Who Will Be Miss
Manufacturing Division?
Every day, often several times a
day, we' are asked: “Who is Miss Man
ufacturing Division?” That question
will be fully answered soon.
Although the vote wasn’t as heavy
as we had expected, due in a large
measure to the fact that Beauty Pic
tures issue reached the boys overseas
while they were quite busy landing in
France, we definitely have a Miss Man
ufacturing Division and there will be
something of real interest about the
contest in our next issue. Watch for it!
And we’d like to take this opportu
nity to thank everyone for their inter
est in the contest and their votes. It
was lots of work, also lots of fun, and
we are in hopes that' we can make the
Beauty Contest an annual affair.
CAMP BUTNER SOLDIERS
GIVE GOOD SHOW
Approximately 1500 people, at times
thrilled, at times convulsed with
laughter, witnessed the All-Soldier
Show at the Tri-City ball park Wed
nesday night, September 6. This was
the first of three textile rallies that
will feature this fine soldier show.
The show really -started at 5:30, when
the 45 members of the soldier troupe
and about an equal number of leading
citizens gathered at Meadow Greens to
enjoy a delicious picnic supper on the
lawn of the club house. Fried chicken,
country ham, watermelons, and all the
fixings were thoroughly enjoyed.
At 8 o’clock the show started at the
ball park. Despite intermittent show
ers that finally forced a halt to the
program, it was unanimously voted
one of the best -shows to be staged
here. Too much cannot be said of
the Camp Butner Band, which furnish
ed several numbers of both popular and
classical music.
The Camp Butner soldiers will re
turn for the second of the three rallies
on September 20. This rally will be
held at the Leaksville high school at
8 o’clock on that evening.
V . . . —
Contract.
A Philadelphia man called up a
birdstore the other day and said:
“Send me 30,000 cockroaches at
once.”
“What in heaven’s name do you
want with 30,000 cockroaches?”
“Well,” replied the householder, “I
am moving today and my lease says I
must leave the premises here in ex
actly the same condition in which I
found them.”
