Page Twelve BADIN BULLET expert assistants could take charge. Mr. Groat and his three assistants arrived about May 1, and work on the test was again started. The object, of the test is to accurately determine the combined ef ficiency of the turbine and generator, and also to see if the generator and turbine makers have designed and built their machines to meet their guaranties. In units of large size, this is very im portant. Assisting Mr. Groat are Messrs. Ely, Bromelmeier, Sivitz, and Mr. Rob erts, of the Allis-Chalmers Company. Farmer Scott—“When is a pig not a pig?” Interested Friend—“I don’t know.” Farmer Scott—“When he gets into somebody’s potato patch.” Interested Friend—“I don’t see the point.” Farmer Scott—“I didn’t either until I had to pay damages.” Interested Friend—“Come on; what’s the answer?” Farmer Scott—“He makes a blamed hog of himself.” The Hardaway Contracting Company has finished erecting the last span of the bridge from the Narrows Power- House to the railroad, on the opposite side of the river. It is hoped that the short trestle necessary at the end of the last span will soon be in place, and we can more easily get supplies into the power-house. Mr. Rhea says that he is getting so much water thru his transformer coils since he used the acid treatment that his pumps can hardly get the water back to the million-gallon tank. Hot weather is coming; our supply of spare motors keeps getting smaller, and the armature winders are wondering if they can keep it up. Some of the operators who were sta tioned at the Narrows Power-House, and lived at Mount Ararat, are moving to Yadkin Falls. The Hi-Pot test in the electric shop is about completed, at last; but please don’t try to use it as a cigar lighter. Mechanical Department News The Mechanical Heads have organized, and have meetings once a week for the purpose of getting together as closely as possible on all work pertaining to the shops, thus by close co-operation getting the best possible results. Our baseball team has been running behind in the percentage column, but expects to get in the advanced columns soon, having added some new men to their string. Constantly there are improvements be ing made, which increase thj production of the plant, and make it a more de sirable place to work. On or about June 1, we hope to have the four-roll crusher ready for opera tion, together with the new conveyor system. We are greatly decreasing the dust nuisance, with the new exhaust system to the Coke Cleaning Department. Mr. H. B. Thompson, time checker, has been transferred to another job, and Mr. C. H. Cowles succeeds him. Mr. Z. V. McAnulty, pipefitter fore man, claims to have the largest tomatoes in Badin. Photographs of the Mechanical forces have been received, and the work is very good. The construction of the New Coke Chipping Plant is progressing nicely. Mr. H. L. Allen reported a nice time on his trip to Massena, N. Y. Mr. Jesse Smith, after a week’s illness, is back on the job. Voluntary Hospital Association This new association is started with the idea of putting a first-class hospital at the disposal of every employee, at a cost that anyone can pay. A hospital is too often thought to be a place of extreme suffering, full of moans, groans, and gloom, and surround ed by an atmosphere of ether. This is a mistaken impression, because, altho there may be extreme suffering at times, that fact is not known to the other pa tients. Our hospital, with its every con venience, its clean, well-lighted rooms, good board, and efficient nurses, is a place of joy for a sick person, for they soon realize they are receiving the care necessary to a rapid return to good health. To a mother, it means a respite from the cares of the family which she would have to trouble her if at home. It means peace and quietness when sleep is most needed. If a child is seriously ill, it means that the mother is released from the added work which would be required if the child was sick at home. To a man, it means an inestimable relief to know his wife or child is in hands that will give them the best of care. Do not let July 1 pass without giv this matter serious thought. Home Why is a place more dear to one Than others? What is the charm That makes the blood to faster run. When memory has shown its vision cal Why is the place that we call homi Tho far away it be, and humble, to The light that guides us as we roam, Inspires, and fills the heart with h anew? Every man must have within his he A vision, something clear and true. To him his compass and his chart— To steer by all the journey thru. —Aiken Moori Visitor to Mrs. Kittrell Miss Mildred Whitehurst, of Norfo is a visitor at the home of her sist Mrs. J. L.
