Weaving Dept Weaveslied Party On December 21, 1950, a group of the Weaveshed people gathered in the Field House for a delicious barbecued chicken supper served by Medie Lindsey.

Mr. Den ton lives at Lamm’s Coffee Shoppe in South Rocky Mount, and would appreciate company at any time. SJ^llpathy Notes We extend our deepest sympathy to Dave Nelms who lost his moth er, Mrs. Maggie Nelms, January 11, 1951; and to Mrs. Nellie Rob bins whose brother, Clifton Eas on, died on January 11, 1951. Come And Gone Ole Santa Claus has come and gone and he made many people happy this year. Wrist watches, rings, new shirts, etc., were very much in evidence following the old boy’s visit. Among the lucky ones was Owen Solmon. Santa brought him a new Shakespeare fibre glass fly rod. The neighbors say that it is dangerous to get within a hundred yards of his house these days. Good Old Santa Claus The first shift weaveshed drew names to exchange Christmas gifts and it turned out to be quite an enjoyable thing for everyone con cerned. When all the gifts were wrapped and delivered to the foreman’s office, a real Santa Claus was called in to distribute the presents. Everyone had a grand time, and John Amos Dail, dress ed in his Santa Claus suit was perfect. Tough Luck Gus Riley had some tough luck recently. When he was helping a friend build a house he met with an accident and injured his hand pretty badly. He has been walking around with his hand in a cast ever since. We hope he will soon On/* ...Se eruice en be alright. Gerald “Jerry” Richardson Fiye, (above), left Caromount January 8, 1951 to enlist in the United States Army Air Force. He is stationed at San Antonio, Texas for training.

San Antonio, Texas Herman B. Roberson (formerly in Engineering, now in the U. S. Army) has been moved from his original station in Korea to an other town (name unknown) where he is guarding prisoners. Herman says they use the helmet for everything from something to eat from to a bath tub. He said he walked five miles one day to get a chance to take a shower. On the whole, life in Korea sounds pretty rough. They say the prisoners are mean and hard to handle. There isn’t much that we can do for an individual in the service; but we can always keep those let ters going to them. If you haven’t written to the boys you know in the service, do so now. Mail call is one of the bright spots in their life when they are far from home. New address: Cpl. Herman B. Roberson ER 33859376 92nd M. P. Bn. A.
