We all welcome Mr. Hanes as our new Presi
dent. If anyone can fill the place of Mr. Straus, it
surely is Mr. Hanes. Let’s all give him our support
and help make his new undertaking a pleasant
one.
Charlie Cox’s son Terry, underwent an operation
at the Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem several
days ago. At present he is getting along nicely.
We extend our sympathy to Carolyn Ashworth in
the death of her father.
Seems "Bob” McCall knows just when to plan
his vacation. At least he vacationed in Florida, the
same time as President Truman.
Spring must be close at hand to hear the noise
of the garden tractors. David Surrette can add his
name to the list of those who are already plowing
the mechanical way. Also Stella Seay has a hand
in the making of a garden out her way. She re
ports Clyde has a garden tractor too. No doubt
from time to time the tractors need repairs. It has
been suggested for anyone in need of service to
see "Sertty” on "C” Shift. He seems to have his
own methods, and to finish the job he gives the
tractor a bath in a creek nearby.
Bobbie Martin seems to be giving the girls in
Finishing a rush. Is the latest "crush” one of the
cute blondes or is she a redhead?
John Price tells one that’s hard to believe, but
John says it’s true so it must be. Says he was on
his way to work the other day, when he saw a
real live fish in the highway. He caught it and put
it in a stream nearby. John doesn’t want Willie to
know about it for he’ll spend the summer fishing
for it.
Kenneth McDarish is now in the process of
building a new home.
If anybody wants the lowdown on Pearl Mull’s
latest roinance, ask the boys on "A” Shift. From
their reports her interests are down Horseshoe
way.
Guess the boys will soon return from Iowa. We
know they’ll all be glad to get back home. Boys
come back and visit us.
Tom Bryson and Ray Byrd are going to start
the summer off right with a fishing trip next
week. If Tom can fry fish with the same art as he
does chicken, we know they’ll have some good
eating.
The happy little fellow is Robert Vernon Tay
lor, Jr., son of Mr. and Airs. Robert Taylor. His
father is employed on "C” Shift in Inspection.
FILTER PLANT
By Fred E. Floyd
Well, another month has
rolled around, and believe you
me, news is hard to dig up.
Baseball season is here
again, and P. B. York is our
man from the Filter Plant.
He made a nice hit in a
game the other day — a line
drive to the catcher.
Richard Kuykendall has been muttering to him
self for several days these words: "The herd MUST
get over the border”. Upon investigation we find
that he has one of those you-know-what sets in
his home. Hi-Ho Jumpalong Rogers.
Larry Dixon wants to go snipe hunting. Any
body got an extra "toe-sack”?
Has anyone heard from "Love Pine Farm” late
ly.^ That’s Carl Cantrell’s spread, you know. He
has planned to put in several acres of corn flakes
this year. His land is sorta hilly tho—he sets out
his sweet potato slips with a shotgun.
Craig Sharpe likes his pipe much better, now
that he smokes tobacco in it. However, he says
that oak leaves is pretty good to break one in.
We welcome Carl Enloe to our ranks as assist
ant operator. He works with Fritz Waldrop.
Golf is supposed to have originated in Scotland.
Hunlay Mehaffey doesn’t think so. He can’t see a
Scotchman hitting a seventy-five cent golf ball
out of sight.
Then there’s the one about the Scotchman who
betrayed his race—he perspired FREELY.
