DENSE FOG CAUSES

A dense fog has enveloped the
passage way between the Gum Cut
ting Department and the Packing
Room, due to steam leak along
our creek bed. Several accidents
may already be traced to this.
Chris" while delivering the stock
from the Quarter Room bumped
into Scheeler and his old faithful
wheelbarrow. Both machines were
able to proceed under their own
power, however. More serious was
the collision in which Alice Moser
and a strange man were involved.
While Alice was bound for the Re
ceiving Department she ran head
on into man. While not seriously
injured she had to be taken to her
home by the factory physician. All
sorts of wonderful romances are
suggested by collision of this sort,
but Alice aserts that she doesn't
have an idea who the hero Tor vii
