Page Six CHATHAM BLANKETEER December 23, 1940 , AROUND THE MILL | BURLING ROOM Mary Wilkins had as her guests for the week-end Mr. and Mrs. John D. Wilkins, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Minton, of Winston-Salem, and Miss Viola Wilkins, of Brooks Cross Roads. Theodore Webster, son of Car oline Webster, is now in Porto Rico, and reports he is enjoying the Marines just fine. Mr. and Mrs. Arvil Myers and son, Bobby, of Knightstown, Ind., spent the past week with Mrs. R. G. Myers, Mr. Myers’ mother. We are all sorry that Charlie Gough had to lose his service station. Maybe the next one Charlie gets will be on solid ground. Myrtle Ray has been on our sick list, but is now back at work. Army blankets have claimed two victims in this department. They are Ethel and Ruby who are at present on upholstering. Dear Santa: We want the following things for Christmas: Charlie Gough—a new station. Eva Armstrong—a new beau— former one drafted. Carney Shugart — new sewing machine. Charlie Fi'eeman—package of razor blades. Ruby Vestal—strong pair of back braces. Ethel Myers—more sleep. Theo Barber—a bundle from Heaven. Ed Freeman—^more time to make pillows. Carson Freeman—a dark room for camera outfit. A1 Boles—lessons on how not to turn a car over. Ruth Teague—more dock tick ets. Gladys Cheeks—new pair of work shoes. Mick Brown—^bed room shoes. Preston Baity—some good toil et soap. Pearl Pardue—a didie doll and (Juice) harp. Maude Hayes—a top that plays a tune. Emma Burcham — more time for courting. Fred Cockerham—says he is his own Santa Claus so Fred won’t get anything. CLOTH DEPT. B Shift Ester says it is getting too near Christmas to express her feelings. Laura Lee, Jess, Buck, Fred and Sam attended the funeral of a fellow employee, John (Footeye) Sampson, in Winston-Salem Tuesday. Ruby Binkley wants to know if her new knee length socks axe be coming. The Shaders wish to apologize to Ruth Shermer for not inviting her to their Thanksgiving supper. What is wrong with Iris? The other night she turned on the light to see if the fire was burn ing. It takes Ruth Long to tell us how she feels. Buck says he passed through “Hootsville” the other day, and it was a quiet village, has cows, chickens and everything. Laura Lee, Ruth and Grace say that if Buck doesn’t change from the Shaders to Picking sometime, they will never get to rest any. Does anyone know where the house is? A lady called the Mill the other night, and said to tell Buck to call the “House.” Esther inquired for him, and not being able to locate him, calls his home and who should answer but Buck. He seems to know nothing about the call. Just what is this all about, Mr. Shore. NAPPING DEPT.

WEAVE ROOM A Shift Dear Santa, It seems funny, dear Santa, though we think of you little dur ing ten months of the year, for the past two months we have thought of you constantly, and with much joy. I wonder if you would do some thing for me? I want you to please see that Shorty Wall and Zenus Harris get Toupees for Christmas. They are never going to have any more hair than at present, and they are nice fel lows. For Emma Emerson, a nice new voice. The one she is now using is all shot. Please bring Carmel Tucker some pencils that, though sharp ened much, will never grow short. Could you see that Crazy Cock erham gets the strength of Atlas? He needs it for those Khaki lots. I could go on about the needs of others for a long time, but I must get this into print if you are to get it at all. As for me, all I ask is that you remember all of my friends in this department and give me only the joy of continuing the friend ship of those whom I hold very dear. That’s all, Santa, “RED” Even Steven Maid: I’m sorry, but she said I was to tell you that she is not at home. Caller; Oh, that’s all right. Just tell her that I’m glad I didn’t call.
