Mrs. Norton Wins TV Set
by Frank Smith
Mrs. Violet Ray Norton
firmly believes that a few well-known words are worth more than
thousands of idle spoken ones. Recently she entered a letter of less
than 100 words in a contest sponsored by a furniture company in
Conyers and won top price - a beautiful $800 television set.
A red-headed Texan from
Beaumont, Mrs. Norton came to Milstead with her husband Dan, in 1945
after he had received his discharge from the U. S. Army. He had been
stationed in Beaumont.
She says that the best
prize she ever won resulted from less than 100 words which started
her acquaintance with Dan the day that official business brought him
into her office in Beaumont, where she was Clerk of Court. Those
words were enough to convince him that she was the girl for him and
on August 23, 1944, they were married. They have a two-year-old,
Debbie Lynn.
Violet is employed in the
Milstead Spooler Room and Dan in the Card Room. |
