“Just a few words to say ‘hello’

that I am still is the best of health.

New President
In Charge At
Local Bank
_ The Farmers State Bank of Me-
ridian changed management Tues-
day when L. E. Waldrop and his
mother, Mrs. L. M. Waldrop, sold
their interest to his uncle, W. A.
Waldrop, of Dallas, who assumed
charge as president.
W. A. Waldrop, the new pres-
ident, has had 24 years’ experience
in the banking business, having
been connected with banks at De-
Leon, Gorman, Brownwood and
Gatesville and has been in the real
estate loan business at Dallas for
a number of years, and says that
he will endeavor to give the peo-
ple of Meridian and Bosque Coun-
ty the same accomodating service
as has been accorded them by the
former management of the bank.
L. E. Waldrop assumed manage-
ment of the bank six years ago
when his father, R. R. Waldrop,
died, and has served as assistant
cashier, vice-president and presi-
dent, and is retiring from the bank
because of expectig to be called
into the armed forces in the near
future, and says that he regrets
that circumstances prevent him
from continuing the present pleas-
ant banking relations with his
many friends and patrons and
deeply appreciates the splendid
patronage, co-operations and fav-
ors extended to him in the past.
Under his management, many
splendid improvements have been
made to the bank building and
equipment, and no city many times
the size of Meridian, has a more
modernly equipped bank that
serves its patrons in a more effi-
cient and satisfactory manner. Its
business and assets have been
gradually increased until now it
is one of the leading banks of this
section of the state.
There will be no other changes
in the personnel of the bank. Chas.
W. Fuqua, cashier; assisted by
Mrs. Lela Faye Oswald and Mrs.
Jo Beth Earle Williams, and the
new president, W. A. Waldrop, are
at your service when needing
banking accomodations and they
extend a hearty invitation to visit
the bank when they can be of ser-
vice to you.
The Tribune joins in extending
a hearty welcome to Mr. and Mrs.
W. A. Waldrop and feel sure they
will join in our activities for the
upbuilding of Meridian and Bos-
que Coutny and believe as we do
—that we really live in “the heart
of Texas.”
The Tribune has enjoyed very
pleasant business relations with
the former president of the bank,
L; E. Waldrop, who has patronized
us freely and given us considerable
printing which usually goes to the
big printing houses, because he be-
lieves in patronizing home industry
when possible, thus helping to
build up Meridian and its indus-
tries, and we join in wishing him
success in his future undertakings.

ceive his wings at Randolph Field
in about two months. Rev. Thomp-
son writes “Camp Rucker, Ala.,
is new and finished throughout in
every detail. It is the largest in
Louisiana, has 60,000 soldiers, is
located nine miles from Ozark, a
town of about 3000 population.
You can imagine the tremendous
task the little city confronts.”

Captain Cherry’s Wife,
Known Here, Knew
He Would Be Found
Staff Sgt. Wayne O. Hughs of

and Mrs. W. O. Hughes, of Mor-
The heavy burden of 24 days’
suspense lifted from the heart of
Mrs. William T. Cherry, the for-
mer Bobbie Hunter, daughter of
Robert Hunter, former Meridian
resident, and niece of Mrs. John
Lee, Friday, and all she could say
at first was said with a big, wide
grin. Her voice deserted her.
They found her at work, a tool
checker at North American Avi-
ation in Grand Prairie, to break
the news that answered her most
important question. Her husband,
pilot on Capt. Eddie Rickenback-
er’s missing plane in the Pacific,
had been picked up by the Navy
Thursday “in good condition, but
weak.”
“I knew he would be,” she said,
when she got her voice back. “I
knew they would find him. He
wasn’t the kind of guy to take
things sitting down. He’d find a
way to get through it somehow.
He’d never give up.”
Kind officials at North American
asked the girl-like wife if she
wouldn’t like to take the day off
in celebration.
‘Oh, no,” she said, ‘I’ll have
to keep on working today. I’m too
excited to go home.”
Mrs. Cherry had heard, first by
radio and then by telegram, that
her husband was on the Ricken-
backer plane. The news reached
her Oct. 25, four days after the

First Lieut. Chas. Williams ar-
rived home Sunday from the Aleu-
tians Islands region where he has
been on active duty with the army
force since April. Piloting a pur-
suit plane, Lieut. Williams has en-
gaged in combat with the Japs on
several occasions in the Kiska reg-
ion. He is on furlough visiting his

and Mrs. R. A. York, that she is
enjoying the training.
the Pacific. She said then “he’ll
find a way to come out of it—if
there’s one chance in a thousand.”
A few days later, she had a
letter from her husband’s room-
mate at Hamilton Field (Capt.
Marshall Elkins, also a former
American Airlines Pilot) and this
gave her comfort that lasted up
until the hour of good news Fri-
day. She had unwavering confi-
dence that good news would come.
“Captain Elkins told me what
kind of plane it was and what
equipment they had,” she said,
“And I knew they had better than
one chance in a thousand, I hope
they find them all. I’m so happy, I
don’t want to be the only one.”
Mrs. Cherry is the former Miss
Bobbie Hunter, of Abilene. Her

Airlines until he went into the
Army. His parents, Mr. and Mrs.
W. T. Cherry, still live at Quail.

admirer will take the news of his

FRDAY-SATURDAY
The registering of passenger
cars has been set for November
19, 20 and 21, at the public
school. The Meridian school of-
ficials are asking the people of
Meridian community to register

in order to do this work. Please
do not wait until Saturday if at
all possible to come Friday.
The bulk of Christmas cards and
parcels must be in the mails by
Dec. 1 if delivery on time is to be
assured, Smith W. Purdum, second
assitant postmaster general, warn-
ed from Washington.
Usprecedented wartime demands
and prospects of a record volume
of Christmas mail, he said, make
necesary earlier mailings than ever
before. He aid if Christmas mail
was held back by sending until the
usual time, Dec. 15 to Dec. 23,
thousands of gifts would not reach
their destinations until after
Christmas.
The extra mail cars usually used
during the holiday period are now
being used by the armed services
and extra trucks are difficult to ob-
tain.
Mr. and Mrs. Moran Dunlap and
Mrs. Levi A. Dunlap visited in Ft.
Worth last Friday.
