DEPARTMENTAL NEWS
PAPER DIVISION
CHAMPAGNE MACHINE SHOP
We wish to introduce to
the readers of the "Echo”,
Dee Landreth who will hence
forth be reporting and pos
sibly making the news for
this column. Dee is a local
Transylvania boy with strict
ly local hobbies, hunting, fish
ing and baseball. We make no mistake in stating
that Dee will make his own news from time to
time. With the approach of hunting season we
shall look forward to some great hunting stories
backed up with evidence of coon, bear, and deer
meat on the table.
Dee can be located most anywhere in Cham
pagne Division, repairing and maintaining our
machinery. Like the old dependable fireman, he
is on the job whenever trouble appears, if not be
fore. Away from the job, when he isn’t hunting
or fishing, one is apt to find him playing inter
departmental baseball. He usually picks a winning
team to play with, the Cardinals, which in this
season won 8 out of 12 games, and took the first
game of the playoff.
With the weather turning chilly and cool, the
Champagne Machine Shop is planning for their
last outdoor picnic of the year.
Kathleen, 13 year old daughter of Fernando
Jones of the Champagne Machine Shop, is shown
holding the certificate for a television set that she
won recently in a contest in the Hendersonville
Times-News. With her are her two brothers,
Doran 6, and Lionell, 9.

REFINING
By Jack Rhodes
Recent vacationers in Re
fining have been Mays Wal
drop, W. C. McClung and
W. B. Kilpatrick.
Shorty McClung was go
ing to lay around and see if
he could beat somebody out
of a new motor cycle.
Burgin Kilpatrick took his vacation so that he
could be at home with his son. Darns, who is
home on leave from the U. S. Navy. They en
joyed a nice trip through the Smokies and to oth
er points of interest.
"Speedy” Jones is on vacation, too. Gone to the
capitol, Washington, D. C. Guess he figured he
would give the President a hand. (Wonder why
Stroup didn’t go.)
Guy Emerson and family took a trip to Chatta
nooga to see his brother. Went through Copper
Hill and reported a nice time being a tourist.
Glover Jackson has stepped out in a new 1951
Pontiac. Cat Rhodes has bought a ’48 Ford and
Ed Brackett bought a ’48 Plymouth.
Willie Riddle of "A” Shift has moved into his
recently purchased home at Etowah.
Clifford Gillespie and Bill Bentley caught an
opossum on the loading platform the other night
and Bill took it home to train his pup on. Need
less to say, the possum lasted about one bite.
Well, baseball season is just about over and it
is still anybody’s guess who will be in the Series.
See that Tom McCall wound up the season at
Macon, Ga., with a record of 12 wins against 6
losses for a .667 percentage. Nice going, Tom.
Bowling season is just about to get underway.
For a good evening’s entertainment and relaxa
tion, go over and boost the team representing your
department. Better still, join a team and partici
pate. It’s good exercise.
See by the Safety Board that the safe days record
was broken at over 2,345,000 hours. That is a nice
record and one to be proud of. Let’s all try to set
another record higher.
