STOREROOM NEWS
By Jim Bradley
The second month of Winter is almost gone,
and who can complain. The weather has been just
fine—a little damp, perhaps.
The butter and egg business must have been
very good last year, since Louis Pickelsimer has
graduated into the cattle and hog business in a
big way this year. He has purchased a new pick
up truck to make deliveries, if he can remember
to take his emergency brake off.
Louis is not the only prosperous one around
here. J. A. Crisp has purchased a Dynaflo Buick,
which, Slim Owens informs us, has everything
except the sink. Mack Feaster is stepping out in
a new Dodge.
Here’s hoping that Dick Allen has more luck
at the next Bingo Party, especially if he has to
draw for the prize.
If there is anyone who wants to hear a good
musical program, contact Louis Pickelsimer. He
has just learned to sing "Mule Train.” Dewey
Edwards has just learned that Louis has been
spending his evenings in the barn, practicing
on this song.
STICK LIKE A STAMP
There was a little postage stamp
No bigger than your thumb,
But still it stuck right on the job
Until its work was done.
They licked it and they pounded it
’Til it would make you sick,
But the more it took a licking
Why, the tighter it would stick.
So friends, let’s be like the postage stamp
In playing life’s rough game.
And just keep on a sticking
Though we hide our heads in shame.
For the stamp stuck to the letter
Til it saw it safely through;
There’s no one could do better.
Let’s keep sticking and be true.

Many people shove and bluster through life,
following the theory of the man who believes he
doesn’t need driving manners if his truck is big
enough.
The real wealth in the world is created by
those who say, "What can I do to improve the
situation?” and not, "What can I do to profit by
it.”
The above cartoon is somewhat self-explanatory,
since we do know that a person’s vision has a
tendency to fade as they grow older.
The Visual Survey that is being conducted
throughout our plant at the present time, will be a
great help to our personnel in over-coming such
embarrassing incidents as that shown above. In
addition to bringing out the weakness of vision
for those who have never worn glasses, the Ortho-
Rater tests have proven to numerous employees
that their present glasses did need changing.
Lets not forget that we are dependent on our
vision in practically every walk of life, and that we
are due it to ourselves and those dpendent upon
us, to have our eyes checked at regular intervals.
NOTICE TO GARDENERS
All requests for employees gardens must be in
by March 1st. Contact Bob Bolt, or leave your
request at the Personnel Department.
Isn’t it strange that princes and kings
And clowns that caper in sawdust rings,
And common folks like you and me
Are builders for eternity?
To each is given a bag of tools,
A shapeless mass and a book of rules;
And each must make, ’ere life has flown,
A stumbling block or a stepping stone.
If you want to see how important you really
are in the world, just stick your finger in a bucket
of water and then look at the big hole it leaves
when you pull it out.
