Harris, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hanes. “OFFICE CHATTER” Up bright and early — 7:30 Ante-Meridiem — Beautiful day— There must be some news float ing around in the air. On to the office—DOT and I—and the car started without us telling it to “git going” which was all the more reason for us feeling fine. Caught up with LUCILE OG- BURN going into Office—chatted with her about her trip to More- head—she went down with BILL and LUCILLE HARRIS on a fishing trip—and she was all ex cited over having caught one—to prove it she had her picture made — the camera had some trouble getting the fish in— “Small fry.” They didn’t mind about not catching any big ones —they had a good time . . . On into Office discover we have two new additions to our department. We welcome MARY IDELIA BENSON and CHARLIE SASHER —While working I observe MAR GIE has a new hair style—^MR. COX is very busy working—but still smiling, he and ALEC are nice like that . . . Heard ROXIE say she went to church Sunday . . . HELEN and EARL CONRAD spent the week-end in Winston . . . JOHN SAGAR, walking fast as usual, comes in with a cheery “Good Morning.” We all start to run for an air-raid shelter think ing Hitler had let loose some bombs on us but it was only MR. JONES sneezing . . . CHARLIE CALHOUN is back for a day bringing gifts for some—Pencils with advertisements on them— Funny I didn’t know you could BUY pencils like that . . . JOHN ELLER just walked through . . . INEZ started calling him to come and help with the invoices—he kept on walking . . . For the in formation of some friends and readers of our BLANKETEER in Kershaw, S. C., who have only been accustomed to associating a Mule with a plow want to know what our Mule room is would like to explain that it is the spinning room and gets its name from a type of spinner that moves for ward and backs up—backward and forward, just like an old mule—hence the name. I hope this is clear . . . INEZ had a great shock this morning—she went to the P. O. for a package that was too large for her box, according to the slip she received yester day, to find it was a Sears cat alogue and it not even for her .... BABE is a very fortunate girl, she has .been offered a team of mules, a cow, and several acres of land by an official of the com pany, if she will wait until his son grows up and marry him . . . I am very sorry to report the ab sence of MR. GRAHAM due to illness—do wish him a speedy re covery . . . NAT has a new assist ant, MR. PEYTON WHITE, and he must be very capable as Nat has started eating soup for lunch. He made the remark one time that he had to have something more substantial for lunch in order to do the labor required of him in the afternoon . . . WAL TER METZ is very popular—ev ery day brings telegrams, tele phone calls, and special deliveries from Winston—understand it is two girls fighting for the honor of being his one girl . . . PA GREENE has returned from Connecticut where he spent a few days . . . MR. R. W. HAR RIS and MR. FRED NEAVES are visiting in New York and other points in N. E. states . . . MR. CHATHAM is in Boston at tending the American Legion convention . . . MR. GETSINGER from Detroit is down for a few days . . . MR. HYSLUP’S father and brother are visiting him to day. They are from Richmond, Va. It’s a baby girl for the TOM ROTHS . . . Until the next time I go a-roaming, this will be all. So long. WEAVE ROOM C Shift Well, it certainly is a hard matter to make these boys talk without their lawyers, but believe me I did the best I could. Most of the boys on this early morning shift seem to be taking more pains with the government order since about ninety per cent, of us are between 21 and 35. Brady Osborne spent last week-end in Winston-Salem vis iting friends. David, how does it feel to get a bath without asking for it? Better be careful the next may be cold water. Wendell Stanley is out sick this week. Hope you can soon be back with us. Ed Atkins and Bill Pardue at tended Senior Day and the Caro- lina-A. S. T. C. football game at Chapel Hill Saturday. We want to extend our con gratulations to J. T. Pardue upon his marriage to Miss Gladys Transou. Just remember, J. T., “Uncle Sam” wants married men too. Folks, you should have heard the proposal the other night. Down on his knees, with a beau tiful sparkler in his hand, and she must have accepted. At least she is wearing the ring. Lucky fellow, Fred—more power to you. Girls, I certainly enjoyed the chicken stew last night. Can’t we do it again real soon? Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Morrison, Alene Green and your reporter attended the Gray-Green reunion at Clingman Sunday. Seems that Paul Luffman doesn’t know the difference be tween a woodpecker and a squir rel. At least that’s what Shorty Gaither thinks. Paul and Herman Gaither at tended the Wake Forest-Jewell football game in Winston-Salem Saturday. WARP ROOM B Shift Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Hayes and children, of Boonville, Mr. and Mrs. Kennie Hayes, of Yadkin- ville, spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Hayes. Mr. and Mrs. Ted Dixon, of Norfolk. Va., spent the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. Loyd Martin. Miss Ruth Johnson is spending this week with her sister, Mrs. Jack Smoot, of Pleasant Hill.
