March of Dimes
 Electric Boat Go.

Starting on Monday, January P the Electric Boat Company annual March of Dimes campaign swings into full force and continues through Saturday, January 27, ac- cording to plans announced by P. c. Woodruff, who is chairrnan of the 1945 drive.
 March of Dimes National Head quarters in New York stated over the weekend that this country was struck last year by the worst out breaks of infantile paralysis since 1916. Consequently, the nationwide quotas have been set 15%o higher this year over last years figures. This is a definite challenge to us here at the Electric Boat Com- pany for with less employees we have to raise more money.
 An enthusiastic meeting was held this week, which was attended by Pete O'Malley, president of S.M.E.U. and Bernie EZhaya, business agent, when the best ways of putting across this years drive were dis cuSsed. Everyone came out with the optimistic feeling that the pep and pride Electric Boat employees have always shown in such worthy cau- ses would send this drive over the top with a bang. Active support has been promised by the Pattern Makers League of North America, MT. A. Anderson, steward, and Ma rine Craftsmen Association, Port of N. L., Frank s. Galligan, steward.
 Organization set-upS for depart mental collections have already been worked out and the afore- mentioned stewards or representa- tiveS have been selected Coin boxes will be prominently placed with the department clerk in each department. And arrangements have been made to have all department stewards assist in the collection. Speakers have been arranged to appear over the EBC broadcasting system to urge all to make a bigger contribution this year than ever. By backing up the effort on this most humanitarian of causes we will go over the top with flying colors.

 A customer walked into a store and ordered a package of Lucky Strike cigarettes. After receiving the Luckies, he saw some Ches- terfields on the shelf, so he asked the clerk if he would exchange the Luckies for a package of Ches- terfelds. The clerk obliging1y did and the customer started out, but the clerk stopped him and asked, Aren't you going to pay for those CheSterfelds?" The customer re- piled, T gave you the Luckies for the Chesterfields." Right" said the clerk" but you didn't pay for the Luckies."
