Once again another month rolls ’round for listening ears and seeking eyes to gather those ever present but illusive bits of “info.” Is it possible for one to supply these things when of late it is so hard to find out any thing at all? My! my! This is one place that doesn’t let its right arm know what the left is doing ... In cidentally, in our lab we have a Hill but no mountain; a Nanney but no goat; A Wolfe but not Little Red Rid ing Hood; Wilkie but not Roosevelt; Wells but no holes; two Heads but no arms; Love but no hate; Houston but not Sam; Talley but no score; Alex ander but not The Great; An Ashe but no pine; a Hall but no house; and a Fullbright but no halfbrights! . . . .

Watch that humidity! . . . R. Wolfe is going about bowling in the right spirit. Girls, please let’s all come out for practice. You know—“if at first you don’t suc ceed, try, try, again” . . . The squir rel season has really given the boys sompin’ to think about besides felt and dandy picks. Next comes deer season. Hope they have better luck this time. However, Randall is doubt ful. For some reason he doesn’t have much spare time. It is because he didn’t have much luck with the squir rels? . . . This month none of our boys left for the service; neither have we seen any of those who have gone but to those who’re in—rem ember, we’re all back of you and we’re proud to say that we’re in the 10% Club for Victory. We’ll do our best to “Keep ’em flying, rolling, and sailing.” Let’s not forget to buy our share of freedom today. Office Bits What’s been going on this month? Plenty. We have three new members added to our staff: Muriel Filkins, Virginia Johnson, and Alan Brom- bacher. We hope you like it here as well as we do . . .
