page Four gEW IT SEAMS DECEMBER ISSUE AMBLING THROUGH THE DEPARTMENTS ^ ^ Cutting at Sherrod By Carol Penn Welborn Well, here we are at Christmas time and everything is going with a bang. All the .cutting room drew names and while the feeling is high, it seems everybody is brote (the way they talk.) The bowling league is now in full swing and while the White team is leading, they’ie having a wild battle. According to Capt. Frank Stonat, you need five good bowlers, an adding machine and a Philadel phia lawyer to come out on top. Here are a few names that have come along while bowling. First, there is Tommie Kemp, Harmon (how much do you want to bet?) Leamon, Frank (Loftie) Stonat, Bill (Wild Man follow me), Bur rows and Carroll (Striker) Wel born. Not one in the gang can beat a dummy. But we have fun and off go our hats to Anna McKinney and the company for making it all pos sible. One other thing, some of you folks thing you’re too old to bowl, but when you hear train whistles being blown by Harold Brackett each time he throws the ball, and see the effort put out by Paul Frye, then you know you’re not too old. J. W. Parker took a deer hunt up in the hills of Virginia. Too bad he got a ‘cold instead of a deer. Didn’t even see one. John Cohen Mostly Angela Hunt Spencer is getting tired of living in town and is looking for a farm. Good luck, John, there’s nothing like it. Boys, you better stay out of Bill Burrows’ red roadster. So says Wes Hill. They went to town and ran three red lights, made two left turns in the wrong lane and just missed a cement mixer. How they got back, he doesn’t know, but they made it. Frosty, our boss, went to Balti more last week. He wouldn’t say what for. But maybe he’s looking for a maid for his house trailer. Good idea, anyhow. Welcome to the cutting room, Dallas Crouch. Here’s hoping you like it. Well, here’s wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. There’s lots of places to go and lots to be done, so take it easy and be here next year!

Annie Hughes’ daughter, Pat, has been having a busy schedule since Christmas holidays are near. If you saw the Christmas parades in High Point or Greensboro and happened to ■ see a cute little brunette major ette marching with the James town High School band, that was Pat Hughes! Doia Byerly would like to thank the girls responsible for her birthday dinner and gift. Boy, take it from me, Mrs. Pierce really can bake a delicious cake, ’cause I sampled it. The same for Louise Hale, who baked Betty Wright’s birthday cake. We have some mighty good cooks in the Shirt Department. Well, now, Wfe have a special request from our sleevers, Jes sie, Annie and Lystra, to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Bertha Ferguson is still a lover of bowling. She took top honors in the Turkey Trot recent ly and walked off with first prize at the local bowling alley. Keep up the good work, Bert. And now, from all of us to all of you, we want to say we hope this Christmas will be the best ever and the coming New Year hold everything good in store for you. IT'S POSSIBLE! America stands on the thres hold of a new power age—and by 1975 it is possible that much of our routine work will be done by electronic robots. There may be small robots to cook and wash in the home; cross-country con veyor belts, electronically moni tored highways where motorists ■ can set an automatic pilot and enjoy a nap while crusing along. Impossible? That’s what skep tics were saying only 25 years ago about transoceanic passenger flights, TV and miracle drugs like penicillin! Slogan of a diaper service in Chicago; “Rocka Dry Baby.”
