Hello folks. Wfcat are you col

e ' That's what the majority of us
are collecting but Mrs. Andrew
Burch up on North Broad is col
lecting tiny toy shoes. Her living
room is already brimming over
with her novel collection of some of
the cutest shoes we’ve ever seen.
One little shoe is not a shoe but a
novel glass boot. Anotner that will
attract your attention is an ankle
shoe with a yellow kitty crawling
up the side. Mrs. Burch will be de
lighted to show her collection tc
those of you who might be interest
ed. P. S. If you see Bo and Huddy
stepping around in a different pair
of shoes (and fancy shoes at that)

their mother's collection . . SITES

Sprayberry—nature studying on a
hike through the woods—in his
car. (The rabbits and little folks
of the forest were probably whis
pering to each other that Hitler
had landed for a “blitzkrieg” on
the animal kingdom.) . . . The
Home Ec. room was being turned
into a newspaper office Tuesday.
The hurry and scurry and the
click of typewriters made one
think they had landed in a metro
politan newspaper olfice. Some of
the sites we saw were these: Ed
itor Carter—pacing the floor and
dictating his “Listening In” to
Hazel Rollins . . . Donald Brum
baugh—knocking out the stencil
copies on the typewriter......
Mary Wilson—assisting the Busi

Sites . . . Mr. Mac, the butcher,—
going out to lunch without his
teeth . , . Huddy Burch—pacing
the hall at the movies trying to de
cide whether to go in and see Ann
Sheridan or go home and study.
(We shouldn’t think the situation
would require so much thought,
especially the La Sheridan part.)
. . . Mr. Whitle—Uie new Indus

Farm cash income from milk
was $10,000,000 larger in August
than a year ago, according to the
Milk Industry Foundation. Total
farm cash income from milk in
August was $128,000,000 compared
with $118,000,000 in August 1939
For the eight months of 1940 milk
was the largest single source ol
farm cash income. Farm

most substantial increases in cash
income of any of the farm pro

eight months of last year, latest

. . . Izzie and Ernest Adams have
gone in for house-keeping girls.
They’ve bought some new curtains
for their room at the hotel, paint

and even have a set of books and
believe it or not—book ends! . . .
They say its a suite fit for a king!
. . . Izzie and Huddy went fishing
Saturday and took their portable
radio along, perched it up in a
tre and listened to the football
game while they fished!.....
Mary Wilson says somebody keeps
her red htir ribbon on their dress

have been Carter Moody? . . . .
Virginia Sowell was home for the

Brumbaugh is From Philadelphia

I we stated last week. We wish to
make this correction before Don

off!
Many friends of the Gray Bow
den’s will be pleased to learn that
they will remain in Porterdale and
will not move to Charleston as
was rumored ... So we will have
Junior and Bette for keeps . . . .
We would like to know why Lo
rene Hinton and Junior Tarpley
going to the movies together
should cause so much excitement?
. . . We know we have two pa
triotic lads in our midst because
we can tell from their dress. Ern
est Bennett is sporting a flag pin
on his coat lapel and Jack Grier
is wearing a God Bless America
satin emblem on his sweater front!
. . . Curley Hewell certainly grew
up mighty fast. She had a birth
day party Saturday night and
wore a hat to church Sunday
morning. (Maybe some of our
readers dq not know that Curley
is a “tomboy” and up to the pres
ent has been immune to wearing
a hat! ...)... Inez McCart
had so much to think about Mon
day morning after an eventful
week-end she didn’t have time to
study. Did you hear about her
going to the dressmaekrs the oth
er day and when the dressmaker
asked her why her waistline had
increased four inches she found
out she had forgotten to take
Dorsey’s letter out of her belt!
. . . Jeanette Andrews says they
had a live rug in their living room
Saturday afternoon. It seems all
of Johnnie and Charlie’s boy
friends gather at their house to
hear the football game and they
all lay down on the floor to take
it in! ...
