BETHLEHEM TEAM
TAKES FIRST AID
TROPHY IN MEET
Steelton Rolling Mill Team
Takes Third Prize; Beth
lehem Girls Second

With the Cottage Hill Athletic
Field crowded with spectators. the
fifth annual interdepartment and in
terplant first aid meet of the Beth
lehem Steel Corporation was held
on Saturday. Fourteen teams COM
peted, among them five teams from
the Bethlehem plant, three from
Steelton, two Reading teams, one
Lebanon team and three from Spar
rows Point. The teams marched to
the field from the general office,
headed by the Steelton BandN and
mittee of the local plant.
The first problem was given short
ly after 2 o'clock. OF the fourteen
competing, five teams failed to make
perfect mark on the first prob
lem. The teams failing were the
Bethlehem Drop Forge, Steelton
Steam Department, Lebanon HIa-
chine Shop, Sparrows Point Machine
Shop and Sparrows Point Machin-
list Outfitters. In this problem the
Steelton Steam Department receiv-
, ed mark of 80 per cent. This left
nine teams with perfect scores. The
second problem was performed per-
fectly by all the teams and all re-
ceived a hundred per cent. The
Sparrows Point Machine Shop fell
down on the third problem.
1t was supposed that three prob
lens would be sufficient to pick the
winning teams, but the end of the
third problem left eight teams with
perfect scores, and 1t was necessary
to give extra problems. One extra
problem took the Bethlehem Ma
chine Shop team out of the running.
The second extra problem took the
Steelton Machine Shop, the Spar
rows Point Joiner Shop and the
Reading Machine Shop out of the
contest. There remained then only
two Bethlehem teams, the Steelton
Rolling Mills and the Reading Fac
tory. One more problem suff1ced to
put the Reading team out of the
running. The final decision gave
the first prize, 800 to each member
of the team in addition to the tro-
ply, to the Bethlehem Merchant
Mill; the second prize, $50 to each
member of the team, to the Bethle-
hem General Office Girls; and the
third prize, $25 to each member Of
the Steelton Rolling Mills.
