Catch-All
By Jewel Marsh
Columnists, clever, would-be-
clever, and otherwise, come slight-
ly under a dime a dozen these
days, even at war-time prices. . . .
Since there’s such a plentitude of
the critters, some of them are
sure to make most of the quips
we could think up concerning a
certain news headline: “Human
Blood Tests Same as Snake’s.”
. . . But let it be recorded—we’re
refraining with an effort!

Carrying a fistful of V-mail
blanks, I. V. Cavitt from out
Claytonville way was in town
this week getting them ad-
dressed by typewriter so that
the Cavitts and Mrs. Mary
Easterwood, also of near Clay-
tonville. can be as sure as
possible that what they write
will gel through to the Cavitt
son and the Easterwood sons.
. . . The Cavitts’ son. Pvt. A.
W. Cavitt, not yet 20, is with
a searchlight division of the
heavy coast artillery. . . . The
Cavitts don’t know where he
is, whether on this continent
or somewhere in the Pacific,
but his mail goes in care of
the postmaster at Seattle,
Washington. . . . One oi Mrs.
Easterwood’s service sons,
Earl, was in World War I,
and now is in the army at
Camp Wolters, Mineral Wells
—he volunteered a few
months back. . , . Her other
service son. Pfc. Joe Essfcr-
wood. is thought to be at
Pearl Harbor. ., . She has one
son left at home.

JOTTINGS ABOUT TOWN:
Pretty Mrs. R. B. Tate, one of the
town’s newer "war widows,”
calling daughter Flolynn to supper
and remarking aside, “She doesn’t
seem to hear very well.” . . .
Dimple Ann Lawrence, blue-eyed
baby daughter of Mayor and Mrs.
J. M. Lawrence, doing the town
with Mrs. Bill Morton and taking
up with a “perfectly strange
man”—namely, O, H. Berry. . . .
The Leland Glasses coming out of
the police station where they’d
been, not by summons, but on
drivers’ license business, even as
you and I. . . . Mrs. R. O. Peters
getting a box in which the Peters
dog could ride with the family to
visit Capt. Peters at his new
Barksdale field station. . . . Mrs.
Sy Dennis, Sr., of Nolan being so
proud she could hardly talk as she
escorted her furloughing one-and-
only son, nice-looking Ensign Sy
Dennis, Jr., about town Monday—
he’s been taking officer's training
at Notre Dame, and now he’ll
continue his training at Norfolk.

When Mrs. Peyton Weaver
recently donned her becoming
cover-alls and went to work
for International Harvester
company, she was almost
right back at home among
those metal implement parts.
As Sid Gracey, daughter of
R. E. Gracey of Roscoe. she
used to have her own imple-
ment business at Colorado
City, she and her sister Jane,
. . . She says that there’s a
vast difference between In-
ternational Harvester parts
and John Deere parts, and of
course it must be so. . . , But
to our un-mechanical mind,
parts are parts because metal
is metal, or something like
that.
