WEAVING NO. 3 1ST SHIFT by Emily & Grace Well, "Spring has sprung," and I wonder how many cases of spring fever we have. This pretty weather makes it real hard to stay indoors. It's my favorite time of year. Seems as if it just lifts the spirit to see new life in the trees and everything turning green again, after seeming to be dead. Really reminds one anew of the resurrection of our Lord. Well, we're missing two of our co-workers whom we had worked with for years. Mrs. Ora Williams retired April 13 and Grady Smith had quit a week before. Grady said he wasn't retiring, he was just going to devote full time to the chicken farm, but Ora must really be retired for when Robert Adams told her she could have a little garden out at the back of her house, she replied. "Why do you think I'm quitting the mill? I'm tired of working." We hope they're both going to enjoy their pursuits.
