This 4th of July was no excep
tion in that we, with our families,
thoroughly enjoyed the activities at
Camp Sapphire. The announce
ment by Mr. Straus of the bonus
was good news to everyone.
If we only had the luck of
some people! Eunice Waldrop
won the refrigerator given away
by the Lions club. Also, we un
derstand that at least one member
of the office force will have the
privilege of riding in the new Ply
mouth. Right, Gaynard?
Best wishes and lots of luck
and happiness to Vera Allison who
was married to Roscoe Garris in
the Trinity Methodist church in
York, S. C., on July 12. After
short honeymoon at Myrtle Beach
the couple returned to Henderson
ville.

Margaret Collier reports a most
wonderful time at the beach 4th

Mary Ruth Johnson and Louise
Byers brought their young sons by
the office, and now we understand
why Bob and Harry boast so much.
We are glad that Charlie Glass
is feeling well and can be with us
again.
Again this month there are many

go anywhere.
Others having vacations this

After all the excitement of the
Fourth everyone on the Third
Shift seems to be getting back
down to the old routine.
We were sorry to lose Frosty
Johnson from our shift after a
faithful year and one-half’s work.
Someone says she’ll be back with
us soon though.
We’re glad to see all those new
faces on our shift, especially Pol
ly Osteen. She always has a smile.
We’re also proud of our nice
new locker rooms.
Nita, we heard you like to ride
the electric cars but why do you
always want to ride by yourself?
Did anyone see Willoree Wilson
riding the merry-go-round at the
carnival. She seemed to be having
a swell time.
We’re expecting Faye Martin to
be wearing the other part to that
new sparkler any time now.
Carl Morris feels lost without a
ladder but maybe we can find some
other amusement for the old boy
sometime.
