ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY. And I'd like you to meet them. There’s Janie Colwell. Everybody loves her; old, young, middle-aged, men, women, kids. She’s a tiny mite of T. N. T. with eyes that just can’t behave and an infectious laugh. There’s never a dull moment with our Janie on deck. Bill Nelson’s the snappy snapper with all the good looks, plus efficiency, and that’s something. (He adores bubble baths, gang, just in case you ever want to buy him a gift.) His lovely wife, Ann, could put Scarlet O’Hara in the shade. Her cheery greetings each day in her southern drawl has endeared her to usall. Our boyish sailor lad, Davidson, entered the race for a Clearfield Cutie but withdrew in favor of our bus girl, Thompson Colored Peoples’ On Follow Up their backs.

That blond man in our midst, Mr. Hart, is why ladies prefer blondes. But his heart is ‘‘allout’’ for his daughter. We're all happy to welcome Storekeeper Vic Allegrette back on the bus with us. Vic’s been laid up with a broken leg. Did I hear you ask who the tall sailor was that alwaysis last on the bus at night? That’s Bob Smick. He pays weekly for a stand-up seat only. Some night I’m going to be the lady in the crowd and offer him my seat. Speaking of southern belles — we've Sarah Roberts—|Wootsie to us) — and has she got a follies shape.

We’ve a Rip Van Winkle in our midst — that is, he sleeps standing up or sitting down or in any manner of ways — just so he gets his hundred winks each morning on the bus. His name is Sailor ‘“‘Chevy.’’ But when and if he does come tolife, things hum. He’s usually accompanied in his mischief by Seaman Don Kildahl. While I’m on the subject of sailors I might as well tell you about Big Joe and Little Joe — not crap-shooters either. Big Joe Bryce is one of those silent hemen, while Little Joe H. Park, with his ever-ready smile, happygo-lucky ways and hail-fellowwell-met policy has endeared himself to all of us. If Kreml Shampoo Co. wants a walking advertisement of beautiful hair they should contact Margaret Sanchez. She’s got some real reddish crowning glory and I don’t mean perhaps.

For us it was an important step, but we did apply and were hired. Now we understand what the U. S. navy stands for. We are happy in our work and our aim is to give satisfaction to our head man and make our snapper proud of us and our work. When we show our badges and enter the gate each morning we realize over again that we are cogs in the great war machine and that we must all work together to win victory. —Pearlie B.
