INSPECTION
By Holland Corn
Well we are back from a
nice vacation and in time for
another report for The Echo.
The boys and girls on ”C”
Shift really had a nice time
on a chicken fry or chicken
supper the other nite at Camp
Straus. Several of the boys
have been wondering why Orville Long was so
poor and skinny, but they found out at the chicken
supper. He eats so much it makes him poor to
carry it. We had several visitors along with the
boys. They were: Lee Bauer, Bob Matthews, Ray
Hooper, Ben Blackwell, Sr., Ben Blackwell, Jr.,
Ollie Mae Wood, Mr. and Mrs. Millard Teague,
Mrs. Charlie Cox.
(Oh, yes! I was there too!) I really enjoyed
that good chicken. Of course, I am just one of
the boys, you see, I belong to all the shifts and I
get to go to a lot of parties too. The regular Shift
workers who were there are: Ralph Smith, Ver-
lon Wood, Ned Medford, oh yes, Mrs. Ned Med
ford was there too (keeping check on Ned),
Charlie Cox, Harry Hogsed, Lynn Pressley (The
peddler), James Hoots, Walter Hutchins, Earl
Groves, William Neil, Clifford McCall, Orville
Long, Robert Taylor, Robert Fox, Russell Mason,
John Dyer, James McCormick, Celia Boyd, Hazel
Arrowood, Bob Marshall, Mary Sue Jennings, Eu
gene Stewart, and Braxton Long (a visitor). I
believe everybody had a real nice time.
We are sorry to hear of Tom Bryson being in
the hospital and also of Ralph Waldrop. We
hope for both of you a speedy recovery and you
will be back with us very soon.
Ralph Smith reports a very speedy horse he
once had. He made a trip from Glouster to Bre
vard (that is 21 miles) in 25 minutes. No doubt
the horse and rider had a shot of Hadacol or
something before leaving. This story might be
in competition with Lawrence Whitmire’s and
Russell Mason’s snake stories.
Some of the boys on "C” Shift are wondering if
Lawrence Whitmire will attend the Convention
at Chicago since he has purchased a new Chevie.
"C” Shift regrets the loss of Dewitt Hill and
James Hoots to ”B” Shift—although "C” Shift’s
loss is "B” Shifts gain.
Mary Sue Jennings Marshall slipped one over
on us by secretly joining matrimonially to Bob
Marshall. Congratulations from all of us.
W'^e are sorry to learn of the death of Connard
Stewart, brother of Eugene Stewart of the Con
trol Department. Connard Stewart was killed in
an auto accident on July 11, near Nashville, Tenn.
Charlie Cox reports that his father lost approx
imately six thousand dollars worth of live stock,
grain and farm implements by fire that was started
when lightning struck his barn.
