Our Leadingman, Carl Dunafon, is with the Wage Survey group. In his absence our Snapper, Tommy Thompson, is pinch-hitting for him.

Test and Inspection
By Emlyn Jones

We were all very sorry to hear about Bill Ever's accident during the fore part of the hunting season and sincerely hope that he'll be back soon.

Floyd Standly comes to work all dressed up. We here are stumped as to Why?

Henry Dietrich has registered. Reports are he really shot a pheasant.

At last Test House has completed posting their new records. This is a record indeed-all the way through and no changes.

Just because our laboratory man is a chemist doesn't give him the right to visit the laundry, so we say. However, he informed us it was an official visit and not just to see the women employed there. Okay this time Ed but tell us next time, we may go along.

Did you hear about the mouse that cried all night because he found out his father was a rat?
