But anything served up later will be an anti-climax to the greatest Pioneer days parade in Ogden’s history. Special thanks are extended by the Public Relations Office to the many cooperative people a on the depot who have volun_» teered their services to making the Navy’s section an outstanding one. Nears Goal The program began with horseshoe contests which were followed bya spirited softball game with storekeepers, officers, women, and children playing on both teams. Joe Thurgood used his right eye as a catchers’ mitt. The wildest gamblers lost a quarter on the ‘‘old grudge’’ race between Mr. Moody of G-11 and Ivie Smith of G-13. Frank A. Grady of D-4 thumped the piano tusks while Lt. Heath, U. S. M. C., and assistants spiritedly sang all the songs they knew. A tug of war (storekeepers vs. officers) ended with fun and officers and storekeepers on both ends of the rope. The cowhands, Spargar and Redwine, had a roping contest and the cowboy successfully roped the calf. Mrs. Paul Smith gave an exhibition of plain and fancy dancing. Mrs. Frank Latham, Mrs. Ray Ogden, and Mrs. Dean Buchanan won the three gate prizes. The goal of the Clearfield Naval Supply Depot’s war bond drive is ninety per cent or more of the civilian employes investing at least ten per cent of their gross pay in war bonds. The War Bond Office reports W/O M. M. Okerstrom that the following depot departments have gone over the top one hundred per cent: Firefighters, Disbursing, Inspection, Public Works Office, Security Office and the War Bond Office. Personnel of the Accounting Department averaged ninety-five per cent and the Incoming Stores group averaged ninety-three per cent participation. Warrant Officer M. M.
