Jabber By Glennice Jones Our snoopers have really been at work! We have found out very nice items, but some of which we do not un derstand. Just why does Jesse Burton need a dark blue suit at once? Also, why is Margaret Nance called “Maggie” now? Why is Malvene Ferguson continually singing, “Carry Me Back To Old Vir ginia?” Ed Martin is our cheerful, happy soul in this office. Most any time he gives out with bird notes, and songs such as “Onesy-Twosy.” Yes, Spring has ar rived!

We have been missing Ruby Fulcher for several weeks now. Happily, we hear that she will soon be back with us again. Information: Does any one know how we could get Rebecca Pender introduced to a general? One morning we came to work, and only silence greeted us. Our Nancy Mat- lock couldn’t speak! Elaine Nance was her mindreader and spoke for her. Oh! The things she said!!! Ozelle Harter and Marjorie Perry have been flying high. Marjorie reports be ing very nervous over her first airplane trip. Lt. Conrad Shinn paid a visij; to our office last week.
