He's First, there is "Whistle-beate- r the guy that's the clock watcher and makes a daily stampede to get at the time clocks the second after the bell rings. Then, there's "Grieving Gertie", and her many cohorts. Her ima ginary injustices are discussed with any one in the department who will listen. Not just once are these troubles "talked" over with her friends or her supervisor. After many recitals, too numerous to count, she finally takes the whole problem (and all others that have occurred in her troubled lifetime) to the Civilian Personnel Office. Her job? is just incidental when compared to the Oh yes, that production latest crisis in her life. And of course, there are others, such as "Sick Sally." She believed that she is entitled to take all the sick leave she earns as soon as she earns it. No point in letting a good thing like sick leave pile up, she reasons. She might not ever be sick and just look at what she would lose. Yes and look what the stockholders in this business of ours lose through such abuse of the sick leave privilege.

But for Leland Weeks, foreman of the aircraft camera unit at Hill AFB, it is a matter of tradition, and the possibility of winfancy the annual beard growing conning test at the Pioneers celebration this month. Weeks has grown an annual beard for a number of years. His first one was attempted several years ago when he served with the 46 Reconniassance Unit testing cameras in Alaska. According to army regulations, a beard is permitted if it is neatly trimmed. But, the definition of a neatly trimmed beard 'was at the discretion of the commanding officer. His definition was sorry to say a clean shave ! So the career of .Weeks' first beard was abruptly terminated. With a couple of inches of growth already decorating Weeks' chin he's g off to a 'good start as the champ. "There are several types of winners at the July 24th contest," Weeks said. "There's a winner for the longestthe reddest and even for the shaggiest.
