MECHANICAL DEPARTMENT SPRINGFIELD, MO. HAZEL CLARK. Reporter Although Rosemary Ann daughter of Nr. and Mrs. LeRoy ~ys'art,1s less than a year old she has already won a prize in a beauty contest. This was a nation-wide contest in which thousands of babies were entered and Rosemary Ann's prize was a blue rib- bon and a beautifully framed photo- graph of herself. Mr. and Mrs. Dysart are to be congratulated on having such a charming llttle daughter. On October 26th t1his department held a celebration in the form of a sump- tuous spread In honor of the birthdays of J. E. Potta and J. W. Seabough, and the twenty-fifth wedding anniversary of J. H. Sadler. All attending had the privilege of offering the three honorees a bit of advice along with their con- pratulatlons and the advice given was enjoyed alm'ost as much as the food. Although Mrs. Badler was not present she did much to make the party a suc: cess by sendlng a delicious home-made angel food cake. As a further blrthday celebration, Mr. Seabough and Mr. Potts attended the Army-Illinois football game at Champaign on November 3; and al- though Mr. Potts had a good hat ruined by the rain and "Doc" got his toes stepped on in the rush, both re- ported an enjoyable time. Our new lounge cars the "Tulsa" and the "Oklahoma it;.", continue to receive much favorable publicity. A recent issue of The DuPont Magazine carried a Pull page article, with ghoto- graphs, giving descriptions. We are glad to have both J. W. Quthrie and J. C.
