On July 29, the employees of the Greige Goods Department surprised Jim Ledwell with a birthday party. Several of the girls brought home-made cakes for the occasion. Since Ernest Tysinger's birthday was the next day, he sort of got in on the party, too. Boarding Department: With almost everyone having had their vacations, just about all agreed they didn't feel as though they's had one. We can blame it on the weather, perhaps--that long awaited "good ole summertime" which now we find is entirely out of hand, sapping all of us boarders of what little energy we did have. The 'first day after vacation, the day seemed much too long for Phyllis Jones, who was about to toast her sandwich an hour ahead of time when she was reminded by her buddy that it was just ten o'clock. Goes to show that Phyllis isn't exactly a clockwatch er. Willie Young is receiving quite a bit of advice on how to be a good father-in-law (and how much it's going to cost him). Willie's daughter, "Charlie, "is planning a fall wedding. Seems as though the "jinx" is on Sue Allison--not being satisfied with all that sunburn, she had to go and get all bruised up on a motorcycle. Dorcas Thomas says anyone wish ing to get cooled off should visit her "cousin, " Ruth Thomas. Dorcas said her cooling system actually raised goose bumps on one of those swelter ing nights. As usual, we would like to wager that Bill Sink still has the best toma toes of any Adams-Millis farmer. Wonder if it's because Lib picked them. Congratulations to former boarder Frankie Bulla, whose lovely daughter, Jo Carol, recently received her nurse's cap from Cabarrus Memorial Hospital. No wonder Frankie is so proud lately.
