VOLUME 1 UNEASY TRUCE Man and bears» temporarily called off hostili ties while Charlie Calhoun, manager of the Esso Standard Oil Company bulk plant in Dunn, poses with a new friend, ”Btinky” the Skunk. Stinky, property of the Esso company, tours the State to spend a week with each Esso employe who injures himself in an avoidable accident. Calhoun lucked up when he smashed a finger a few months back. (Daily Record Phots by T. M. Stewart.)

But, as Buck says, "every dog has his day,” and Buck had his during the weekend. Among Buck's best friends are Earl Westbrook and Joe McCul lers, and the three of them went to Raleigh Sunday night to catch a plane for Atlanta. All the way to Raleigh, Earl and Joe kidded Buck and predicted that he’d get sick on the plane trip. They said Buck was still “sickly" from his hospital stay. _ They boarded the plane at 7:08 and an hour and 45 minutes later they were still circling the Char lotte arlport trying to land in a storm. As fate would have it, Joe got cold feet and the perspiration pop ped out all over him. Earl got a little woozy and Buck had to get him a can. While Earl and Joe sat there “sweating it out,” ' Buck sat back smiling chewing gum and poking fun at his two pals. “Who did you all say was going to get sick on this trip?” Buck kept asking his two traveling comp anions. They just glared at him. 1 But it was all in fun, and Joe and Earl weren't the only ones who > got sick. Both of them have made many many trips by plane. But old sea skippers who sail the seas all their life get seasick sometimes.- So it with flying. Among the passengers were two soldiers who had just flown home across the Atlantic without get ting sick. They, got sick as a dog on this trip. Though Buck had the time of ' his life kidding his two buddies, ' he agreed that it was a rough trip and still can’t understand how he missed getting sick, too. But it wont be long.

The lucky recipient gets to har bor and feed Stinky for a week, after which he is sent on to the next hapless employe who manag ed to get himself banged Judging by Stinky’s lengthy Iti nerary, Esso’s employes seem to d> a lot of finger-mashing. Calhoun cracked his own pinky while un loading batteries from a conveyor belt back in March. It took three months for Stinky to work his way around to the Esso bulk plant here, which Calhoun manages. Arrives In Style Stinky arrived in style via the At lantic Coast Line Railroad. He was shipped from Burlington, where another hapless Esso employe had gladly given up his charge after a week with Stinky. The next stop for the peripatetic polecat is Rich Square. The malodorous mammal—w<W incidentally, has been deodorized through simple surgery which re moved the scent glands on his hind legs—was shipped in a white and red cargo ornamented with half of an eight-ball at either end. One side of the cage roof lifts up to make the animal accessible to anyone who feels the urge to fondle him. Feeding instructions were tacked behind a sheet of cel luloid on the underside of the hing ed panel, but Stinky evidently de voured the instruction sheet. When last seen, he had nibbled his way hungrily through half the cellophane. That left temporary owner Calhoun in something of a (Con Untied ms Page 7) .
