1t is very important that the
boys and girls stay off of the street
corners, and with all the different
activities at Halle Q. Brown House
we are sure that they can find one
that they will be very much in
terested in.
The Hollow playground is under
supervision every day and will re-
main open for play until dark
every evening, so why not send
your boy there to take part in
some of the games. We have out
door basketball, horseshoes, kitten
ball, league ball and other games
which will interest boys.
At Halle in the Gym the boys
may enjoy the fine showers that
we have and ping pong table games
and they will find some very inter
esting books in the library about
their favorite hobby.

GOOD ADVICE TO HEED

May request that before you
make the decision to leave the
Twin Cities Ordnance Plant for
other work, think it over carefully.
1t is not so easy to get back on the
payroll and when you do ask for
reassignment you have lost your
seniority rights. After all, this
plant is a nice place to work and
the pastures are not so green else
