Nelson Encourages
Workers. Vacations

Donald NJ. Nelson, WPB chair
man, encourages vacations for
workers. He asks management
to use its ingenuity SO that abb
sences will not interrupt produc-
tion. He suggests: % spread va
cations over the year, (2) addi-
tional overtime for workers not
vacationing, (3) special training
for substitutes-doing work a.
head in departments affected. His
reason: Experience here and
abroad is indicating that the
worker, even when stimulated by
urgency of the allied war situa-
tion, cannot work long hours and
maintain peak output Indefinite
ly-some rest period this year is
going to prove doubly effective
in the restoration Of his energy

Well boys | guess can finally
find something to write about.
The lake is low again this spring
but the water is in good condi-
ton in spite Of that.
Herman Hart opened the sea-
son by falling in the lake the
first thing this spring. He went
home in a lady's dress. Good
fishing, Herman.
Paul Bernard is going to take
a fish management agent along
the next time he goes to the riv-
er so he can tell whether or not
he is catching carp or suckers.
Ask him about it boys.
The bass opened up with a bang
Thursday, and Friday was the
top day. Several of the boys
caught their limits.
Jim Wright and Pappy caught
a limit apiece of nice ones.
Ram Stargell from the POGO
club at the Pure Oil, has come in
with at least four every time he
has been out except once and
then he got five.
Bill Reynolds who (also works ?,
at the Pure Oil, caught a nice
51a pound bass. Between the bass
and his new son he was quite
puffed up.
A Ingold has been trying
says everything comes to he who
waits. Well, don't wait too long
Art or the season will be over.
Bill Hughes and Bill Hursey
are at it again. Several nice mess
es of crappies and a couple of
(big) cats, a to 6 pounds each.
"The Campbells are coming"
Bob Campbell and pop can be
seen any week end now trying
for bass and cats.
All Duemmel of the Evans ce-
ment company seems to have bad
luck. He has tried to go fishing
several times but no go. He got
up Sunday morning to go after
crappies and thought Of freezing
to death, so went back to bed.
Got lots of minnOws on hand
and have q fine time watching
them swim around in the keep"
Who wants minnows when the
lake is "froze" over?
1t is even too blasted cold to
write any more, SO will be seein'
you next summer-BOB.

Bob is the new traffic manager
at the boat landing. Seems like a
couple of fishermen were helping
Bob put his boats away. All at
once the ''boss" quit and began
directing the rest Of the crew.
