CASTING
By Henry Heatherly
Everyone has had their ears
to the Radio or their eyes on
T. V. for the great World
Series. It was really six thrill
packed games and I know
that some of us won and some
lost. But that is the way it
is, everyone just can’t win.
Old Jack Frost has been coming around again
with some chilly mornings lately. Makes us all
feel like squirrel hunting. I am sure most of the
fellows from Casting will find time to do a little
hunting. Carl Watson and Buddy Hooper have
been bagging some nice ones.
Jim Fisher went squirrel hunting the other
night. He got some big ones.
Tom Cooper bought a dog. Said it’s getting too
cold to sleep in the dog house alone.
Anyone who loves to see a man eat, take notice
of Jug Brice. When he isn’t feeling well he eats
six eggs and three wheat cakes on gravy. I am
waiting to see the night he is feeling good.
I hear that there is a five dollar reward on "A”
shift for anyone that can top Ralph Morris at tell
ing stories.
Several of the fellows from our dept., have been
buying new cars. I hear that Rupert Gordon has
stepped out with a new Dodge, Ernest Rector with
a nev/ Mercury, and Hot Rod McCall has really
got a hot rod now, a twelve cylinder Lincoln. Said
he had to stop twice between Charlotte and Bre
vard to drain gas out of the tank. Wish I had one
like that.
Don Graves has really gone native since he left
Clinton. He has already built a nice new home in
Brevard and moved in. Nice going Don.
Day dreaming can be fun if you do it at home
or in a movie. But it can turn into a bad dream if
you do it on the job.
TRAINING INCREASES CONFIDENCE
Sports writers say you always can tell when a
man is fighting' his first few bouts. They say he
hesitates in his corner, glances down to his man
ager for encouragement, and nervously shuffles
his feet before the opening bell of the first round.
After this fighter has won a few bouts he doesn’t
act like the same man. His confident eyes are on
his opponent and his body is poised to leap for
ward the instant the hammer touches the gong.
While this increase in confidence comes from
winning, the ability to win is the result of care
ful training in a gym. This same principle applies
equally as well on the job as it does in the ring.
The more a co-v/orker increases his job knowledge
the greater is his confidence in himself and the
easier and more interesting his work at the job
becomes.
Shoivn above are the daughter and son of Mr.
and Mrs. Jessie Ashe of Penrose. At top is Susan,
4 years old, and below is Michael, 10 months old.
Their father is employed in Chemical and Casting.
BEYOND THIS DAY
One broken dream is not the end of dreaming;
One shattered hope is not the end of hoping;
Beyond the storm and struggle, stars are gleaming;
So build your castles, though your castles fall
Though many dreams come tumbling in disaster
And pain and anguish meet you down the years
Keep firm your face and dare your hopes to master,
And never feel that you have ceased to dream.

What is luxury? In Berlin, it may be a door
knob. In Italy it’s likely to be an unfrayed shirt, or
an electric light. In France it’s hot water and a
cake of soap. In England it can be any one of the
many things the Socialist government has decided
are "not essential”.
What about our country.^ You’d have to look
pretty hard to find an American who thinks that
a radio, or even an automatic refrigerator, is a
"luxury”. And only in the biggest cities is an auto
mobile even classed as such.
