Page Two CHATHAM BLANKETEER July 8, 1940 ! AROUND THE MILL I NAPPING DEPT. A Shift Taking up where we left off, we find the Napping department in full swing and a lot of people haven’t been recognized as yet, but here goes. All these men you see carrying tool pulleys, etc., are the mechan ics, John Williams, Dennis Nor man, Prank Duncan, Zeb Hull and Jake Ketner. Their slogan is, “You break ’em, we fix ’em.” Those boys you see with the big scissors are the “cutters.” They are always happy, especially on Friday afternoon. Meet them: Dallas Wagoner, John Livengood, Harvey Wagoner, S. S. Bullard, Luther Shoemaker, “Freck” Tut tle, and the skipper, Ralph Sut ton. Willie Osborne is a famous horseback rider. She has the advantage over us, her boy friend’s father is a horse trader. Another heavy set fellow you see at Dutch Castle on Friday night is John Swartzel. Tall, lean, lanky. Perry Lawson is always quiet and reserved, and is sure to give you a square deal. Wait a minute who’s that strutting around? Oh I beg your pardon it’s “papa Holder.” Con gratulations Ott. You know the old saying “like father, like son.” A little news with our introduc tions. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Norman and son, Jimmy, will spend their vacation in and around Augusta, Ga. Willie stayed away from work Saturday morning. We wonder if she went sailing on the sea of matrimony. How about it, Wil lie? Lawrence has been taking box ing lessons. Look out or he’ll knock your block off. Gilliam spent the week-end in Winston-Salem, betcha! He was also strutting at the dance Fri day night. Some “gitter bug.” WEAVING A Shift Finn Haynes can never tell when he has had enough ice cream. Too much will make you sick, Finn. I wish to make a correction from last issue’s news. Henry Woodruff does not have courting material near home. Bill Carter now has exclusive rights on the Hospital Road. Pinkie Burcham goes all the way to Winston-Salem to stroll in the Park. Was he a good stroller, Pinkie? Red Eller sure had a big time up at Bryan’s Lake last week. Ask Henry or Walter about it. Buck Eller rides Again. Anne, Red, Stormy, Pete and Fred attended a foot washing held on Main street the day the ball game was rained out. The public was cordially invited. The performance was free and no soap used. Mr. and Mrs. Shorty Wall have moved into their new home near State Road. Mary Wagoner says she may not have a steady job, but to tell Vallie Harp that it didn’t make her sick to run six looms. Mamie Sue Pardue says she has been no place except over the mountains. What did you see on the other side, anyhow? Shorty Wall and Bud Barker are taking turns attending the conventions or what not being held in or around Winston-Sa lem. Did Earl Pardue ever recite any of his original poetry to you? He should if you want to die laughing. Mr. Luther Day, who is a pa tient at the local hospital, is somewhat improved. His many friends wish for him a speedy re covery.
