FLY PAPER FEBRUARY 1943 PAGE 6

[column 1]

There has been placed at the bulletin
boards in the hangar and machine shop
a small box marked "FLY PAPER" with a
ballot-box type slot in the top. Now -
you don't advertise in Fly Paper - nor
do you pay a subscription fee (not that
we blame you) so - support it by drop-
ping the news in the Fly Paper boxes;
signed or unsigned. Come on now, don't
shirk.

SAFETY

We have had quite a number of minor
injuries reported this past month.
Fortunately, the majority of them did
not result in the loss of working days.
Nevertheless the reports show that in
almost all the cases, "just plain
carelessness" was responsible. This
cause must be eliminated. A broken
step ladder, a broken chain hoist, etc.
these causes of accidents can be caught
and corrected by the Safety Committee.
But - CARELESSNESS - that is a condition
you workers will have to correct your-
selves because we of the Safety Comm-
ittee do not know what is on your mind
(correction: we do know and advise
that you get THEM off your mind and
think more of work) so - THINK,
LOOK FIRST, and ACT WITH SAFETY.

C. K. Rodgers
Chief Safety Engineer

George Villano and Frank Sciarillo
(the Gold Dust Twins) were really
hungry the other night. They visited
the Ottaray Hotel Dining Room and each
had a DOUBLE FULL COURSE DINNER from
soup to nuts, in fact the nuts ate
from 6:45 P.M. to 9:15 P.M. as actually
timed by an eye witness. The report is
that they had a waitress "Ga-Ga" over
them with that Spanish accent they put
on so well. When they left, the poor
girl was telling her friends she had
just served two distinguished South
American diplomats. To top off a per-
fect evening when they got outside, some
H.S. kids were getting the autographs
of Jerry Wald and his Orchestra mem-

ANNUAL LEAVE

I asked to get a week of leave
They flatly told me "NO"
Even though my mother-in-law is sick
I find I cannot go

"Oh! When, my dear department head,"
I asked, tugging his sleeve
"may I, a loyal worker, have
Just one short week of leave?"

"When all red mud around the base
Is all dried up", he said
"And Hitler, that dash, dash, dash
Is like he should be -- Dead.

When Charlie Irey lathers up
And shaves his upper lip
And R. L. Krauter goes a week
With nothing on the hip.

When Dressler, up in Radio
Stops cussin' high and wide
And those who're on the Victory Shift
Declare they're satisifed.

When Capri throws his clubs away
and gold goes out of style
And R.E. Bloom walks round the place
His face a beaming smile.

When Wayland Downing's really broke
And hasn't got a dime
You may then, if the war is won,
Have two days at a time.

And then he looked me in the eye
And said, "No-Sir-Ree-Bob!
A war has never yet been won
By folks who're off the job."

Miss Caine of the Guard Office wants
the Radio Dept. to rig her alarm clock
up directly to the Arlington Time
Signal, then she can depend on it
going off on time.

SELLERS: (Showing Dias the new heir)

DIAS: "Yeah - an wet as a sea-plane."
