DEPARTMENTAL NEW5
CELLOPHANE DIVISION
SALES OFFICE
By Kay Keenan
Few new faces here lately, Marie Flavin and Ma
rie Langellotti in Customer Service Department,
and Gloria Wright in the Sales Promotion De
partment.
Ellen DeOrazio and Mary Jane Niles off to
Washington for a weekend of sightseeing in that
town.
Ollie Niehouse is back from the Coast after al
most a month out there on business.
Lila Ehrenbard, too is back. From a six weeks
trip to Europe — for pleasure, not business.
Grace Tiernan can talk about nothing lately
except that new nephew. She’s surprised though
— says he looks like all the other babies!
Susan Knight Hooper is the new young lady
staying out in Orange, New Jersey. She’s the
daughter of Mr- and Mrs. Robert R.
Many of the people up here are discussing the
pros and cons of bowling. Monday night is the
time we retire to the alleys and Joe Mertes came
along one night to show the group "how it’s
done”. Oh, and did he hit those pins! He’s too
much competition for us, who just roll the ball
down and hope for the best.
FISHERMAN’S LUCK
A fisherman in New Bedford, Mass, ate a
$100.00 meal that consisted of one fish. It was a
16-inch yellow perch. When a sportsmen’s mag
azine heard about the catch, the editor suggested
that, if registered, the perch qualified the fisher
man for a $100.00 prize. But, by that time, the
fisherman had eaten the fish!
More young Americans graduate from college
today than finished high school 50 years ago.
Then, almost eleven percent of our people couldn’t
read or write; today illiteracy has almost disap
peared, and 50 percent of our boys and girls grad
uate from high school.
Mocking birds and cardinals have been moving
north in increasing numbers during the last 20
years. The reason: crowded living condition for
birds in the South.
Small girls are shrewder than boys when it
comes to avoiding trouble, according to research
ers at the University of California. They say four-
year-old girls will tell fibs to escape punishment,
while boys don’t develop the habit until they are
six-
'C' SHIFT CHEMICAL BUILDING
By Max McCracken
After a long period of not
writing, I have finally gotten
together some news and will
try to put it down by the
months that I missed.
January: Nothing h a p-
pened of any importance.
(Nothing that was important
enough to cause me to remember it, that is.)
February: Arthur Kimsey bought himself a new
car. He bought a Ford, of course-
Claude Nicholson left us for the Army. Uncle
Sam said that he could use him better than we
could.
Junior Fisher took his vacation this month. He
told me he just sat around home.
March: Now that was the month. First I had
to pay my taxes. Next, the old cow went dry.
Colan Goforth is on a leave of absence due to
sickness. We hope to have him back with us soon.
I traded cars again. Another bargain, as usual.
"C” Shift had a chicken fry at Camp Straus the
last five days they were off. Clannie McGaha did
the Chef work. Following chow we had a hot
basketball game. Seemed like everyone had a
good time.
Leland Thomas started as a first operator Wed
nesday night in the Chemical Building. Glad to
have you back with us.
Bulletin: Colan Goforth has now recovered
from his illness and has returned to work.
Gordon Leslie bought himself a bucket of bolts
the other day- He says that he also needs a fuel
pump, etc. To make a long story short, he needs a
new truck.
Fain Brook took his vacation this week. He
planned to go to Florida to spend a few days. I
guess old "Rocky” Brook has gone down for a
little training.
In closing, I should like to state that if you don’t
understand what I have written, please don’t gripe.
While reading the evening paper, Kenkins spied
an interesting item and called to his wife, "Listen
to this, honey . . . 'Alexander Jones, well-known
naturalist, slipped over a Rocky Mountain preci
pice yesterday while reaching for a wild flower.
As he fell, he gathered momentum’ . . .”
‘'What an enthusiast he must have been,” the
wife interrupted sadly. "Imagine, picking flowers
even as he fell.”—Tracks.
