THE MILL WHISTLE
August 3, 1942
The Wigington Triplets
Pictured above are the three young daughters of Mr. and Mrs, Randolph J.
Wigington, said to be the only set of triplets born to Marshall Field employees.
Look at them good and see if you can tell which is Eva, Era, Vera. Mr. and Mrs.
Wigington have no difficulty in telling them apart, but can you? The triplets are
strong, healthy little girls, and enjoyed their first year in school last year. They
are seven years old and Mr. Wigington, of the Woolen Mill, is justly proud of his
daughters.
State Guards Have Fun
Members of the Leaksville Co. 19,
of the N. C. State Guards who attended
the State Guard Training School learn
ed several thing not included in mil
itary tactics. A few highlights of the
comical side of army life were un
earthed.
For instance; one of the men wanted
to go to town but no passes were be
ing issued. One of the guard posts was
located alongside a large cornfield. The
man hankering for a taste of town life
suddenly got a bright idea. He bor
rowed a pair of overalls and a hoe
from a nearby house and just simply
hoed his way past the guard. At the
end of the row, which was near a high
way, he dropped his hoe and sped to
town. On his return he came into camp
the same way he went out—hoeing
corn!
Another local man injected a new
branch of service into the Army—one
in which the Army Intelligence might
be interested, if they knew anything
about it. This guy appointed himself
“Moral Sergeant”; a general idea of
what that title means is a man whose
spirits are so high that he stays awake
wliile the others sleep. Or ?
Perhaps the most fun came from raid
ing the ice box at mid-night.
All in all it was a week of intensive
training but one that was thproughly
enjoyed by air the Guards.
