ODDS AND ENDS: After con- graduating myself these years on the fact that my husband never gave me moments concern and had no rivals in the Victory Yard, I find that he, by his own admis- sion, has presented Mrs. Phyllis Carter of the Victory Yard Pipe shop Office with Hamilton watch, not once, but often. Of course, he takes it back at the end of the day, but still And then there's the guy who put on sixty pounds in a week, in the Army - two pounds of flesh and ifty-eight pounds of equipment. Young Jimmy Scroggins of the Main Yard Pipe Shop has joined the Navy at the ripe old age of seventeen. Then there's the one about Uncle Joe' Cannon, who remarked to a German that what this country needed was a good licking. The German was pleased until Cannon added, "Only trouble Is there ain't nobody can do it.

At the Victoria Shoppe, Mrs. Sitty, younger and peppier than ever af- ter her fifth son. has some new Joan Henley blouses that are hon. eys, including couple made of Nylon.
