near Penrose or Etowah last Saturday. Seems that some of the carpenters had a great hand in the game. I have noticed a little bulletin about cleanliness around the plant, and think it is a grand move. I think it should apply to our own shop, as well as around the mill. If we have a clean, orderly place to work in, it makes things more pleasant all the way around, and when things are in their place, they are more easily found when we need them. If everyone will co operate, it will be a pleasure to have the visitors say, “That is the cleanest machine shop I have seen, in some time.” Bruce R. claims to have a new car, but we have only seen him riding in one—not driving it. Dale Orr came in the other day with a healthy sunburn. Said his boss (father) put him through the roughs the two days he had off, cleaning off hedgerows. Huggins, Rabbit, Collins and M. J. C. seem to be getting some fan mail lately. Thought they were By IRENE McGEE Hi everyone! This is station F. O. atop the Autobound depart ment bringing you this broadcast for tfie first time. First, a transcription; Do your onions taste different lately? Try a bottle of Change-0! Just take along with you and pour it over your onions. Presto! they now taste like carrots. They say car rots will make you pretty! A sug gested remedy for those who wish to improve their already weakened physical condition and who need nourishment. And now for some office news Button! Button! Who lost the button? See Walter Straus. He takes care of stray buttons. Ray Blankenship stands with honors in final bowling tourna ment. Keep up the good work, Ray, we’re proud of you! Miriam Merrill bubbles over with joy when someone sings “Oh Johnny!” Can’t say she is to blame when so many telephone calls and letters keep coming. Refreshment time at 10-2-4, but with Ethel Gray, it’s a date. Come rain, it’s an invitation to ride in a Chevrolet. That’s 0. K., Ethel, we’re easy to catch on. Here’s a tip—when Irene McGee comes in with a smile on her face, one could easily guess she’s had a date with none other than her handsome one! Maye Ward reports an exciting trip—yes, off to those Motorcycle Races held in Charlotte. Keep rid ing Maye, but be careful. Paul Plaut can be a sport los ! ing although a bowling game cost ■ the amount of $4.50. Next time you j feel unlucky, ask for donation from Champagne. I It’s nice to have Fred Hoffman back after a few days’ absence We missed you, Fred. Having trouble, folks? Consola 5 tion can be found through Bill I Kirk. He never refuses to listen I to anyone’s complaint, i Ears open! for a whisper in the breeze next month. t too old to get mail from abroad. 1 Bruce R. seems to be getting ' along in the lead with his bowling j now-a-days. Refining Dept. News (Shift “B”) By BILL CAUBLE PLAIN GOSSIP Some of the boys on this shift were having a bull session the other day, and we learned that one of our boys, (namely. Jack Wil ber) had a pretty fair job be fore coming to Ecusta. Jack said he liked the job fine as long as it, lasted. A few months after starting the job, he sent a tele gram to his folks, saying, “Have been made asst, foreman — a feather in my cap.” In about two months, he sent anotjier telegram to his folks, saying, “Have been made foreman — another feather in my cap,” and later, the third message reached his folks, say ing, “Have been made manager— more feathers.” A year passed, and one day his folks received this message, “Have been fired—please send money to come home.” In answer, Jack received this wire, “Use feathers—fly back.” Our Refining superinit^ndent, Speedy Jones, sure knows his his tory and keeps up with the ration ing board. Gasoline was the sub ject a few days ago, and someone asked, “How long ago did gas; rationing start, Speedy?” He re plied, “More than four hundredl years ago.” They exclaimed, “Is itjiat so!’ Speedy said, “Yes, our history book says that Queen Isa bella gave Columbus just three galleons to make the trip to In dia.” Paul Hooper is anxious to get started on ithat much talked about fishing trip to the coast this coming June. He wants to see if the rest of the world is as big as Jackson and Transylvania coun ties. You see, Paul never was ou>t of Jackson county until he start ed working for Ecusta. Is that so, Paul? Well, Fulton Holliday dood it. He weniti and got hisself married. Watch out. Fulton, — don’t be like Bill and stay in the dog house half the time. Congratulations from all of us, Fulton, and may all your troubles be little ones! Ed Whitmire will have to grow some kind of greens now, since eaiting all the poke in his neigh borhood. I wish he would get some chickens,—then I wouldn’t have to watch mine so closely. We hear that Miss Ashe is do ing nicely with her broken arm. Hurry and get well, Ashe. We all miss you. The rumor is that Jack Rhodes is very anxious to get moved; he is itired of the country and is mov ing back to the city. We know you v/ill love your new home, Jack. We wonder why Leland Thom as’ voice has changed. He talks like a woman sometimes. Maybe it’s because he is wearing a gir dle. You could use a little powder on that mug of yours, too, Leland.
