Dye house and Outside HODGE Phittn SALUTE TO OUR VETERANS It is a fine tribute to our veterans of World War II that they are receiving so many compliments in connection with their splendid performance as they return to their jobs with the Company. One hears from all sources, including mill managers, office managers, mill superintendents, de partment supervisors, and other employees who come in contact with these veterans, favorable comments as to their work and attitude. . We are not surprised to hear these words of praise for our veterans. During the war our servicemen and women, working and fighting side by side with their comrades from other sections of the United States and with our gallant allies, performed one of the outstanding military feats of all history. They won a most glorious victory over militarily strong adversaries. They have come back now to carry on in peace as they did in war. It is good to have our veterans back with us and it is an inspiration to all of us to see them tackle their civilian jobs with the same fine spirit that enabled them to win the war so quickly and decisively. We salute our veterans! FOOD FOR PEACE Gardens have come to be a part of the pattern of things for most of us due to the drive for wartime conser vation and homefront production of food through Victory gardens. Yet it is just this year that Victory gardens really begin to have a true meaning. We have won victory on the battlefield and now the battle for the peace is on. The many agencies, national and international, that must see to the food supply of the nation and the world emphasize that this year the food shortages will be greater than ever before. WHY? Europe for the most part baa hptm-jm the adge of starvationancfif these people are to be again settled and adjusted to peace they must be healthy. Due to the dislocation of peoples and the ravages of war farms in Europe and Asia have not yet begun to reach adequate pro duction. Added to this fact is the untimely occurrence of droughts and floods that have ruined many crops and inten sified the world food shortage. So for the sake of food for our own tables, it is almost imperative that each household cultivate bigger and better gardens this year with an eye to canning all that is possible for next winter. Get yours started now. NEVER SAY DIE If at times things look black and you feel that you are losing confidence in yourself, remember the experiences of Edison, Wool worth, Marconi and other men who forged ahead despite ob stacles. When Edison was in school, doctors predicted he would end up with brain trouble because he couldn't remember his three R's. Woolworth was hired as a floor sweeper at 50 cents a day because the store owner didn't think he HnH any merchandising ability. And Marconi was continually be- ing scolded by his father for "wasting time" experimenting with radio.—The Mill Whistle. IT ISNT EASY To control one's temper. To re sist conceit in the face of ap plause. To confess to a mistake. To smile when despondent. To see the humor of a situation when the joke is on you. To forgive quickly. To avoid jealousy. To halt criticism of others. To be temperate in all matters. To be unselfish. To keep on trying. But it always pays in the end.—The Mill Whistle. THE ERWIN CHATTER (t)oflfiinaA ffiH I• ? s ...

Bleaehery and Vat Dye Reporting: JANICE EATON, SARAH BOWLES, JOHN FRANK GARWOOD RUBY ALEXANDER, WILLIE BROWN To the Bleachery we welcome back four of our veterans — Thomas Gaither, James G. Deal, Foy Bailey and Graham Durham. We welcome back Eugene W. Milholen to the Finishing Plant as our Lot Clerk. Among the boys we have back on their jobs from service are the following: Ray Brown, Army, 4 months, 9 days; G. W. Sum mers. Army, 3 years; Fred Tut terow, Army, 3 years; Ben Bowles, Army, 3 years; June Fleming, Army, 20 months, and was wounded in action in France; James Luckey, Army, 41 months; William Wetmore, Army, 44 months; Hubert Shoaf, Navy, 4 years; Tom Carter, Navy, 4 years; Lester Anderson, Army, 36 months, 23 days; John Frank Garwood, Navy, 3% years; James Deal, Army, 2 years, 9 months; Graham Durham, Army, 4 years, 2 weeks; Tom Gaither, Navy, 1 year, 10 months. Hey, Fred! What's the idea of trying to sell the girl a horse? Guess you thought there'd be a chance of getting to go over to see how the horse liked his new home. Ha! Ha! No trade. Amy Crawford says when she bets that it's only for fun al though it sometimes costs her a trip to the city (Mocksville) to collect her money back. One would think the war was fnnnnorl illi.

Milholen, United States Army, June 7 at the Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, Cooleemee, N. C. still going on when June Fleming throws out a barrel. The boys al most hit the floor. No foxholes in here! James Cartner says if it's "cats" you want, see him. "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." "That's not according to Hoyle," says George Jones, since he came on the first shift and the mill only running three days. Oh, well! Brighter days ahead. George Williams reports that Edgar Frye has lost a very funny looking dog. If found please no tify Frye. "Maggie" came to work the other day with a blue shirt on. My, how he had changed. Yours truly hardly recognized him. Could it be a new dye he has per fected? One can certainly tell whether or not we're having P-231 on the menu. One sees Frank Sain and June Fleming carrying three buckets of dye each and trying to fly. Watch your step, boys, "broken bones mend slowly." Faye Daniels certainly does paddle that cloth. Rumors are that she wore out three new pad dles in one week. We are glad to welcome the following new employees to our department: Kenneth Holt, George Snider, Edward Durham, Bruce Allmon, Rooney McElroy and Erwin Wilson. We also want to welcome back the following servicemen to our department: William Shoaf, Charles Beauchamp and Felix Cartner. We are glad to report that Martin Latham's wife has re turned home from the hospital after undergoing a serious opera tion and is now improving nicely. Carding HARRY STROUD, "SAM" ROGER It looks good to see the green light burning again on our safety bulletin after getting off to, shaty we say, "not too good a start" We hope to keep it that way by cooperating with each other in working safely. Several of our employee vet erans are returning to the plant On the first shift we are glad to welcome back John Phelps, Wil liam Nesbit, James McNeely and Everett Gales. It sure looks good to see these fellows back with us. We are proud of all our serv icemen. Mrs. Katherine Waters, one of the first shift reporters, remains quite ill at her home in Mocks ville. It is the wish of all Card Room workers for her a com plete and speedy recovery. Miss Viola Cartner, our office lady for the last several years, has been transferred to fill a va cancy in the Superintendent's (Continued on page S) Kiy.uj
