E0glets Of the Sky

The heavens are dark as Eaglets fly, Huge shadows on painted sky; And far below, like cringing fowl, The enemies complain and scowl. And how they scatter, how they
 run,
 As bombs rain down, ton after ton, In greetings to a Super-Race, In heils to Tojo Saving Face. Great rice crops blackened with
 flame,
 And Armaments with Hitler's name Explode; while safe in his retreat The Fuehrer screams, There's no
 defeat'
 How long, oh world. can this go

 How long, oh man of woman born.

During a lunch period few days ago, group of us workers were discussing our Guard Force. The arguments were interesting. The guards have been on the joo for over two years now, and there are only few of the "Old Tim CTS" left now. The discussion got around to picking the best liked of all guards and why. We decided to have a canvass of the workers that we would contact during our afternoon work. The next day we added up what we found out. The majority of the fellows picked Red Hartley" our first shift traffic man. The majority was really large for him.
 He is the best traffic man we have Always ready to help fellow out Very neat in appearance,
 A regular fellow all the time, Will always answer question
 asked of him.
 That is just few reasons why the boys like Red. He is a reg ular fixture at the launchings and greets the fellows with a smile. He is only a little fellow, but he is big in a lot of ways. We un- derstand that he is now a lieu-' tenant of the guards, and instruc- tor in firearms. We hope he makes good at his new job. It would be interesting reading if some of the workers put in their opinion of our guard force. There is decided change in the type of guards we are getting around the plants now. There are some good fellows on the force now. Let's give these good fellows boost. Let's hear from some of you fellows.

 To the Editor of The Sub:
 If possible please print this pie ture in your next issue with the following notation:
 We'll, fellows, we did it again; like another K. B. Sub wins a dec- oration, so too, does another ex- E. B. worker.
 Remember him, fellows and girls Stanley Lewis from the second shift = quiet and steady, and had lots of friends here. But when Sam" needed help he left, saying: Here, hold this plate minute; it won't take long to fin- ish the job over there, and I'll be back and help square things away"
 We'll, he is doing his share, for they don't go throwing medals around over there. He is,. of course, just one of the many of our fellow workers who have left for the armed forces, but I hope we all remember them and say a prayer for their safe return to our midst.
 Also, when you see a smokes collection" jar around, drop some odd change in it for all the boys will appreciate your thought - large or small. < 1 Here's cheer for all the Boys Over There" from Us in the Plate Shop.

Something 70 Spare

If you've ever driven a car you
 know That a plug may foul or a tire
 may blow. And though you drive with reason able care, Sooner or later, you'll need
 spare. It's the same with ship, plane,
 or a gun, Except more so because they're At "all out'' speed And despite good care A spare is a very immediate need. A spare puts 8 plane back into
 the air, When it's needed to bomb and
 fight It puts new zip In battleship, And it keeps our weapons bright. It's that "extra something to spare"
 that wins
 When the going is extra tough, So give your Navy Something to Spare ON TIME and Not Ion the cuff"
