Page Two CHATHAM BLANKETEER May 13, 1940 AROUND THE MILL WEAVING A Shift Visitors The group of young men pictured above visited the Plant last week. They are Power Plant operators of the Cannon Mills, Plant No. 6. Here’s one “to believe or not to believe.” It just goes to show that underneath that “hard- boiled look” that our boss is an awful obliging man. Some party of the first part, or parties of the second parts, paid a social call on W. E.’s tulip bed the other night and tried to take them all home with them. So the night after the night before we observed a powerful spot light shining on the beautiful remaining blossoms. W. E. said he wanted the “parties” to be able to see how to cut the flowers, they might hurt their hands pulling them up by the roots. (Did you think they were pretty, too? I wish I hadn’t told him I thought so, he looked at me awful funny.) Mrs. Freel Pardue has returned home from an enjoyable trip to Washington where she visited relatives. Mi’s. Pardue reported a fine trip and although the rain poured continuously for a week she managed to keep “going” all the time. She visited many places of historical interest. It is being rumored around the Weave Room that “Shep” is tak ing cooking lessons. “Get it?” The Rev. and Mrs. Charlie Breim and son were the supper guests of Mr. and Mrs. Avery Walls, Sunday. Mrs. Ruth Bryant and children, Caroline and Alton, spent the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. Jim Haynes. The Weave Room extends their sympathy to the Alexander’s in the death of their aunt. The kitchen mechanic that now rules over Mamie Sue’s kitchen sure bakes a mean pie. At least Red and Earl think so. Bouquets to Violet Pardue and Bill Alexander for showing us how the uniforms for the women should be worn and to Fannie Henderson for her nonchalant way of getting things done. Gam West threatens suit for anything printed about him. Who does he think he is? Hitler? In America, the press is free. (I hope.) I think the little lady in the Weave Room office found that, what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. But, in this case, the goose couldn’t take it. Get what I mean. Bee? Mrs. Robah Durham and daughter, Anne, of Winston-Sa lem, were the Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Burcham. The Rev. David Day is assist ing in a meeting at the Urban Street Baptist church in Win ston-Salem. Mrs. Julia Wagoner had vis itors from High Point Saturday, Miss Fannie Nicholson and Mr. and Mrs. Delmar Barley. Mrs. Tom Knight visited her mother, Mrs. W. H. Lockhard, in North Wilkesboro Sunday. This department really misses Shorty Walls. We all hope he will soon be back. Bee reports a wonderful week end in the mountains, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. H. Shepherd. That’s Shep’s home, too, by the way. Rev. Cleat Simmons is con ducting a revival in Reidsville this week. Davis Osborne attended the races in Winston-Salem Sunday. Jess Adams wants Gene Couch to hurry and get well so he can come back to work, but Jess doesn’t miss him half as bad as “Crazy” Cockerham does. Valley Grey is having a whoop ing good time at her house with her son. Bill. But, she says he is much better. Mrs. Hugh Brannon and Mrs. June Robinson spent Saturday in Winston shopping. You should see that hat that Kat bought. Oh, it’s awful, (pretty). Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Adams had guests from Burlington over the week-end, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Harrison and friends. SPINNING A Shift We are glad that New’t Chap pell is able to be back at work after his recent illness. Lloyd Dudley spent the week end in Greensboro where he at- attended the motorcycle races Sunday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Judd visited in Charlotte Sunday. Tom Golden wishes to report that according to the latest re ports, Bob Boles and Russ Powers have purchased part of the Baker-Neaves Goat Farm and it will now be known as the “Boles- Baker-and Powers Goat Farm.” Some of the boys want to know if Ab Crater is getting in shape by running the fly balls that the Spinners are hitting at softball practice? Mr. and Mrs. Jack Terrell spent last week-end in Old Fort visit ing relatives. We wonder how the Walter’s- Salmons Hog business is pro gressing. Wanted: A cure for Spring Fever. We’ve all got it bad—es pecially Clyde Cothren. Mr. and Mrs. Buck Whitaker spent last week-end with Mr. and Mrs. Brock Owens on Gwyn ave nue. Mr. and Mrs. D. K. Holyfield visited Mr. and Mrs. Heber Mounce Sunday. Bud Evans and Marie Adams, of Bassetts, Va., spent Sunday as the guests of his sister, Mrs. Rus sell Minnish, in Jonesville. Burrus Adams has found out that he can’t come from the Weaving department and tease the Spinners anymore. Mr. and Mrs. Currie Eldridge had as their week-end guest, Mr. Reece Masten. Mr. Masten has charge of the singing for the East Elkin Baptist church revival which began May 12. Misses Ruth and Dixie Caudle, of Roaring River, T. W. Hanks and wife, of Ronda, and J. W. Johnson, of Ronda, were visitors Sunday in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Garfield Gambill. A revival will begin at Pleasant Ridge church May 15. Rev. Peeler will do the preaching. Ev eryone is cordially invited. Mrs. Ella Pettyjohn visited her mother over the week-end. John Johnson visited his par ents in Davie County Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Earl York and Mr. and Mrs. Leonard York en tertained the senior class of Elk in high school Friday night. May 3, at a hamburger supper at the gym. Walker Luffman says he has quit telling big ones. We won der. Anyone wanting to buy a good Holstein heifer, see Burrus Adams. He has one, twenty-seven dollars and fifty cents. Mr. and Mrs. Nellis Mook spent the week-end with Mrs. Mook’s father, J. C. Spann, in Yadkin- ville. Reece Jolly is now on “A” shift. He has been working on night time for nineteen years without a change. Quite a record. We wonder if anyone else can beat it. Mrs. C. B. Stanley, of Morris town, Tenn., spent the week-end with her father, S. C. Hudspeth. Lawrence Simmons says he likes the way Clyde Combs has his hair cut, but he is afraid it has taken all Clyde’s strength away. Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Sprinkle and baby, Karen, visited with Mrs. Sprinkle’s father and moth er Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Adams. Oliver Walters and his mother went to Salisbury Tuesday night for his nephew’s graduation. Mrs. Lelia Morrison spent Sun day with her mother, Mrs. J. A. Newman, near Benham. We are glad to hear that Rose Key has improved so nicely since her operation and that she will soon be able to return to work. Mrs. Bradshaw Hutchins has been working on the A Shift since Mrs. Key has been out. She is a good spinner and we would like to keep her. Ask James Frye how he got his finger broken? It is spring and fish bite—^so they say, and Russ Powers is sick again—or so he says. We wish to thank everyone who cooperated so well with the Blanketeer contest. If for any reason you do not get your paper, please see me and I will see that you get it. Turn your pictures in early, so we will be able to get them in the paper. “Smile awhile And while you smile Others smile; And soon There are miles and miles Of smiles All because YOU Smiled.
