WASH ROOM
Several of the boys have found
the time and money to have va
cations at the beach.
Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Long, and
son Clyde, Jr., have returned
with a good sun-tan from a week
cpent at Carolina Beach.
E. B. and Margaret Huffman
enjoyed a week at Myrtle Beach
—those cards you sent made us
all want to be at the beach, Mar
garet.
“Dynamite” Perry is at Myrtle
Beach this week, and already
some “stories” have drifted back
up here telling us of the fun he is
having.
Worth Davis has taken a trip
to Texas which will keep him
away from his work about three
weeks.
If Carolina Beach had a news
paper with a “social section” we
would probably find therein the
following: Among the visitors
from Winston-Salem are Mr. and
Mrs. W. A. Mcllwee, Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Trotter. These charm
ing visitors are staying at “The
Red, White and Blue”—and Sat
urday nite the boys seemed to be
enjoying themselves to the full
est.
From what we hear Hub Long-
worth is not having so much luck
with his gigging these nites. He
took Shep Transou with him the
other nite, but Shep lost interest
and started out thru the com
field when a snake wrapped itself
around his leg.
We are glad to have Mr. George
Phillips back at work again after
his prolonged illness.
Bob Reynolds and a party of
friends did a tour around thru
the mountain country last Sunday.
He included Blowing Rock, Lin-
ville. Spruce Pine and the Scenic
Parkway Drive in his round.
We hate to hear that Olean
Deal is going to leave us. It
seems that he is going back to
the mountain country.
NIGHT FORCE
Mrs. Dennis Norman is out sick
with an infected eye. We hope
she will soon be able to return to
work.
Mr. Dawson Cozart has been on C.
the sick list, but is now able to
be on the job. We heard he had C.
too much Fourth of July.
Gary Floyd says he stays tired
all the time. We wonder what
ails him anyway.
Several new folks have joined
the night force. Among them are
Mrs. Jack Shoaf, Ambrose Stone-
man and others. We hope you
will like us.
So far as we know none of the
night folks have taken a vaca
tion, but we hope to sometime.
Anyway it is thrilling to listen in
on some of the plans, especially
week-end trips.
Luther Orrell says he knows
why M. Brown is sick so much of
late.
Two ladies are right now plan
ning a big week-end trip but
there seems to be some mountains
in the way. If they make the
trip I will let you know.
Tucker spends every week-end
in Elkin. He sure seems to like
the town or the girls one, we
can’t find out which.
Thomas Smitherman you seem
to be getting up in society since
you have a chauffeur to drive
your car.
Evander Fishel says he feels
tolerably good these days and
Evander we wonder just how
good someone else feels.
Hugh Ladd was the cake good
or did you eat any of it?
Somehow we can’t get much
news from the third shift boys.
They seem to be keeping them
selves pretty much out of the
news.
Luther Hanks and R. G. Gentry
have changed shifts. We wish
them both good luck.
Naomi Wooten and Pauline
Gentry seem to both be in the
same boat and the sailing has
been very rough. Fair sky has be
gun to show once again and they
seem to be out of danger.
Miss Naomi Wooten spent the
week-end of July 24th with her
father at Harmony, N. C.

Our good friend Mr. Ralph C.
Getsinger spent several days with
us last week and happened to
show your reporter a letter from
his little daughter, which letter
I am going to quote below. By
way of introduction I will say that
Doris is the little girl’s name and
Mickey the dog. They live in De
troit but Mrs. Getsinger and the
children are spending the sum
mer in Ocean City, N. J. and this
letter was written to her Daddy in
Detroit.
“Dear Daddy:
“I have read your letter and I
took particular notice in the par
agraph about Mickey. I think
we should have him down, so do
the boys. Half of the summer is
practically gone and very fast and
I think we should have Mick down
for the rest of the summer. He
makes such a nice playmate. Nat
urally Mickey is happy there be
cause he does not know where we
are. If he knew he could come
down here his tail would be like
this (and she draws a picture of
Mickey and says that he is sup
posed to be wagging his tail), in
stead of like this (and she draws
another picture of his tail be
tween his legs). Barbara sent me
a picture of Mickey that she had
taken and it certainly made me
feel good to see him sitting up.
This is me begging you to send
Mickey down (and she draws a
picture of herself down on her
knees.) You don’t know how glad
I would be if you would bring
Mickey down. Put him in the
baggage car when you come
down.
From
Doris (Cockie Spaniel) Get
singer.
P. S. Don’t forget about Mickey.
I miss you a lot too.”
Maybe when Doris gets back to
Detroit she will send us a picture
of her taken with Mickey and we
can have it put in The Blanket-
eer.

We are glad to welcome Hadley
Badgett to this department. We

Well, Robert Smitherman and
E. E. Shore, Jr. have returned
irom Columbia, S. C. where they
attended the National Guard
training camp. They are just as
happy to be back as we are to
have them.
Roy, we thought you were the
doctor around here, but it seems
to be Robert or Sweet Pea. I
think both are about to get ahead
of you.
Mr. and Mrs. Francis Jarvis,
Misses Hazel Jarvis and Levada
Hanks together with a party of
friends enjoyed a picnic supper
at the Greensboro Recreation
Park last week. A good time was
had by all.
Ogie: “Oh, you are just trying
to make me look dumb.”
Hazel: “Now, I didn’t have a
thing to do with that.”
SHIPPING DEPT.
I guess you all wonder why
Bessie Forbus has been singing all
these hill-billy songs lately. Well,
