Machine Room News
By JOHN GOOLSBY
I guess the Machine Room is
the hardest place in the world to
get news (news that you can
write.) But I have, by the hard
est work, managed to scoop up a
little bit that might be of in
terest.
John Pickelsimer has his large
home almost completed, and ex
pects to move in now, very soon.
He has had a “no rent” sign in
front of it ever since he dug the
foundation; mighty big house, but
he will need it when he gives that
housewarming.
With L. E. Callendar as captain,
and our champion bowler, Paul
Simpson as co-captain, somebody
is going to sweat for the first
prize this year. Callendar tells me
it is already in the bag; that, of
course, time will tell.
Coy Fisher, the boy that pinch
hits for nearly everyone in the
Machine Room at various times,
met with an accident a few days
left us, and is now with the In
spection Department. We all miss
Bill and hope he makes them as
good a worker as he did in
Champagne.
Helen N. has sure had the blues
this week, as her heart-throb has
been on evenings. . Cheer up,
Helen; he will soon have five
days off!
gp ipng, wntil Octoljer,
ago, but at this writing is report
ed to be getting along nicely. Coy
was recently elected to be our
president in the Five Year Ser
vice Club. He is at Biltmore hos
pital in Asheville.
Welcome back, Bert Neal, from
the army. You will find the
Machine Room the same as when
you left,—our motto the same—
“get it all from wall to wall”—all
responding as always, like thor
oughbreds to reach this goal.
Oliver Vallaincourt is on his va
cation. He was all smiles when he
left,—told me his brother was to
be ordained as a priest, and his
older sister was to wed.
Rick Orr, our baseball star,
has finally thrown in the sponge;
the flue got him down, but he is
much better, and expects to be
back with us soon.
This, I believe, is the first
news I have had with no deaths,
no births, no marriages,—but I
have been informed by several
that there will be some little
bundles from heaven in the space
next month, so, until then.
So long.
HUMOR
One youngster watching an
other swimming about in a pool.
The swimmer was wonderful and
filled the onlooker with admira
tion.
“You swim like a fish,” he said.
“Better,” said the swinuner, “I
can $w)H) 0n my back."
Chemical Lab. News
By THELMA GLAZENER
It’s time for the old knitting
needles to start clicking, or
should they have already start
ed? Anyway, the mornings give
with winter.
Congratulations and best wishes
to “Punchy” and Gloria, who have
returned from their honeymoon
in New York City.
The Lab. seems to be normal
(or is it abnormal?) “Rick” is
with us again.
Ralph Waldrop is to be our
new Control Supervisor. “D”
Shift says “Welcome.”
Jean Klykendall spent her va
cation in Asheville.
WANTED: One more week of
vacation. “Richie” Robinson spent
two weeks “exploring” the east
ern part of North Carolina. One
thing wrong—time factor.
Gus Grose answered the old
school bell—good luck at Wake
Forest, Gus.
Speaking of school and decis
ions — ask Raymond Nicholson
about both.
Rare treat—Marietta Rozier and
Ted Mull discussing their ap
pendix operations. Glad you’re
both up and about again.
The gleam in Edith Stiles’ face
isn’t for nothing. She’s a mem
ber of the Ecusta Square Dance
Team, and our congratulations
for winning first place in Can
ton.
By the way, we found our dog
Pilot Plant Newt
By HARRY S. KOLMAN
It gives us a wonderful feeling
of security to know that we can
depend on our company to do the
right thing by us at all times.
We welcome back to the Pilot
Plant Sam T. Nicholson, who has
been in Pearl Harbor for the past
three years.
We were all pleasantly surprised
to learn of the marriage of Gloria
Fuller to Bruce Pettit, which took
place in Greenville, S. C., on Au
gust 19. You both have our best
wishes for all the happiness you
deserve.
Richard Moore is back from his
honeymoon and looking fine. We
wish you and Mamie the best of
luck and happiness, Dick.
David Sams has returned to
Wake Forest, and Warren Hooper
is attending W. C. T. C. Our best
wishes to both of you.
U. G. Batson opened the hunt
ing season with a bag of four squir
rels. Good going, U. G. Can you
match that, Frank?
Roy Brown recently celebrated
a birthday. Was the water cold,
Roy?
We are glad to hear that Ulysses
(Bill) Bell has finally moved into
his new house. Lots of luck. Bill.
Hotel Clerk: “Did you take a
bath?”
Mountaineer: “Hell, no! Is there
one missing?”
