Works Office Notes

Eastern novelties, such as derby hats,
new dance steps, and jaz2 tunes, since
his return from Pittsburgh.

the office .some days ago. It is rumored

The item of greatest interest, to the
plant maintenance men at least, is that
we will soon have our new repair shop
completed to the point where we can be
gin to move in. The progress on this
building extension has been rather dis
couraging to those who had made plans
about moving in last spring. We hope
that the thoughts of working without the
possibility of water from a leaky roof
dropping down one’s neck, or stepping in
a water puddle and getting a wet foot,
will more than offset the inconveniences
and losses of good nature during the
past summer.
The following men have returned from
the service: Mr. R. F. Giersch, from
Officers’ Training Camp, at Alexandria,
Va.; Mr. McNeely DuBose, from Offi
cers’ Training Camp, at Shelby, Miss.;
Mr. J. A. Fagg, from Camp McClellan,
Ala.; Mr. Amos Blanchard, from Camp
Jackson, S. C.; Mr. E. H. Belk, from
Camp Wadsworth, S. C.; Mr. Z. B.
Robinson, from Camp Meade, Md.;
Mr. L. B. Ward, from detached service
in a shell loading Plant in New Jersey.
We are very glad to have them all with
us again.
A night school for those interested in
electrical work will be started as soon as
arrangements can be made. The sub
jects will be given in a series of lec
tures covering as far as possible the
fundamental principles governing the
operation and performance of the dif
ferent kinds of electrical machinery and
apparatus. There will be no charge, tho
it is recommended that a few books, as
will be suggested later, be purchased.
Mr. Seabrooke, of the General Electric
Company, is with us again, to look after
