Employees Association Notes

Through the good ole grapevine system (Mr. Bells competitor) we are forever hearing Nobody ever tells me =. .'', so we thought it a good idea to add each week to CIVVY SIDELIGHTS what goes on through your Employees As sociation and why you should feel it of value to be a member and urge others to join. So here goes
 DID YOU KNOW? 2?
 THAT there was a Board of Di- rectors' meeting last Monday, and much business was accomplished.
 THAT Anne Giacopassi was elected the new Secretary.
 THAT Woody" Leel Quarter mastery is now Assistant Chair man of Athletics. An enthusiastic bowler himself, he is out for action on this bowling business. If you're interested, call him at Ext. 265 and no more of this, "I Don't Know Who to Contact" stuff.
 THAT Wilber Lewis, Ext. 422, is the guy to call if it's basketball you crave. (And, incidently, all these sports can only be success if you remembeS this slogan CALL UP and SHOW UP).
 THAT six letters acknowledging flowers or remembrances have been received by the Secretary and are on file. Your Association sends them for serious or extended ill., ness and in the case of the death of a close member of your family. It's up to the operating offices to notify the Employee Relations Off, flee, Ext. 351, as it's the only way we can be sure of knowing.
 THAT Grievance Committee has been organized comprised of these Directors of the Association: Howard Rockwell (Fire Depart ment) James Law, Aircraft Main tenance), Roy Peterson (Signal Maintenance), Gordon Harrington (Supply) and Woodruff Leel Guar termaster). Go to them with any questions, gripes, or grievances and help stop those "undercur- rents" that have tendency to grow if not cleared up and strengthened out. This is YOUR Association and it can play a tre- mendously vital part in your job at Bradley Field if you'll let it.

 Shorty" stands exactly four -feet-ten-and one-half inches high, which has not only re- suited in her nickname but also the title of being one of the shortest Wacs in the ser- vice. Short or not, however, the fellows at the 3rd Eschelon Garage will tell you that she can do man-sized job. Married to a former GI, Flo has son, Billy, four years old. Among other things, she was employed for many years before entering the WAC as an inspector for an Electric Company; won beauty contest at the age of nineteen while attending party at Boston's Steel Pier, and she states emphatically that she will stick to rigid diet during l945 with all sweets taboo. FIo's hobbies are bowling, roller skating and just plain relaxing.

With the New Year come changes (not that we have to wait for a New Year to bring them about in a place like Bradley Field) but we note special changes like the Civ ilian Guards taking over the Gates. This is a tremendous responsibility and they should feel as proud as we are that this important job was given to them.
 Two weddings to report: Bernice Henry of Production Control Sec ton, Aircraft Maintenance, was wed to Cpl. Bruce Smelser of PLM.

CPL. WILLIAM DOOOl%A The big difference between the job Bill did in civilian life and the military occupation he pursues at the commissary is hidden be- meath a white apron-before he entered the service he didn't wear uniform. In pre- war days Bill was employed by the A stores so it was natural that he would be assigned to the Armys own general store, where he acts as a clerk and also butcher. After the war he hopes to return to his former job with the A & P at their store in his home town of Gainesville, Ohio. In his school days Bill liked to play basketball and wrestle but he now confines his athletics to amateur photography Married, he and his wife reside in Suffield, where, just as you and l who have wives in the neiehborhood, he sweats out red and blue tokens.
