Fine Paper News
By RACHEL HAMLIN and
MITCHELL TAYLOR
If anything hits you in the face
in this department as you are
passing through, don’t be alarm
ed. It’s probably just a “football,”
The air is full of passes, and it
seems that everyone in this de
partment already has the Sugar
Bowl teams lined up.
Those making the trip to the
Duke-Tennessee game from this
department were: Dot Gray, J. L.
Nicholson, Mitchell Taylor, Lewis
Alexander, and Harold Misen-
heimer. All of them were pleas
ed with the outcome of the game,
and look forward to making the
trip again next year.
The two vacationists from this
department were Edith Wright
and Willie Gash. The former took
a trip through the Smokies, while
Willie kept things quiet at Horse
Shoe.
Rachel Hamlin and Dot Gray
says that now is the time to take
a trip through the Smokies if you
want to see some beautiful
sights.
If you don’t think the “Florida
hurricanes” were something out
of this world, just ask Pete Dock-
ens. He certainly can relate plen
ty about them.
We are very sorry to hear about
the illness of Irene Staton’s
mother, and wish for her a
speedy recovery.
All the boys from our depart
ment enjoyed the All-Sports ban
quet at the cafeteria on Friday,
October 17th.

Gaston and Robert Owens attend
ed a decoration at Wolf Mountain
Cemetery in Jackson county Sep
tember 21.
Howard Watts and Fred Whit
mire are in the Transylvania Com
munity hospital recovering nice
ly from appendectomies.
Claude Brown and Gus Bagwell
had good luck on their hunt the
first of October, bagging one coon.
Fred Stroup celebrated his
birthday by dancing with the Ecu
sta square dance team at the N.
C. State-Davidson football game.
If the results of the game had not
been in the paper, we would have
never found out what the score
was.
Harvey Snyder and Glenn Emer
son spent their vacations working
on their houses. All that you can
do yourself sure helps when build
ing a house.
Borrowing a bucket of paint and
a couple of brushes, the boys sure
made things brighten up around
here by retouching all the metal
work around the platforms.
We are led to believe there is
no such word as fool-proof. We had
in use a photo-electric eye, and
while using this apparatus to count
bales, a bird flew through, caus
ing the counter to check one over.
As a closing word, don’t go by
the football predictions you see in
the paper. No one can foresee the
score in a game, and your guess
is as good as theirs.
Newsboy: “Extra! Extra! Read
all about it. Two men swindled.”
Passerby: “I’ll take one — Say,
there isn’t anything here about
two men being swindled.”
Newsboy: “Extra! Extra! Three
men swindled.”
