TURKEY SHOOT AT
CAMP STRAUS
Les Bryson aims at the target. His shot was best
in the second round until the last man beat him
by a fraction of an inch.
Members of Refining "C” shift held a turkey
shoot at Camp Straus on Thanksgiving Eve. Two
large, dressed turkeys were the prizes for the best
shots.
They had planned to hold the shoot as they
left their job at 8:00 A. M., but it was too cold
and most of them were so sleepy that they post
poned it until 1:00 P. M. Some of the members
who went home to sleep didn’t wake in time so
the other drew names to shoot for the "Rip Van
Winkles,”
The targets were small, and were placed 100
yards away. A strong cross wind and the chilly
weather made the shooting difficult. But, even
with those handicaps, the boys proved to be expert
marksmen.
Joe Mcjunkin won the first turkey, with an al
most perfect shot. Clarence Crow won the second
one, with Jack Brown shooting for him.
Judges were F. L. "Buck” McCall, H. E. New
bury, and Alex Kizer.
