March 19, 1935 THE CHATHAM BLANKETEER Page Three I WINSTON MILL 1 SHIPPING DEPARTMENT Mr. and Mrs. Alan Banner visited Mrs. Banner’s parents at Sanford last week-end. We’re glad to hear that Mrs. Banner’s mother is improving rapidly. It seems that everyone in this department is trying to see which one can stay at home the most. There has been quite a bit of flu lately. We’re proud of our boys’ bas ketball team. Come on, boys, we are counting on you to win the championship, even if we girls couldn’t. To get adjusted to the world is after all the wisest aim. It won’t adjust itself to us. For it was here before we came.—Cheerful Cherub. It seems that the rain stopped everyone from doing much visit ing this week, so therefore our column is cut short. NAPPING AND WASH ROOM This department gives it sym pathy to Mr. Jete Smitherman ^nd family due to the recent death of Mrs. Smitherman. Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Phillips niotored to Lambsboro, Va., Sun day, March 3rd, where they visited relatives. We have lost another single girl iri our department, Venie Rey nolds.

WINSTON OFFICE “Are my babies playing in the street—has the maid forgotten ^hem, and are they playing in the fire?” These are some of the every-minute worries of the moth er who helps support the family 's it any wonder they are often hervous and have headaches? Some of the good people of Winston-Salem have realized the need of a safe place for the children while the mother is away fi’om home. We have tbuL at 522 North Cherry street. The Day Nursery. Mrs. Lucy Thompson is matron, a lovely person. On the first floor is the office room, play room, dining room, kitchen and a big screened porch. On the second floor are two bed rooms, bath and another big screened porch. The building is heated and is clean, floors, walls and furniture. Any child from 2 years to 6 may enter. The following is the daily schedule at the Play House” as the children call it: 6-30 A. M. open. By 7:30 most of the children have arrived. 7:30 to 8:00 devotional service. The children are told Bible stories and taught songs. 8:00 to 8:30 break fast The children are given a good meal and are taught table manners. 8:30 to 9:30 baths Each child has his or her towel and wash cloth. As they are too voung to read names they have pictures over each rack and each child knows which animal he or she is. 9:30 to 10:30 is play hour.

Mrs. Thompson or the maid is always with them. You may wonder how the children like it.

Mrs. Mulcahey: "We’ll name her Hazel.” Mrs. O’Reilly: “What! With tw^y-five saints to choose rom, ye name her after a nu . Transit News. ELKIN MILL HOT CINDERS From the Power Plant—or Some thing That Got In Your Eye The first bullfrog of the season arrived with the rain storm last Wednesday. No, we didn’t say that it rained frogs, but we found this one in the coal pile just af ter it had stopped raining cats and dogs. Sam Atkinson, of the Dye House, came out of our shower bath shivering like he had just arrived from the north pole. I think it was a dirty trick too, Sam. The idea, turning off the hot water with a man under the shower. Uncle Dave Woodruff tells us he has just finished sowing his Les-pud—^Les-ud—Les-de-za. Aw spell it yourself. Uncle Dave has just recently completed a small overshot water wheel and put it to work pump ing spring water up to his house. He has a real efficient water sys tem and he says it does not cost much to operate it, either. Walter Barnette entertained a few of his friends with a splen did chicken dinner last Sunday. I say splendid because I ate some of it, even if he wouldn’t let me go up and eat with him. I don’t blame him, though. Say you folks up in the mill, you are invited to come down and see the splendid little power plant that your management has in stalled to furnish the mill with heat and power. Come down ei ther before you go on duty or af ter you are off. We will be glad to show you around. We always welcome visitors. We do not tol erate loafers. Uncle Dave tells us that the eleven o’clock hour at Elkin Val ley church was occupied last Sun day by Grady Burgiss. He says there was a good crowd out to hear Grady, and the talk was very much enjoyed. Everette Holbrook and family attended church at Friendship last Sunday. Clyde Hall has been entertain ing a very achy tooth for the past few days. He says it is no trouble to keep awake on the third shift now. We had a couple of visitors last night—almost. It turned out that they wanted the steam turned on in their department. While they proceeded to tell us in no uncer tain terms. Thanks, ladies. Now some of you folks that are too hot, come down and tell us to turn the steam off and we will be even. Thank you too much. After we had finished washing the turbine room floor last night somebody came in out of the rain with muddy shoes, walked two circles around on our clean floor and back out at the door. Oh, boy! if we could only catch that guy. We would present him with a pair of boots and a mop. Have you been listening to Grady Cole on the Chatham broadcast? He is on WBT at 5:45 p. m. six days a week. Some day before long I am going to sneak over to the WBT studio and get a picture of Grady doing his broadcast. We might get it in the Blanketeer. HOW TO KEEP YOUNG I saw him sitting at his door Trembling, as old men do; His house was old, his barn was old. And yet his eyes seemed new. His eyes had seen three times my years. And kept a twinkle still, Though they had looked at birth and death And three graves on a hill. “I will sit down with you,” I said, “And you will make me wise; Tell me how you have kept the joy Still burning in your eyes.” Then, like an old-time orator, Impressively he rose; “I make the most of all that comes And the least of all that goes.” The jingling rhythm of his words Echoed as old songs do. Yet this had kept his eyes alight Till he was ninety-two. BETTING ON POSSIBILITIES A young man recently married was saying to a friend: “I’m a bit in doubt as to what to call my mother-in-law. You see, my mother is living, and it doesn’t seem right to me to call my wife’s mother ‘Mother.’ ” “That’s easy,” the friend re plied. I was up against the same thing. The first year I addressed her as ‘Say’; after that I called her ‘Grandma.’ ” PLAIN LOGIC A Scotchman, upon entering a saddler’s, asked for a single spur. “What’s use in one spur?” asked the man. “Well,” replied Sandy, “if I can get one side of the horse to go the other one will hae to come wi’ it.” At the morning service Dr. Holcomb will discuss “If the De pression Is Disappearing, What Lessons Are We Learning?” Mrs. W. L. Walker will sing “Search Me, O God.”—Memphis Evening Appeal. CARD OF THANKS I wish to thank my friends for the many kindnesses shown me during my recent bereavement, J. A, Sniithennan auci Family
