game between the Universal Rumble

rance, Calf, won by the former by
a score of Z to 5 emulating the win
garnered by their company team
at the Meyers Lake Park (Ohio)
picnic on June 17th.
While old friends renewed ac-
quaintances in the background the
kids started things off with the
proverbial bang as heads butted
heads in mad scramble for the
\ pennies which were strewn hither
, and yon like so much chicken feed.
Then there followed the usual
succession of outing style races
featured by the mems 100 yard
dash which was won by Roland
Hardy of Vernon Kilns, Inc, fol
lowed by Bob Widdup of Wallace
China Co. and Buck Rider of Holly
dale Pottery in truly blanket fin
ish.
The events of the day were top
ped off at five p. m. with the grand
prize drawing for the beautiful
Packard-Bell console television set
which was won by Bert Bridge
water of Vernon Kilns. And though
it seems that this was a Vernon
Kilns affair there were over a
thousand in attendance not the
least of which were Vice-President
Frank Hull and George Pace rep
resenting the N. B. of o. P. Mr.
Hull incidentally donated beauti-
full trophy for the soft ball game
which will be in the proud posses
sion of the Universal-Rundle lads
for one year after which it will be
again contested for until one team
has won it three years in succession
in order to obtain permanent pos
session.
Executives from all of the par
ticipating potters' plants were in
evidence throughout the vast shad-
ed areas of Streamland Park while
\ they intermingled with employees
, and enjoyed the days many events
We mention shaded areas pointedly
as the thermometer touched st
with nary a cloud in sight, per-
feet day for a perfect picnic.

turks in the fore and background
a number of men who must per-
force band together as unit in
order that all goes along smoothly
