Curtis Adams, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Claude Adams, of Draper, is now sta
tioned in Norfolk, Va. According to
our records he hasn’t been in the Navy
long but has attained the rating of S
2/c. His Dad is employed in the Blanket
Mill.
O. B. Roberts, Jr., CM 3/c, writes his
dad, who is well known to all of us as
yard foreman at the Karastan Mill,
that he is getting along fine. O. B., Jr.,
is now somewhere in the South Pacific,
probably he has seen a lot of action.
When Cpl. Jesse Manuel met his
brother, Cpl. Emerson Manuel, in Eng
land recently he probably reflected on
what a small world this is. Jesse is
married to the former Nina Mills and
has two sons. Emerson, who is remem
bered as editor and publisher of The
Draper Times is now associate editor
of “Muzzzle Blast,” an Army publica
tion. They are sons of Mrs. Nannie B.
Manuel, of Draper, and both were for
merly employed in the Blanket Mill.
This picture was taken in England.

Much Clothing
Collected Here
The Clothing Collection Drive which
was held Sunday, April 15th, resulted
in rn estim'-ted 15 000 pounds of cloth
ing collected and sent to the needy peo
ple in foreign countries. As the average
weight of clothing one person wears is
approximately five pounds, excluding
shoes, the people of this community
are responsible for clothing between
2 ono and 3,000 people.
This is something to be proud of. All
during the month of April clothing is
being collected all over the country. If
a community the size of ours can cloth
about 2,000 people there seems little
doubt that the millions in Europe who
are without clothing will be sufficiently
clad as a result cf this drive.
