THE CAROMOUNT HEWS
July, 1947
Wilson Employees
Busy During Lull
During the lay-offs Arnold
Webb engaged himself in paint
ing and carpentry for the Carolina
Home Builders. He managed to
slip away for a little fishing at the
big rock near Black Creek getting
11 perch o'n one trip. Naturally
that 21/2 pounder got away—hook,
line, and sinker . . . Horace Cot
ton, Raymond Daniel, and Frank
Cockrell have been in Wilson for
several days painting the Wilson
Plant . . . Marvin Langley began
his work at Wilson on July 9
learning to be an examiner. He
was formerly employed at Caro-
mount as a weaver learner. Mil
ford Ferrell, formerly an exami
ner, is now employed at the Ser
vice Laundry. Henry Earl Ses-
soms of Caromount has been help
ing with the examining at Wilson.
George Bradbury is now assist
ing with the painting of the Wil
son Plant. This is the question—
“Is George painting himself or the
wall?” Bradbury takes it all good
naturedly and states that he re
cently painted Cal Jones’ house;
and Cal adds “house and shrub
bery.”
Mrs. Rosa Lee Williamson
served temporarily as cashier in
Bissett’s Drug Store during the
recent lay-off.
Joe Godwin entered the service
station business recently, however,
he finally decided against this busi
ness and devoted his time to fish
ing at Wiggins Mill with a catch
so small that they were thrown
back in the river.
Charlie Ward did carpentry
work for a Wilson construction
company recently and spent his
leisure time at baseball games.
Miss Judy Bell, their niece, has
been with Mr. and Mrs. Ward
during the summer. On July 6,
Charlie Ward enjoyed a fishing
trip at Columbia, North Carolina,
where he caught 75 croakers. We
are taking his word for this re
port.
James Stansbury, former wea
ver, has been working as clerk at
the Briggs Hotel since the latter
part of June. He is being trained
for night clerk. Mr. Stansbury
was recently hospitalized at Duke
Hospital.
Bears were seen and fed by
many Caromount and Wilson
employees who toured west
ern North Carolina, Virginia,
and Tennessee on vacation.
This bear was photogi*aphed
by Mrs. Blanche Brantley in
the Smoky »Iountains of
Tennessee near Clingman’s
Dome. Mrs. Brantley is em
ployed in the Caromount
Mending Department.
Finishing Dept
Instead of having a vacation
themselves, Mrs. Eloise Collier
and Mrs. Annie Turner entertain
ed guests during the week.
Mrs. Myrtle Price and family
spent the vacation week with
friends in Charleston, South Caro
lina.
Mrs. Mattie Barnhill and Mrs.
Elsie Sugg spent their week quiet
ly at home.
Mrs. Rachel Carter visited
White Lake and came back with
quite a sunburn.
Others who went to the beaches
during the vacation week were:
Mrs. Myrtle Weaver, Mrs. Daisy
Edwards and Mrs. Dorothea
Barnes.
Ertie Edwards had a nice vaca
tion at Carolina Beach.
Reid Satterfield and his family
also made Carolina Beach their
headquarters.
It seems the rest of the second
shift enjoyed a rest at home.
Everybody came back with smil
ing faces, eager for another year’s
work.
Mrs. and Mrs. Tom Brown and
daughter have returned to Rocky
Mount from Davenport, Iowa,
where they took their daughter,
Janice, to a specialist. Tom says
that Janice has improved a good
deal, and that she will receive
treatment in Rocky Mount for the
present. We sincerely hope that
Janice will continue improving
satisfactorily.

Everybody has returned from
enjoyable vacations.
The following people visited
beaches during vacation week:
Jasper “Red” Weaver, Joseph
McCorkle and George Hand.
Mrs. Mary Kermon visited rel
atives and friends in Massachu
setts.
Mrs. Phoebe Trevathan was
tired of the city so she vacationed
in the country near Hillsboro.
Mrs. Lina Everette Creekmore

married. Joe never did like to
