Without mentioning any name we’ll
just tell you a certain little blonde is
bubbling over with happiness. Must
have been that telephone conversation
with T-5 Rufus Shelton, who has just
arrived in New York.
We extend our sincere sympathy to
Joe Warren, whose father, Lee Warren,
passed away August 22.
Happy to have John Robinson and
Cal Shelton on the job again.
New-comers to the Rayon are: George
Overby, Frances Ferguson, Faye Carter,
Leona Heffinger, and Mary Thompson.
We greet you and hope you shall enjoy
working with us.
Just heard why Valma Hall is grin
ning from ear to ear. A new grandson
was born August 27 and is he a proud
gramp?
It’s believed that Nell Marie Webster
is happier than a lark lately. “Red” is
coming home.
Everyone will be proud to know that
Nettie Durham is recuperating rapidly
and expects to be home again very soon.
The whole Weave Room, especially
Jamie Casey, seems to envy “Tippy”
Robinson. A Goat farm started it all.
We sure do have a versatile secretary.
Yep! now Annie Ruth paints during her

Neal Shively: Rooster Killer
Neal went out to feed his chickens
one day last week. He spied something
he took to be a wart on the foot of his
favorite rooster. Well, Neal cut the wart
off, the tee off, and part of the foot off.
Imagine his surprise next morning when
he found the rooster dead—a 10-pound
rooster at that, with meat as scarce as
it is! Next time, Neal, when you find a
chicken with a wart on its toe, cut off
its head and save the chicken.
