Rayon Mill
By Mildred Saunders and Virginia Ward
Flash! Love will find a way. Even all
the way from Switzerland. If you are in
doubt, ask Gertrude Shelton. Her hus
band, Rufus Shelton, talked With her
for 17 minutes Sunday night. “Gert” is
still in a daze.
Sure are a lot of convertibles in town
lately. The reporter in the Engineering
is seen sporting a maroon one. Our yel
low basket isn’t the only one that comes
to the Rayon, either. We noticed an
other parked at our back door last week
and upon closer observation found Doris
Grogan was the objective. Ahem, nice
work.
On shopping sprees this week-end
were: Mrs. Virgil Taylor and Mrs. Wal
ker Curry in Danville and Miss Annie
Ruth Haley in Greensboro.
Mr. and Mrs. Dan Hankins and
daughters, Barbara and Elizabeth, from
Gretna, Va., spent Sunday with Mr. and
Mrs. Barney Griggs.
Over the week-end Mr. and Mrs.
Lester Fagge entertained Eider Ed
Priddy and Mr. Banner Young from
Danbury.
Latest reports on the Softball Team
show that we won a game from Meadow
Dairies. However, Murphy and Mabes
is still in question to say nothing of
Chandler Drug.
Riley Bowman of Kannapolis and Bill
Bryant attended the recent auto races
at Indianapolis.
Curiosity almost got the better of us
yesterday when we spied that shiny ’40
Oldsmobile in our parking lot. Roy Mar
tin quickly informed us he is the owner.
We aren’t calling any names but a cer
tain little girl who owns a ’39 model,
says beware, they sure can stall at the
wrong time.
John Robert Farris, four months old,
is son of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Farris, both
