the honor OF helping to restore several

Lieut.. Cummings had q force Of only
seventeen men to attend to the gassed.
He said:
I'VE went forward with the Eighty

DEAR FOLK,

test it's value. a
I have been telling you
about the Wilson & Co.
Certified Ham and Bacon
and I have not the slight.
est doubt that many of you
have already made a salts
factory test of their excel
lent quality-but I thought
I would try an experiment
the other evening.
I bought a Wilson Certi-
fed Ham and had it cooked
for dinner. I invited sew
eral friends to take dinner
with me. I did not tell them
that they were being served
with a Wilson Certified
Ham. I did not ask them
how they liked it. I knew
it had been cooked just
right and I think I know
how to slice ham as we'll as
anybody. I waited to hear
expressions of opinion from
my guests.
One-a young lady who is
a secretary to the National
Honor Guard of the Saliva
ton Army, started the ball
rolling by remarking to my
daughter: "Why, Eleanor
where did you buy this
ham? 1t is the most deli
cious / ever ate"
Then another guest, who is
a Y. M. c. A. secretary,
spoke up and said: isn't
this ham wonderful? Why
it melts in your mouth, and
what a delightful favor it
has"
And so it went, all around
the table. Everybody expressed
very favorable opinion as to
the quality and taste of the
ham.
You know a Wilson & Co. Ger
tilted Ham is big enough to
serve many people. There were
several people as guests at my
table-a couple of them being
golfers, with very keen appe-
tites-yet there was enough
ham left to serve a couple of
luncheons to several people.
When l told my guests finally
that they had been served with
a Wilson & Co. Certified Ham,
they said to me: 1--WE don't
blame you for being so enthu-
siastic about the quality of the
foods prepared by that firm.
They certainly make good all
of your claims about them"
Then they asked me lot of
questions about my experience
with the workers in the Will
son & Co. organization, which
I answered, but they were es-
pecially interested in story
l told them about the Good
Fellowship Clubs which have
been organized in the Wilson
& Co. plants.

Fellowship Club members in
the New York plant gave me
the cue to tell them how Won
derful the workers are and how
they pull together for their
own betterment, as we'll as for
the betterment of the business.
The New York Fellowship
Club was Just getting under
way. They held an election of
officers and they elected the
General Manager of the New
York plant as their President.
There is no Aristocracy of
Workers in the New York or
any other plant. Officials and
the rank and file of workers
mingle together on the same
platform of brotherhood and sister
hood.
One of the incidents of the meeting
of the New York Fellowship Club
that impressed me was that two

land this fall. and unless severe wealth
er should kill the birds sportsmen in
Sussex county will have one OF the
best seasons for years Rabbits and
quail have not been so plentiful for
years.
There is only one obstacle that may
prevent gunners having a good time ana
tagging much game when the quail and
rabbit season opens the middle Of No

OF dogs owned by rural folk and towns
people. Many Sussex county spOrtsmen
contend that I'm the early fall when
dogs are permitted to roam the woods
day and night in search Of game, more
rabbits and quail are killed than during
the cunning season. Birds and rabbits
usually have their beds in clumps Of
grass along bitches and edges OF woods,
and at night the dogs steal upon them
and devour them. They are unable to
get away because Of darkness.
