Patterson Recreation By MARGARET BUTLER _ Of course this war has made everyone worry but we will all have to make the best of every thing and be happy and cheerful as long as we can. Everyone come on out to the Recreation Club and join your friends in the delightful and entertaining games that are here for your amusement. Shuffle off to a game of Set Back, bat a game of Ping Pong, move a game of Checkers, or enjoy reading some of the magazines and books that are in the library. If you can’t read, then you can enjoy looking at the pictures. Ther&s lots of things for aU to do and there is a radio convenient for those who care to listen to the latest news reports. I wonder what happened to Roa noke Mills Co.’s Ping Pong team Wednesday night of last week? The Patterson team was all warm ed np and ready to go, waiting for their rivals, but they didn’t show up. I guess it’s a good thing they didn’t hold their breath. I really don’t know what is wrong, but I am sure that Roanoke Mills have a pretty good team. Those boys have plenty of fighting spirit at any game. Rosemary is still in the lead in this league. I guess you will have to give "Chippy” Sims plenty of credit for his team. They are really in the groove. It will not be long now before Christmas, and just think: Some lucky person is going to take home a lovely thirty-two piece din ner set. A lot of chances have been given away and you still have a few more Saturday nights to play. Valuable prizes are still being given away, and the crowds are still coming out. The Bingo party is over at ten o’clock and after that you will have plenty of time to go over to Rosemary Rec reation Club and enjoy the rest of the evening—square and round dancing. There are door prizes given away every week to the person with the lucky number . The honored guest at the club this week-end was our friend, Roy Blythe.. Roy is now at Fort Bragg and says it isn’t so bad there since he got his shoes. Roy was very glad to be at home and everyone was very glad to see him. He is looking very good, and if there were more boys like Roy with as much personality as he has, wouldn’t we have fun? Pd like to say best wishes and the best of luck to all our men in service and may “Qod bless them”. The question on everyone’s mind today is what win happen to my sweetheart, husband, son, brother and our friends. The only thing that we can do is hope and pray for the best and be as con tented as possible. May Qod Bless America and all its people. (Crowded out last week) “Bingo! You might get tired of hearing it but if you could see the crowds that come to the Patterson Recreation Club every Saturday night to play, then you would un derstand why it is such a talked about game. It seems like the more you play the better you like it, because there are such valuable prizes given away. The young, old, in-between and all are having more fun than ever. They all know that they have a chance of winning three or four prizes each night and every card that they play will mean another chance on the thirty two piece dinner set that will be given away very soon. Everyone likes to know who wins the special prizes every week, so here they are: Ladies special prize went to one of the most popular young ladies of the club, none other than Lissie Sherian. The men's special prize and also the grand prize of the eve ning went to a very lucky fellow, Ben (Round about) Garner. He left the club Saturday night with all that he could carry and had won it all. On last Saturday nigl.t's program, the prizes were awarded by Hrs. Hall to the winners of the setback tournament that the boys finished up last week. As I told you last week, the winners were David Hud son and Ben Garner. Each of these boys was given a very nice shirt. "Say, I think that was something really worth playing for, don’t you?” Mr. Hall said yesterday, ttiat another setback tournament will get underway the first of January. Watch for the notice! I have been thinking about the city league ping pong tournamenl and wondering just who would be on top after the final game. I haven’t he'-’-d a word from Roa noke Mills. Last week at Rosemary Club, Pat terson players looked even better than in tbeir games at home, even tho Rosemary did win more games. Snook Ferrell has really improved, and he and Pig Riggans played one of the best games of ping pong that I have ever seen played last week at Rosemary. Nice going, boys. There seems to be a checker fe ver going around lately. I have no ticed at the clubs that several men and boys are seeing just how many people that they can beat There has been every other kind of tour nament started, so why not get to gether and have a checker tourna ment among the different clubs the same as they are doing in ping pong.. The only ones that I think should be eliminated from this tournament would be the employ ees of Rosemary designing office. I don’t really think it would be fair, do you, John Fisher? And how about you, BuU? I’m telling you, it just wouldn’t be fair. I have seen those men play, and they play from either end of the board. You can’t even beat them a “give away" game. Last Friday night as I was going into the new Rosemary Cafe, I heard someone say, “There goes Dopey Dan out of the door”. I looked around and tried to see if I could find Bill Alligood. He seems to be the only one that knows anything about Dopey. I know a lot of “Dopey People”, but no “Dopey Dan". Now don’t hold out on us, Bill. Who is Dopey Dan? Maybe we can guess, or would you rather give us the real dope? He must be a smart guy.
