Congratulations are in order for Eddie O'Brien. Eddie is the father of baby girl born on May the 11th. Every one agrees that the name they picked out for her is really cute. It's Linda Jeanne O'Brien. How do you like 1t? Eddie was so excited about it that when he came in that day, he just put a box of cigars on a desk and sat near them and watched everyone help themselves as they came in instead of going around and passing them out. Vivian Oliver, Elizabeth Wells and Shirley Galipeau presented Eddie with a present and he cer- tainly was pleased.

 sigh. How many years shall we be part-

 me, To beat the Axis is what I'm work

 ways than one. We raised our bonds, work as hard
 as we can, And think it lots of fun. When I think of my youngest boy, Way out in the South Pacific, I hope his ship sends those laps To a place with one-way ticket. Now my dreaming has been

In this issue l am going to use my space on the subject of the coming Union election, which Is most important for Electric Boat Company workers.
 First in my mind is the matter of those dissatisfied men who go around the yard always complain ing about their classifications and working conditions. It is too bad that their talk is made in the Rest Rooms and other places among workers. Why don't they take their grievances to the Union Represent atives? Why don't they participate and cast their votes in electing representatives to pick out able workers who can do something for them?
 Even if they won't spend 25 cents a month to help the Union, I am sure that independent representa- tives would give them a helping hand.
 Get in line, boys. Elect your grievances and If they are not strengthened out, take them to the Union President in the main yard

Mud and water still were problems

Weatherman Roy Simpson said
there would be light showers Sat

the damage was slight, w. E. Hart

Water was cut down, Hartzog
said but there was sufficient for
domestic and stock purposes. Serv-

by Monday.

night storm, in the Tamarack dis
