backs. The only redeeming factor of
this blow was that nobody was burned
or injured. All the fellows in the shop;
those on the oiling crew, the painting

quickly, gave generous donations. Mac
tried to thank each one who contrib

missed some, because there were donà-
tions from the crews. He has asked me
to put words of thanks in the magazine,
as they would reach the people he has
missed. So, as, Mac Would say, "Thanks,
fellows, I appreciated it no end, .and
won’t forget for a long time.”
The oiling and patching crews, who
departed in April, from all reports, are
doing fine,; Three men left with the
crews—Roland Shaw and Melvin Wil
lis, oiling crew; Bert Johnson, patching
crew.
Thé other fellows might have looked
worse, but I doubt it. Joe Sellers and
Jim Mutchler showed up for work one
bright morning, both with beautiful
black eyes. Now a black eye is not just

season. Jim Mutchler was the first to
be questioned on the subject of- black
eyes and where do you get them. Jim
would make no statement. Next to be
questioned on the same subject was
Joe Sellers, Also no statement. So ill
that can be said on the subject is, fel

time;
Francis Hamilton, division office,
can now be called "auntie.” We think
she is right proud of the new name too.
This is all for now, except don’ri
