Well, folks here | am. didn't
know how important | was until
the stenog in the office pulled a
dime out of my pocket book for
a bowl of chilli, for adding so
end by not being here to write my
much extra work to her the week
colmn. She told me that | was
the most sought after person in
the city. That the phone rang
continusously mquiring about me.
You know, people are funny
creatures, when | write my column
they say | shouldn't, and when
l don't they ask why? So. what
are you going to do to pacify the
public?
The boss granted me few
days off last week to run over to
the Spa and make an inspection
of the place where the suckers
will start losing their shorts
next week. 1t looks as if it is 60
ing to be a swell trap this meet.
The interesting thing is how the
three-ball men are busy building
shelves and making room for a
new supply of goods that they
are expecting to arrive few
hours after the ponies start to
running. Everything is in readi-
ness over there, and believe me
you, l will be back over there.
/ notice that the government
put rubber under rationmg to
put us on leather, and now they
have put leather under ration
ing to put US on our feet. l hope
been a long time since I have
they slip somewhere, for it has
had to do any crawling.
While in the Spa, ! went to
see some of the guests that we
have been sending over there for
mentioning. / am telling you it
is fine place to be but, can't
cherish the idea of paying for
some one else's vacation when |
haven't had a vacation in my life.
When business is good at the Of
flee | don't have time and when
business is slow enough for me
to take one l don't have the
money.
/ noticed while I was away,
that the local auxiliary of the
female morale club is keeping up
its work and strong. You know
this club gets pretty patriotic
around the first Of the month.
All soldiers, according to the
club need their morale lifted, and
the local femmes are not going
to let their end lag, even if it
means free trip to Hot Springs.
Active members Of the club
this week according to the men
in blue are: Louise Reddick, 800
w. Ninth and Irene Arnold, of
the same address. These girls
form their club at 500 w. 9th ac-
cording to Burgy and Kelly. They
qualified by paying $40 after
spending day waiting.
Another auxiliary was formed
at SIT w. 9th, and we find Carl
Stone of that address, wonder
why? He is no soldier, his NOR
ale should be up, and the build
ing should have been left to these
feminin members, Leila Williams
of the same address and Lucicia
Stone, also Of that address fafl-
ed to qualify and were sent to
Hot Springs, while Elnora Ford
of Oil w 18th stood the test and
paid her fee according to Burgy
and Kelly.
SIT 1-2 West Eighth street,
proved just as interesting as BIT
for Ruth Kyle, from 8l3 IL W.
Eighth was busy carrying out
her end and qualified to continue
by paying the usual fee, while
her auxiliary member, Kathee
McCue Of the same address fail
ed and will have to spend a few
months with the Government in
the Spa. Burgy and Kelly again
Speaking Of morale among SOL
diers, here is a girl that colors
don't mean thing to unless they
are four corner greens border
ing white and black. This girl
Vera Lee johnson, 719 W. 10th
prefers to stick to the civilian
uplift according to Davis and
Lawson when they discovered the
works at 1906 Spring and found
c. d. Adams, also from the 10th
street address. Army or civilian
uplift, poor Vera will have to
join the members Of the morale
auxiliary over at the Spa.
