You have heard the old saying that
you can’t get blood out of a turnip. Well
it’s almost that hard to get news out of
the Sheeting Mill.
Mrs. Ethel Troxler, Mrs. Eva Mead-
ford worked a whole solid month with
out being either absent or tardy. Good
work, gals. We know your husbands are
proud of you.
. John Milton Gregory has been hon
orably discharged from the U. S. Navy,
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John
Gregory, of Draper.
Mr. Robert Moore, Miss Lillie Mead
ows, Mrs. Lena Barham, and Mr. and
Mrs. Billie Williams were shopping in
Burlington during the week-end.
Wanted—A trash can. See Mrs. Mary
Hawks of the Sheeting-Spooling depart
ment.
Has anyone seen Nannie’s shoes? She
can’t find them anywhere. If you have,
please return them and receive reward.
Wanted—Ten experienced dairymen—
must be sober, and honest. Will pay
good salary. If interested, see Joe Will
Pulliam of the Sheeting-Weave room.
Mrs. Kate Wilson—doesn’t know any
^news. But, she does know how to give
you a big smile.
We have a certain fellow who is
employed in the Sheeting-Weave de
partment. His wife told him to shut up
and he thought she said stand up. And
the .result was a crick in the neck. How
about it, Willie Coon?
Wanted—^A good, dependable, sober
Here is a picture of a girl and a cat.
At first glance you’ll say there is noth
ing unusual about it except that the
girl is very pretty. She’s Miss Ruth Hall,
of Draper, and she’s 18 years old. The
other unusual thing about this picture
is the cat—who is exactly the same age
as the girl.
chauffeur; one who can drive a ’41
Buick. See Jack Steward of the Sheet
ing-Weave room.
Central Warehouse Office—
By Glennice Jones
Another ray of sunshine came from
the Billing department the other day
when Minnie Gilley came in with a
gorgeous hunk of diamond on the usual
finger. Could it be that new civilian.
Jack Steele? (Who else!)
It seems Nancy Matlock was inspired
by hearing the great Melchior last week
for she rendered a solo showing unusual
ability in the First Christian church on
Sunday.
Bertha Mae Pyron had better stay
home from now on or she may put the
telephone company out of business.
Bertha Mae was among the ailing fol
lowing the “Banquet” the other night.
We are glad to have her back.
The Billing department is carrying
on without Iva Pendleton, who is a
patient at the Leaksville Hospital. We
are already missing her, and looking
forward to having her back.
Girls, attention: Malvene Ferguson’s
brother. Chief Elwood Ferguson, is en
joying a furlough at home.
Mamie and Roy Burcham are “aunt”
and “uncle” again .to Mr. and Mrs. Ira
Burcham’s new son.
Kathleen Hunnicutt has left us to
take up housekeeping. She has gracious
ly invited all of us to see her.
Patsy Pyron, Bertha Mae’s sister,
married Lonnie Smith in a quiet cere
mony at the bride’s home on Saturday.
Roanoke was the destination of Mal
vene Ferguson who went shopping over
the week-end. We heard about the
spring outfit, Malvene!
Elaine Nance spent the day in Fort
Bragg last week. Looking over the
place Joe has to live, we suppose.
Mildred Hodges went down to get her
Clarence (Martin) when he received
his discharge at Norfolk. We have
noticed that certain smile every day
now, and she doesn’t watch the mail
any more.

Two Kinds of Success
Theodore Roosevelt once said that
there are two kinds of success. One is
the very rare kind. That is genius. The
other is that known to the average man
—the average statesman, the average
public servant, the average soldier. He
is the man who has merely ordinary
qualities that he shares with his fel
lows, but he has developed those ordin
ary qualities to an extraordinary de
gree.
Aviation in 1955
Employment in the aviation industry,
which has been estimated by the Civil
Aeronautics Administration to have
been 142,300 in 1939, is expected to
jump to over 900,000 in 1955. Factories
should employ 450,800 persons; air and
non-air carrier operations will account
for 356,000; airports will need 59,600,
and the government will have a force
of 25,000 connected with aviation.
