NOTICE AN OPEN LETTER TO SANTA CLAUS Dearest Santa: Thought we had better get our letter to you, since we don’t want you to forget us. We know that the war is over and you will just have everything we want this year. So here goes our want-list: Lucille Hedgecock, an electric stove—not a toy. Wanda, a 1947 Oldsmobile. Gertrude, a Pontiac. Gladys wants you to bring her husband home—also a radio. For, Santa, Gladys says when her hus band gets here, they are taking a trip to Florida. They want sweet music and a Florida moon. Now listen, Santa, please bring Marie McPherson a great big doll. Ora wants a red Terraplane so people won’t know if she is go ing or coming. Eula would like to have a re^ frigerator. Dorothy would like to have a husband—rich preferred. Mj-rtle Smith also waints a huf=- banu—if he has gobs of money, and will go to the farm with her., Dica Young would appreciate a red painted jeep. Amalie wants you to bring her husband home. Ruby Smith wants her boy friend from Japan. Now, Santa, Grace wants an elec tric sewing machine so she can sew up the seams of her dresses— also nuts, fruits and candy. Please, Santa, we have three others who would appreciate new cars—Lucille Winningham, a Ply mouth, Ruby Hinkle, a Dodge; and Mary Cox, a Chevrolet. Altah Wilson will be very hap py if you will bring her son who is at Manila, home for Christ mas. Santa, there are several of our folk out of work today, but they have all been very good this year, so don’t forget them, bring them just what they want. Please don’t forget our soldiers who are away from home this fine Christmas, please give them all our love. Santa, don’t forget Mr. Furr. He is our boss, and a real nice man, so please bring him a iy4(i Pontiac sedan. Best wishes, Santa, Full Fashion Finishing Room We know Christmas is getting near by the signs. Everyone was excited in the looping room when names were drawn. The favorite topics of conversation seem to be “what do you want for Xmas?” If anybody has a remedy to give for starting a car these cold morn ings, a certain fixer in the Knit ting room would like to know it. He’s been having quite a time of late getting to the bus stop. He even lost a pound or two. Mr. Clark is smiling once more now that he’s settled in his new home. It has been suggested we give Mrs. Baker a pair of skates for Christmas to help her get to the milk truck quicker. Think it may help? ; We enjoy the music each day. You should have seen Oarrie Banks when her brother came in the other morning. Boy! Was she happy! Mary Lou is still mourning six puppies which froze to death re cently. Lillie Mae has started a new fad in coat decorations. One day last week she wore a coat that had been hanging in a closet since last winter. A “dirt-dauber” had built his nest in the sleeve. We sure are glad to see Mr. Amos able to be out again. Finishing Room Here’s a secret: “Ma” Culler has said at last she can take a bath. They are having their water put in. Said she hadn’t had a bath since she left Virginia. We all hope that Rachel has a nice time on her trip to California. Sorry to hear that Mrs. Hauser fell and hurt her shoulder. Hurry back to work. We miss you! Hope everyone had a real nice time during the holidays. Mr. and Mrs. Smith, we think your baby is cute. Especially — those big blue eyes. Finishing Room The top turners welcome Alice Neese with them and hope she will enjoy working with them. Gee! What a lucky girl Irene is, receiving a watch from over seas! Bessie, how do you like your new location on Park Street? Dot, what . . . with your eyes? Nellie Thomas is out sick. We sincerely hope for her a speedy recovery. Ida Mae had company from Nor folk for Thanksgiving. We all enjoyed little Edwin Glenn’s visit with us last week. We are all looking forward to the Chi'istmas party. IN APPRECIATION Marvin Workman, who has serv ed as foreman, looper and seam- er fixer in the full fashioned plant for the past three years, is leav ing our company to go into the grocery business. The seamers, loopers, inspectors, menders and Melrose employees in general would like to take this op portunity to express their appre ciation to Marvin for the efficient manner in which he has carried out his duties and for the spirit of cooperation he has shown. Marvin has made many friends while working here at Melrose and we are surely going to miss him but we all wish his good luck and success in his new work. Marvin, if you get hold of any of those “hard to get” items, in your grocery store, REMEMBER us! DRAWING NAMES Employees in several depart ments have already drawn names. It is suggested that, inasmuch as most employees seem to be agree able to the plan, that all exchange of gifts take place at the Party. Each