Chatter Vs. Jabber
Central Warehouse Office
By Gloria. Carter
So far as we can think there are just
two things to talk about this time. Our
two outings. On May 5h the Order and
Billing and Scheduhng Departments
went down to Camp Carolina for a
weiner roast. It was a lovely night—big
full moon and a gentle breeze swaying
the trees. What a romantic spot! Darn
it! No men!
On May 12th, since we had aU of 95
cents left over from the weiner roast,
we decided to have a big dance. Every
one seemed to have had a swell tirne,
even if the punch did taste a little
watery. Someone ought to have fixed
that though!
Grade Chatham decided to take a
few days of her vacation and spend it
in Lynchburg, Va., seeing her sister
graduate as a nurse. Glennice Jones
has been another vacationist, spending
her time in Roanoke. We’re heard
quite a bit of whispering about a cer
tain “Jack” since she got back. Glen
nice declares he’s the best - looking boy
she has ever seen and sighs with a far
away look in her eyes.
The circus was coming to town. John
Eggleston was all excited for he was
taking his little boy—so he said. When
the news came in that everything had
gone on to Martinsville, he was heart
broken and we know little Johnny was
too.
I know all of you would like to have
a new correspondent, so maybe next
week one of the girls that hasn’t had
the column yet can be prevailed upon.
