Everett, too,
a swell time, but what we could
not understand about the party,
was that he hid the cash register
in his curio shop. And again, it
was ;i little embarrassing for him
to search us after we had looked
at several beautiful vases and oth
er rare items.
I have a story on Arnold Wil
liams, as soon as Thurman Lance
gets some more facts and figures,
—as you all know I slick to facts.
Estus Thomas, Grover Suttles,
Earl Frady and another friend of
theirs from tlie Turbine Room
were labbit hunting down on Lit
tle River, and they happened to
look up and see three men from
the State Game Reserve approach
ing them. Before he thought what
he was doing, Frady swam the
river and crawled on his hands
and knees for over a quarter of a
mile. He stepped on one rabbit,
killing it, and outran the sec
ond. After he had reached home
safely, he found that he did have
a license, after all. He had bought
it during the Christmas holidays,
and then forgot he had it.
So long.

SEZ YOU
Son (after lecture from father):
“You say the early bird catches
the worm. How about the worm?
Wasn’t he foolish to get up . so
early?”
Father (solemnly): “That worm
hadn’t been to bed at all. He was
on his way home.”
By HARRY S. KOLMAN
Now, with the New Year here
and all of our New Year’s resolu
tions broken in, let’s hope we all
live up to them.
It has been some time since our
last efforts at writing, and we
hardly know where to begin.
First, let’s welcome to our midst
Ed Hill, who was formerly with
Control. We are glad to have you
with us, Ed.
Bill Bell has stolen the laurels
from Dick Moore, and now ranks
as our leading jurist—if you need
any legal advice, see Bill.
We are sorry to hear of the ill
ness in Bob Rhyne’s family and
wish tiiem a speedy recovery.
Dick Moore is still busy work
ing on his house, and U. G. Bat
son is still drawing up plans. It’s
hard to tell who is making the
most progress—but who gets the
most biscuits for breakfast is the
question.
Charles Glazener is our football
expert. Tell us your system, Char
lie. How do you pick so many
winners?
Bill Long is busy moving—
hope you like your new apart
ment, Bill!
It was good to see David Sams
when he came here during the
holidays. He is getting along fine
at Wake Forest and hopes to be
with us again this summer. Nice
going David and Dot!
Canteen-Cafeteria
Chatter
By ANNE KITCHEN
Two of our Canteen operators,
Ashe and Hensley, took a long
voyage into matrimony recently.
Here’s wishing a happy and pros
perous journey for both! ,
Ethel goes to Asheville so much
recently that we are beginning to
wonder if it is really a doctor she
is going to see.
A. P. surely looks well these
days since he is getting his carrot
juice regularly.
We welcome our new helper,
Ray, in the Canteen. Girls, he is a
married rhan. ,
We are very sorry to hear of
Bessie’s sister being sick, we wish
for her a speedy recovery.
Folks, watch out when the wagon
comes in. York surely can spread
the ice.
Mr. and Mrs. Hensley wish to
extend their thanks to the Cafe-
teria-Canteen gang for the nice
wedding present given them.
Mr. Dill’s always talking about
his dogs—we wonder sometimes
if he ever hunts any!
Finishing Touches
By MAUDE STEWART and
BERTHA EDWARDS
All Finishing Department em
ployees enjoyed a three day Christ
mas leave.
Charles Clark thought he would
like something nice for the New
Year so he tried thie mumps. Ser
iously, Charles,' we hope you are
recovering and will soon be back
to work.
Virginia Burrell, heretofore
calm and freedom loving, has al
lowed Red Lanning to place a
keep-away sign on the ring finger
of her left hand. It is very pretty,
Virginia.
Lois Wilson must have heard a
rumor that there were to be quite
a few marriages on Christmas
Day and just in order to be dif
ferent, she stepped hers up to the
22nd., three days before Christ
mas. Pardon us, of course, Lois,
you were only taking advantage
of our Christmas vacation.
We’ve heen wondering why Rob
bie Gash liked to go through
Printing so well and now we know.
Since Christmas she’s wearing a
ring from Johnny of Printing De
partment.
For Hazel Kitchen it’s been long
time no see—that is since her hus
band is still in the Army. But
from what we hear it won’t be
long now, he’s on his way home!
Charles Clark now says that he
didn’t like the mumps at all. Most
ly because he couldn’t talk.
Many of our crowd took their
vacations the last of the year
and report a wonderful time,
among them were Mary Jane Mc
Call and Mary Kilpatrick.
