In case you ever need the
services of a traffic cop, see

one recent afternoon.
Margaret Wasserman (oil
tester) is the recipient of a let
ter from soldier in the Central
Pacific who received her gift
of cigarettes which was sent
through the CIO. An excerpt
from the letter follows:
To-day l received your most
welcome gift of cigarettes. The
smokes come in mighty handy
and will taste better than any so
far. It's swell of you patriotic
people back home TO be so kind
for naturally it boosts our mo
rale.
This clearly indicates how
much the service men appre-
ciate every little act we do for
them. Why ca It we show them
our appreciation by contributing
readily to the weekly soldier
collection? While we're on the
subject we'd like o pat the boys
in the engineering department
on the back for their coopera-
ton each week on the collection.
Thanks lot fellas.

Mabel Mcdowell, inspector in
Dept. d. celebrated another
birthday week ago Wednesday
by bringing in candy for her CO.

she's sweet sixteen and never
missed a kiss. We all say a
belated happy birthday and
many more kisses. Mabel never
let's the soldiers fund down.

Who is the assistant foreman
on nights who doesn't like COM
munity song tests? Remember
John, all work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy.
Charles Hanefield objects 10
us printing anything he says
about his car. So maybe we
shouldn't tell you that he has re-
moved his motor and installed
foot pedals to make sure his car
will run. War time economy?
Gayle Goldsworthy has the
only "jet propulsion" car in the
plant. We know it because we
saw and heard it whistle and
smoke.
Ask Nick Carney about the
inspection tour Ed Schneider,
Bob Peconge, A. Bell and he
made at Willow Run. The trip
was made in Carney's covered
wagon" Outside of a few break
downs (every mile) the trip was
uneventful.
Department ID has been perk-
ing along the past two weeks
very smoothly even with Mr..
Waters gone. Goes to prove that
the people get their work out
without someone cracking the
whip over their heads constant
