“B” Shift
By BUVEE CAPPS
Our story for this month is as
follows: L. V. Neill’s brother killed
a big hog. We noticed that L. V.
came carrying his lunch in to work
that afternoon. After “stomping”
and “sweating” through the
"chow” line when the wagon came,
L. V. sits down and starts eating,
then he remembers the nice fresh
pork that he brought with him.
What L. V. said at forgetting his
lunch won’t do for publication.
Cigars again—this time David
Surette is the papa of a son. Con
gratulations.
Wonder how Burless gets his
hands so dirty. Probably second
childhood days have come.
Raleigh had some repair work
done on his car. Now he says, “fill
’er up” on gas instead of oil.
At this writing D. L. is on va
cation, we’ll tell all the details
later.
William Young said he was still
a single man, without a hope of
any other way. O. K., girls, here is
a “Little Abner.”
Red Cagle really gets “up in the
air” when he misses his pie.
Claud G. has been wondering
about the new Inspection build
ing—where his office will be.
Probably he will occupy Bob’s
chair while on “graveyard.”
Juanita says she can’t possibly
wait ’til Friday. We wonder what
the excitement is.
Since this is all the news 1 can
possibly scrape up. I’ll say, “So
long” for this time. (Kilroy was
here).

Well, here we go again. Seems
like a lot of folks in our depart
ment have turned themselves
around and are taking vacations
and trips at the wrong time of
year. Mrs. Vassey is taking a
week’s vacation to spend Thanks
giving with her relatives in Dur
ham.
Paul Baker and Pete Norwood
are spending this week in Key
West, Fla. Seems as if another par
ty from Washington is there also.
Mr. and Mrs. Horace Hall are
going to South Georgia to bird
hunt next week. Hope you have a
lot of luck.
Bill Lyday has returned from
Foxboro, Mass., where he took a
short course in Foxboro meters.
He reports a good as well as prof
itable time in “Yankeeland.”
Foy Guice also took a course at
the Taylor Instrument company in
Rochester, N. Y. He also reports
a new insight on meters.
The housing shortage is not wor
rying John Jackson. He brought
himself a house then he proceed
ed to tear it down.
Clarence Allison is back from his
vacation. You can see him about
your persimmon beer.
Sam Kent dceided there wasn’t
any such thing as a gentleman
farmer so he returned to town.
From all reports, we who missed
the supper at the Sutton Creek
Teen-Club really missed some
thing. Maybe we can attend the
next one.
Bill Lowery is taking his vaca
tion this week. We hope to have
a report on it next month.
So—so long for now.

Santa is just around the comer
and the ole’ reporters had better
go slow on the gossip they have
heard since last month.
“What do you want for Christ
mas?” seems to be a very pop
ular question with everyone now.
Better watch out, they may be get
ting the information for your best
friend.
Now for a few facts of gossip as
they were told to me:
Dixie, how about you and Clara
giving us a couple of verses of
your latest song? Be sure and don’t
let the Christmas carols drown you
out.
Several of the girls have been
receiving nice letters from Lillie
Siniard, who is in Avon Park, Fla.,
with her parents. From all reports
she is having a swell time.
It seems that the girls have a
swell start in basketball this year.
They won their first game with
Enka on November 6th in the
Enka gym. Keep the/good work up,
girls, we’re all backin’ you!
L. C., what’s the speed limit
these days? You must have thought
you were running the O.C.B. ma
chine. Just go a little faster and
maybe they won’t see you go byl
We were all sorry to hear of the
death of Mr. Morris, Ann’s father.
Our deepest sympathy goes to Ann
and her family.
If you see a car coming on the
wrong side of the road, you’d bet
ter head for the cornfield. It will
probably be Evelyn. She seems to
be really interested in learning to
drive (or maybe it’s her teacher
she’s interested in?)
Betsy was out from woric a few
days dua to illnesi. Wa are glad

The people that have been los
ing sleep the last month or two,
Winget and Maney, seem to have
settled into the normal pattern of
living again now that the election,
Sadie Hawkins day and most of
the ball games are over.
We have two new arrivals this
month. A 7 1-2 lb. girl, Marquata
Marie, born to Mr. and Mrs. Gene
Corn November 2nd and an 8 34
lb. daughter, Brenda Sue, to Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Sitton November
5th.
Ada R., we are glad to see you
back at work and hear that your
daughter is much better.
George Bryson has been out of
work due to the illness of his
wife.
Hazel G., we miss you since you
left Ecusta to take up the career
of housekeeping.
Willa Faye B. and Betty S. are
vacationing in Florida. Be sure
you catch nothing but a suntan,
girls.
If you see that smile on Estelle’s
face and think maybe she has dis
covered a gold mine—it isn’t that
—she just bought a ’46 Chevrolet.
Our sympathy to our foreman,
Mr. Southerland, whose father
passed away recently.
Charles Colwell, we enjoyed
working with you as foreman
while Mr. Southerland was away!
to have you back with us, Betsy.
Sarah, what happened to you?
We haven’t heard a word from you
in some time?
So long, till Santa time.
