DUPONT BANQUET
BIC SUCCESS
Nearly Three Hundred People At
tend Monster Affair
Glorious Time Had by Dupont Employees
at the Y. M. {. A. Tuesday
Night.

Anybody employed at the
Barksdale plant of the Dupont
company who has hitherto been
Indifferent to the gospel of
Safety First, Last, and all the
Time, must have been won over
Tuesday night, April 13, at the
Safety Rally held in the gym
nasium of the Dupont "Y" at
Washburn. This event was
something for which Mr.. Knots,
Safety Supervisor at the plant,
has been working for a long
time, and too much credit can
not be given him for the concep-
tion of the idea and the thor
oughness with which it was
carried out. 1t is doubtful if
even the most enthusiastic safe
ty boos 5ers realized in advance
the tremendous aggregate effect
which the various features of
the program would have on the
men assembled; but the definite
chrystalized way in which the
general theme was presented
could not fail to get under the
skin of the most callous, and
without any doubt the message
conveyed to the audience will be
reflected in the future attitude
of the men at the plant toward
the safety idea and the safety
practice in general.
The occasion also served to
close the affairs of the Dupont
Patriotic Association, which was
formed here during the war to
handle the collection and distri-
button of money contributed for
war relief and similar purposes,
in a convenient and systematic
manner. After the close of the
war, a large portion of the money
in the associations treasury was
devoted to the purchase of a
memorial park which was pre-.
sented to the city, and this still
left a surplus on hand, which, by
action of the trustees of the
association, was used to defray
the expenses of the Rally, eat a
good dinner, and enjoy fine
program, without any expense
to himself.
The gymnasium presented a
very pleasing appearance when
the crowd began to arrive
Large bulletins, bearing various
snappily worded notices and
slogans of Safety, and painted
in the Safety colors, green and
white, were hung on the walls
and a single broad green strip
was run the full length of each
of the six tables. contrasting
with the snowy table cloths

kept the air full of syncopatior

and then Manager F. I. Beer:
arose to open the Rally. Hi:
remarks had to do mainly witt
the D. P. A., and explained how
the Association first came int
existence; he gave a brief re
sumo of the work that was &C
complished by it during the war
and announced that the account
was now closed, in defrayini
the expenses of the rally.
When he had finished, the
knives and forks were thrown
into the high, and Oh, Boy!-

either, but nice, juicy slices that
melted in their mouths-mashed
potatoes and "beggies'', creamed
peas, salad, rolls, cranberry
sauce, and on top of that, pie a
la mode and coffee! How does
that sound, as we reel it off!
Someone was heard to remark,
beforehand, Il wonder if those
ladies realize that they We got
about three hundred very hun
CRY men to feed Well, we
would hazard the guess that the
Catholic Ladies have been in
that business for some time; it's
one of thesbest things they do,
and there were no empty spaces
left in any one when it came
time for the cigars.
During the dinner, the North
land College male quartette gave
two numbers, "The Winter
Song" and Haul Away, with
encores relative to "Old Mac
Donald" and "The Boy "The
Teacher and the Tack. Mr..
Carlson rendered the 'Berceuse'
from Jocelyn. by GODDARD, on the
violin, accompanied by Mr..
Thayer.
While the meal was still in
progress, the fellows at Table
No. 5 suddenly decided to count
noses, and discovered to their
horror, that there were just
thirteen. Safety First!' they
yelled in concert, and kidnapped
a man bodily from the adjacent
table to break the spell.
After the smokes were distri-
buted, Mr.. Beers arose and in
troduced Mr.. Michael Dillon, of
Ashland. as the orator of the
evening, and those who sat and
listened to the address that
followed, envied the talent of the
man who, with almost no time
for preparation, could take hold
of subject with which he had
no very intimate experience,
and say so many thoroughly
worthwhile things about it in
such a pleasing and entertaining
manner. Mr.. Dillon first com
plimented the d. P. A. on it's
work during the war, and then
went on to the subject of Safety.
He contrasted the attitude of
the employers and employees of
forty years ago with that of the
men today, as regards safety
and general welfare, showing
the great advances that have
been made along this line. He
spoke partly from his own ex-
perience, and drew on an ap-
parently inexhaustible fund of
reminiscence and anecdote to
illustrate the points he wished
to make. His ready wit and
sound common sense were much
appreciated, and his subtle tri-
butes to the ladies were espec.
tally enjoyed. Everybody was
sorry when he stopped.
Features Of the evening were
piano duets by Mr.. and Mrs.
III. O. Thayer and violin select
ions by 'r. Carlson, with sing
ing of humorous numbers
adapted to the occasion by the
Northland Quartette. A safety
film, "The Rule of Reason" was
shown as was also two comedy
films. August Rave and Jens
Albrechtson furnished this part
of the program.

Written in Outlook Comes 10 Defense of
Much Abused Telephone Girl

In the current issue Of Outlook there
is an article by Sherman Rogers entitled
Hello. Central II Is written by man
who married Hello girl and he should

The article on the whole IS a defense Of
the girl at the telephone switchboard, and
this IS time when such defense IS very
much to the point With al public utilities
suffering from the war and reconstruction
periods, an additional burden has been
thrown on the trained telephone operator
because Of the shortage OF equipment and
the fact that many new girls not yet

ample Of heroic deeds done by telephone
