been forced to pay 10, Is and 20
cents for cigar about the quality
of the former scent smoke. -

"It's simple, if you stand still and
don't witch"
Look, how will it save smokers
so million if they pay 7k cents for
the new cigar?"
"The n-and-a-half-center will
be the same as the old nickel cigar"
but there amt been a nickel
cigar in years."

cents
"Okay. I just took another aspirin.
Go ahead"

seven and half cents for the FIVE
cent cigar for which you have been
paying six cents.'
"How does that save me so mil
lion smackers?"
Because for cigar as good as
the old-time nickel cigar you have
had to pay 10 cents.''

From now on you only pay ~
cents for what you would have to
pay 10 cents.''

money"
''How?"
cts easy. BY smoking the cigar
you may soon get through OPA
for ~ cents you will be saving
money on the cigar you never buy

half cent nickel cigar today and they.
amt out yet"
did you ask for the 71a cent
nickel cigar that cost cents up to
the time they thought up the Tx
cent cigar that will cost 10 cents?"
"Yeah."
"That leaves YOU even"
''How?"
IF you can't get the seven and
a half cent cigar you amt out any
thing, provided you don't buy some
thing else that costs more"
SIS that ad valorem or ne plus

"It's without matches, due to the
fact OPA has not acted on the
free matches now selling for one
cent that may be raised to three
cents to keep you from burning your
fingers at the pre-war level"

The rationing office here at the boat company has issued the fol- lowing request:
 Please apply for more gas be- fore you run out entirely"
 It must be remembered that it takes time for these applications to go through the proper channels, and each employee should apply for gas at least ten days before he or she actually runs out.
 It should be understood that these applications are not acted upon at the E. B. rationing office, but at the local ratiOning boards in whatever county you happen to reside, and these people are on- ly here to do you favor.

Although the final results had not been tabulated at press time. Joseph Allen. chairman of the March of Dimes committee here at the boat company, estimated that the total collections would pass the $700.00 mark.
 MT. Allen would like to express his appreciation to all those who helped put this drive across, par ticularly the time clerks in each department, and it might not be a bad idea to throw a few bouquets at MT. Allen himself for the work he has done for this worthwhile cause. All those who helped in this drive received nothing but a thank you and pat on the back for their untiring eforts, but the most credit should go to MT.

BEAR FABLE

In the woods of the far west there once lived 8 bear who could take it or let 1t alone. He would go into a bar and have just two drinks. He would reel home at night. kick over the umbrella stand, knock down the lamps and ram his elbows through the win dows. Then he would collapse on the floor. His wife was greatly dis tressed and his children were very frightened.
 At length the bear saw the error of his ways and began to reform. In the end he became famous teetotaler. He would tell every body about the awful effects of drink and would boast about how strong and we'll he had become since he gave up the stuff. To dem- onstrate this, he would turn cart wheels in the house, kicking over the umbrella stand, knocking down the lamps and ramming his elbows through the windows. Then he would lie down on the floor, tired by this exercise, and go to sleep. His wife was greatly dis tressed and his children were very frightened.

Quotes From The HiIItOps
By Gus Yering

The Main Office Stenographers are slightly up in arms over the school room jail-like treatment they have been receiving as of late. The other day they all looked like jailbirds garbed in striped clothing. Don't know what this world is coming to, girls! Guess the supers who posted the notice prohibiting the girls from talking don't know much about women If they try to keep them quiet. Heh, heh!
 There seems to be 8 little con- fugalty over in the Pay Depart ment-the machine room in partic- ular. Some of the girls can't seem to get along with some of the su- pervisors = and who can blame them.
 Much credit must be given Joe Allen for his tireless efforts in making the Electric Boat Infantile Paralysis Drive huge success.
 The newly installed buzzer sys- tenn in the invoice department be- tween Stew Leard and J. Choate Keefe seems to be working with clock like precision. What hap pens, Joe, If you and Stew wish to speak at the same time?
 Due credit must be given to Herb Williams and his Bond De- partment for their successful drive in making the E. B. employees Ward Bond conscious in the 4th War Loan Campaign. Also credit should be given to the time clerks and leading men who helped to push their department quotas over the top.
