hospital. It's good to have them back. Looping Department: After two weeks of vacationing in New Mexico, Geneva Ellington (lucky girl) has returned to work. Kind of hard to get back in the old routine, wasn't it? Plant Seven Folding Department; It surely is good to see Kate Chapman back at work again. She's been out for about a year with a broken hip, but now has even dispos ed of her crutches. Kate says it's just wonderful to be back at her job and she expresses her appreciation for all of the many thoughtful acts of the employees of Adams-Millis which helped her through the months of confinement in the hospital and at home. She says that the cards, the flowers, the visits--all meant more than her words can express. Order Department: Welcome back to Barbara Hilton who has been out on leave. We're real glad to have her back. Boarding Department: Overheard from the boarders. . . "Hey, what happened to the boarding room news in the last issue of AMCO?" No comment, but will the person responsible please raise HIS hand? Good to know we were missed! . . . Jim Lewis calling "Slim" Boyles, "Hey, Boy!" Could it be one or the other is an ardent fan of "Have Gun, Will Travel"? . . . Ruth Fulton: "It don't show, but I've lost two pounds!" . . .Nannie Smith; "Sure will be nice when canning season is over!" We bet she and Nell Chapman are the champion bean pickers of Adams- Millis. Incidentally, has anyone else tasted the green peppers Nannie stuf fed with sauerkraut? Dee-lishous ! ! ! . . . Bertha Billings; "I'll be in'hock' the rest of my life! " She was talking about the lovely new home she and Joe are building on Dillon Road. . . Walter Voncannon; "G'morning, " at two o'clock in the afternoon? ? ? Can't explain that! ! !. . .Anonymous: "Sure wish that bird would be on his way. " They were speaking of the stork. We have five who are infanticipating, and it is rumored that there is a sixth! Shhh! Congratulations to all of you! We have had two birthday cele brations in the boarding room--one being Blanche Leonard who was sur prised with a cake and ice cream; and Bill Sink, who, we hope, was even more surprised. Among those who remained silent on their birthdays were Nell Chapman, Mildine Mc- Ca skill and Dot Halker. We know why Nell and Dot kept quiet, but, Mildine, you're not "39", are you? There were tears mingled with happiness when Inez Biggerstaff left Adams-Millis for a job closer to Greensboro, where she lives. . .the tears being for all the friends she had made in the boarding room dur ing the last ten years. . .the happi ness for the "real live ball" her fellow workers had for her. There was a scroll of "bathroom stationery" with the entire list of boarders' names, plus a few candid remarks she should remember for a long time. The last "sheet" contained a gift certificate. While the girls sang to her, Willie Young serenaded her with a harmonica solo. A "homemade" poem, written especially for the occasion, was read to her. What really "took the cake" was Inez baking her own cake for her farewell. We wish for her all the best!! Visiting the coast for a weekend of fishing were Lib and Bill Sink. Asked if he were going to have fish for the following Monday night, he came up with, "K we do, we'll have to buy them! " They caught a few little ones, but the big ones got away. Georgia Hunt and her husband (Cont'd.next page)
