contest.
A time schedule of contests and

lines will be set up to speed up service.
The main fare will be hot dogs, ham
burgers, baked beans, cole slaw,
potato salad, and all the trimmings.
Children will receive helium filled

FISH HAVE SHORT FEAST
The trout had a short feast on
the redworms John Brinkley (Con
trol Lab, A Shift) and his 14 year
old nephew, David, offered them in
mid-July. The feast was shortened
by 14 tugs on two lines to bring in
fish ranging up to 16 inches in length.
John and David spent from 7
to 11 AM on July 13th netting their
limit. John said he believed David
sighted his fish underwater...he fell
in 5 times. Incidently, David caught
the 16 incher.
Reflecting on his successful fish
ing trip John said, "It’s really nice that
we’ve got the facilities right here at
the plant to fish, camp, and go hiking
for outdoorsmen who love to do these
things.”
