I.loyd V. (Rat) Carpenter, for mer employee of the Eagle Rub lishing Company, removed bis khaki clothing and donned bis old dollies last Thursday and helped us get another issue of the Eagle off the press. “Rat” had been off newspaper work since he was drafted into the United Slates Army,, almost three years ago, but it all came back to him in a few minutes and he was re sponsible feu us getting the Eagle in the mail last Thursday, early as we did. Our make-up and job man was out all Iasi week, due to illness, and when a person is out on news paper work, you really miss them, as each man lias his duty to per form in a newspaper plant. Luck ily (Rat.) came home Wednesday night to ipend a few days with bis parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Carpenter We explained the shortage of manpower we had to confront with and asked (Rat) to help us out. At first he refused, stating that he w'as here on im portant business, and it would be impossible to help us out; and too. | he was a little peev'ed with the story we had carried in a few back copies of the Eagle in regard to Harvey Lankford, making a des perate effort to tire him from his work. However after some per suasion and pleading with him. he agreed to come in Thursday morn ing and see that the Eagle once I more would make the mail, stat ing that it had not missed a single Thursday during the past .'57 years. We are grateful to (Rat) for helping us out of the hole. Corp. Carpenter, now stationed at Camp Croft, near Spartanburg, S. (’., began his newspaper ca reer with the Eagle, while only a small boy. He began, as all do. by melting metal, running er rands, cleaning type, running job presses, and then the great ambi tion that all strive for, running the Linotype machine. (Rat) started here as a printers Devil, and left when he was inducted into the armed forces of the Unit ed States army, foreman of the printing department, this being as high as any one can accomplish in a small weekly newspaper of fice. lie did his work well while here, taking an interest in the business and wanting to give the public high class job printing and striving to make the Eagle a bet ter publication each week. Carpenter, who has often stat ed since he left Cherryville, that he neVer intended to make Cher ryville his home again, promised us, that after this conflict is over with the Axis powers in Europe, he would reconsider and probably we could come to some agreement and he would take charge of the shop again Of course, he said perhaps he would bring a Georgia Bell here to live with "him the re mainder of his days.
