It looks as if S. Paul Jones is relieved
of frequent trips over the "Big hump”
since copies of the "Engineer’s Bible”
have been showing up in offices of

this ready reference book shows real
ingenuity and industry on the part of
those responsible for its preparation.
Marguerite Elder, Secretary for the
Bend Chapter was forced to take a week
away from her duties at the Bend Di­
vision office last week due to a serious
