TASKS OF SHIPFTTTER

Up to Him to See the Job Is
Flawless and Ships
Seaworthy

Shipfitting is one of the most impor-
tant trades in the shipyard The July
number of the Chester Compass de-
votes much space to the men who do this
work in the Chester yard. One contrib
utor to the paper asserts that the yard
with the best filters will turn out the
ships that will lick the Kaiser.
The duties of the shipfitter. sometimes
called a fitter-up, are gone into at length
and for the first time the outs side world
is given a clear idea as to the part these
craftsmen play in the building Of our
great emergency fleet Shipfitters are
not so plentiful as some of the other
shipworkers.
The snpfitting trade requires consider
able training. A blackboard is little
help to a shipfitter. He must work out
his problems right on the job Class
room instruction only starts him out to
learn now to do things on the shin
There are so many differences in con-
struction that shipftter is continually
called upon to master some new prob-
lem. This makes the trade fascinating

ward Speechmaking Effort
of Chester Demosthenes

A bouquet of choicest war-garden
vegetables now reposes upon the desk
of F. Hickman at the Chester shpyard.
Thereby hangs n tale of a dance that
is still a fresh topic at the Chester ship
yard. although it came to an end off,
c!ally last Saturday morning about
never mind the hour. Nearly every
body who was there showed up for work
about the usual time. anyway.
TO go on with the tale: Hickman
made speech, addressed mainly to the
ladies. II was his first platform effort,
and while it was pretty good and all
that, 1iIl there were few jokers who
thought that beets, spuds, carrots and
thyme were better than flowers for the
occasion
So that's what Hickman got. He was
good enough sport to accept them with
polite bow and still nourishes them
every morning and evening with fresh
water
one point Of Hickman's speech made
a great hit. He suggested another
dance This one was complimentary
! The next time there will be a charge, sc
that the service department can gel
more money for play for boys and girls
at the plant. The idea was taken right
up. and something is bound to come
| from it very soon, II is thought
The dance will be held at the Chester
Armory, and there is talk of setting ths
clock away back this time. Moonlight
rather than daylight is the thing to bt
