December 23, 1940 CHATHAM BLANKETEER Page Seven 1 AROUND THE MILL I CARD ROOM B Shift We are very glad to have RAY SHOEMAKER and BUCKCOCK- ERHAM back at work. BUCK and RAY were banged up in a car wreck and have been out for several weeks. Our ace under cover agent again reports that JOHN SNOW was seen the other day trying to shoot some li’l old birds with a great big shotgun! For shame, JOHN . . . MAY NARD NORMAN was seen wan dering around Traphill last week end. LEWIS RICHARDSON has been killing hogs. EARL ROSE- BERRY visited ANDREW HAYES last Sunday. NOAH MILES and his wife spent Thanksgiving in Ronda and stayed overnight with CARL HENDRICKS. Many wel comes to JASPER SPARKS who has been out with pneumonia. He says that he feels sort of “puny” now. Don’t quote us on this, but we hear that WALTER MARTIN is going to do the Lohengrin (to borrow a Winchellism) with his ONE and ONLY pretty soon. ROGER CORDER has been do ing the same as JOHN SNOW to those little birds. DWIGHT HIN SON says that he has “Hitlered” his pork (killed hogs to you). PAUL BOYD says that his draft questionnaire covered everything but the European Situation. We hear that since COY SALE has to work on the evening shift, his girl is going to get another fel low. WALLACE GROSS visited T H. HOLCOMB last Sunday. WILLIAM RANDLEMAN says that he went to the Baptist church last Sunday. HASTA luego, amigos. binding room Mrs. Nattlie Correll is now liv- in<^ in Jonesville. She moved up last week. Do hope she will like it. If you want to find any of the girls in this department on week ends now that it is so near Christmas, just go to Winston- Salem and there they will be. There are great huntsmen in this department. First, Joe Day shot four times at a poor deer. He finally killed it, but the rest of the men got Joe’s shirt tail. Bolejack attended the hunt with Joe. Dear Santa Claus; The Binding Department would like for you to send a smoking room, it’s getting pretty cold to go outside to smoke. It is so near Christmas we will all be very busy, but I am taking time out now to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and hope Santa Claus is good to everyone. Miss Versie Whitlock spent last week-end at Winston-Salem visiting friends, also getting her shopping done before Christmas. We are glad to have Louise Abrams and Ruby Byrd back. They have been out for a while because of illness. Mae Whitner received a mes sage last week of the death of Mr. Wesley Whitner in Tignal, Ga. We extend our sympathy to the family. Friends of Mamie Apperson will be glad to learn that she is at home again following a second operation at the Hugh Chatham Memorial hospital. WARP room A Shift Mr. and Mrs. Roy Judd and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Freeman spent last Saturday shopping in Win ston. Mary Byrd, who was the tall and handsome guy the other night? Bill Eldridge, don’t take dreams too seriously. Katie Lee, did you enjoy Thanksgiving dinner? I hear you had turkey, or did you? Charlie Sparks got hypnotized Saturday night—at least he look ed like that Sunday morning, or it could have been a close shave —figure it out for yourself. Reba is sorry that they have finished working on the elevator ’cause she don’t get to see that tall and handsome guy every hour of the day. Mrs. Mae Vestal, Mrs. Ina Mar tin and Miss Pauline Haynes shopped in North Wilkesboro Fri day. Mr. and Mrs. Deane Reece and Mr. and Mrs. John Williams were the Sunday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Rockett at East Bend. Mrs. Wilma Gilliam went to Black Mountain Tuesday, Decem ber 11, to be with her husband, David, who is a patient in the hospital there. He underwent an operation Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Anderson, of Lexington, spent last week-end with Miss Stella Nance. Mrs. R. L. Burch and Mr. James Burch, of Hickory, were the Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Laffoon.

We welcome Grace Cockerham, Bessie Byrd and Verona Clem to this department. We are sorry to report that Nancy Wagoner and Ruth Day are among the sick. Hurry back to work, girls. Mrs. Russell Transou and chil- Visitor Bobby Myers, of Knights- town, Ind., nephew of Mr. and Mrs. Edworth Freeman, who visited them recently. He is a talented violin player. dren spent last Thursday the guest of her sister, Mrs. Hattie Johnson, at Mooresville. Wayne Collins and C. E. Mc Cann said they had been good boys all year and for Santa not to forget them. “Vee” Clem sings “Maryland, My Maryland” just about half the time. The other time she sings “When Skinny Comes Marching Home” ? ? ? Gee, this is a won derful world after all. HAPPY NEW YEAR. WASH ROOM At last the Wet Finishing De partment is in the news again. The Bingo party given in the commissary social room was a great success. Everyone seemed to have had a huge time, that is everyone but Lefty Mcllwee, for Lefty had his heart set on win ning that cute little alarm clock that was to be one of the prizes. Lefty wasn’t quite lucky enough and someone else was the lucky guy. When I left the party. Rich and Alex Chatham were still arguing as to who owed the other twenty-five cents. It seems that Annie Laura had spent it for bingo but they didn’t know that part of the game. Most everyone was present and those that didn’t get there surely did miss a lot of fun. The biggest problem facing the employees of the mill at present seems to be . . . Just what to give the boss for his Christmas pres ent. Anyone that feels that he has lots of suggestion could get rid of them by getting in touch with any of the committees that have been appointed to that task. T. O. Caton spent the Thanks giving holidays with his parents at his home in the eastern part of the state. It was his first visit home since last Christmas. Never have I heard so much talk of hunting before this sea son opened. If one were to add up the birds that each hunter swears that he has seen during each day of hunting, the sky would actually be black with birds. Raymond Wall got up at daybreak one day last week to go hunting with one of the boys in the Wet Finishing Department. He spent the entire day in the field and he says that “All I kill ed was time.” The birds had probably gone into hiding upon hearing that he was going to hunt in that vicinity. Everyone will be glad to hear that Bob Reynold’s mother is re covering nicely following an op eration at the Baptist hospital in Winston-Salem. PACKING DEPT. Margaret Huffman is now without a roommate. E. B. has gone to Washington to work. We understand that she is a good booster of Chatham Blankets. She now sleeps under four blankets. Why not just buy one good blanket, Margaret? Where does Bobby Harris keep himself nowadays? Tuesday at Charlotte, and Wednesday after noon, Winston-Salem. We don’t know for sure, but from the way he is acting, we be lieve Wilburn will be buying an other diamond this year. Will he, or won’t he? Just who is she? Jim came back to Elkin on Sunday afternoon, for once. He is getting accustomed to this town. His girl friend is moving from Winston-Salem to Wilming ton. Tough luck, Jim. Everyone in this department is worried and all keyed up over the surprise, or will it be a surprise? Two girls in this department are going around in a daze. Just when the wedding bells will ring, we don’t know. Wonder if I could be a bridesmaid? Herbert Caudle still keeps the road to Winston-Salem hot. North Poplar street is still very popular with him. By the way, he was seen in Elkin last Satur day night. What is the big idea? Helen Briggs was out sick Wed nesday morning, but a quick re covery brought her to work Wed nesday at one o’clock. While everyone is buying for Christmas, don’t forget your re porter. I want . . . more news. IN MEMORIAM January—N. J. Blackwood, Sr February 25—R. M. Chatham. March 11—Tom Correll.
