POWER DEPARTMENT
By Howell Medford
John Brown worked on his
new house while on his va
cation. He also has a new
barn. Since he is in the dairy
business this is very fitting.
He lives just across the river
from the Power Plant.
Dutch Bruner finished his
vacation. We haven’t seen or heard from him as of
yet. We suspect him of going to Frozen Creek.
We’ll know when he returns.
Chan Asbeworth had the pleasure of the last
vacation in the Turbine Room. He is spending his
vacation trying to beat Sam Kent on the fish
catch. Sam says it’s no use fellows, Chan says he
isn’t going down with his hands in his pockets.
Tom Bowen is the only fellow to report any luck
hunting. He has most of his luck catching ground
hogs. So far he has reported one.
Mrs. Emitt Reece is ill in the hospital. We hope
by now she is well and back home where we know
she desires to be.
Bob Duckworth, Foy Guice and Obie Willing
ham went fishing or gunning for Sam Kent. They
sighted great schools of bass. Obie and Guice, so
Bob says, jumped to the front of the boat and
went to casting. Of course Bob never had a China
man’s chance. The result is that Foy and Obie re
ported good catches. The plugs were flying so
fast all poor Bob could do was lie down to feep
from getting hooked in the head with a big plug.
Never, again says Bob.
Tom Evans has been out sick for a few days.
We hope he will soon be among the regulars on
duty again.
There has been lots of colds in our department.
I guess the change of season has brought about all
of this. We hope all the fellows will soon be able
bodied in a few days.
We now have all six of our boilers in operation
and still we can’t cope with the demand for steam.
Ecusta leased three large locomotives from the
Southern Railway. In a few days they will be
hooked up to our steam system to aid the situation.
It is hoped, by this means, we can be more able
to accommodate everyone concerned. We ask the
cooperation of everyone until we can get the nec
essary installations made. This is being done as
rapidly as possible.
OFFICE
By Frances Heath
The Cellophane Office welcomes Mr. Collisson
and his staff.
Mr. Pierce is on vacation in Virginia this week.
Mr. Atchison attended the "Materials Packag
ing and Handling Exposition” in Cleveland, Ohio
last week.
Mr. Ayres is attending the "National Safety
Congress” in Chicago.
Bill Woodward refused to tell us about his week
at Fontana, but from what we hear, he caught a
total of five fish, averaging five inches.
Everyone is enjoying the visitors from New
Haven, speaking of them, one is a 10:00 o’clock
scholar, and regardless of the time or place, he
always says a word for Texas.
We understand Bobby Jackson has the idea of
walking to Toxoway at least twice a week, that’s
a long walk Bobby.
It’s b-en said that all you have to do is approach
Bill Woodward with a book in your hand and he
screams "Go Way, I Ain’t Gonna Give No More
Blood”.
We’ve heard that Harry Kahn tried to race
with the State Trooper, it’s been tried before, one
man got five years.
Ted Deacon’s answer to the most used ques
tion "What’s the News” was, "A CHARMING
TIME WAS HAD BY ALL”, while Don Parker
still sticks to "I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING.”
It’s been said that some of the fellows from the
Ecusta Machine Room are taking their vacation
beginning October 15 th. We have all been ex
pecting Ruth to take her’s that week also, but for
some unknown reason she isn’t.
Lira’s general subject these days is her "NEW
SHOES”, with the rhythm step.
Supervision has questioned the fact that Sara
McCall has changed her vacation date
A1 Kriek’s two latest hobbies are collecting
waste and giving blood. We hear he is giving
the latter up.
Needless to say, we all miss Mr. Keating’s
friendly "Hello” on the second floor, although we
congratulate him on his recent promotion.
While on the subject of promotions, the Of
fice wishes to congratulate each of the following:
Messrs. E. L. Lynn, R. S. Heller, C. C. Johnson, W.
R. Athison, C. M. Bahnsen, P. W. Schlunz and
W. F. Huffman.
CELLOPHANE FOR EMPLOYEES
Employees who have not used their authoriza
tion slip to buy a package of reject cellophane
sheets, may do so now if they so desire. Even
though the slips are printed to be void on October
1st 1951, they will be honored until the present
supply is exhausted.
The Cafeteria still has a small supply that will
be on sale during the regular lunch hour. It will
be sold only to employees who have not already
purchased a package. The supply is not sufficient
to make duplicate sales at tihis time.
