Six THE MILL WH I STL E January 21, 1946 BLASTS From the Draper Office Carrie Hill and Evelyn Lewis CHARTER MEMBERS OF CAROLINA COUNCIL " Locks like the first issue of the New Year caught us “napping,” but we’ll try and do better from now on. Things happen so fast and time passes so quick ly, we should all be more alert at all times and always try and do our best. Our loss is the Laboratory’s gain. Yes, we were sorry to lose Hazel Powell, who was timekeeper and color control girl in the Wool Card room. Hazel has ac cepted a transfer to the Laboratory at Spray. We are missing you. Hazel, but here’s hoping you like your new home. Well, finally it has been accomplished. Yes Gladys Smith has been trying to get to go to Danville since the first of De cember and last Sunday her dream was realized. Glad you had a nice time, Gladys. Welcome and congratulations to Ed Barksdale. Ed has received a promotion since he returned from service and to work for the Company. He has been promoted to Head of the Cost depart ment at Draper. On the other hand, we have lost Mr. Roy Seay, who is being transferred to Spray as assistant to Mr. Pitcher, of the Finance Department. Carrie Hill and Kathlen Barrow spent the week-end in Burlington. They re port a wonderful time and say girls, you know we all love those nylons. Wish I had a friend! , Hazel Squires is floating on air. She received a long distance call from her husband, Dan, Monday morning. Says he is on his way home and practically a civilian again. Well, girls, I must put you wise. If you hear any funny, yet queer noises around this place between eight and five, you need not be alarmed, that is, if it sounds anything like music. Carrie is trying a bit of vocalizing lately. Just a warning girls—I think she is harmless. Lucille Cherry is again a widow so-to- speak. Husband, Russell has accepted a position as manager and bookkeeper of a newspaper office in Wilmington, N. C. Our deepest sympathy goes out to Archie May, in the recent loss of his father, and also to “Dummy” in the loss of his mother. The “No Name Club” girls will hold their January meeting in the home of Vera Belle Francis, with Lucille Cherry as co-hostess, on Thursday, January 17. Trust that you girls will make our first meeting of the New Year one of good attendance. Anyone, who has an extra apartment, house, or such, please get in touch with Gladys Smith, Draper office. Gladys surely does want to go to housekeeping, but no house—no furniture— how can she? She says she is desperate! Who will come to her rescue! She has notified the Funeral Home, so she can have first W A. Cooper was born in Forsyth county and worked for the Fries Manufac turing Company in Winston-Salem before coming to us.

Says everything sure looks rosy, but Cody is really hav ing trouble with his eyes. Hope it is nothing serious, cause we know how precious our eyes are. Lucy Walker’s boy friend from Floyd, Va., visited her this past week-end. Thought for the day: “This is your hour.”—Luke 22;53. Chatter vs. Jabber By Glennice Jones Love is definitely in bloom in the Cen tral Warehouse Office. Two of our girls (Mildred Hodges and Elaine Nance) actually received long-distance tele phone calls in one day. Did that account for the pencils left in the trimmer by some absent-minded one? We don’t have to worry about the clock being wrong anymore. Minnie Gil ley has been wearing a new watch (which no one could ever Steel either!) For information to those who did not know: Mrs. Robert Joyce’s name is Min- Gloria Carter visited in Philadelphia and Washington over the week-end. Girls, she saw the Washington Monu ment and Cary Grant, of movie fame, at the same time. We are glad to see Lucy Dillon back after an illness of several days. Ernestine Cox’s brother, Glenn, is also in the States. Both, Glenn and Everette Cox arc expected home at any time. Clarence Martin (Mildred Hodges and only) arrived in Draper after a wilcW taxi ride from Norfolk. Ed Martin is the “Dagwood” of our office. We hear Florence even had to put sugar in his coffee. His dog. Butch, has been trained to hold the door open in true “Blondie” fashion. Kathleen and Bland Hunnicutt have gone to housekeeping in the Shuff apart ment across the street. You housewives, should get Bland to teach you how to hang curtains. Doris Hopkins was happily surprised at a birthday party given in her honor Saturday night. We are sorry to hear of the illness of Malvine Ferguson’s mother, Mrs. Oscar Ferguson. Most any time we can hear Elaine Nance singing. Yes, it’s “Waiting For The Train To Come In.” FIVE LITTLE WORDS There are five little words, I d have you know; They are “Pardon me,” “Thank you,’ and “Please.” Oh, use them quite often wherever you go; There are few words more useful thim these. ■ These five little words are filled with . power That money or fame cannot give; So commit them to memory this very hour. And use them as long as you live.
