Supply

BREAKFAST AGAIN

For the second time, National
Supply played host for 95 en-
listees departing for the Navy
at a send-off breakfast given at
the Hotel Hillcrest, Feb. 26.
1t was a typical Navy send-oft
breakfast which follows the
same procedure each week. The
musical program was presented
by Marie Hoffman, who sang a
solo, accompanied by Marjorie
Cunningham, WTOL staff plan
ist.
Edward Burtwhistle, chairman
of the National Supply Unit,
gave a brief talk and told the
departing Navy men that the Ma
tional Supply workers were be-
hind the war effort and would
continue to give it their best un-
til victory had been won.
Edward Brug and Harold Nc
KinniS also gave brief talks. AS
usual, the program was broad
cast over radio station WTOL.
Charles Halteman was master OF
ceremonies.
OUR LOSS
National Supply is losing one
of its good stewards in the per-
son of Harold McKinnis of Dept.
80, who has enlisted in the Ship
Repair Unit of the Navy. Harold
is waiting for his call, which will
come through just as soon as the
unit is completed. The Navy's
gain is our loss, but we know
that it takes men like him to win
the war and don't begrudge
Uncle Sam a good nephew.
AROUND THE SHOP
Gosh but he's pretty-meaning
the helper on the "a planer in
the Navy Bldg. That comes from
taking his daily beauty maps. Try
some of Wade's treatment, you
other guys who are getting bags
under your eyes and crows feet
from trying to burn the candle
at both ends and thinking that
it gives a wonderful light.
The boys are getting more
work since the master mechanic
Dan quit hiding the cutters so
he would have to work on Sun
days. And don't deny it.
Just what is the brothers idea
in Dept. 86 who continues to in
sist that his boss take chew of
chomping terbaccy whether he
wants it or not.
Bob Conrad, formerly of our
shop, now serving in the Navy,
went throug hour jeint when he
was home recently on furlough.
He looks to be in the pink, proof
positive that there's nothing like
regular hours, proper food and
exercise to build up man. /
can't understand why some of
our unhealthy brothers don't try
this for while, especially now
that all the M.D.'s are either N
the armed services or so busy
that you have to practically die
to get them to come and see you.
Frosty Richards would like to
purchase 10 acres of good, soft
loan sand ground that can be
walked on barefooted and be
planted with pink tulips.
We are all glad to see Jimmy
Snyder back to work after his
recent illness. He's a great guy
and we're glad he's better.
Harold Jones, the hill billy of
Dept. SO, is jealous of the other
guys red apple club. 1t looks
like he finally made the grade.
And while on that subject, l
would like to remind some of
the publicity hounds that they
ought to remember that even a
reporter can be bought.
We wish George Schultz
speedy recovery. He is home re-
covering from an injured leg.
Art Cowell extends his thanks
to the Unit for the flowers at the
time of his sisters death.
Two big events in the life of
Dick Gueldenzoph of Dept. Sc.
He acquired new wife and lost
an old mustache. He still wears
the pants-at work.
To Boob" Benson-what the
L happens to all the coffee, the
guys on days want to know. 1t
takes more than coffee to bring
back the old WHY'S Boob
drove. 1t has gone the way of all
flesh, or tin, or somethin'.
