Selma Stone and Gladys Sum ner are the lucky girls, we speak of. Surely do look pretty, too! Gosh, J. V., you’ll certainly have to take these wedding parties a little slow er.

Two in one week! What’s new? Pity Charles when the bills start rolling in. Blue Monday and back to work—but what a week-end. More fun! Let’s go back to Lynchburg, Alice? Kinda like that place, somewhat. Virginia “Speedy” Giles and Lucille Cherry spent the week-end in Greens boro. A wonderful time was had, so they report. The “Chin Up Girls” club will meet with Everlena Cannady on Thursday evening, November 30, at 7:30 o’ciock. Selma Stone will be joint hostess. Trust all the members will be present. Just a thought; “A wise man learns by the experience of others. The or dinary “dub” learns by his own experi ence, but the fool learns by nobody’s experience.” V . . . — A naval aviator on solitary patrol ran into thirty-four Jap planes. The last heard from him via radio were the words, “I’ve got four down already and thirty more cornered.” The magnificent courage of men like this makes your heart glow and your pulse beat faster, but if you want to help more of them come home, call on your hands as well as your heart—today—on your job.
