PAGE TWO THE ECHO May, News And Gossip From Our Various Departments liupection Dept. (B Shift) By BUVEE CAPPS April showers bring May flow ers,—May flowers bring June brides. Let’s keep our eyes on Birdell, Beulah and Sadie. Our subject this month is about Claude’s strawberries. He won’t eat any until they get the size of melons, so they can be “peeled.” “B” Shift welcomes Monroe Me Call back after four years in ser vice. Beulah W. looks terribly lone some nowadays. Could there be a reason? Juanita G. enjoyed a nice vaca tion,—especially with a tall and handsome guy from Asheville around. Ralph S. purchased himself a limousine. Let this be a warning to the rest of us to keep on the right side of the road. Bessie is doing fine now; she recovered from the bad case of spring fever. Hubert B. has about decided that school teachers can make the easiest living. Earl G. has used cars for sale. He has a T-Model, A-Model and a Studebaker. He can’t decide which one is worth the most, but he knows that gasoline will burn when a match is struck! Gordon W. gets excited over different helpers. He is letting too many rolls stick. Ed Cagle was so far behind with his wood hauling, he decided to take a vacation to get caught up. We’ll give more details later. In the year 1950, Rastus S. will have a good pick-up for sale. (Af ter he f i n i s h e s the overhauling Job.) Raleigh W. made a recent le- port about his vacation coming in August, —namely, a second hon eymoon. At this writing, Reba H. is en joying a vacation somewhere. We have Ko news yet. Almond H. is in the rabbit bus iness; all he needs is more rab bits. Well, it’s time for the “tater buggy,” so we’ll gossip more later. _ zm WA zm >mi "just TR\ED that NEV/ VAK\SHlNe CREAfA YOU INVENTED » THINK you've 60T SOMETHlN&/‘' Finishinfi' Dept. News “C” SHIFT By JESSIE MAE CLAMPITT Everything is really running smoothly on graveyard. And why not? Alta really has been nice to us. Could your secret be, Alta, that you know that,, “to rule well, the iron hand must wear a velvet glove” ? Say, Frosty, why the longer uni form? So the rumor is true that you have two lovely skinned knees! Just how did that happen? According to Herman’s descrip tion of Chris’s latest boy friend, she must be robbing the cradle. But don’t feel badly about it, Chris, as I hear Bobbie C. has been buying loads of “Carnation” milk. Don’t tell us that sailor is on a milk diet yet? Not you too, Jack!! How can “C” Shift tolerate another clown! Glad to have “Mac” and Lu cille on our shift. We’re simply green with envy, Marie. What’s the technique? We’d like a beautiful diamond like you’re wearing, too. Bowling with Rusty is getting to be a habit, isn’t it, Willoree? And you still tell Lester you’re a man-hater! Sorry, Lucy. It looks like you’re getting plenty of falls lately. But don’t let it get you down,—^your ankle will be better soon. Ruth, you’ve been holding out on us. We didn’t know you could fry such delicious eggs. How about trying your hand at cook ing something else for breakfast? We’re glad to have Donna Ruth Galloway, Ruth Johnson, Mary Martha Gardner and Ola Masters with us on graveyard. Hope you like us, girls. We’re sorry to lose Lawrence Tabor and Mr. Corbet to Ed’s shift. Come back again, sometime, boys. Well,—this is ’by, until next month. Pulp Mill News By HELEN KIMZEY “Who done it?” Somebody stole Otts’ beef steak the other night? It points to Babo Passmore and Harry Crane from the smile on their faces. “Shorty” Davis seems to be on better standing at home lately af ter a clean understanding. Harry Crane spent his last five days off widening the road on Hesters Nobb. “Dobie” Lance has been on va cation from the mill but he has been very busy at home building a dwelling house and chicken house for Gordon Leslie. Fritz Merrill has taken Chester Cagles’ place teaching Charles how to play baseball. We’ve been thinking of trans ferring Everett Whitmire and Coy Sitton to the Control Department. We are glad to hear that Hardy Kilpatrick will be back within a week or ten days. Claude Jones has hogs for sale that are guaranteed not to commit suicide, their nose is too far ahead of their brain. Fred Ashe seems to be feeling fine after a week’s vacation. Babe Passmore wants to close out his duck business. He says he has ten drakes to sell. TRIPLE KILLING? Teacher (in grammar class): Willie, please tell me what it is when I say, “I love, you love, he loves.” Willie: That’s one of them tri angles where somebody gets shot. Refining Dept. News By JACK RHODES Reporting “Buffalo Bill” Cauble back in training for bronc bust ing. Ed Whitmire tells us that Bill has a pony at home, and ab solutely won’t let the kids ride until he has' his turn first. “Ride ’em. Cowboy ! ! ” Marvin McCall and Clarence Is rael were on vacation this past week, and from reports we hear, Goode Loftis had better restock his fishing streams. Marvin bought 100 lbs. of onions lately, just to get the bag for a seine. Glad to see Jack Wilber playing baseball this year. The “Old Maes tro” intends to play as long as it doesn’t interfere with his golf lessons he takes from Jimmy “Nickel-a-Hole” Poteet. Lloyd and Clannie McGahs took me to Glenville Lake the other day, and we had a good time Brought back 34 bream, too. (In a half a gallon fruit jar.) “Grandpa” White hit a terrific triple against Hazelwood in Ecus- ta’s first home game. Coulda been a home run except for his girdle. It was too tight and kept him from getting his second wind as he rounded first base. My advice is, next game, borrow Jack Alex ander’s. You can tell it’s not a tight fit. Boy, did Charlie Russell miss a chance to even the score with his boss in a softball game last week! The regular catcher hurt his finger, and Charlie volunteered to catch, and let the boss play first. I sure pity “Speedy” Jones, if Bud or I ev»r get a chance like that. “Gizzard” Thomas feels terribly let down this week. While Mr. Glass and Mr. Eversman were making moving pictures in the Mill, they were to take a shot of old “Giz” on an electric truck. Was he burned up when they wouldn’t let him face the camera! Oh well, Giz, you needed a shave, anyway. “Big Chief Slowfoot” Neuman has been on vacation. Understand he went to the Cherokee Reser\’a- tion, and caught up on the latest war dances. Enno Camenzind has been try ing to reload Burgin Kilpatrick with hogs again, but Burgin says Machine Room tbil djl tlf By JOHN GOOLSBY Once again we have news is sad.
