There are three Margaret Mar
tins living in the 900 block of

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.

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.

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.

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!

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?

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.
