’K" SHIFT COATING
By Lonnie Jones
The past month we had
three men to take their va
cation. Gordon Hollinsworth
spent two weeks in Florida.
He reported a very nice trip,
and the weather was fine—
not too hot. Lewis McCrary
just returned from his vaca
tion but he won’t talk. Melvin Atkinson and
family are spending two weeks in South Carolina
with relatives.
David Garren told me that fishing has fallen
off quite a bit in the last month or so. He said
he could hardly catch enough for his own use let
alone any one else. At the first of the season David
was catching so many that he was keeping his
neighbors supplied with fish.
When you see Monroe McCall don’t get worried
if he doesn’t talk too much. He hasn’t been feel
ing too well since his red birds slipped out of
first place. We want to take this opportunity to
welcome Ace back to "A” Shift.

Jim Shook is in business,
keeping dogs for anyone on
vacation. Well, maybe not
just anyone, but especially
those with problem dogs that
require experienced handling.
He is said to be well posted
on the subject.
Thad Newman has been very successful in his
bee keeping. Joe and Knuck enjoyed getting
samples of the honey. Jim Fisher wanted to get
on the band wagon with Thad, so he purchased
a box full of the noisy little insects. The swelling
has gone down enough so that he can see again.
He has returned the honey market to Thad.
Kenmore said that he didn’t think it was funny
when he took soap powder by mistake. He only
laughed because the bubbles tickled his throat.
Bill Nicholson is the most proud fellow around
lately. And who wouldn’t be, with a bouncing set
of new twins.. Congratulations, Bill!
"D" SHIFT COATING

A number from D Shift
have enjoyed vacations since
last month.
Carrol Bahnsen spent his
vacation on a trip to Clinton,
Iowa; but other than visiting
the old home town, I don’t
know what his plans were.
I have visions of liesurely days spent lolling on
the great Mississippi.
Coy Corn and Dewey Corn have also enjoyed a
week each.
Ed Morley left on the day I am writing this and
the best I could ascertain he was really headed for
"furrin” parts. He planned to visit Buffalo, N. Y.,
and Canada, both of which are furrin’ countries
like Texas—I think.
We all enjoyed having David Sams with us
while Ed was on vacation.
A Civilian Defense official, drawing up plans
for billeting space in his city in case of a bomb
attack, asked the pastor of a large church how
many persons could sleep in the church building.
"I don’t know,” replied the pastor, "but we sleep
1,400 every Sunday morning.”
Patricia Ann 0’Kelly, 12 year old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Van 0’Kelly of the Film Division. She
is a 7th grade student and is taking piano lessons
from Mrs. George Yehling.
There were seven English expeditions to Roa
noke Island during the attempted colonization.
The first was in 1584 and the last was in 1591-
It was in the latter year that John White returned
to Roanoke Island and discovered no trace of the
colonists who had been left there.
