"A" SHIFT COATING

Congratulations to Wen
dell Austin on becoming a
native of Brevard. I see he
no longer comes to a full stop
before proceeding across
abandoned railroad sidings —
a mark of a true Brevardian.
Anyone interested in hunt
ing deer without the discomfort and expenditure
of time, see Jim Winget. He can stalk, shoot, kill,
dress and prepare one for eating in 14 minutes—
verbally of course.
Billie Blankenship says she "Ain’t done nothing
important” except break up with her boy friend
from Chapel Hill. Reason: "We can’t see eye to
eye”. Note to local interested bachelors: Now is
the time for all good men!
Onions to Paul Schlunz for not bringing any
bass back from Chatuge on a recent trip. Reason:
No comment.
Carroll Bahnsen, in response to what he has
done important, has no answer.
Joan McClure in response to same question:
"Professionally, no, socially yes.”
Alyea, Mills, Mertes and Jones declare that in
Clinton they never turned on their furnace until
the last of November and vow to do the same
down here—silly boys.
Wanted: Someone fleet enough of foot to beat
the Chemical Assistance boys to lunch. So far they
have managed to be "fustest with the mostest.”
A complete report on atomic submarines will
be given by Paul Frisk to anyone who successfully
passes his loyalty check.
Reports have arrived to show that Cleaves John
son has almost exhausted his allotted span of
batchlorhood—and he "was” such a nice fellow.
George Yehling and A1 Kriek are now taking
orders for custom built post holes. Anyone inter
ested should apply immediately.
Bruiser Brown and Don Hill are planning to
take tennis lessons from Ralph Heller—they can
learn a thing or three too, maybe no more broken
ankles for Don.
Orchids to E. L. Lynn on his new title of Qual
ity Control Manager.
I noticed Jack McCall eating lunch one week
every day with the five Tech. Section females. I
wonder which one he was interested in. Three
of them are married! Two to go.
Never before in all our experience has it been
possible to pick up $10 worth of groceries by the
string.
We believe someone should
tdl "Lonnie” Jones that he
doesn’t need a rifle when
hunting "grapes” and that
grapes seldom grow in those
hickory coves.
Melvin Atkinson needs a
stop rope on the 6th floor.
Sometimes Melvin finds himself on top of the
building trying to drop a rope.
Everyone is talking deer hunting these days,
but the only one we know of doing any "dear”
hunting is Louis McCrary, he seems to be having
good luck in Hendersonville.
The boys on "A” Shift fire crew say these fire
drills sure are rough. The chief was careful to tell
all of them not to forget to come in an hour early
on Friday for a drill. No one forgot. Everyone was
there but the chief, he forgot—what happened
"Ace”.?
Tom Hubbard says he wouldn’t advise anyone
to set the alarm clock to play a prank on your wife
when on graveyard. Tom says it’s cold standing
outside in the morning.
"B" SHIFT COATING
By D. S. Winchester
Here it is again, time for
Echo news and I know noth
ing to write about.
The best one I have heard
about in some time happened
to "Bud” Pettit a couple of
weeks ago. Henry Bell had
been after Bud to go bass
fishing with him so they made plans to go one
of the mornings we were off on one of our long
week-ends. Bud had his wife get up and have his
breakfast at 5:00 A. M. They were to leave at
5:30 A. M. Henry never came around. Bud waited
until 7:00 and started looking for Henry. All the
time Henry was over at Asheville working on his
car as it had broken down.
The fellows on this shift can fix up the most
back saving devices I have ever heard about. Here
is a little about one that works. Joe Norman tied
his wheelbarrow in front of his car and has been
hauling dirt from hill back of his house to fill in
a porch he intends to cement. He laughs and says
if anyone has any excavating to be done get in
touch with him.
The Football Season is now in full swing. Troy
Bryan is having a heck of a time getting fellows
lined up to trade shifts with him so he can take
in some good games. He has tickets for the Geor-
30
