L Page Four THE CAROMOUNT NEWS July, 1947 Missing Shuttle Loom 129 in the weaveshed cut off the other day while Raleigh Evans, the weaver, was working on the other loom. When he turned around to find the trouble, he discovered that one of his shut tles was gone. After much hunt ing with no success, Raleigh call ed Russell Joyner, the fixer, and together they made an extensive search under the loom and weav er’s bench, in the filling and waste boxes and under the adjoining looms belonging to Miss Lessie Bowden and J. C. Pridgen; but the shuttle was not to be found. Herbert Clark, drawing ends nearby, was grinning like a Chesh ire cat as usual and Evans thought for a while that he had hidden the shuttle; but a thorough search soon convinced him that Herbert was not guilty. As the search continued Ra leigh remembered that Richard Lewis, loom cleaner, had just taken up trash and thinking that his shuttle might possibly have been in it, he dumped the trash box and gave it a good going over, but no shuttle was there. Raleigh was becoming more and more discouraged and after looking everywhere he could think of and almost stopping the second shift, he finally spied his shuttle nestled comfortably under the drop wire cover on the very next loom. Evans was the picture of despair! Fishing Trip Worley Edwards, Ira Raper, Crow Davis, John Raper, Jim Speight, and Randolph Sutton made a fishing trip to Cone Point recently. Due to rain very little fishing was done, but they said they had a good time anyway. Worley drove his new Chevrolet, but they would not let him drive back. The sea air had made him light-headed.

Cafeteria News In an interview with E. H. Suessmuth, resident manager, con cerning the maintenance of the cafeteria, he said he was very pleased with the cooperation the management has received from the employees. Suessmuth also stated that he would appreciate the con- tiuation of the wholehearted sup port of the employees, in doing their part to help to maintain the present high Sanitary rating. He especially commended the em ployees on their use of the avail able bottle rack and waste paper cans in helping to keep the tables cleared. This greatly aids the maintenance of the neat appear ance of the cafeteria. Speed Demons During vacation week brank Shelton and Worley Edwards took their families to Portsmouth for a few days.' They both left Rocky Mount about the same time and a race soon developed. He passed Frank and stayed in the lead (he thought) all the rest of the way; but when he got to Portsmouth, there sat Frank parked on the side of the street waiting for him. Worley couldn’t figure that out, and Frank told him that he passed him so fast that he did not see him. The truth was that Frank had turned off on a short cut. In an effort to solve the in creasing demand for cold drinks, the cafeteria has recently installed two new electric drink boxes. The boxes have a capacity of forty crates each, and have replaced the old twenty-five crate capacity boxes. Ernest Taylor, manager of the Cafeteria, said, “It affords us great pleasure to make this much needed installation, and it is the desire of the Cafeteria staff to have cold drinks at all times in the future.” Raw Goods and Mending Mrs. Ethel Wallace and fam ily spent their vacation at Carolina Beach having fun and getting blistered.
