Bedspread Mill Mrs. Frank Jones Well, it is time for the news and, “Sorry, no news available,” is all I hear, but will try to find out something. Hazel Blackburn and Sallie Gray have both taken jobs in the Weave room as battery hands. Hope you’ll like us, girls! Quite a few ex-servicemen have re turned to their former jobs, among them being Aubrey Purdy, Emory Apple, Herbert Buckner, Ray Carter, Henry Crowder, Dewey Talley, George Vernon, Burdette McPeters and others that I can’t think of at the present time. Albert Hill, son of Rev. and the late Mrs. Sam Hill, and Billie Roberts, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Everette Rob erts, decided two could live cheaper than one. Yes, they motored to Reids- ville Saturday afternoon and were hitched for life. Good luck to you, Al bert and Billie! We are glad to see Rachel Carter’s sunny smile again. We have missed you a lot, Rachel, and we’re glad you are able to be back at work again. We also wish to welcome Mrs. Nannie Gilley back again after being out sick for some time. Work agrees with you, Mrs. Gilley. You’re looking better already. David Petty is working in the Weave room. No place like the good old Weave room, eh. Petty! Mr. and Mrs. James H. Williams and daughter, Lillian, of Greensboro, visit ed Mr. and Mrs. Frank Jones over the week-end. Ola Mae, please hide the crackers and pickles. Your dad makes me so hungry about nine o’clock every morn ing. By the way, I wonder if he got any sour pickles at the Chinese restau rants he went to, for he was up in the air in the Empire State building and under the ground on a subway, all over Noo Yawk and Chinatown. E. G. Buckner and T. H. Hayden have just returned from Worcester, Mass., where they visited the Crompton and Knowles Loom Works in the interest of the new looms lor the Bedspread mill that are now passing down the assem bly lines. They report that they had a very in teresting, informative and pleasant trip and those of Compton and Knowles made their stay there so pleasant that they will long be remembered. Don’t V^orry You wouldn’t worry about what people think of you. If you could only know how seldom that they do. BLASTS From the Draper Office Carrie Hill and Evelyn Lewis Gladys B. Smith reported a very quiet week-end this morning. Her' husband, Willie, went to Durham. Where did you get those bruises, shadow boxing? Evelyn Lewis is out nursing the sick again. Her husband, Herbert, is very ill. Hope you are feeling much better. Hilda Smith and Nellie Minter had better write to “Dear Answerer To All Questions.” Seems more girls are hav ing trouble since the Army and Navy are discharging the men. Virginia G. Huffman has arrived safely in Indiana. Her husband, Joe, was dated to be home the 24th of March. Our welcome mat has been put out for Ed Gerringer, who has been in the Army. Ed is working in the Sheeting mill office. Sure is nice to see that smil ing face again. Wacs, Waves and Spars are supposed to be coming home soon. We know of one person who is “Waiting for the train to come in.” Well, folks, you can relax now! The voting for the ABC stores seems to be licked. Guess that is why all the people are drinking Coca-Colas this morning, dry and thirsty. Secrets are things we give to others to keep for us.—E. Hubbard. Our deepest sympathy goes to Mr. R. B. Hairfleld and children, in the death of his wife. Buy Easter Seals Now! Lament Garrett and Melvin Howell, corpsmen in the U. S. Naval Reserve. Lament is stationed at Coco Sola, Canal Zone, and Melvin is at Portsmouth.
