That's less work than the method we were using, which was: put the worm on a block of wood A, put block of wood B on top of block A, and pump up and down on it..

Former FEB Worker Pays Tribute to

0OuCnWeSC EACutG The following is an excerpt from a letter from former E. B. worker sent to Miss Anna Doyle of the Main Office Stenographic Depart ment.
 How is everything in Groton and the E. B.? You know that l am very far away from home and I never thought I would hear so much about New London and the Electric Boat Go. The Navy has given the E. B. a great name here in the Southwest Pacific Even in Sydney, Australia, they have heard of the good work that you and all the rest are doing in building subs. You can tell them at the plant that I am very proud to say that once worked for the E. B. when someone asks me about the kind of work that goes into building the subs. So all you've got to do is put your eight hours day in and get them sent down the ways and everyone down here will look up to you, one and all, the silent heroes on the home front"

"" Pipe Shop
By Betty Houston

Who is the 1uckiest fellow in the Pipe Shop? Besides winning all rallies, he just won himself new son. -in-law. How about 1t, Peltier? Could it be John Crowley by any chance, or are you trying to keep it a secret so that we won't know your real age?
 A very enjoyable picnic was held Sunday June 4, by the mem- bers of Bill Tomhnson's crew. Also there were few invited guests. A chicken and lobster dinner was served with all the fixings. John Battles of the Victory Yard cafe- teria catered for the occasion. He was assisted by that well known character "Applejack" .BiIbeu. En- tertainment was furnished by Fingers Peltier and comedian "Al." Boxing matches were held and the feature match of the day was between Kid Douglas and Snuffy Kaiser. Snuffy sure got going over. A softball game was held between the men representing the Big" pipe and the Small" pipe gang. The game was won by the Big" pipe gang by a score of 18 to 8. The star of the. game was Joe Ferrari of the "SmalP' pipe gang, who moved cars and trees to catch fly balls. Score was kept by Mrs. Koozmitch and Mrs. Pel- tier whose husbands played on the winning team. How could they lose? Many thanks to Peltier, Heath, Macracken, Vallee, and Applejack who worked so hard to make our first picnic a suc- cess.

TRAVEL BY AIR IN
PRIVATE PLANES IS
VIEWED BY BALDWIN

J. Willard Baldwin, new proprie-
tor of the Laurel Trading company,
was the speaker Tuesday at the
luncheon meeting of the Rotary club
and gave some interesting informa-
ton on the operation, benefits and
pleasures of a%irplanes. He has
flown his own planes the past sew
eral years and forecasts extensive
private use of planes after the war.
The planes will be employed for
a variety of purposes, with CONNER
cial transport OF passengers, trans
port of freight, and pleasure flying
by individuals as the principal
classifications.
But planes are of little use unless
there are landing fields, many of
them. Baldwin said every commune
ty should be so supplied, that they
are not expensive to build or main
tain when not intended for army or
commercial use, and they will be
very important in intercommunity
life.
He interspersed factual informa-
ton with narratives from expert
ences. An interesting item was on
the cost of air travel in ones own
plane, which was disclosed as as
tonishingly low.
The speaker was presented by G.
L. Morris, former proprietor of the
business Baldwin bought.

Mont. A veteran of over 45 mis-

Lieutenant DeFrance already has
participated in most of the major
air battles for France, Belgium and
Holland.
Rejecting the t~ireless activity of
the Ninth air force he assisted in
the dive-bombing attacks against
enemy ~pillboxes and entrenched gun
positions at Cherbourg. He was in
the vanguard of the Allied airmen
at Fallaise, Wire, st. Lo and Val

along the Seine and Loire rivers
and in the breakthrough to Paris
he shot up tanks and enemy con-
voys. In the landings of parachut-
lists in Holland and Germany he
flew to the air transports.
He is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Sam DeFrance of Laurel and prior
to his entry into the service oper-
ated a service station called Genes
