Page “You've Got To Listen To The Sound Of The Shell" “You’ve got to listen to the sound of the shell,” says Newell Brewington, Plant No. 2 Weaving Lubricator as he explained how to catch a turtle by hand. “When it’s been raining, I go along the creek banks punching areas with a stick. A turtle has its own sound, and you just learn what you’ve found by the sound.” Brewington, long known for his “turtle” tracking ability, caught a 31 pounder in Duncan creek a few weeks ago. “There’s a renewed interest in grabbing for turtles,” says Brewington. “The young people are finding this an enjoyable sport.” There was a time when Clinton Mills employees had a statewide reputation for turtle hunting. Among those using their hands to catch them are Joe Davenport, James Moore, Larry Lawson and many others. “You just can’t believe the amount of good eating that’s un der that shell,” says Brewington. “My son-in-law, Bobby English, cooks a good stew and that’s where this one will end up. “I wish I had the time to ‘catch ’em’ like we use to,” con tinued Brewington. “People have too many other things going on now,” he added, “but I believe in the future, you’ll see more people returning to the basic forms of recreational sports like fishing, hunting, etc.” King Robertson Day Student Becomes Night Employee Clinton Maintenance employee Dennis Hampton is planning to enter Piedmont Technical College this fall and study elec tronics. “I’ll go to school days and work nights,” says Hampton. “If I’m lucky, I’ll be able to complete the course in about 3V2 to four years,” he added. Tech understands that many of their students have to work, so they cooperate with you in every way possible. Dennis, who worked summers at Lydia and Clinton in previous years, is anxious to become an industrial electrician. “In high school, I participated in the vocational electricity courses and that helped me a great deal,” he emphasized. A recent graduate of Clinton High School, Dennis has been awarded a Stu dent Loan by the Bailey Foundation to pursue his technical education. During his school’s awards night program, he was also recognized as one of the school’s most outstanding student bus drivers. „ m Lowf- of Land Love of freedom King Transferred .. .

Dunaway Bags Pinto Deer Dennis Hampton Our Children Robert Dunaway, Lydia Maintenance employee, has long been identified as one of Clinton’s most avid outdoorsmen. “I fish or hunt almost everyday the year round,” says Dunaway. Lasc N member, Robert bagged a 190 pound, 11 point pinto deer. “It was a sight a hunter would never forget,” stated Dunaway. “Several hun ters had earlier reported seeing the animal—or a similar one—but were un able to get a shot at it. “As the deer came near me, I was sur prised at the spots. I leveled my 30/30 ri fle, fired one shot, and the deer fell,” ad ded Dunaway. Dunaway, who has hunted deer on a regular basis since the 1950’s, had the en tire deer mounted by Joe Kelly of Mountville. “It’s life size and its appearance is just like you would see it in the natural en vironment,” states Dunaway. “It cost me a little over $400 to mount it, but it was well worth it. You’d be sur prised at the number of my fellow hun ters who have already been to see it since I got it back from the taxidermist. It’s been a five month’s waiting period to get it completed,” he continued. Most want to see the spots before they believe what you say.
