PATENT OFFICE "REIAEWBER THM ^^^N,WUO YOU LMJ6HEOOUT OF THE OFFICE 'CAUSE WE SWD HE'D IMVENTED k ROCKET SrtlP THAT/D TAKE WW TO MARSP'-' Plant Research By DONNA WRIGHT Industrious guy, that Dr. Ray. He came in grinning from ear to ear one day, telling how he had worked faithfully night after night, although each night he was a very tired fellow. He had finally com pleted his Dark Room—a pretty color combination of red and yel low. Can any one grow flax at Pis- gah Forest, N. C.? Just what would you guess? After having seen the beautiful Regional Nursery of the Island flax patch, my answer is yes! After having received a dis charge from the army on the sec ond day of May, Dr. Jack Whit ney, plant physiologist, is filling his place in this department, working faithfully with flax fi bers day after day. Jo went last Saturday on a fish ing trip to Frozen Lake. (Jo, how long did it take your back to bake?) Anyway, the boat ride must have been a lot of fun. I don’t know just how many fish were caught—maybe two or one. I suppose fishing just runs in our department. Early on the morning of June 16, on the bank of the beautiful Horse ‘Pasture River, sat Lillie, wishing with- all her might That she could only get a bite. Soon she had an answer to her wish; Before she left the river, she had caught 15 fish! Mr. Fisher had to shed his shirt, just can’t take the effect of the sun. He would like a new “sun suit”, an abbreviated one. Fred and Lonnie have been to visit with Fred’s family, just for a week end. It’s a pity they didn’t have more time to spend. Mrs. Vannah is away for awhile, spending some time in Maine, I hope it won’t be long untill she’ll be back again. Mr. Vannah is cook—he came in this A. M. all out of breath, And said, “If my wife don’t hurry home I’m going to starve to death.” Carolyn had “a hundred dollars to spend, or maybe a little more”, So she went just as fast as the Stream-line cpuld take her, Chemical Lab. News By THELMA GLAZENER There’s a vacation fever creep ing in the lab. again. Results: packed bags, reservations and for gotten toothbrushes. Marietta Rozier left June 20 for Lawrence, Mass., by way of Albany and Boston. Edith Ridenhour spent her va cation in Washington, D. C., and Charlotte, N. C. Ted Mull took off for Queens- port. Pa., Saturday, June 15. “Ricie” Robinson attended a wedding in Washington, D. C. Dorothy Johnson represented the B. & P. W. club at their annual convention in Charlotte. Lucy Clarke spent a week end in Augusta, Ga. Gus Grose not only got a car on his vacation, but completed his new house in Chimney Rock and moved. Jean Kuykendall visited in Val- dese for a week end. Edith Stiles spent a week end at her home in Franklin. Vera Al ison was her guest. Paul Kellar had his vacation, but we haven’t had any reports on his activities. Pearl Mull spent part of her five days off in Greenville with friends. “Cindy” Brown visited Julia Morgan, who has been ill in St. Joseph’s hospital in Asheville. Our congratulations and best wishes to Dr. and Mrs. Sigmon, who were married at Vale, N. C., June 2, and to Mr. and Mrs. Mar cus Laws, married at Pisgah For est Baptist church on June 1. straight to Baltimore. There she visited her sister and brother-in-law, they were just fine. They certainly showed Carolyn a wonderful time. Now maybe I have room for a few more notes: Jack Sewell is still trying to sell two “lady” goats. Here is a plea I have just heard from Dr. Wliitney: “Will someone please sell me some butter? If you can’t sell me half a t)ound, just sell me a pound. I’ll tell you folks, for butter I’m as hungry as a hound!” Finishing Department (Third Shift) By JESSIE MAE CLAMPITT There are some that come, some go, and some that stay on grave yard, but we always manage to have a full shift. Sorry to lose Bobbie C. to days; but since it’s just for a month, we’ll forgive her. Chris and Frosty tell us they hope how soon a certain party gets a new car. They say they’re get ting tired pushing all the time. Joyce, it looks like third shift really agrees with you. She tells us she’s gained seven pounds—uh- huh. How about your 15 pounds, Jessie Mae? Reba is finding out that experi ence is a grand teacher. So are quite a few in Finishing depart ment, since they have been ti^ng to get a tan all in one day, these pretty, sunny days. We’ll have to hand it to the men this month. They really have been nice to work wi^. They real ly keep after those sets as they roll off. If you thought Sal looked like the cat that ate the mouse, It’i just ham. Now, Sal, where did you get all that ham for a “ham fry”? Now, Lucille, tell us the secret of why you’re all smiles. Oh, I see. Van is coming for week end. Leona tells us that fishing is a grand sport. Tell us, Leona, did you have fisherman’s luck? Inspection Dept. (B Shift) By BUVEE CAPPS The “tops” this month is about the chicken fry at Camp Sapphire, which was a very enjoyable event. Mr. Matthews was present and was very bashful at first, but af ter he got the taste of chicken, he was 0. K. Red. C. ate so much chicken that he built a “picket fence” around his plate, then called the dogs to feed them the other bones to keep* from being embarrassed. D. L. and Monroe like boat rid ing very much, especially when they find turtles to scare little girls with. Strange things happen, such as Hazel P. ate ice cream and sat on a furnace—all at the same time. Claude has already asked Santa Claus to bring him a plastic bath ing suit, like Juanita’s sandals. “Butter” S. knows his car has valves and rods in it for he heard them knocking. Sadie seems like she is about to strike a gold mine with the word “romance”. Wonder if Mon roe has any evidence? Raleigh has made the purchase of a new refrigerator but wants to keep it a secret, so don’t tell anyone. Almond H. and Elmo M. have each enjoyed a vacation this month. Perhaps Elmo should have cut rye instead of going to Myrtle Beach trying to get a sun tan. Gordon W. went deep sea fish ing the other day. He repprts no luck, said “the ocean was too rough.” But Gordon was too scared to fish. He might have hooked a shark. Gee whiz! Look at the new hair cuts, Claude, Raleigh, Shook, Ras- tus — wonder why so many on graveyard? It’s time for us to drink more coffee, so we can keep up the good name, “Coffee Drinking Shift.” Come now, Herbert. Don’t double cross Big “B.” Slje might cut your coffee out,
