Letters From Servicemen
Dear Editor:
Although I have never worked in
Fieldcrest Mills, my father, W. M.
Landreth, is employed at the Finishing
Mill and my step
mother, Mrs. Beulah
Landreth, works at
the Bedspread. I
would like for you
to know how much
I appreciate getting
the MILL WHISTLE.
I took basic train
ing at Camp Gordon,
Ga. and was sent to i *«,
Germany for 12 * • * -"H* tS
months and am now serving in France.
It is certainly nice to know what your
buddies in “good ole Spray” and the
Tri-Cities are doing. I really look for
ward to reading the news and would
like to say again, thanks a million.

Boy Scouts Receive Advancement Awards
Dear Mr. Rimmer;
I will write to you today hoping that
the mill is running good. I would like
to thank you for sending me the MILL
WHISTLE while I was in the States.
I would appreciate it very much if you
would still send me the paper while I
am in Germany, for I enjoy reading it
very much.

One of the secrets of looking young
is conserving one’s strength—which
means getting at least eight hours of
relaxing sleep every night. For true
night-time relaxation, a level, resiUent
good-quality mattress and spring is a
must.

Dear Mr. Miller:
Just a few lines to say “hello” and
to let you know that I am well and
getting along just fine. I hope this will
find you and all my old friends there
the same.
. . . The main reason I haven’t sent
you my change of address is because
until now I have been on the go so
much from one place to another that
I didn’t know from one day to the
next when I would change again. Now
I am in this new outfit that is just
beginning to set up operations and I am
sure that I will remain with this outfit
until I am discharged which is only 11
more months.
Until then, 1 would like very much
to receive the MILL WHISTLE if the
Company is still sending it out to ser
vice personnel.
Looking forward to being back with
the Company and my old friends.
