She was made very happy in spite of her sickness by a recent visit from her daughter, Mrs. Beadie John ston, of Wilmington, Del. Wonder why Billy spends so much time talking to Snead when he comes to the finishing department. Maybe it’s because she has a cute daughter.

Janie’s still wishing she was sixteen. Too bad, Janie, Frank already ha-s a girl anyway, and is she cute—so you wouldn’t have a chance. Since the cutting department has been moved down stairs to the carving room, we certainly do miss Clay, Coop er and Ed. Come to see us soon, boys. The main topic of conversation with the men these days ts “Rabbit Hunt ing.” You should hear the Wilmoth brothers talk of their experiences Sat urday. Roy, are you still mad at Rob ert for catching more rabbits than you did. Mrs. Mable Kiser and daughter, Edna, •spent last Friday night with sick rela tives in Reidsville. Even Jim stopped working long enough to go hunting too—^he says he caught three rabbits and one o’possum. You’ve got them all beat, Jim. Keep up the good work. Does anyone know who the good looking SPAR was that visiting our department Monday?
