Two THE MILL WHISTLE Miition Around the Mills Bedspread Mill Mrs. Frank Jones Sallie Gray’s husband still remains very sick. Hope he will soon be well again, Sallie. Vallie Murry is out sick. Hurry back, Vallie. Elmira is lost without you. If a certain boy don’t go to Bassett oftener than he has been, a certain girl will be signing her name Mrs. and it won’t be Carter either. How about a trip to Nashville next week, Mollie? Lillian “Lemons” Chilton had the mis fortune to lose a very pretty bracelet in the mill last week. It is a small one set with three blue sets. Finder please re turn it to her. Mary Bell, that pink dress with hearts on it makes me wish I was young again and had one like it. You’ll let me wear it some time? Okey, that’s a bar gain. Mr. and Mrs. George Scott and fam ily visited Mrs. Scott’s brothers and sisters in Charlotte and Gastonia over the week-end. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Grogan wish to thank their friends in the Bedspread mill for the nice gift. We’re sure you are quite welcome, Minnie, and sin cerely hope Roy keeps on improving. Mr. and Mrs. George Scott and chil dren visited in Ridgeway and Martins ville Sunday. The home of Mr. and Mrs. George Patterson was the scene of a lovely wedding Wednesday afternoon, April 10th, when their son, Russell, who is home on thirty days leave, was mar ried to Miss Mary Frances Duke, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Duke. After a short wedding trip they returned home Sunday night. And what a sup per—it makes my mouth water to hear his Aunt Henrietta talk about it! Hurry up, somebody, and get married and in vite me to your wedding. (I meant to say “wedding supper or dinner.”) Wonder what causes the sparkle in Elmira Martin’s eyes. Could it be a re flection from the dazzling gem on her third finger? Mr. Bradley Davis of Axton was a recent guest of Mr. and Mrs. Hurley Vestal. Did you see the little red plane circl ing overhead about three o’clock? Well, that was “Shorty” Hurley Vestal taking his first plane ride with Owen Davis, recently discharged from the Air Crops. Pfc. Mason Eastridge of Camp Le- jeune,. N. C., visited relatives in Spray last week-end. He is the nephew of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Jones. Mary Smith said what she knew would keep ’til next week. Or some thing to that effect. Madeline Oakley was the honoree at a lovely birthday dinner March 31. Had sc cake with candles and all the fixings. Her sisters, Anna Laura Oakley and Mrs. Denny, were joint hostesses at the affair. Four nephews sang “Happy Birthday” as she entered the dining room. Her plate was marked by a lovely corsage of yellow roses from Sykes Florist. How old? “Don’t you know it is bad manners to ask a woman her age? You should be ashamed of yourself. But she’s not so very old.” Mrs. Stella Talbot and Mrs. Hagler had supper with Mrs. Talbott’s daugh ter, Mrs. Harrison Woods, last Sunday night. We are glad to have Mrs. Helen Gilley with us again. She has been out quite a while due to illness. Helen, we all unite in extending our deepest heart felt sympathy in the death of your mother. Mrs. Martha Gilley had been sick for quite a while but her death was un expected. We welcome the following new em ployees: Walter Wade, Ralph Tucker, Robert Hefifinger, David Whitt, and Sallie Gray. Ernest Macy said he and his family spent last Sunday at Fieldale visiting his pappy. Mr. Macy, I wouldn’t stand for that. Folks will think you’re his grandpa if you do. Wanted: Anyone having a pair of chaps and spurs, please see James Gal- limore of the Bedspread Weave room. He is going to Texas to ride the range and don’t want the Texans to know he is a tenderfoot. James, you’d better leave the Texas ponies alone. They’re worse than a motorcycle. William Meeks says he don’t know anything except on himself and he cer tainly wasn’t telling that. Anyway, his mother is much better and will soon be able to take the cast off her shoulder and arm. And that is good news. Bill. Miss Audrey Vestal of Bridgewater College is home for a few days, return ing to school Wednesday, April 3rd. Gene and Tinker Hayden must have mixed business with their pleasure for several new looms have arrived and are being put up as fast as possible. They are larger than the old ones. Gene promised to have some news when he came back but he’s probably afraid his Virginia might read The Mill Whistle. And we don’t blame him much. April 29, 1946 Chatter Vs. Jabber Central Warehouse Office By Glennice Jones . If all the girls who are getting dia-" mond rings were to leave when they get married, the entire Warehouse office would have to be re-staffed. Two more have been added since the last issue of the “Whistle.” They are Ozelle Harter and Bertha Mae Pyron, both beaming and blushing like red roses all the time. Over the holidays Elaine Nance became Mrs. Joseph Carter. We all wish her the very best of luck. The next bride will be Minnie Gilley—we think! Billie Marshall has begun her annual suntan spree. She does get the love liest tan and is already a few shades darker than the rest of us. By the time her vacation arrives she will look as though she had already been. We haven’t been able to find out too much over the week-end but Margie Perry and her boy friend went to Nat ural Bridge; Gloria Carter went to the Skyline Drive on a picnic; yours truly went to Roanoke; Lucy Conner went to Radford; and Minnie Gilley also went to the Skyline Drive. Ed Martin is on his vacation this week and reports are that he intends to take a plane trip to Indianapolis, Ind., but no one knows for what purpose. Time and news are short this week but maybe they’ll be better for the nextJ issue. " Karastan News By Doris N.
