MTNGLES GARDENING
WITH SHIPBUILDING
New Jersey Yard at Gloucester
Beautified by Supt. Davis's
Landscape Artistry

NJ a. Davis, superintendent of the
Gloucester. besides being shipbuilder
is somewhat of Landscape gardener.
The men of that yard boast the best
looking shipyard in the country. The
Pennsylvania yard. right next to it. is
cluttered with a lot of steel. ship parts
and one thing and another hence 1t does
not afford the same possibilities for de-
veopment as the New Jersey plant.
The big green lawn in front of the
main office is one Of Daviss works.
The parking along the automobile road
leading into the yard is another. Men
are constantly looking after the grass
and other things that beautify the pace.
Not that Boss Davis cant find any
thing else for them to do. He just
naturally likes the country and tries to
make his big shpyard look as countri-
fed as possible. Moreover. he believes
it pays to give his men a bit of rustic
scenery right in the yard to help them
through the weeks grind.
A stranger is struck with these and
other things there All the | 'idings
are plainly marked with name plates
this is the blacksmith shop" and this
the plate and angle shop" etc. There
are not so many visitors at these places
save on launching and other big occa
siCns, but the yard boss says 1t pays tC
show them Il good time wheh they dc
come.
This Is not all. Every road and by
road in the yard has a name, taier
from names of the various foremen
For example, there is Yerkes street
named after Dave Yerkss in charge o
the machinery erecting and repair shop

ten company used one man, who had
suffered the loss Of leg, first as

he did such effective work in both po-

taken on wounded soldiers as rapidly
