CLINTON HIGHLIGHTS By Conley McKinnish Almost before you know it you’ll be able to hear the hum of the cellophane machine mixing in with the paper ma chines. To us that will be music to the ear. The training period at du- Pont has moved along very smoothly and successfully. We truly appreciate the way in which the Clinton cellophane employees have shown us the little tricks that make the wheels turn in a cellophane plant. The snow and ice are all gone—sun shining, birds singing, etc., and Cecil Whitmire’s talking about the Toxaway River. Lonnie Jones bought a glass fly rod and since that time has caught some of the biggest fish imaginable and hasn’t even left the hotel lobby. Elmer Baker and Joe Younghus^ band say they’re going to spend their vacation at Glenville. No doubt Bob Foster will be with Cecil Whit mire in the Horse Pasture and Toxaway River.. Yours truly has got some fox hunting to catch up with. Herbert Woodard, Ray and D. S. Winchester had their wives in Clinton recently. After their wives went home the boys took their respective places in the bachelors club. Gordon Hollingsworth claims to have more names tagged on him than anyone. The latest be ing Borden Hollingshead. Of course, we have grumbles and grunts from Rupert Gordon too. But he’ll admit he never had it better—three good meals per day and a good bed to sleep in. One of the duPont employees was asked why he was late for work. Said he has to follow one of those North Carolina cars out to work. Ruth Reid says she just loves to drive on ice and snow. Wonder why Willie Dockens can’t find a seat in the theater any more. She still has a strong imagination when there’s a skunk picture on. Rusty Carland on a recent trip home, teased the fellows for eight hundred miles on the way back with a lemon pie from the little woman’s oven. Ruth and J. T. Reid were in the Easter Pageant on TV and looked good. Willie Gash has to spend quite a lot of time in the Sheeting Department where there are mostly women, and has been wearing a bright yellow shirt lately. Agnes said she bought it for him so that he would be easy to see and keep track of. Willie Dockens got a little home sick at Easter time when she bought rabbits for her kids, but she went down to the hotel and played shuffle- REFINING By Jack Rhodes It is getting to be the time of year when young folks think of love. Older people think of baseball and gardens, and Charlie Russell begins to worry about his head getting sunburned. Speaking of baseball, I saw the Ecusta team work out against the College, and if I don’t miss my guess, we should see some good baseball this summer. Jimmie Sledge is back at work after a vacation and a nice trip to Atlanta, Ga. Walt Nicholson is probably planning a trip since he has stepped out in a new Chevrolet. Had a letter from Paul McCoy. Says he is still counting his money and "That’s his business”. John Ball, James Cox and Reuben Morgan have just taken vacations. Jack Wilber has returned after a trip to the mountains of West Virginia. As a parting item, anybody raising lettuce or celery for market should contact Fred Stroup. He is on that stuff and Cokes, since strawberry dopes went to six cents. "What would I get,” inquired the man who had just insured his property against fire, "if this build ing should burn down tonight?” "I should say,” replied the insurance agent, "about ten years.” TELEPHONE CHANGES J.

It is quite a sight every Monday afternoon to see Lewis Meece leading his six girls out to the Ecusta Office for the week visit. Our Sarge was trying to impress a class of re cruits on his physical prowess. He described the way he swam three times across a broad river be fore breakfast. Came a laugh from the rear, and his dignity was singed. "What’s so funny?” he demanded. "I was wondering,” said the rookie who replied, "why you didn’t make it four times and get back on the side where you left your clothes.” 23
