to Myrtle Helm, who celebrated
her birthday Monday. Since Fiji,
her dachshund baby, can't sing
yet, Bunny Conyne rendered a
song in her inimitable way in
honor of the occasion. Thank you
for the delicious candy, Myrtle.
We were sorry, last week, to
lose lovely Eleanor Zolciak to
the night shift but happy to have
another lovely miss in her place.
Welcome back to the day shift,
Melanie Hitting.
Thanksgiving is over but the
aroma fingers on and we are get
ting all kinds of Turkey Day
reports. It seems that Jimmy
Matuszynski bought few
chances o ma turkey rattle. He
won, too, the lucky man. 1t only
cost him fifteen dollars and fifty
cents. We hear he is saving the
bones for turkey soup for Christ
mas. 1t was for a good cause
anyway and all church donations
are a fine thing.
Jimmy (Crooner) Eff1er says
his idea of a real holiday dinner
is a fish fry. He had the tradi-
tional turkey and trimmings but
says he would have preferred
salmon! We bet it was just be-
cause he enjoyed it so much and
he ate more than usual.
For three days Celia Ryan
was hunting in the wilderness for
pheasans. She came home to find
some on her threshold, knocking
at her door-or were they pleas
ants knocking? P. S. She ate tur-
key for Thanksgiving so we guess
maybe she didn't have the heart
to shoot her'"guests."
This weeks gold star award
goes to the Multigraph girls.
They keep their corner of the
department immaculate.
All of our shut-ins are getting
along fine from our latest re-
ports. Your regular Journalist,
English" Borglin, will be home
very soon and is feeling swell.
Mabel Fischer expects to be back
to work in a few days. One of
our very old friends, Bea Balacz,
repair department, will be glad
to kno wall of her pals miss her
and are happy to know she is
getting along so well. Ruth Sur
dasky, who has been home and i'll
since serious accident last July,
will soon be welcomed back to
work. We will all be awfully
glad to see her when she does
return.
Delphine and Walter Geremski
and Anna Kuiawa took one of
those "slow" trains to the Ohio
Michigan game. 1t took them
over two hours to get to Ann
Arbor, but they met some other
Champion people on the train
and had a wonderful time.
Did any of you ever tell Don
Kicker Ray Conrow and Bill
Eckhart, our department D time
clerks, what swell fellows they
are? They really do show a lot
of consideration and friendliness
to all of us. A pat on the back
and a cup of coffee for each of
them.
Our latest blood donors, whom
we are proud to mention are:
Whitley Underdown, Bill Karo-
NAL, Eugene Lewandowski and
Floyd Wachowiak. Let's be sure
to remember their generosity
and willingness to be of help to
their fellow-workers.
- .Sr;s. The generosity Of
- u .,. ~ the kers in
Jim ~ Depts. A and AA,
of both shifts, is deserving of
higest praise. These men raised
a substantial sum of money to
aid fellow employees, three, / be-
lieve, who had encountered mis-
fortune. If there is anything in
this world that elicits genuine
admiration and commendation, it
is the solicitude of the more for
tunate for their less fortunate
brothers.
That this spirit prevails among
Champion workers has been pre-
demonstrated and has
been repeated in the above in
stance. Our hearts do homage to
you, gentlemen.
Thanksgiving Day came and
vent leaving the TURKEY popula-
ton greatly depleted and nu-
nerous cases of indigestion
among their human brethern.
All but few, to whom / have
enjoyed the day, it's
ieasting and family fellowship
and believe me, this is a bless
ng indeed for which to be thank
ful. How different from the orig
nal Thanksgiving Day of that
little colony of pilgrims! No
savages prowling around our
dwellings looking for pale-face
'calps, no shivering on one side
while warming the other, no
'carsity of those food items now
ieemed so necessary, yet, are we
'eally more happy or even as
as they? This. I doubt.
rhankless hearts can know little
# true happiness regardless of
he plenty thew NAV possesses.
