Right Off The Floor! NEWS OF OUR NEW YORK OFFICES Karastan, 295 Fifth Avenue Domestics, 82 Worth Street No Nuts to You—And W’hy Domestics salesman, Harry Staples, was thwarted in his favorite philan thropy this year. Lo, these many sea sons, our kindly Harry has been send ing the good folks at Worth Street a toothsome sack of choice pecans right from the heart of the South. This year as usual, he ordered them and left in structions for their distribution in the office. But they didn’t come. The supplier was queried, several times— no answer. Worth Street waited. Har ry fretted. Still no pecans. So, just for the record we’re giving the facts. They may come yet. But whether they do or not, salesman Staples DID NOT break faith—he likes us as well as ever. Miss Rose Gill has been transferred from Worth Street to Karastan to re place Miss Grace Salley. The girls here will miss you, Rose. Karastan, you’re lucky! General Sales Manager, Robert Gra ham, became a grandfather again on November 20, with the birth of Alan Martin Graham, in Chicago.

ON JOB FOR UNCLE SAM (Continued from Page Nine) was a long, newsy one, but written in longhand, so the linotype operator couldn’t find time to fix it up. A few weeks ago Joe was transferred from Cochran Field, Macon, Ga., and likes his new camp just fine. He is now at tending school to learn “blind flying” (sounds interesting, but dangerous!). He adds he is the only boy there from the Tri-City. Joe, we’ll look over our files real carefully soon and let you know if other Tri-City boys are in the vicinity. You want the address of Roger L. Joyce. Glad we can accom modate. It is: Pvt. Roger L. Joyce, ASN 34171705, Co. A. 550th Inf. APO 832, Care Postmaster, New Orleans, La. You were no more happy to receive the cigarettes than the company was to send them to you. He wishes us all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Joe’s address: 685th B.F.'r. Sqdn., Walnut Ridge Basic Flying School, Walnut Ridge, Arkansas. A Christmas card from “somewhere out there”, says: “May the Mill Whis tle and all its staff have a Joyous Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.” We would, John, if we could have you boys back. The card is from Pvt. John H. Mize, ASN 13035813, Hdq & Hdq Sqdn, 46th Service Group, APO 920, Care Postmaster, San Francisco, Calif. The last letter was from Pvt. Robert F. Thomas, who wrote us just to give a change of address. However, we’ve had a letter from him in these pages. so those of you who have been writ ing him at his former address had bet ter change it to: Medical Det. Station Hospital, 8th C.A.S.C., Camp Chaffee, Arkansas. LETTER TO SANTA (Continued from Page Six) desk. And fill her other stocking with anything except towels! All work and no play makes Jill a dull girl, and that may apply to Dorothy Manley, Karastan Office. Dorothy ■_pends a lot of time and thought on her church work, so for variety please bring her some naughty books, some poker chips, and some marijuana cig arettes. Ray Warner, at Rayon Mill, isn’t in terested in anything except work. Please bring him about four more jobs, and also have Floyd Strader fired so Ray can take over the presideircy of Junior Council in addition to the other five jobs. It is hard to decide what Maggie Harris, Woolen Mil,, should have. She has a Treasury Flag; the first Safety Certificates and their blankets satisfy even the War Department. Just bring her a big doll, Santa, and three bags of chocolate candy bars. Merrill Conner, at Bedspread, doesn’t have time to play, so please bring him a watch with twenty-four figures on it (half hours, too) instead of twelve, so he can find that much more time. And don’t forget to make the watch an automatic winder; another time saver. And for our baby reporter, Gladys Sumner, Sheeting, who joined us re cently, bring her the wisdom of ex perience, a nice little boy friend in uniform, and the ability to get good and mad once in a while, to offset her cheerful disposition. It is the usual custom to add: “PTuils, nuts and candy”, but please dear Santa, leave off the fruits of the rasp berry, sour grapes and lemons; leave off the “nuts to you”, and all the candy coated criticism. And Oh, yes, don’t forget to bring my editor a nice big raise in pay. Your little friend, THE MILL WHISTLE. V . . . — Promotions This Month Towel Mill—Lewis E. Talbert, from battery hand to weaver.
