Page Four THE CHATHAM BLANKETEER July 1st, 1933 WINSTON MILL L. H. C. CLUB PLANS MEETINGS Niuiiber of Winston-Salem Mem bers Are On Sick List; Out lines Program For Sununer At our last meeting of the Club at Centenary church we decided to have out-door meetings this summer and not to meet but every other Monday night. This was due to the fact that so many of our members have been put on the night force, thus reducing our attendance considerably. The roll was divided up and six girls were appointed as hostesses for each meeting night. The following are the red letter days for the sum mer: July 10th and September 2nd will include camping trips, Hikes, picnics, weiner roasts, swimming parties and water mel on feasts are included in our sum mer program. The following girls have been on our sick list for the month of June: Ethel Hanks, appendicitis operation at the City Hospital: Francis Hensley, tonsil operation at Hugh Chatham Hospital, Elk in; Agnes McDaniel, tonsil oper ation at Baptist Hospital; Lucy Scott, Pauline Gentry, Erline Mayberry, have also been out for several days. We are glad to welcome back to our Club the following mem bers who have been away at school this winter: Miss Hixie Ashe, North Carolina Teachers College, Cnllowhpp, N. C. We are proud to announce that we have three who graduated this spring, two from high school and one from college: Miss Lou ise Sides, Salem College, City; Miss Gypsy Smitherman, R. J. R. High School, City; Miss Vera Austin, Eerrum Training School, Ferrum, Virginia. We are proud of Vera, she made the honor roll every month while at Ferrum and won the first prize for making the best dress in the whole Do mestic Science Dept. Our first outing was held at Washington Park on May 31st. We had thirty-one girls present. Six of the girls acted as host esses. Upon the arrival of the guests we were introduced to all the visitors in a unique way. Games were enjoyed for an hour and then we were invited to a big barn fire where we enjoyed roasting weiners and marshmal lows. One of the most original out ings we have had in a long time was the party given on June 12th at the home of Miss Claudia Aus tin in Forest Hills, for our two recent brides, Mrs, Frances Sny der and Mrs. B. M. Newman. Up on the arrival of the guests the men were dressed as grooms and the ladies as brides maids. The unique thing about it was that the men took the ladies’ names and the ladies the men’s. The wedding music was furnished by the guests, using as their selec tions, “Just Before the Battle,” and “The Fight Is On.” The wedding party entered to the strains of “Washington and Lee Swing.” Those taking part in the mock ceremony were: Miss Versie Whitlock, bride, Mr. Fran- Shipping Department A group of girls from this de partment enjoyed an outing at Crystal Lake Saturday, June 17, 1933. Boat riding, swimming and dancing were enjoyed during the afternoon, after which a delicious picnic supper was served to the following: Misses Iva Lee Blan ton, Pluma Bowles, Gladys Scott, Vera Briggs and Mrs. Margaret Taylor and Annie Sutton. A few new girls have been added to our happy family in this department, among them Misses Emma Forbes and Naomi Wooten. Miss Wooten is one of our old girls. We were sorry to give up two of our girls lately. Mrs. Addie Mae Fox and Mrs. Raymond Bray. Mrs. Bray has been ill for quite a while. We are glad to report that she is recuperating nicely. We keep hearing wedding bells slightly tingling in this depart ment. Shorty, when will they ring for you? Mr. Harvey Wishon wishes to announce that he will offer his services to sing at any wedding or funeral that may come off this summer. The members of this depart ment wish to offer a five dollar prize to anyone who will invent a medicine that will cause the following people to grow in height: Mrs. Ezra Shamel, Mr. Cleon Masencup, Mr. Elmer White and Harvey Wishon. Since beer became legal we find that several people in the shipping department do not have any trouble in keep ing a bay window. Finishing Department Miss Francis Hensley and Mrs. Ralph Sutton entertained their Sunday school class on June 13th at Crystal Lake. Swimming was enjoyed by the class. Later in the evening the party enjoyed a delightful weiner roast. About twenty members and friends of the class attended. Quite a few out of this depart ment have been sick for some time, among them, Mrs. Holcomb and Mrs. Elva Foy. We wish for them a speedy recovery. We welcome back to our group all our girls who have been away to school and all the new ones that have been added to our force. We miss the girls that have been put on the evening force, we hope they won’t forget us. The girls that are under Mr. Sam Taylor’s supe.