Page Four The Caromount News DECEMBER, 1948 Iredell “Shorty” Davis came to the Wilson Division in 1942 and has worked continuously since that time. “Shorty” is a native of Wilson County. He was born and reared on a farm, attended Rock Ridge School and farmed until 1938. After a venture into the tire recapping business and construc tion work, Davis started with Sid ney Blumenthal and Co., Inc. In 1936 he was married to Miss Mabel Joyner. They have one child, Peggy Aileen, eleven years old. “Shorty” makes radio repair ing his hobby For some time he has had an interest in radio and he has acquired much equipment for testing and repairing radios. He recently acquired the Tar- boro Gas and Electric Company at 125 South Douglas Street where they handle a complete line of gas and electric stoves, refrigera tors and appliances. The Davis family lives at 516 Winstead Street. They attend the Sandy Hill Free Will Baptist Church. Deer Hunt Fruitless John Gardner, Willie Harper, F. F. Simmons, and “Pee Wee” Simmons went on a deer hunt near Fayetteville, N. C. After a long ride with no sleep the party arrived on the hunting grounds. The men were placed on the deer stands and soon old “Speed” and “Spot” hit the trail and in short order the deer was on the run. As the deer came in range of No. 1 Stand, the hunter, Willie Harper, instead of being ready to shoot, was fast asleep on the pine straw and as a result the party re- Weaveshed Activities First Shift E. W. Denton has been confined to the hospital due to an illness for several weeks. We hope that he will soon be better and able to return to work. It is rumored that Willie Sel lers has been doing a new kind of hunting—Bird hunting at night! How is it done, Willie? Tommy Layton had to be out for a day recently to kill hogs. Whose^hogs. Tommy? Mrs. Jack Thomas has been away recently visiting in the North, and Jack has been “batch ing.” Mr. and Mrs. Jake Jones were away from work for a few days when their little daughter under went an eye operation. We under stand that the operation was a suc cess and that everything is all right now. We are so glad for you all. Randolph Sutton and Owen Solmon took a week’s vacation and went quail hunting. It seems that the boys had a bet for the finest bottle of oil in town- The weather was terrible but Randolph and Sol managed to kill a few birds. Sol won the bet. Second Shift Johnnie A. Raper has reenlisted in the United States Army. John was a staff sergeant in World War II and he will receive his same rating again. Albert Holmes purchased one half gallon of egg nog water for Christmas, and put it in the kitch en beside a jug of kerosene. His wife, thinking it was kerosene, poured the Brandy in the stove tank. It cooked dinner very nice- Iv. turned with no meat. The second chance to provide venison was muffed by “Pee Wee” Simmons, who talked of a great skill as a deer hunter but missed the perfect shot. Both the Sleeping Beauty and “Pee Wee” paid the penalty of all poor deer hunters and gave up their shirt tails to the other mem bers of the party. John Gardner, who handled the axe, ran into dif ficulty when he confused “Pee Wee’s” shirt tail with his winter “longhandles.’’ “Some' people are like blotters —soak it all in, but get it all backwards.” Mending Dept Reports With the Thanksgiving holiday behind us, everyone is now think ing about Christmas- Everybody reported having had a quiet but enjoyable Thanksgiving. Most ev erybody had company for dinner even though a big fat hen in some cases replaced the traditional tur key. Mrs. Blanche Brantley with members of her family spent Thanksgiving in Portsmouth visit ing points of interest. They saw Old Point Comfort, Fortress Mon roe, Cape Charles and the Mu seum. Mrs. Pauline Morris of the first shift returned to work after the holidays, having been out sick for about ten weeks. Mrs. Claudia Doughtie of the second shift has been out because of the serious illness of her broth er. We hope that he will be better soon and that she will be back. The shifts of the Mending De partment have drawn names for Christmas presents and are look ing forward to the parties they plan to have at Christmas. Mrs. Janna Gupton spent some of her Thanksgiving holidays cooking fruit cakes for Christmas. She cooked 24 pounds of fruit cake. She must be expecting a lot of guests before Christmas. With “happiness in the home’ dependent as it is upon the prel vention of personal injuries oflj the job, each of us should be lOOj per cent behind the safety prof gram. Our personnel as a whokj should always strive to stay acci-l dent-free, as well as to continuoUS'l ly caution their co-workers aboutj the folly of indulging in unsaf^j practices. To go home from work with! out having had a personal injury! is a joyous feeling—to realiz^l that our safe acts have eliminate^ij grief and worry for our loved oneM should incite us to stay safety con-j scious—to know that our paV'l check will not be decrease*!! through careless acts, should bej an incentive to us at all times.
