How speedily the Christmas
spirit leaves the human breastl
The following women were un-
able to start their car in the lot,
Thursday night. Ruthie Sud-
dasky, Margaret Mallak, Marie
Miller and Ada Quaintance. Do
you think one driver would help
them? They laughed and left
the girls push their car into the
street and got lift by a
stranger. Fellow, I'm ashamed
of you.
Fred Reineke and wife mo-
toroed to Atlanta, Georgia to
spend the Christmas holidays
with Mrs. Rineke's parents.
They returned safely and the
Miscellaneous team is glad to
have Fred to help out against
tough opposition this week.

Someone stopped your re-
porter Tuesday night and said:
whats the matter, Smity, you
look like you came through a
knot-hole, too much Christmas
spirit?" The answer was no, I
don't indulge (much). But,
truthfully, it was because I tried
being Santa Claus at home. /
got the bright idea of giving
Dwight, "the killer" (6 years
old) and Eddy, "the mauler" (5
years old) a real set of boxing
gloves for Christmas. Thus after
3 days and 3 nights of the wrong
kind of instructions in boxing,
l became the remnant / was on
Tuesday. The killer" and the
"mauler" are, of course, my
two young sons.
Browsing around the depart
ment a short while / asked quite
few people if they had good
Christmas and most of those
said they did and believe me we
are glad they did. For those
who possibly did not, we wish
them all the good luck 1t is pos
Sible to wish anyone.
I was asked by the Buddies'
employees to thank the men,
bers of Champion Unit for their
fine cooperation in letting them
close the Canteens a little early
so that they could celebrate
their little Christmas party. So
thanks from the Buddies en-
ployees.
By-the-way, Eddie Mielczarek
Is looking for baby sitter. Any

Here is the joke of the week,
sure and be glory, tbs. We have
news that on days they have a
guy by the name of Louie
Pfann, who has a bright idea,
but for some reason or other it
hasn't worked. We hear that he
sets the alarm clock every night
to ring so he may know what
time Esther (his wife) gets
home but then after he arises
to greet her and he gets back
into bed, he forgets to reset the
alarm to get up in the morning
How embarrassing it must be to
have somebody knock on the
door each morning to get you
up for work. How about a diff
ferent arrangement? Maybe a
phone call each night will solve
your problem, leave the alarm
alone. How about it, Esther,
could this be arranged?
Dept. III, 1st Shift
Millwrights
The boys of this department
thought Santa Claus would
bring them an electric truck for
Christmas but l guess Santa for
got, Now they will continue to
move the machinery the hard
way. (Cheer up, fellas, that's
the way the pyramids were
built. According to the Cham
pion Company as far as their
workers are concerned, what
was good enough for the cave
man is good enough for them.
But they expect workers all
over the world to use modern
equipment such as: Spark Plugs.
