" Machine Shop
 Picnic Aug. 22nd

Starting at 10 a. m., Sunday, August 22nd, workers in the Vic tory Yard Machine Shop will for get their important job, the nine hour day, gas rationing, etc, and relax and enjoy themselves in celebration of their first year to- gether.
 The committee has worked hard and long making necessary ar rangements and Russell Cochran, chairman, announced today every thing is ready for the all-day out ing.
 Browning's beach, located op- posite Cinderella Inn on the New London Norwich Road was chosen as an ideal picnic spot. Here, you can go swimming, relax, dance, or join in softball and other games, which have been arranged with the idea in mind of having the facilities for everybody to do as they desire-just one big happy family.
 A caterer will serve clam chow der, steam clans, chicken, mixed Italian salad, watermelon, corn on the cob and bread and butter. Yes. and there will be bar on the premises.
 Enthusiasm is running high among the shop workers and as many as five hundred are expect ed to grab this opportunity to get away from 1t all and blow off steam.

to call him out for another curtaln< curtsey. MT. Acker, who looks more like John DeGange than Handsome John himself, is a like able and sincere young man whom we meet chiefly across the tops of dinner tables at SUB parties, but in writing that plea which is not going to get him anywhere except with the men in the yard, who can't do anything for him, he showed a lot of courage. MT. Ack- CT, it seems, has heart as well as ability, a very nice combination indeed.
 I have sometimes thought, while leaping like a tuna from my bed at the sound of the alarm in what seems like the middle of the night, of the poor guys from Willimantlc, Norwich or like spots who have leapt from their downy couches an hour ago and are already en route to work. If there must be nine-hour day, and 1t seems there must, can't it begin and end an hour later? Anyway, how about rearranging the lunch hour so that instead of working a six-hour stretch from six to twelve without break, the workers could eat at eleven, splitting the day up more equally? It seems to me that the mornings must be unbearably long, almost gruelling, as they are, and efficiency would be increased by advancing the lunch period, at least half an hour, if not a full hour.

 Vito and John are Groton boys and have worked hard to accomp- fish a goal in this business. Vito, the older of the two brothers, was formerly employed by the Electric Boat Co.,, and John is still em- ployed in the yard as an electri- clan.
 This store should be welcomed by the townspeople with open arms for it's convenience and complete stock, and all their friends here in the yard wish them the best of luck in their new adventure.

 LAW OL '' Having been in Washington each week for the past several weeks we have been able to get our ear to the ground in important spots. One sub- ject constantly comes up as a prime topic of conversation:
 MORE PRODUCTION In visiting some of the hospitals where the wounded men who have given everything they had for us back home and, have been invalided back, we wonder why 1t seems to be necessary constantly to keep dinning the home folks on the same subject of greater pro- ductiOn to support those boys who producing every atom of energy and bravery possible for a human body to produce. Their job calls for the ultimate in efficiency, any and all hours of the day and night and, the government sees to it that they are properly fed to give their last ounce Of energy.
 Absenteeism with them is just plain "AWOL" and it rates and gets se- were punishment. You're in the Army now" means you take your job seriously or else. Here's an excellent illustration of how seriously these fighting men take their jobs. The story IS official.
 There was to be bombing mission directed at Wake Island. The men in Sgt William E. Campbells outfit drew lots for the privilege of going out to do the job. When Sgt. Campbell won the lucky draw, the other members of his outfit started bidding, like at an auction sale, for his place to do a job from which he might we'll never return. No Absenteeism in that outfit. Not with bids going from $1OO up to s, ,OOO (which Sgt. Campbell turned dOwn) 10 buy his place and privilege to go on that mission and deal out death and retributiOn to those slant eyed little sons of heaven those shrimp knife stickers who sneak up from the back.
 Imagine offering $1 ,OOO for the priv ilege of doing a job for ones cOun- try. According to the yardstick of wages here at home, it takes game guy on sergeant's pay to turn down one grand just like that. Sgt. Campbell did his job and has since been decorated bv the government for the outstanding manner in which he did it.
 So, taking the feel of things we got in Washington about lack of pro- ductiOn to support those fighting boys, and then .. adding it up to the fact that one of these same boys refused $1 ,OOO to risk his life to do his job .. we can't make sense out of it as com pared to the pleading here at home to get us to give all we have to our jobs; keep properly fed; have less absenteeism and produce MORE. Trying to see where we could better do our job we thought of how statis- tics show that at least 15f6 of absenteeism is caused by improper and poorly prepared food. While we have been trying our best to supply top grade food in well balanced meals we shall try even harder properly to do this job, knowing that if YOU are expected to do your utmost, we, too, should do ours.

After Dark
News and Comment of the Night Clubs
BY the Spectator
Trade Registered U g Patent Once

It was written in the stars that
once gas rationing, the pleasure
driving ban and those other trans
portation perpleXities went into
effect, the entertainment industry
would not be tardy coming onto the
scene with a large repertory OF
stunts related to The Crisis Trans
pOrta ation provided new and in
vigorating theme for jaded press
agents in their eternal search for
artificial news. How gleefully that
guy named Moe must have assaulted
his typewriter when he prepared his
first release 800 candid photos in

DerviSh now COmmutes between
home and studio in a platinum
plated scooter. With what tremb-
ling fingers must the Ice-Capades
tub-thumping corps have dialed
the photographers, requesting that
they casually drop by the Arena at
such q time as the horse and buggy
delivery service went into action on
behalf of patron and publicity. How
importantly the executive cigar
smoke must have swirled and eddied
as The Stables decided on a coach
nd-two pickup service for its
clients.
But the brains behind Paul
Young's up on Thirteenth street
have gone the field about 90 per
cent better, The policy committee
Of that place of evening revelry an
nounced that it will sponsor a con-
test to see who can devise the most
novel q. e.. stark mad"D means
Of transporting himself to Paul
Young's. This is effective on the
night of February 10. Carefully
adjusting its hat sidewise, like Ma
poleon's, the management looks the
public square in its incredulous eye
and adds that pogo sticks, roller
skates, baby carriages and bare back
camels are by no means barred
from the competition. Titering, hee
hee, Paul Young's declares it act
ually encourages such like.
Invited as special competitors
will be all local night clubs, which
are supposed to send one employe
each as representatives of their in
genuity. Each will be treated to a
free meal, and the preson who allows
his ingenuity to run away with him
completely is to receive War bond
as prize.
Streetcar travel, deserving as it is,
may not be submitted in the contest;
although suits of reinforced armor
with helmet are contemplated as
consolation awards for those who
wedge and batter their way to Paul
Young's in that manner.
Next Friday the Wardman's
Metronome Room falls in line with
the 1943 Victory Book Campaign,
which collects and sends good read
ing matter to our armed forces. On
that evening patrons are of course
urged to bring in whatever books |
they may have lying idly around. |
Metronome will cooperate to the |
extent. of waving the minimum !
charge for persons bringing in at |
least one item for the campaign.
The official campaign song, Call |

feature of the evening, as played by

fact, is making its Washington
