Heating Plant
By R. Gilbert Gardner

With the advent of cooler wealth. CT, the boiler room has sprung to full life. Moran's Winter Sym phony is now being rendered on three boilers out of five, with &C., compartment by Kress, Lewis, Scott, and others. It's a hot tune, ably played, and extremely popu- lar.
 The one flashlight in captivity hereabouts is owned by the Ad- miral, though. seldom in his pos session. A chap whose front name is Henry, borrows the flash1ight frequently to use in his work. The other day Henry was observed en- ergetically rubbing and polishing the flashlight, as he returned it. "I may want to borrow it again." he smiled in explanation. Does Henry get it? It's my guess that he does.
 Don Robbins of the main yard carbide building suffered an ac- cidenta1 wetting lately, it is al- legged. The mishap occurred while a fellow worker was flushing out the place with hose filled with cold, cold water. Plainly getting too ambitious, suddenly the hose wriggled its c1ammy nozzle up Don's port pants leg, and did little extra flushing not on the program-but very much on Don. Don, it is said, did both plain and fancy dancing for spell, but fi- nally kicked the hose clear, shook enough water from his trousers to launch our next submarine, and what he said to his fellow work CT is not known, but we surely wish 1t were.
 How Johnnie Noonan of the Maintenance Machinists picked up the title, Father Noonan,'' has made folks wonder. Was it be- cause Johnnie had become espe- cially fatherly and paternal? No. It seems that Noonan, heretofore a confirmed addict of the loWly cap, as headgear, now wears regularly swell black hat, that makes all beholders stop, look and listen and to think of him as Father"
 Whats this we hear about the Maintenance MachiniSts taking up football, in a big way? Already they have the football, an excep- tional1y we'll shaped ball, and the way it goes to town when they start it rolling makes it seem al- most human, they say.
 How did Jimmie LoGioco get to be called "One-finger Jimmie?" Was it because of holding up one finger to see which way the wind was? For days and days, report has it, Jimmie went about his work with one finger in the skies, sort of On the alert, you know. Somebody suggested that maybe Jimmie had hurt that particular finger. If not, why not?
