Most everybody knows of instances like this. Mel Dresser was fishing "all by his lonesome" above Bog Dam on the Am- monoosuc once on a time.

The bear saw the bushes move and kept a steady watch on the clump. Mel re- ma'med perfectly still seemingly a long time, until he thought it time to do some- thing. He began to reach slowly for the big revolver in his hip pocket. The bear saw the movement and away she went cubs and all at breakneck speed.

P. nine. Batteries were : Sulphite Mill, D. Morrisette and L. King; I. P., F. Steady and Dancourt. The score was 8 to 4 in favor of Sulphite Mill. Credit should be given to Morrisette for his good work, and it might be well to mention that he received good support. The game was the fourth one pitched by Morrisette in one week. Nevertheless he certainly brought home the pork chops.

Several employees from the electrical plant, the standards and the employment departments joined the Main Office folks. Everyone had a dandy time getting ac- quainted. The committee in charge of this affair deserves the very highest word of praise for the efficient, and attractive manner, in which every detail was handled. A new committee has been appointed for the next social event, which will be held in the near future and right now the crowd is waiting for the word to "Go."
