CARD ROOM
A Shift
It is reported that Mr. Luther
Hemric and Jones Wagoner went
bear hunting over the week-end.
Jones says the bears have been
getting his chickens.
We are glad to have M. C.
Dobbins, J. E. Roseberry, and
Gratis Walters with us in the
Card Room.
Ask Walt Dula about the hail
storm 22 years ago.
This department is one of the
biggest departments in the whole
mill and why doesn’t someone
tell me something? If you don’t
tell me the news by the next
time, I am going to write some
thing about everyone of you, even
if I have to tell a story to get
your name in the Blanketeer.
Where, oh where, can the
other two shifts be in this de
partment?

OFFICE CHATTER
It’s Monday morning and ev
eryone is back after spending the
week-end here and yon. Mostly
“Yon,” I think.
I noticed Mr. Harris is back
from his vacation spent at Ocra-
coke. He sure looks swell and we
are all waiting to hear some of
those tall fish yams. Maybe we
will have to wait until Mr. Poore
comes down from the New York
Office. He went along too.
Many things have happened
since last issue: Mr. and Mrs. Bill
Harris are back at their desks
after honeymooning in New York
and points East. Henry Dobson
got himself elected to the Legis
lature ’er somethin’. Good going,
Henry. Where’s our candy? Ola
Crowder dined and danced at the
Robert E. Lee. Uncle Dave Mas-
tin’s son, Dave, has fully recov
ered and is back on the job this
morning, following an operation.
Mr. Butler has learned to do the
Shag. George Dick had a very
lovely visitor last week. Mr.
Poindexter has a telephone now.
Ladies, the number is 92. Dick
Chatham’s is Elkin operator, No.
8. (Helping Babe out.) Alex
Chatham calls a wicked square
dance. Speaking of square
dancing, Mr. Chatham without a
doubt had the best looking shirt
there, but, I think Jack Clark had
the best time with Bob Arm
strong running him a close sec
ond. Anyway a wonderful time
was had by all.
This brings us to the ball game
with U. N. C. Saturday. It was
one of those “Thriller diller” af
fairs, with the wrong team win
ning in the tenth inning. But it
was a beautiful ball game and I
think our team made a splendid
showing.
Reg Harris of the New York
Office was here Friday, shaking
hands and saying “hello” as well
as receiving congratulations on
his approaching marriage to a
lovely southern girl.
For Bugs Page it won’t be long
either. July 6th, I think.
It’s a son at the Bob Hartness’.
Born May 28, at City hospital,
Winston-Salem. His name is W.
R. Hartness III.
I think the new pin ball ma
chine is a great improvement in
our reception room, but I would
like to put in a special request
for a trophy for Ray Ball. I
think I had better .sign off on
that one. I hope Ray doesn’t
take the Blanketeer.
Young Mr. Hartness received
the following telegram from the
Elkin Chamber of Commerce:
“Welcome as a new resident of
Elkin. We have big things plan
ned for you. A pitcher for Wea
ver’s promised catcher, a boxing
mate for Flynt’s Minor, an escort
for Dixon’s toe dancer, a foster
son for Blackwood and a protec
tor in old age for Taylor.”
