'D" SHIFT COATING
By Nathan Reed
The cost of living sure has
gone up recently — Whew!
Ten cents an ounce for fish
and you still have to catch
them? City fish markets
should really make money
now — selling the ones that
didn’t get away to take home
and show.
One of our cohorts was telling of an expedition
recently. He said it was one time he was praying
he wouldn’t catch a big one, and, if he did, he was
going to throw rod, reel and all back. He said he
could buy new tackle much cheaper than he could
pay for a fish.
Harry Jones and I are going to have to get to
gether one of these first times and collaborate a
little. I still believe he helped himself along when
he stayed on the relief job so long.
Since the last writing Harry Laughter spent one
week of graveyard on vacation.
By request the following is printed—as the say
ing goes—as a public service presentation;
D Shift is trying to cut the cost of clothing for
a prospective highway patrolman from this shift.
Immediately upon hearing of his plan, fellow em
ployees started making his uniform with an eye to
efficiency and economy. At last hearing they had
completed a dual purpose head gear and had start
ed on other articles of clothing.
Joe Barnette, one of our newer men, is planning
to enter another state soon—the State of matri
mony. His present plans for getting "hitched” call
for a ceremony on May 14. Congrats, Joe. May
you have many, many years of marital bliss.
Ed Morley recently spent a vacation at Daytona
Beach, Florida. His vacation coincided very nice
ly with the Mrs. America contest at Ellimor
Village.

Well, now that fishing is
well under way, I guess there
have been quite a few big
ones that got away. At any
rate, we haven’t heard of any
large ones caught. In fact, the
largest report so far was
about the 500 caught by Jim
Allison, (but he had to buy them). Johnny
(Muscks) Harris has told of catching quite a
few in number but never had anything to say
about size.
Those having official vacations during the past
month are as follows; C. B. Lyday, W. E. Rahn
Above are Robert and Sharon Morley, son and
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Morley of Bre
vard. Robert is 8 years old and Sharon is 16,
Sharon has appeared on several T. V. Programs in
Buffalo, N. Y., where the Morleys lived before
moving to Brevard. Ed is in Film Coating.
C. E. Chapman, J. W. Crary, J. C. Akins, H. D.
Carr and last but not least—old golf-playing G.
R. Sexton. We don’t know what the others did
outstanding while on vacation, but George at least
got his picture in the paper. Also, we don’t want
to forget the crate of oranges J. C. sent us.
We hope "Buck” Roberts will be returning to
work soon. He has been on Leave of Absence for
the past month.
It seems that Gaston Siniard was the only father
passing out cigars this past month.
We would like to express our sympathy to Fred
Brown and his family for the loss of his brother
this past month.
FILM OFFICE

Florida’s attractions must be greater than ever
this year, because that is where everyone wants to
spend their vacation. Anne Aikens and Guyma
Fenwick each spent a week there last month and
are sporting sun tans to prove it.
Bobby Black mounted his black and golden
steed and also rode southward in search of a "dark
skinned blonde”.
Helen Jo Manley was left holding the bag—
mail bag that is—while Bobby was away. After
all, "the mail must go through.”
If anyone needs any spring painting done, just
call on Bill Alexander. Bill spent his vacation
painting his house and it really looks nice.
We are glad to have Allie Marie Sentelle with
us. She replaced Annette Tinsley Turner who left
the Stenographic Pool last month.
April birthday wishes go to T. R. Mitchell and
G. C. Yehling.
