iS33 kiKBSQ I (All The News Hung Out To Dry) — By — BLOYS W. BRITT RAMBLING -ROUND There are three Margaret Mar tins living in the 900 block of Hamilton street, Mrs. Margaret f Alfred) Martin, Mrs. Margaret <Thomas) Martin, and Miss Mar garet Martin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Martin. Incidentally both Martin couples recently cel ebrated wedding anniversaries, and Miss Margaret is due a birthday right soon. —o— We happened to think of some thing unusual the other day in one of our frequent thinking .spells. Did you ever notice that in the heads to notices of wed dings appearing in the papers the name of the man always comes first. Right away, we thought that this is as it should be, because it’s probably the last time the man will ever come first. —o— Publication several weeks ago of the first three-brother combina tion of local soldiers, has brought forth no less than half a dozen such combinations since the first appeared. Mrs. Sam Young has four sons in the service, Mrs. B. B. Burton has three, Mrs. Hattie King has three (with two more about to go) and Vepco has thir teen. —o— This department does not expect to ride around in an Army “Jeep” in the air raid test scheduled for the coming Tuesday. During the “raid” here on July 14, this de partment got its fill of bouncing around on the back seat of one of the little Army scout cars. Aft er all, there is a certain amount of sitting we have to do during the day, air raid or no air raid. On an afternoon last week, one of these hot days, we happened to be up near the swimming pool and went by there with our cam era. Seeing the nice selection of bathing beauties sitting around in the sun gave us an idea for a picture. We had always wanted to photograph bathing beauties. Anyway, we tried for half an hour to get a couple of them to pose. No luck! —o—■ The good wife got a permanent the other day. Six days later, to the minute, she went back to the beauty shop to have her hair combed. Exactly ten days later she went back to have it washed and set. Now, she plans to have it set again. What we are getting at is, vhy the dickens the pertna- , nent in the first place? —u— Incidentally, one barber here the other day reported that he cut a 4-pound paper bag full of hair off the head of a 10-year old kid. Oh well, this hot weather causes people to do things they hadn’t thought of doing in ten years. —o— The Romancos posed for pic tures the other afternoon out at Ledgerwood. By comparison with pictures of last year and the year before that, the Romanco ranks have been sadly depleted. But old Russ DeBerry is still there, and that’s the thing that counts. How ever, what’s the use of taking DeBerry’s picture? We’ve got e nough of ’em on hand now to last a life time. —o— If you’ve wondered from time to time why the names of draftees are not being published in the Herald of late, it’s because the Army regulations forbid such. How, you ask, do the other news papers get by with it. To which we reply that people get away with things they shouldn’t do ev ery day, but some of ’em get caught. “I have not yet begun to fight”, said John Paul Jones. Wouldn’t that slogan be adaptable to today’s American Navy? Clarence Loomis, who rates as a corporal in Uncle Sam’s Army and is stationed on an uninhabited is land in the Pacific, says mail is getting through to the boys okey, and that local people should take advantage of this and keep the boys on foreign soil informed a bout what is taking place at home. Down in Louisiana some of the girls have banded together and formed a "writers club”, the by laws for membership being that each girl shall write five different letters each week to five different soldiers stationed in Army camps abroad. Their local newspaper furnishes the names and addresses. What about such an undertaking here? —o— Your "Family Wash” has been hanging on the line for several months now. We feel a little re gretful at having to take the line down and move to another local ity. We’ve enjoyed it immensely.
