White will leave Ensley Sunday for Syracuse, N. r., where he will take up his duties as assistant man ager of the coke manufacturing de- department, a position to which he was appointed as announced in the Age Herald Tuesday. The illness of MT. Whites son suggested the prop riety of dispensing with any formali- ties incident to the gift of silver and there were no speeches made either on presentation or in the &C., ceptance by the district manager. Mir. White simply transmitted his sincere thanks to the employees that remembered him upon his retirement from the southern plants.