department will have its own set-up there. TO EMPLOYEES Heretofore, under the provisions of our Group Insurance Policy covering employees entitled to benefits on account of the cost of Special Hospital services incurred during hospital confinement, pay ment has been made only for cer tain types of charges as specified in your Group insurance certificate up to a maximum of five times the daily benefit. We are pleased to inform you that the Metropolitan Life Insur ance Company has announced that on all approved claims for hospital benefits where hospitalization com mences hereafter, or commenced on and after October 23, 1945, the restriction as to Special Hospital Services has been removed. Here after, these benefits will be paya ble for the actual amounts charged for anesthetics (and for the ad ministration thereof) received dur ing such confinement and for the actual amounts charged by the hos pital for all Special Hospital Ser vices other tnan services by phy sicians or special nurses provided that the total payment for all such charges shall not exceed five times the daily benefit. THE LIGHTER VEIN Needing a new secretary, the firm’s president decided to have applicants judged by a psycholo gist. Three girls were interviewed together. “What do two and two make?” the psychologist asked the first. “Four,” was the prompt answer. To the same question the second girl replied: “It might be 22.” The third girl answered: “It might be 22 and it might be four.” When the girls had left the psy chologist turned triumphantly to the prexy. “There,” he said, that is what psychology does. The first girl said the obvious thing. The second smelled a rat. The third knew all the answers. Now, which girl will you have?” The president did not hesitate; “I’ll take the blonde with the blue eyes,” he said. A tough sergeant strode into a hut. “All right, you lazy apes, fall out!” he yelled. The boys grab bed their hats and swarmed out side, except one who idly blew smoke rings at the ceiling. “Well!,” screamed the sergeant. “Well,” answered the rookie, “There were a lot of them, weren’t there?” Son: “Dad, what is the defini tion of discretion?” Dad; “That, my boy, is what a man learns to use only after he is too old for it to do him any good.” —•— A recent report reveals that 12 especially developed, high speed machines automatically produce 98 per cent of all the glass light bulbs used in this country. A wedding ring is like a tourni quet—it stops your circulation. XMAS COMMITTEES Social Hall 3:30 Thursday. All departments and plants to be represented. Mrs. Jones: “How children’s tastes do change!” Mrs. Smith: “Yes, when my two were small, Johnny just loved sol diers, and Mary was crazy about brightly painted dolls. Now Mary is crazy about soldiers, and John loves every painted doll he sees.” A hostess serving her guests re marked to one of the gentlemen, “I should not be offering you wine. You are head of the Temperance League.” “Oh, no,” he replied, “I am the head of the Vice League.” “Well,” said the hostess, “I knew there was something I should not offer you.” —•— Old Lady: “Here’s a penny, my good man. How did you become so destitute?” Tramp; “I was like you, mum— always givin’ away vast sums of money to the poor and needy.” —•— “I hear you and the leading lady are on the outs.” Electrician; “Yes, it was one of those quick change scenes with the stage all dark. She asked for her tights and I thought she said her lights.” Passenger: “Give me a round- trip ticket.” Agent; “Where to?” Passenger; “Back to here, of course” Patient; “Doctor, why does a small cavity feel so large to the tongue?” Dentist: “Just the natural ten dency of the tongue to exaggerate, I suppose.” Neighbor: A person who bor rows things. — • — Dere Sirz: Pleez send me my money back. After taking six bot tles of your corn syrup, my feet aint no beter. Haircut: A load off one’s mind. She reached below her dimpled knee Into her rolled-down stockings. And there she found a roll of bills; “Why don’t you keep it in a bank ?” Inquired the nosey prier. “The principal is the same,” she said, But the interest here is higher.” Ah, me; twas sweetly shocking! —•— Is “trousers” singular or plural? They are singular at the top and plural at the bottom. It was their first date and they were both thinking of the same thing. She called it mental telep athy—he called it beginner’s luck. —•— Salesman; “Can I interest you in an attachment for your type writer.” Executive; “Nothing doing. I am still paying alimony because of the atachment I had for my last one.” —, Diner: “I’ll have a portion of chicken. It must be a cockerel— and this year’s bird, and nothing but the leg will do.” Waiter; “Very good, sir. Right or left leg, sir?”
