Woolen Mill
By Wanda Thomas
Lots of good news this week, but
honest, some folks are so modest they
just don’t like to see their name in
headlines as “Scrubby” calls it.
Glenn, you and Virgie had better
hold the line. Cascade may call again.
Bet all that is very interesting, huh!
Who’s the fellow in the Card Room
who knows a good fox hole when he
sees it?
Gertrude certainly has had a time.
Been out in them thar hills of West
Virginia.
Hurry back, Mary Ruth, we miss you
lots and hope you will be well real
soon.
Tom Betts, you ought to be shot.
Next time you’d better use a flashlight
when getting out of your car.
It’s a pleasure to welcome Marie
Sedell and Edna Hailey to our office
force. Lillian, we hope you’ll enjoy
your new work too.
Got a real surprise when we got a
V-Mail from Drewry Ray, somewhere
in France. He Wants all his friends
to write. Says his mail is mighty
slow in getting to him so let’s all send
him a little note at least so he and our
other boys will know we are still pull
ing and thinking of them.
Who’s that lazy crowd who called
themselves squirrel hunting on Labor
Day at Rob Ray’s home?
Time to depart, but it won’t be long
’till next time, let’s hope.
