V . . . — Central Warehouse By Maybud Stanley Dear Crib: I will now finish your letter I start ed in last issue of Mill Whistle. We are right busy these days, but not too busy to remember you and the other boys from the packing department. Do any of the boys from the packing de partment happen to be in your com pany? We still miss you, but hope you are getting along fine and feel at home. We are having some fine spring weath er, sleet and snow. Here are some of the happenings: Onedia and Hazel have been trying to reduce. Don’t you think swinging on a grapevine would be good exercise for them? Rosie and Edd had company this week-end, Mrs. Frank Taylor and little son, Allen, from Welch, W. Va It doesn’t get too cold for the two Minnies to take their brisk morning walk. We’ve been thinking about tak ing up collectic'n to help Earsley pay her telephone bill, too many calls to New Jersey. You should see Irva’s new sweetheart, he’s tall and blond, and judging from the new pin she’s wearing, I think he must be in the Army Air Corp-3. Mrs. Spink sure is dressing up; it may be she is trying to beat Irva’s time. Myrtle ate so much blackberry pie recently it made her sick. Mur was out from work last Saturday on account of company, but it turned out to be a trip to Elkin. Ruth and Shine have purchased their new bonnets; they can hardly wait for the Easter parade. Belle has the blues today, no letter has arrived so far. Mrs. Allie i-3 still Johnny on the spot with her labeling. Glad and her farmer husband are drawing plans for a new chicken house. Lillian is doing much better lately, she even gets to work on Monday morning. Fred has left us and gone to the farm. Horse has taken his place and is doing real well. Tom Walker has left too, gone to Richmond. The remainder of the folks in the pack ing department are getting along O. K., and you know me, I’m still trying to be good. Hurry and come to see us. MAYBUD STANLEY. V . . , — Chatter Vs. Jabber Central Warehouse Office By Mary Lee Fitz There must be -some way yet undis covered and not employed so far to re late the happenings around the office in an interesting manner for the en joyment of our readers. We hope that Sgt. Jesse M. Burton will now under stand why we are omitting “Dear Jesse.” (The trouble is, Jesse, that every body reads and likes Mary Lee’s col umn, but while it was a personal let ter to you mo3t of us couldn’t figure it cut, and we’re sure you’ll want to share the home news with the other fel lows.—Ed.) There have been quite a few boys home on leave the past week includ ing “Inky” Roberson, Carl Kallam, Eddie Ferguson, Homer Hundley, Con- rid Shinn, Peg Adkins, Hubert Cox, Moir Boone and Jack Spencer. Say Jack, did you by any chance meet a certain Sgt. Jones on your maneuvers in Louisiana? It s a jolly good thing that we have these boys coming back to look at be cause heaven knows, there is a dearth of men left here what with all dadas being put into khaki or navy blue, in cluding Lonnie Hankins and Quesell Scott. Sure is a lonesome old town now that all the wolves are in fox holes, and all husbands are in the dog house. We regret to hear that Pvt. George Shockley of Fort McClellan, Ala., has the measles. Here’s wishing him a speedy recovery. Guess friend Albert (Continued on Page Three)
