FOUNDRY SPARKS
By Sand artist

Good morning, M, how is M. E.?
Its poor moulder who can't make his
own scrap.
Tenor singer! That's me, Mr.. Editor.
| can do two mems work at that Job.
You see, worked for the Singer Co.
once-yes, pounding sand.
''Has anybody here seen Casey? If he
was around here Paddy day, no one saw
him.
Instead of pounding your head off so
you can sit down for an hour or so, why
not work little slower, and try to learn
something about the work you are work
ing on.
The boys who have been on binder
frames, are now working on truck wheels
that is, two of them. B., who was
head moulder, is now on floor by him
self doing light work. He deserves few
roses, as he has had mostly all hard graft

g, 400 frames. There are 81 cores in each
frame, some three feet in length. Now,
the core makers can lay on their oars and
rest up little.
Those of you who are working brass
patterns, do you have trouble in getting a
lift in the morning? If you will run your
hand in your sand heap, you will find it is
hot; open out your sand so as to let the
heat out. Don't riddle hot sand on pat
terms. If so, ram lightly as possible and
you will have no more trouble.
Mr.. Hughes, one of our night sand cut
tiers, when he came to work Saturday ev-
ening, was accompanied by his son, boy
of some eight years of age-a sweet, low
able child. More than one of us thought
of home and mother; others of their own
dear loved ones. Some possibly wished
they were child again at mothers knee
Anyhow, it's to be hoped all our thoughts
were beneficial, for he was bright, man.
ly little boy.

rily in shop L.
One parole violator was returned last
week, and will have ample time to think
how it happened.
Bet two bits that our band uniforms will
be something swell, judging by the time it
is taking to make them.
You can't accomplish very much by sit
ting still and singing ''Rescue the Perish
ing Get up and ger busy.
Guard Husting was very busy with the
big motor truck this week hauling ma
chimes to the depot down town.

TWINE OUTPUT INCREASED

An extra shift of fifty men has
been put on to operate one of the
four systems of the Irvine factory

was made necessary by the large
number of Irvine orders being re-
ceived with machine contracts and
from customers who could not be
supplied from the regular output of
nineteen million pounds.

Our Mucker's Melody
Here's to the Muckers, come fill your

digging up;
Picking away in the hard frozen ground,
Frying and pounding, and gadding

Smashing the boulders with well-aimed

Being Mucker in winters no joke
Moneys not their object, and riches not
their goal,
Still they re most happy when they re in
a hole,
Ganging gauges and shooting the shoots,
Mud in their gizzardes, and mud in their
boots,
Mud on their mugs only adds to their
joys
