Army Friend
Visits With
Joe B. Cloud
Rule — Joe B. Cloud received
a surprise telephone call on
Wednesday of last week from
Jim Slack, the staff-sergeant
of his overseas company in
World War n. Mr. and Mrs.
Jim Slack of Bloomburg, New
Jersey, accompanied by Mr.
and Mrs. Maynard Wallace of
Blackstone, Virginia, had stop-
ped at a motel in Olney in or-
der to visit another army friend
who lives in nearby Megargel.
The two couples drove to
Rule the next afternoon for a
visit. After an early supper Joe
took them out to see the cotton
in cultivation and to see irri-
gation in operation. They were
deeply impressed by all the
good farmland around Rule. It
was their first visit to the
southwest.
While making the drive they
saw two jack rabbits but were
so disappointed when they dis-
covered they had left their cam-
eras in town. Seeing the rab-
bits seemed to be the most ex-
citing thing they had seen in
Texas in regard to wildlife.
The couples left about dusk to
return to their motel in Olney.
While making their departure
they noticed all the mistletoe
in the hackberry trees. One of
the women wanted to take back
a piece with her “to get a
start”. She said that mistletoe
sprigs were real expensive in
their part of the country at
Christmas time. They were dis-
appointed for a second time
when it was explained that
mistletoe is a parasite growth
that would not transplant. Local
residents would be only too hap-
py if they could take it all back
with them since it nearly kills
some of our pretty yard trees.
Joe had not seen Jim since
August of 1945. Their visit was
a very enjoyable and memorable
one.
