Hi~Ya Fellers: It soems a long time since vje»ve had a bull-session and I’ve missed it too, so lets g-et together here on the old ’’Hoover Rail” and see whats ccokin*• Glad you fe3J.ers like the popularity contest, the votes have been coming in steadily for those pretty girls. You know my ^vife says I'm sorta’ partial to beauti ful girls - the younger and more ’’curveace- ous”, the better, so I thought some of you might have a similar leaning, and would like a page full of lovely pictures to while away all those hours (?) when you don^t have any thing to do. Some of youse guys haven*t voted yet - What are you waiting for? Get busy and put your vote in the mail, it may bo just the one needed to place your girl as winner. You all understand, don’t you, that we want the married men as well as the sin gle ones to vote, theres no priority in this contest. So shoot »em in, pronto, V/e are proud this month to have Rev. Will Rollins with us - He is bringing you the little Sermon of the Month, found on the ’’Village Church” page, so be sure and read this fine message, ’’Preacher Will” is the eldest son of ’’Aunt Cordie” Rollins and a man, all Lawndale is proud of. He is at present pastorrof Trinity Methodist Church in Kannapolis, N,C, He has two sons in the service and his nephew, Captain Bill Eaker is serving Uncle Sam as a Chaplain, Some of the girls around here have decided since the Food l^ationing Program came in, that it v/ould be a'fine time to go on a diet. Wo are thinldiig in particular of one young lady, Mrs, JeSslyn Bridges, she’s on a very strict reducing diet, consisting iiiainly of ’’rabbit food”, you know lettuce and such stuff, ?Jid every time she loses a few pounds, she takes a new tuck in the side'of her dress to take up the slack - Each ,iOw tuck causes a gleam of pride in her eyes, equal to that of the old pioneers in the Indian Scouting Days, when for every Red-skin that bit-the-dust, a now notch was cut in thfeir gun-stock, I*ve been trying to get my wife and Pearle Sweezy to go on this diet also, but to date-they still think more of their 3-squares per day than they do a t’Sc'^.rlett 0»Hara” figure. Vie want to take this opportunity to publicly congratulate Professor Gary, on ”The Globe Girdler”, the news bulletin he edits for the boys and girls in service from Fallston. Its a newsy, hcmey and very entertaining little paper, showing plenty of originality and forethought'in its get-^p. 'And Prof, Gary has another reason to feel good these days - His son, Cpl, Kays Gary, stationed in London, recently won 1st prize in a contest sponsored by the Stars And Stripes, Kays» winning essay was entit led, Wlhy I Buy War Bonds”, Congratulations to this grand father end son team. Lots of the boys have been in on furlough this month, and we get a great kick out of Seeing and talking to them, I can’t tell you this fellers name, but he is tx Serge ant, and has just recently returned from North Africa, due to an injury - Well, the prop^^/ash around here, is*that he has fallen in love with his nurse, and now he goes around singing to himseK, ”I Don»t Wanta’ Get Well, I Don’t Wanta* Get Well, I’m In Love With A Beautiful Nurse,” Perhaps you’ve guessed by this time who he is — ^t (Continued on next page)
