Page Two CHATHAM BLANKETEER December 12, 1938 r EIJKTN MILL 1 Attractive Children Maxine Myers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Guy Myers, and June Hicks, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Hicks. They are six years of age. Both Mrs. Myers and Mrs. Hicks are employed in the BurUng Dept. BURLING DEPT.

Mr. and Mrs. Broadus Renegar had as their guests for the week end Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Renegar, of Lone Hickory. We extend our sympathy to Miss Lavassie Garris due to the death of her mother. Mrs. Reba Newman has been on the sick list but is able to be back on the job at this writing. Miss Bernice Eidson, sister of Mrs. Charles Wall, is seriously ill at the Hugh Chatham Memorial hospital. We wish for her a speedy recovery. WOOL DEPT. Beach Bell, Exalted Supreme Commander of the Tall Story Stooges, reports the formation of a new corporation—Stockton and Brandon, Fowl and Feather Beds. The Corporation was formed the first day of the hunting season, due to the accuracy of the big shots whose names it bears. The set up is as follows: Sam Bran don’s little boys haul the day’s shoot in little red wagons from the fields to the nearest country road where Sam’s trailer is load ed and driven to the highway. Thence a two-ton transfer truck carries on to the factory. Bell is publicity agent and says see him for a soft and downy Bob White feather mattress. They also have three sizes of drum sticks and bottom prices on the choicest cuts of quail. Now is the season when “My grandmother died,” or “My wife fell and broke her arm,” and “I’ll have to take off tomorrow.” In other words the bird season is here. Pinch hitting for the regular wool room reporter, who now has a “Fat” job on the grave yard shift, takes a little extra notice in order to get the up-to-the- minute news. We’ll be back with a flash in the next issue. Watch for an interesting item on Sen ator Dobson. To start it right our two bosses, Messrs. Hatch and Page, stole away for a few hours’ shooting up at Mr. Laster’s farm, the very first day. Mr. Laster says he sure hopes they’ll come back again, “cause they’re mighty nice boys and didn’t do his birds a bit of harm.” “Bugs” says that’s not true. He got one and Mr. Hatch scared a couple so badly they’ll never grow any more. Mr. Watt Cheek, who has been living with his father while he built an addition on his own home says that the addition is now finished and that he has moved back. He wants us to come and see him just as soon as the new rooms are put in order. We’re going to do that thing, Watt. Keep the jug handy all thg time. There’s no telling when we’ll drop in. WEAVING B Shift Mr. and Mrs. Calloway Hawks and Miss Nettie Adams, of Mt. Airy, were the Sunday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Couch. Mrs. Vena Darnell and children spent Saturday in Winston-Salem shopping. Mr. and Mrs. Felix Lane spent Sunday in Mt. View with Mr. and Mrs. Roy Key. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Darnell was the scene of a family reunion on Thanksgiv ing. Believe it or not: Nancy says she and Burrus ate six pounds of fish for supper the other night.

Mrs. Cora Day says the only news she knows is that she has worked in hog meat until she knows nothing, sees nothing and tastes nothing but grease. Miss Ruth Campbell, of Coolee- mee, is spending this week with Mrs. Tom Lewis, of Jonesville. Wonder if anyone can tell us why Mr. Paul Haynes struts around so big here lately. Mrs. S. A. Foster entertained her son, Charlie, on his 15th birthday, Friday, Dec. 2. Forty young people enjoyed the party. Curtis Hall is having a time, he says he just as soon sit on naked springs as weave this up holstering. Mr. Tucker (you all know him as the pattern builder) went vis iting the other day and got a terrible fall. Dorothy, you should have your steps repaired. We have all been wondering why Rat Darnell is on the mid night shift. Someone said he is running a dairy for Roxie and Woodson Newman is delivering the milk. Nice work, if you can get it, boys. Mr. Bob Hall reports a fine hunting trip last Thursday. He and two other men went hunting down near Dobson. He says he brought back fifteen rabbits. It must have been a great hunt. Mrs. Hall looks mighty sleepy today, but sitting up roasting 15 rabbits would make anyone sleepy. Mrs. Ethel Couch is a patient at the local hospital. She is re covering nicely. NEW CARS P. M.
