VERY PLEASING
OCCASION AT THE
JOURNAL OFFICE
Roy III. Flynt, Retiring Superin-
tendent, Presented Watch
By Journal Employees

At o'clock Thursday afternoon If a
stranger or one on business should
have happened to enter the Journal
counting room or any of its various
departments, strange stiffness, not
at all characteristic of a printing Of
flee, would have been noticed at once,
but if by chance the Job department
had been visited a solution of the mys-
terry would be forthcoming. Here had
gathered the employees from all over
the building with the one purpose of
honoring fer the last time a fellow
worker about to leave them for a
higher position in another state.
Miss Mary Callinan Of the clerical
force, but representing the employees
as whole. in a few but well-chosen
words BETTING the occasion, present
ed to the retiring superintendent, r.
II. Flynt, a beautiful Howard watch
as lasting testimonial of the regard
in which he is held by his associates.
Miss Callinan spoke as follows:
"Mr. Roy H. Flynt:
I'VE have assembled at this informal
gathering first of all to express the
regret which we feel. occasioned by
your resignation, and to extend to
You our good will and best wishes for
success IN your new field.
Wishing to express a stronger evil
dence of our esteem, 1 take great
pleasure, in behalf of the employees of
the K. J. Co., in presenting you with
this memorial of friendship, which
we hope will be a reminder of the
many pleasant associations spent dur
ing your 10 years of service among us
and also of the fact that the kindliest
feelings will always remain in the
hearts of the employees of the K. j.
Co. towards our superintendent.
1t was a genuine surprise to Roy
and in attempting to thank them his
articulation" was a trifle unsteady
and he had not healthy hue for q
few moments. Mr.. Flynt has been as
ISOLATED with the Journal for the past
10 years and while regrets are general
that he is to go, everyone unites in
wishing him the best of success in l31is
new calling.
