V . . . — Chatter vs. Jabber By Gloria Carter This is to be a red-letter year in many of the girl’s lives in the Order & Billing Department. You see, we can vote and believe me, that’s one thing we’ll take advantage of. (Odessa will be glad when she grows up!) Since the last column wa-s written one or two things on the social side have happened. An o’possum hunt and weiner roast combined che other Fri day night really seemed to set things off. We hear there was some trouble about a lantern, flashlight, and one or two other things. One of the auditors, not being used to the cold South, took along two pairs of pants to keep warm. Ozelle Harter, we wonder if you would consider us all applicants. We want to learn the latest method of abolishing oyster stew- You know, with a straw. Mildred Hodges has moved from the Order Department to the Scheduling to take over a secretarial position. Rebecca Pender takes over Mildred’s job. We wish both of these girls luck. Some of the best news we’ve heard in a long time. Jesse Burton is on his way home. He’s been reported on the way several times, but this time it’s actual. Grade Chatham, Odessa Priddy, Margie Newnam, with some more of the Women’s Auxiliary, went to Dur ham for the week-end. They were royally entertained—so much so that another jaunt is being planned this very minute for a coming week-end. Some of us want to add our names to the list going because it certainly sounded like fun. But what was that inside the little doors for Margie’s con venience! Robert Joyce worked so hard on his recent stay-out perfecting the contour of that driveway he’s building or mak ing, we should say, that he had to come back to rest. One day it was al most finished—oh, the cement was so pretty and smooth. The gentle rain fell. Can’t you imagine the times he counted up to ten while smoothing the little holes out! We have a new orator in our office. Gracie Chatham. She has a wonderful speech about the CAP that she gives exceedingly well. The beautiful thing about this speech, Gracie says, is that you can stop at the end of any para graph and no one will be the wiser! Isabel Baker’s boy friend is in from the Army. She looks extremely pleas ed. Who wouldn’t? The girls up here decided to make Friday the 13th a day to remember and all came decked out in red dress es. We know Mr. Moulton was start led when he came over to visit us. It must have looked like a huge traffic sign! Mary Lee’s boy friend, Lynn Jones, came in unexpectedly the other day. The girls all agreed that they envied her and wished they’d have more surprises. We noticed in another column last week that Mr. Lindsay’s jitter-bug ging was mentioned and praised very highly. They’d better lay off. He comes from over here and we’re claiming him too! Now if some of you men have aspirations of being the life of the party, he’ll give lessons on Tues day afternoons! Malvene Ferguson’s brother, Elwood, who has been overseas about four years, came in the other day. That was a joyous home-coming, we know. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to Margie Newnam in the death of her brother in France. P. S. Guess John Zibelin, the Gov ernment inspector, will be a bit wary of the wagon from now on. It seems he had to pay a toll. Just what did you do with that dime, Gloria?—M. L. F. Y BLASTS From Draper Office Carrie HIU and Evelyn Lewis We hope Agnes Foster enjoys her visit to Washington this week. This is Agnes’ first visit to the Capitol city, so we’re expecting some real news from her on her return. Girls, don’t forget the Office Club meets next Thursday evening, October 26, at 7:30, with Lucille Cherry. We trust that all you girls will be present. We are sorry to report that Gladys Barber says she will be unable to join us. Say, kid—you might miss a good time! Has anybody noticed anything new about Grace Taylor? Shes got new spec’s, and the first day she wore them, “Fats” had to lead her down to the office to get a Coca Cola. We heard a faint rumor that Alice Carrol was coming to work down here while Agnes was away. Hope that rumor is correct, and by the way, Alice, how was Charlotte? I guess the city lights got you like they did Illie (Continued on Page 3)
