Or was that the reason a certain party
held a certain ration book.
We have several new men in the car-
penter department. All you old men be
sure to start them off on the right track.
You know how easy it is to get hurt. Now
is a bad time to get hurt on account of
the labor shortage.
The boys who were on vacation are all
back, and I haven’t heard anything about
what kind of a time they had so I can’t
pass the dope on to you.
L. B. Corey, an annuitant, paid us a visit
a few days ago. He seems to be getting
younger each time I see him. Come back
again soon.
seen on a date without his hair combed.
Ben Dumas has good news for his ex-
fellow-workers. He is enjoying life at
Ellington Field and the food is fine! All
that is wrong, he says, is that he doesn’t
get enough correspondence. We can do
something about that, can’t we?
Thanks for a pleasant sojourn as col-
umnist for B.O.W. lab.

BOW Wows
By H. W. KINSEY
If you haven’t met Mrs. Tom Fenske of
our feline department, you don’t know what
truly solicitous mothers are like. Proud
mother of three fine kittens, she is the
pride of the lab and “Ole Tom” struts as
though we were praising him! They’re
brindle and black if you didn’t know—and
three in number.
Among recent birthdays are those of
Harry King (doctor of the feline depart-
ment), Mr. Garbs (whose 21st year with
the Company he celebrates), and George B.
Carroll, whose wife entertained numerous
friends at a birthday celebration.
Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Norris
Hollaway on the new arrival in their midst,
and thanks for the cigars, Norris. You can
get some good information from Paulsel on
how to sleep lightly, either on or off your
feet. Since Paulsel’s young one got days
mixed up with nights, Bob doesn’t know
whether he’s working graveyards, days, or
is shifting.
Early departures from our organization
will be taken by Joe Nelson, Rusty Burch,
and the writer. Although we will tackle the
new work with pleasant anticipation it will
be with considerable misgivings that we
leave such an ideal working place and
such a fine bunch of fellows.
Mid-term entrants at Lee Junior College
included Norris Hollaway, Bunny Austin.
Leonard Hoppe, W. B. Morrison of this lab,
and Doc Mann lately of B.O.W. lab. A
word to the wise—word is sufficient—con-
gratulations!
Smallwood’s lab-gab: Roden, Dauphin,
Lewis and Smallwood bidding one another
farewell (each thinks the other is being
beckoned by Uncle Sam) . . . Willie Belle
spontaneously joining the Humble Club
drive . . . Jack Taylor being harried by
lately promoted first-class testers: he fol-
lowed by a day or so . . . Paulsel taking
on new life (and weight) since the 2 a.m.
feeding was dispensed with . . . Red Lewis
Foamite Foam
By TOMMIE TOMEREIN
Bill Brackin, the big thicket boy, says
there will be plenty of home-made corn-
meal and good sweet potatoes since he got
the C card.
The only way little Henry (Bobo)
Trchalek could figure for a B card was to
haul firewood twice a week.
There will soon be plenty of fresh
vegetables in the Tri-Cities. Just as soon
as the chief, R. L. Spear, gets his victory
garden to producing.
Charley Svoboda is on the sick list. Wish
you a quick recovery so you can get back
on the job.
Cliff Antonini said since Buddy Didrik-
sen is working with him again that he
will have to have an extra pound of coffee
because Buddy is still drinking O.P.’s
coffee.
C. L. Antonini and Cecil (Abie) High-
tower have turned magician. They can
make a card table walk and talk.
Big-Shot Russell now calls himself 3-in-l.
Ask the Big-Shot to explain himself.
Take a shot at the enemy and shoot
them off the pond with a war bond.
Boilermaker Bang'
By FEOYBELEA ROGERS
These boilermakers really are a swell
bunch of fellows I have found out in the
month I have been working with them.
J. H. Massey surely is proud of his son,
J. T., who is in the army in Algeria. J. T.,
mustache and all, notifies his parents he is
being kept very busy now.
P. H. Hollingshead is on vacation now
to be with his sons who are home on leave
from duty in the Pacific.
We really miss Hubert Winchester Kelso
(now better known as shot gun) who is on
jury' duty this week.
Clyde Johnson got his handsome pan on
a Coast Guard pass today.
Charlie Webber’s Bohemian apple keeps
a certain odor in our office during noon
hour.
Harry' Comes has joined Uncle Sam’s
army as a BP. Good luck, Harry.
(Bicycle Man) Frazier really was proud
of his new grandson, Dennis Loyd Ammons.
C. J. Arnold was making fun of the fat
machinist on the bus the other day. Could
he possibly weigh a pound or two more
than Arnold?????
E. L. Masterson is very proud of his
20-year pin. Congratulations, Everett.
E. P. Crow is having his teeth extracted.
I hear he has a hard time getting in the
gate with the picture he has on his badge
now. His face is twice that size now.
I guess the boilermakers weren’t the only
ones to be glad to get the Annuity & Thrift
statements this week.

WITH HUMBLE
Ordnance Office Oracle
By BORIS THAMAN
We have been having a lot of fun lately-
kidding one of our new stenographers,
Jerry Peel. She is a good sport though
and takes it all as it is meant, just in fun.
Congratulations Me and Jeanette Mc-
Elmury, it’s another boy.
Just found out that Helen Rutter was
so frightened by our Romeo, Tasker
Haynes, that she still wakes up in the
night screaming. Kitty can’t understand
why Tasker should frighten anyone.
We haven’t heard anything lately from
up front; guess our boss finally got his
chair grounded. You can ask him about
that.
We held our first daytime safety meeting
last Saturday morning. Enjoyed Hartman
McCall’s talk very much. We are going to
have these meetings now the last Saturday
in every' month for the duration.
Pate Grist is now waiting for his calf
from Uncle Sam; we all wish you luck
Pate.
Phillip Martin and wife are the proud
parents of a new daughter.
Charlie Ruckman says he wishes some-
one would invent a pipe that would stay
lit. I wish so too. Wonder if Charlie
knows why.
Helen McWhorter, I think this would be
a good job for you next month, so be
prepared.
Be careful, John, don’t let one of those
sandwiches fall on your toes.
How about helping Jerry out, folks, and
buy some of those Humble Club member-
ship cards that she has for sale? You
know her grandfather is going to donate
the cattle for the barbecue. That should
be worth the $2.00 alone.
Car Bepair Affairs
By PAUE C. KOGER
This department wishes to extend best
wishes to the sons of O. L. Ostrom, fore-
man of the car repair shop and to the two
sons of night Foreman Henry Ashley and
to the sons of Mr. Gebbs and Marshall
Rowell who are all in the services.
H. L. Waldie was a recent visitor to the
department. He is in the air corps.
T. E. Boatwright testifies that the recent
blackout was so efficient that he found
himself astride a tank car trying to reach
the shop.
Then there is K. F. Dannels who is on
vacation. He expected to make a trip to
Oklahoma but someone reports seeing him
on Oklahoma St. Maybe his gas ran out.
E. Hawkins is also on vacation which
will take him to Rockport and other points.
Congratulations to Henry Ashley on
winning the two gallons of ice cream from
Bros. Boatwright and Evans. We are all
looking forward to the payoff.
Remember Safety First. If the rule says
“wear goggles” wear them. You can see
much more through a misty goggle than
you can through a bright glass eye.
