Miss Electric Boat MeetsMissAmerica

Here at the Electric Boat Com pany during the current Fourth War Loan drive, along with work CTS who were thrilled, inspired and proud of action-packed stories as related by Americas heroes at war, the Subs" choice for Miss Elec- tric Boat (Joan ConnelD met with Miss America and Charles Bick- ford, the famous movie actor.
 On that day E. R. employees sub- scribed to $5OO0 in cash sales of war bonds, thereby showing theIr determination to see this war to a nasty, but victorious conclusion. Many employees, in an effort to do whatever they can in furthering the progress of war, have already made plans to put their increased earnings in war bonds. Increased earnings derived from 10% monthly bonus paid when em- ployees achieve 15@o increased pro- duction. Feeling as they do about the war, the increased production will come easy. The more produc- tion, the more war bonds, the more "slaps at the Japs,' hence, Ameri- ca comes home from war.

 It seems that the route Matt took that fateful day across the boat was constructed along the way the test gang went and of course was paved with Danger No Fires" signs that the stage builders took fit to use instead of hauling up few blanks. (You know they are SOOoo heavy to lug arOundO
