Eight THE MILL WHISTLE November 6, 1944 RIGHT OFF THE FLOOR NEWS OF OUR NEW YORK OFFICES By “WIG”—Pinch-Hitting For A. S. KRAMER Karastan: 295 Fifth Avenue Domestics: 82 Worth Street Canning In A Foxhole I missed the September 25th issue and in its place Dummy ran some can ning recipes for the men in the fox holes I guess—you know, how to take the wrinkles out of prunes before you cook them—or how to make tomatoe preserve with hand Grenades and Machine Gun bulles etc., because what else could the men in the service use. I know my stuff should be canned, but oh Dummy how could you? Weight Where It Is Not Needed Since Agnes Malloy has been pro moted to the Accounts Payable Division wo can safely say that she has added some weight to the department (Do you get me?) What we mean to say is, between Mrs. Edmunds and Agnes they should keep things well balanced. All they need is Two Ton Bill Wray to overbalance. Smiles Thrt e One Happy Wc arc happy to report Mrs. “Whit” Whitcomb is feeling much better. Gosh, “Whit” looks natural showing that smile again. The Queen Is Crowned Again Yes, Queen Margaret Smith this time is having it done permanently. Mr. Jack Feerick decided to take no more chances on any contests so popped the question and is taking her off to Holly wood—so the Navy won. The Queen’s Ladies-in-waiting gave her a lovely shower to remember them by, and the entire Worth Street gang gave her a Wedding Gift. Good Luck honey you were a nice person to know. Nice Work Helen Fickers nephew has returned safely from England after completing 30 missions over Germany as an Aerial Gunner. Condolences We all extend our sincere sympathy to Elizabeth Pollicke (Mr. L. Bodges Secretary) upon the recent loss of her mother. W'edding Bells Gertrude Benziger (Mr. R. T. Gra ham’s Secretary) is also hearing Wed ding Bells in the distance. Yes, we overheard a letter aloud and the words, furlough, trousseau, license, church, can add up to, only one thing, and it ain’t pinochle—Come on, Gert, the secret is out now. Mike’s Time To Crow Cliff Howell—Say Mike we can’t ac cept this order. Mike Fynn—You will too because I have a letter saying we have the goods. Cliff Howell—Who signed it. Mike Flynn—You did. Cliff Howell—Oh! Now folks this is the first time Mike Flynn has been right in his life so he had to crow. Visitors DcLuxe R.ta Bendigo and Avis Jamerson paid us a vi^it recently and upset all of Wort’.i Street office. Now the fellows {.ot a glimpse of Southern beauty and the kind of competition Margaret had. Girls we honestly enjoyed having you up here. Please come again. A Froutl Grandpa Grandpa Graham reports his new granddaughter is lovely, and the best (Lawson Ivie please note). Of course we thought he was slightly prejudiced, but then we saw pictures of Shelia Graham, and she is cunning—especially the one in the tub. How about having that picture Gramp, because the older she gets the less chance we have of printing it—She’ll say, “Oh, Grandpa, how could you?” Illness Ann Boyce (The girl who won’t talk) is out ill — We are all so sorry Ann — We hope by now you are O. K. In Trouble Again In the September 11th issue we wrote a couple of stories about Ger trude — but two different ones. First story about one being elated over re ceiving news about her brother-in-law returning to the States, (meaning Gert Benziger), the second about another, Gertrude (meaning Vail) putting her arms around a horse’s neck. Now, Tech. Sgt. Emmet Brennen wants to know if his Gertrude (Benriger) was the one wanting her arms around a horse’s neck instead of him. The ans wer is NO! because — but — well—Say, Sgt. I was going to say not while I’m around, but I guess I had better not print that. More Trouble Virginia Taylor Hailey (Mother of the Stale Beer Baby) paid us a visit on her vacation with her lovely mother and baby — so she said, “You and your stale beer ideas—just look at that baby.” I did, and he was fast asleep, so maybe I’m still right. The guy’s always sleeping. Picnic Karastan had a picnic cater, and the arts did O. K. too. Mae Imbro (who weighs 105 lbs. when its raining) ate so many hot dogs Eonnis Kay Harris at three and one- half months gives every promise of be coming a beautiful girl, as can be clear ly seen. The dimpled little lady is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Harris. Mr. Harrs is employed in the Central Warehouse Packing Department and we don’t wonder at all why he is so proud of his little daughter. V . . . — Here lies the body Of Private Stark; He mistook his Sarge For a girl in the dark. she was able to balance a see-saw with Neil Finn who weighs 230. Rose Gill and Helen Fickers were out chasing a golf ball around a field but instead of the sky being blue — it was the air. Tom Corbett and Ham Haig were shocked. Lee Belinian put on his Boy Scout trick of building a fire by rubbing lum ber together — But—Yes that’s right he wound up using a match. Correction of Blood Donors Honor Roll Lee Belinan—4 Donations Rose Gill — 3 Donations Our Ticket Agent Transportation Eddie (Hewins) who purchases all those R.R. tickets that no one ever sees, has been successful in getting a few on the Pony Express — Don’t you laugh Cynthia — do you re member? V . . . — . Sell .. Swap FOR SALE—Billy goat. See James Harraway, Wool Picking Dept. LOST—1941 Oldsmobile hub cap, be tween Leaksville and Jeff Webster’s S^ore. Finder please notify Buck Strong, Stoneville, N. C., Route 1.
