CHAPTER NEWS
tenant in the Navy Seabees has been
selected as pin-up man by the WAVES
at his station. We did not know that
the WAVES had started a home for
aged lady sailors.
W. C. (Dutch) Williams, former
Division Engineer at La Grande, (we
ignore the Portland Division’s claim to
Dutch as not being worth investigat
ing) is stationed at the Granite City
Engineer Depot, located on the shores
of the Missouri river. We bet that
Dutch has already made post war plans
to stop the floods.
Walt Greene, the Oiling Crew Fore
man, spread 18,000 gallons of oil on
the road in one day. Seems to us that is
a record. We wonder how he covered
it all with rock. Perhaps he had the
help of one of our special Eastern Ore
gon dust storms.
Chuck Hedrick, the Paving Fore
man, says that if the shop installs many
more gadgets on his outfit he is going
to ask for a shop crew to come out and
run it. All of Chuck’s crew are mem
bers of the Association, which we th in k
is something to brag about.

NEWPORT CHAPTER No. 11
Gus Read, President of Chapter 11,
Newport, has resigned.
Waldport Section has a new fore
man, John Wells of Alsea. We figure
in the driftwood flats that he will like
it here amid the fog and moss because
he is fond of fishing and digging
clams.
The first edition of The Oregon
State Employee was gratefully received
by our members over here. We believe
the publication will go a long way in
promoting fellowship as well as mem
bership. Heretofore we had no news
as to what was going on in other Chap
ters and thus remained in our native
“fog”. General news from all over
Oregon, we believe, will arouse greater
interest.
We meet on the third Thursday of
each month and welcome any other
members to Newport on these occas
ions to help us in our future clam
bakes.
