‘Tom Wolfe Spends Leave at Home 
ee Tom. a Wolfe, now in Uncle Sam’s 
- military service, writes from his sta- 
- tion at Texarkana that he spent a 
- recent leave in his home town of 
- Waco and found everything at the 
greenhouses (to which he formerly 
gave much of his attention) in apple- 
ie order. To quote him: 
“Tast week I returned to Waco 
r a.few days’ leave, and it was 
d to be home for the first time 
in over three months. Much to my 
_ surprise I found two houses of the

ter than if I were there. Several 
houses of lilies timed right for Eas- 
ter were inspected and were in their 
prime, as well as many other items. 
All in all, I never saw our place 
look so spic and span and at its 
best.” 
Mr. Wolfe (or rather 1st Lt. Wolfe) 
wrote to say he had missed certain 
issues of the SF, and he likes to 
keep up with trade affairs and the 
people in the flower business. No 
doubt his request of some time back 
still holds good, that his friends 
write him. Address it: Thomas J. 
Wolfe, 1st Lt. Ordnance, Texarkana, 
Texas.

Pribble derived satisfaction 
from teaming up with a Beverly 
Mrs. 
Hills, Cal., florist, Hahn’s, in stag- 
ing a wedding. Mrs. Hahn took the 
order, went to Mrs. Pribble’s whole- 
saler to purchase the flowers, and 
Mrs. 
Pribble installed the decoration in 
the post chapel at the nearby Army 
base. “It was a very pretty wed- 
ding, all in white. Callas, stocks 
and carnations were used—very 
pretty because of the chapel’s dark 
wood finish. Just another example 
of what can be done by wire.” 
Mrs. Pribble says her son Iris has 
been in Alaska since Dec. 11; he 
was happy to learn that his brother 
Foy was still alive though a pris- 
oner of the Japs. He was so happy 
(and so homesick) he sent a cable. 
She mailed him a copy of the SF 
by way of cheer. .

metal to make them. Give it now.
