"A“ SHIFT WHITE DEPARTMENT By Ann Rogers Now it’s December and we think of Christmas and of this old year swiftly moving out and a new year ready to come in. But how many of us think of Christmas as the birthday of Christ? As we cele brate this holiday let’s keep the true meaning in mind and I’m sure all of us will have a more won derful Christmas. We were sorry to loose Bettie Thompson and Johnny Boggs to Machine Booklet. We also lost Howard McCall to the Shipping Department. May be we’ll be lucky enough to get them back some day. Uyless Taylor found a deer at Standing Indian in Macon County. Some people have all the luck but, Uyless, you are supposed to divide! Fay L. seams lost without Betty Willingham. Betty has transferred to an office in Cellophane. We missed Jimmie Lee when she was in the hos pital. Everyone seems to admire her nerve! All of us are much happier now that we have a coke machine nearer the department. Thanks! Doris spent Thanksgiving with her relatives in Franklin and she plans to go again during the Christmas holidays. Charlie went rabbit hunting but he didn’t get one. The only thing he got was a sprained ankle! We hope it will soon be better, Charlie. Dot R. is eagerly waiting for her daughter, Shir ley, to come home for the holidays from Stephen College in Columbia, Missouri, where she is maj oring in art. We’ve put out the "Welcome Mat” for Jean Mc Call and Bert Cassell. They come to us via the Gray Department. George and Bert tell us that they are building new houses. Good luck, boys, and don’t mash too many fingers. Don, Terrell, Boyce, and Gene say they are going to do as little as possible during the holi days. Maybe they deserve a rest! Mildred’s husband, Johnny, is coming home from Virginia so she is going to meet him in Asheville and go Christmas shopping. No wonder she is excited! Willie and Jean plan to sleep and rest so they will have lots of pep and energy when they come back to work! Ambitious?! Barbara is sporting several new sweaters of pas tel colors! It seems as if this is going to be a new fad. Vivian is excited about Christmas gifts. I have the impression that she has been snooping! Merrill said Christmas isn’t like it used to be. He used to taxi down a snow covered runway in a plane just for fun! He must have tired of that and decided to settle down. Pvt. Joseph E. Crowe, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Crowe of Rosman, is in Military Police training at Camp Gordon, Ga. After training he will be stationed at Albuqnerque, New Mexico. Before entering service, he was employed in the Cafeteria, "B" SHIFT WHITE DEPARTMENT By Gertrude Summey Everyone seems to have enjoyed the Thanks giving holidays very much, some of us choose to stay home while others took trips to see relatives and friends. Mary H. spent the holiday with friends in Rock Hill, S. C., and Sydney C. with her parents in Hendersonville. We sure do miss the following persons, from our shift who were borrowed by Fine Paper; Clara Metcalf, Ada Taylor and Walter Burgess. Hope you will soon be back with us. Well, it looks like wedding bells are ringing again in the White Department. Clara Fisher be came Mrs. Forrest Alexander, November 26 in Pickins, S. C. and Geraldine Sevill will be married December 11 to Ralph McCurry of Asheville. Lillie G. celebrated a birthday and wedding an niversary during the long weekend. Don B. sure is all smiles now days. He brought in an 8-point, 115 lb. buck. Pvt. Elmo Crowe, cousin of Petty P., recently spent a 14 day furlough at his home in Rosman. Wayne Harmon of the Gray Department worked in J. B’s place recently. Roanell Bishop visited friends in Pine Level and Carolina Beach during her recent vacation. Ruth M. went to the Optimist Bowl game in Asheville Thanksgiving Day. In the average American home today, electricity does the work which would require the labor of 35 servants, each working a 40-hour week.
