NORTH SPRINGFIELD SHOPS .- WM. F. KRAFFT, Reporter

On Friday, October 8, a noon-day accident prevention meeting was held in the erectlng department of north shops. The meeting was attended by approximately s ix hundred men from the roundhouse. car department, store department and back shop. Accident prevention agent, Ha r ry Harrison. made a short interesting address and a demonstration of the Prone Pres- sure method of Resuscitation was giv- en by Mr. Ryan safe ty supervisor, west shop. Mr. karvey, Mr. Ray and all the divlsion storekeeoers were in attendance. Enter ta inmint was fur- nished bv t& "Back Shop Triov'-Paul Carver. ~ e a n Peck and Leonard White. who rendered a s ~ l e n d i d vocal selec- tion, and Paul cirver s ang a safety first song a s a solo. All were of the oplnlon tha t the meeting was a huge success.

Several of the boys now know the name and lacatloh of t he best base- ball club In the world but th is knowl- edge cost them. hi: "club" seems to have dealt a severe blow In the vl- cinity of the pocketbook, however, only those were s t ruck tha t used poor judgment.

There was l ikewise a n y number of those t h a t misplaced a l i t t le bet or two on the recent heavyweight bout. Wlll they ever qui t moanlng?

While on his way south f o r the wlnter, t he s tork vislted the home of Leonard Baker and wife, October 1, and left a nlne-pound fu ture rnachtnlst.

Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Whitt lesev a r e the proud parents of a n elght-pound daughter. Norma Dell, born October 1.

Since the new s tack has been com- pleted a t north powet plant and the orize nnh t and world series have be- home history. there has been - i l t t le o r no excitement a t north shop. How- ever. there was an epidemlc of stiff necks whlle tha s tack work was in progress, and Sherman Ellis, shop electrician, still goes around with his head tilted back from force of hablt.

I t I s regretted by every- one tha t he was unable to t ake pa r t in the g rea t reception given him, a s he had the painful duties of a t tending his mother's las t rites.