-rvision are very jealous hearted. They seem ces Snyder, groom, Miss Linda Fishel, floAver girl. Misses Madie Austin and Hixie Ashe, brides maids, and Miss Austin as the preacher. The ceremony was per formed before an improvised al tar in front of the fire place. “Stars and Stripes Forever” was played as a recesjjional, with Miss Elizabeth Flynt at the piano. As a iiifiiientu of the happy occasion the brides were given a fly swat ter and an ice pick. to think that he pays more atten tion to one group than he does the other. Mr. Taylor, why is it you like the wrappers better than you do the folders? Is it because most of them wear big sun shade hats? If we can stand in better with you for that reason we will buy us all a new hat. We are also jealous of you and John Sap- penfield. You are seen in his company far too much. Hooch Conrad says the reason the girls call him “daddy” is be cause they have to look up to him. The Hensley twins are the proud owners of a baby pony, named “Dynamite.” Ellis Hall has been seen quite often lately in the company of a beautiful young brunette. Ellis, do you like brunettes better than you do blondes? Mrs. Clarence Bell attended the Southern Baptist Convention in Washington recently. Miss Linda Fishel spent Sunday in Raleigh. Did you go alone, Linda? Miss Madie Austin spent the week-end in Ridgeway recently, attending the dedication of her home church. These hot days some of us wish we were just fourteen so we could get out at four o’clock. Napping and Wash The many friends of Mrs. Worth Masten and Miss Wilma Masten who are patients at the City Hos pital, will be glad to learn that they are improving nicely, and that they will be removed to their home this week. Little Opal Smitherman, small daughter of Jete Smitherman, had her tonsils removed June 17th. Mr. and Mrs. John Williams, Miss Mary Williamson and Mr. Tom Smitherman spent last Sun day in Madison. The members of this depart ment will be glad to learn that Miss Pauline Gentry, who has been ill for six weeks, will soon be able to return to work. Miss Ruby Davis spent two weeks in Elkin lately at the home of Miss Laura Masten. Mrs. Gaynell Longworth has been going around asking for do nations for Mr. Earl Shamels’ gross of baking soda. What are you preparing for Mr. Earl? The members of this depart ment and visitors who visit the superintendent’s office would cer tainly appreciate it if Mr. Henry Trotter would be more careful how he mixes the chemicals in the Wash room. We feel that the odor in this department would not be so bad. We wish to take this means to express to Mr. Stauber Flynt our deepest sympathy during the ill ness and death of his father. Estelle Powers; “Pauline, do you know how they take the cen sus in Scotland?” Pauline Morrison: “No, how do they?” Estelle: ,‘Wliy (liat is a simple matter, they roll a penny down the street.” ROTH TELLS OF WORLD’S FAIR Ti’emendons Size of Buildings, Colors and Lighting One of Big Features of Exposition Chicago is playing host to hundreds of thousands of visitors every week and will continue to do so until the first of November. Here in Elkin we count crowds in hundreds while up there they fig ure in thousands and ten thous ands. The average daily attend ance was around eighty to one hundred thousand. When you figure that that is more than the total population of Winston-Sa lem and some of the neighboring towns added to it you can realize something of the real size of the huge crowd that has to be taken care of every day. On entering the Fair Grounds the sights that would probably impress one more than any other is the tremendous size of the fair, the unusual types of buildings and the bright colors. All the buildings are painted some bright color scheme, red, blue, green, yellow, orange and almost any color that you can think of. At night when these buildings are lighted it makes one of the most beautiful sights you can imagine and they use plenty of electricity and light there. I suppose you could light a city of two hundred thousand with the lights that are in the Fair. The best vicv,' of the fair can be had from one of the two Sky Ride towers, these towers are 625 feet high, about five or six times as high as the boiler room chim ney here at the Mill, and from the top on a clear day you can see into four states, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan. As for the fair ground far below you it looks like some kind of Fairy Land with all of its queer colors and shapes, while at night I do not know of any words that can describe the beautiful sight below you. Everything is alright up there in the air if the wind is not blowing too hard because in one hard wind storm the top of the towers swayed around 16 to 18 inches and there were a lot of people up there that could not get down on the elevators quite as fast as they would have liked to. I would like to go into detail about some of the exhibits and shows that were there, but that would fill a book and my time and space is limited so I had bet ter stop. —Thomas Roth.
