 In order to celebrate their first year of work at the Victory Yard the girls in the tin shop held banquet on September II. 1943. The banquet was also get togeth- CT SO the girls would know each other better. The banquet was held at Ye London Grill. a well known place in New London. A steak supper was served, the table was formed in the shape of 'T'' to represent the TinknockerS.
 After supper was served the girls went to the Mohican Hotel Ball Room for dancing. There is were the fun really began. Everyone en- ioyed herself and before the ban qut was over each girl knew the other one better than she knew herself. We have Winnie Wrinkle Rogers and her assistant Letitia Davis to thank for getting the girls together. The banquet con- sisted of girls only on the first shift.
 Those attending were: Winnie Rogers, Letitia Davis, Nellie Frank, Theresa Vescovi, Bernadette Ca- bral, Mary Kiely. Harriet, Fisher. Toni Mann, Loretta Sullivan, Pau line Rydell, Yeanette Rainey, Jean Craig. Lucy Mallett. Bertha Hines, Irene Edwards. Stella Cor chinSki, Gertrude Rolfe and Sadie Hunt.

AIR RA|DED
BY RUSSIANS
Aerial Operations Pressed
Now as Result Of Mud,
SIush Underfoot

MOSCOW, April 49, = Russian
planes bombed Konigsberg last Sat
urday night. This is according TO
a communique released here.
The attacking force was led by
Capt. Alexander Molodchy, who
sent message to Stain once when
he was over Berlin and dropped
bombs.
The attack revealed that as the
spring thaw has halted most OF
the major operations at the yari-
Gus fronts, the attention Of the
Russians has been turned to the
air. Apparently more emphasis is
now placed on aerial operations as
the result of mud and slush UNDER
foot.
