Published each month by and for the employees of the Wilson and Car omount Divisions of Sidney Blumen- thal and Company, Inc. Devotional Thoughts He brought him to Jesus.— St. John 1:42. To those of us who are interest ed in our fellow men here are suggestions for helping them in opening the way to our largest achievements. At the same time our efforts may assist in leading another life to successes even greater than our own. Such was the case when Andrew found Simon Peter and brought him to Jesus. Some years ago a great Chris tian layman gave us this chal lenging theme, “Find them, fetch them, fix them”. Amongst life’s discoveries none offers a greater opportunity than the man who has lost his way because of sin. One by one, some one, must “find them”. Then, some one must “fetch them”. This effort tests the faith, courage, influence and love of the Christian. Soul winning calls for faith in the saving power of God and love for the souls of lost men. The art of leading the lost to safety zones needs to be cultivated bv every Christian. Then we must “fix them”. Like Andrew we must stick to rescue effort until our Avork is complete. We bring many people to Sunday School and Church, and then our efforts cease. If we would really honour God and help lost men, we must remember that our troph ies are never safe until we can say with the Psalmist: “My heart is fixed”. A Christian’s greatest achieve ment is in bringing a soul to Jesus. “They that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” (Dan. 12:3). Rev. J. W. Kincheloe, Pastor First Baptist Church CaromountOfficeNews Due to the sale of his city home, Ben Thomas was forced last week to move into his coun try home which is located about six miles from Rocky Mount in the vicinity of Nashville. He has all the conveniences of 1800, so he tells us. He manages very well without having his gas stove, water works, and steam heat, but he is having difficulty in trying to use his one kerosene lantern in the living room, bedroom, and kitchen all at the same time. More power to that kersosene lantern, and we wish Mr. Thomas luck in his new experience. Wahab Edwards is having trouble with his eyes lately. He had an appointment at Duke re cently for an examination but due to the icy condition of the roads, he v/as afraid to tackle the trip. We wish you better luck with your eyes, Wahab. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Taylor are in the market for an unfurn ished apartment with about three rooms and a bath. Anyone know ing the whereabouts of such, please let them know. (That will be 50 cents for that plug, please Ed.) Mrs. Rachel Land Harris who formerly worked in the laboratory and later was receptionist is now in Greensboro, N. C., with her husband. She had an operation recently which was very success ful. Several days ago Mrs. Mar garet Cockrell Lake went from Burlington to see Mrs. Harris and upon arriving Mrs. Lake found no one at home. Rachel is working now, so she seems to be getting along fine. Mrs. Mattie Griffin joined the Payroll Department the latter part of January. She is taking over the duties of Mrs. Margaret Cock rell Lake who left to join her husband in Burlington. We wish A^ou much happiness, Mattie, on vour ncAV job. /It Do you have trouble with stub born bureau drawers, or for that matter drawers in kitchen cabinets or any piece of furniture which contains drawers’ If so the following hints should preserve your temper and make the stuck drawer have a longer life. Your first move with a stuck drawer is to get it out so that you can find what the trouble is. If it won’t succumb to normal meth ods, you Avill save time by taking the back plate off the piece of furniture—^this is generally a piece of plywood held on by a few wire nails. Now you will be able to look in behind the drawer and see what gives. If the sticking is caused by the drawer having expanded, pressure on the back should force it out. Examine the drawer and you’ll find the tight spots that should be planed and sandecj^ down. Frequently the bottom of the drawer will drop a little at the front and catch against some of the internal wood work of the bureau or furniture. Pry the bottom up and slide the drawer out. Nail the bottom back securely using wire nails. Don’t try using too large size nails as they will almost certainly split the side of the drawer, and if possible, put the nails in a new location, not back in the same hole. More Space In Building (Continued from Page One) I don’t have to climb over and around boxes.” Mrs. Minnie Ellis stated: “It seems mighty fine. Noav you can see the other weav ers working at their loom once again.” 1. E. Raper said, “It real ly looks like a fine place now with plenty of room.” The Warping Department em ployees Avere very much pleased Av'itii more room for them. Mrs. Agnes Proctor stated: “The addi tional space is fine. It feels like we are out in the open and actual ly I believe it is Avarmer.” The Warping Department now opens into the neAV building since the dividing wall has been removed. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Dispatch Highlights Mrs. Viola Winstead’s birthday was celebrated Friday, February 21, 1947.
