Our photographer gave George Karmine, of American Identification Bureau, a dose of his own medicine as he snapped the process by which each employee was “mugged” during the week of February 3rd to February 10th. If this were a sound picture, we know from experience that we would be able to hear the familiar chant “look along the stick until you can see both eyes in the little mirror.” The badges are designed to provide positive identification of all em ployees passing through the company gate. They will be worn at all times while on duty within the company grounds. LETTERS HOME: Solomons, Md. Feb. 12, 1943 Dear Mr. Wells: I suppose by now you think I have forgotten how to write. Since you heard from me last I have been in a dozen different places but just haven’t had time to write until now. I don’t know how long I will be here. I’ve been here two weeks and don’t expect to stay over a month longer at the most. I received a letter from home today saying that two of my sister- in-laws are at the plant working. I know they will like it very much. I enjoyed every minute while I was at wprk there and hope to return some day. I would like to have the Echo if possible. I will write again soon. Much to my sorrow I have to go on guard duty. Yours truly, TROY DRAKE Ijl^^acher: “No, Bobby, you stay here \ Feb. 2, 1943 Dear Mr. Wells: I received your letters of Dec. 22 and Jan. 13 several days ago and will try to answer them at this time. It certainly takes quite awhile to re ceive mail from the states but when it gets here it is certainly welcomed. The issues of the Echo are quite some time reaching me but I have received every issue but the January issue. I am looking forward to it most any day now. I am going to take a course in book-keeping so that I can procure a better position in civilian life. I hope that I may be able to get such posi tion with you when I get back. I have been in the best of health since my last letter to you and am enjoying this life just fine. I must close for now. Hoping to receive every issue of the Echo while I am in service. Tell all my friends “hello” for me and that I hope to see them in the near future. Sincerely yours, JAMES GEVEDON Endless Beltings With Hazel Boyd, Addie B. Rhodes and Jewel Rackley in the hospital all at the same time we wonder if it would be O. K. with Mr. Goepfert if we just move the whole Loom Room up there. All kidding aside we do miss all of you girls and are look ing anxiously forward to having you all back in the fold again .... We never did see so many of the girls going about with the sniffles. Don’t know whether it’s just colds or be cause the boy friends have gone to the army. At any rate we suspect the latter. Keep smiling girls and think only of the time when they will be coming back .... Thanks be to someone who thought of cut ting in that extra door in the girls locker room. Certainly will relieve that ‘bargain basement’ rush at quit ting time. Those two ‘Andrew Sijters’ in the amen corner outside the office could use a few lessons in harmony. How about joining the Choral Club, you two? .... We’ve had a letter from Lois Burch Cathey and a card from Faye Plemmons this week. Both are doing fine and wish to be remember ed to you all ... . May we take the liberty of extending a warm welcom ing hand to all the new girls that ar rived during the last month? We hope that you find us to your liking and stay with us for a long time. CAFETERIA CLATTER (Continued From Page 3) working with so we wouldn’t mind one bit if the whole family decided to come to work .... We are all proud of the way Roberta worked in the recent “Polio” drive and put our county' over the top. She is certainly interested in the CPT and is very busy at present knitting sweaters .... We are glad to have Doris back. We missed both her and Roy .... Ethel has been talking about her Victory Garden for some time but we don’t know whether she or Mrs. Cox was first in getting theirs turned .... Mr. Hart believes there is no place like the farm and has recently moved there from town .... The health of the entire gang has been very good this win ter, thanks to Dr. Marshall who has watched over us so faithfully .... Taylor of the Canteen is the one who is walking on air now, the reason— a brand new baby girl, Miss Janice Maybelle. Congratulations, Taylor! . . . . Mac’s pet pig and room full of chickens is our latest topic. We hope “piggy” does well, Mac, but here’s a little advice. Don’t get so fond of him that butchering time will break your heart .... By the time this goes to press we will have lost at least six of our boys to the Army. We wish each of them the best of luck and hope the war is over before any of them has to fight. TIMELY HINTS (Continued From Page 4) long run. A good tea goes twice as far and provides a stimulating drink. A Shallow cup is the forerunner of quickly chilled tea. A deep and reasonably straight-sided cup, on the other hand, suggests a hot, inviting beverage. Riches in the future are indicated when your cup contains a clear, fragrant infusion of tea, since this means that you are an intelligent buyer, with an eye to quality. The wise shopper saves much money. An Offer of marriage is likely in the near future if you serve your male acquaintances with tea in a sensibly sized cup and place it on a firm table. If the tea be really hot and strong, the offer is definitely nearer. There’s a letter in the post accept ing your invitation by return if your tea is always made in a heated pot and poured off the leaves into a second pot, also heated, after three minutes (not a second more!). You’ll be known as the perfect hostess. A long journey is ahead of you if you want to find a better cup of tea than your own, if you take these hints to heart.—Housewife.
