Chatter vs. Jabber By Glennice Jones A lot of us have been wishing for some “June in January” weather, but John Eggleston got so tired of waiting for it, he just took off to Florida. We’re expecting to see him back with a glori ous tan. We have already “heard tell” of the well-deserved good time he is enjoying. Have you heard that Ed Martin has to take off his glasses to really notice anything worthwhile? Becky Pender and Margaret Turman have been ill for a few days. We have a new name for Mildred Hodges, who has now reached ninety pounds on the scales! Just call her “Fatty.” We finally cornered .Jimmy Lamar who stated that the Designing has to guard their secrets! They must have a second atom discovery there, for we can’t find out a thing about them! Did Jesse Burton finally get a haircut after all those trips to Leaksville? The Addressograph Department en joyed a scrumptuous dinner at Nancy Matlock’s home on the seventeenth in honor of .her birthday. It was quite a thrill to have two sol diers visit us at once the other day. They were Dan Cox, who has been vis iting in the home of his cousin, Ozelle Harter, and Clyde Dillon, who has been visiting his sister, Lucy Connor. Lucy has heard that her brother, Jabe Dillon, is at Fort Bragg. “Humpty Dumpty” had a great fall, but our own Nancy Matlock had one, too, when the beautiful bed fell, when she went visiting the other night. Those wings are so bright that we could hardly tell just what was com ing, but imagine our surprise when we saw Elaine Nance and it was she who was wearing them! We haven’t started a bureau of any kind! No! But Christine Martin would like to meet the young man, too! Yes, red is very becoming, we agree.
