Toots From The
Round House
By Charles Erickson

Business, business and more
business, and all at one time, too!
R. A Harris figured things had
been quiet long enough on the sec
ond district SO last Saturday after
noon he piled up bunch of box
cars all in one heap at Houck. This
gave Wrecker Foreman B. F. Tram
mel a chance to test the worth lof
our new Industrial wrecker and
incidentally halted all trains for
several hours at Gallup and here.
The ''kindling wood" was cleared
away and necessary track repairs
made in record time, SO when the
trains were released they sure
came in thick and fast.
Am very glad indeed to report
that H. K Rhoton has returned to
his duties greatly improved after
three weeks in our hospital at Los
Angeles where, from all appear
ances, he was treated the best, as
are all employees.
Joe Kie is in Santa Fe, NJ NJ,
from where he will return tomor-
row with his two small boys, who
attend the Indian school IN that
city.
Walter Lewis, having always
been curious to know if the Salt
Lake in Utah had any relation to
the big oceans, made a pilgrimage
to Salt Lake City and has returned
and is again at work with sat
isfied look on his face.

Tommie Thomas making everyone
chit the ball"
Did it work? Well, anyhow, it
certainly made the boys kick loose
with some change for the American
Legion war orphans fund l re-
fer to the band concert last Satur-
day on the shop plaza, which con-
sisted of no less than three: r. G.
Abel, with his high-tuned fife,
Ed Mccormick, with snare drum,
all out of tone, and yours truly do
ing the strong-arm stuff on big
bass drum, in which we staged a
grand march that would make even
Sousa blush and probably contrib
ute to the cause-meaning the or
phans. Will add that the drive for
this cause went over big in gen
eral. Needless to say, we did our
part. Thanks, gang!
Miss Margaret Mcbride, who very
ably substituted in Mr.. Kiely's Of
flee for the last month, is lady
of leisure until Mildred (Smiles)
Suggs takes rest from her duties
of steno to Chief Clerk Mark Smith
for a couple of weeks.
Louis Naunez is again visitor to
DR.. Hathaway, this time on account
of rheumatism in his left knee
Cheer up, old fellow, it could have
been in your tongue!l
The stationary engineer on the
day shift, one John B. Camp, says
there is nothing to this thing of
working your life away, so has left
on a ten-day vacation, with his
family, to visit relatives way down
in the long horn state" in the
neighborhood of Dallas and Iowa
Colony.
Trimmed again! Speaking of
the Winslow Meteors and not a
show window. The score was a
foot race of 10 for Jerome and q
cleft at the post" for the local
boys.
They sure slung a keen party!
