Pins and Needles!

  Feeling a little nervous or
apprehensive today?
  As it turns out you are
suppose too!
  You see November 27th
is "Pins and Needles Day!"
   No kidding!
   You might think is has
something to do with the
fact the countdown to
Christmas is now underway
and most of us have a lot of
things we've got to do before
the big day arrives.
    Actually "Pins and Neddles
Day" dates back to 1937 when
a Pro-Labor play by that name
opened at the Labor Stage
Theater in New York City.
    It was produced by the
International Ladies Garment
Workers Union.
    The ILGWU had a lot of
members here in northeastern
Pennsylvania. Those members,
women for the most part, helped
the area survive at a time when the
Coal industry was declining.
     They were tough gals!
     I think we should observe the
day if only as a tribute to all they
did!
     And most of us don't have to
look very hard to find a good
reason why we should be on pins
and needles! My untouched
Christmas shopping list is a good
example.
      That will probably go from
Pins and Needles to DEFCON ONE
just before Christmas Eve!
       Hope whatever has got you on
Pins and Needles will soon be
resolved!
       That way all your NEWS will
be good!
