Gather 'round everybody, 'cause here comes this month's edition of "Gossip, Inc.," or "what's news about who." Honestly, time goes so fast lately I just can't keep track of mytself, let alone anyone else, so if the following effort seem feeble, just blame it on the old spring fever bug.

Newest figure to be welcomed into our ranks is Wilbur's new secretary, blonde Marian Greene. Of course you know Wilbur, he's that elongated hunk of humanity you see sitting at his desk every noon, munching a sandwich and reading the Morning Daily with both his feet propped up on a drawer as if he owned the whole office. He tells me that Virginia Bow left to become the bride of her sailor, Frederick Scruby, but I'm wondering if it wasn't due somewhat to the fact that working for Wilbur wore her out.

Our sincerest sympathies are extended to Helen Tolle, whose husband was killed in action.

Betty Cook left the Company recently to join the Stork Club and with her go all our congratulations and best wishes.

Claude Burton finally decided he'd be better off to stay in Lebanon so we wish another member fond farewell. He was telling me the other day what a time he had getting through the flood. He said he stood out on the running board one morning and debated whether it would be better to keep on driving or get out and swim the rest of the way. And Paul Williams will have to find some place else to catch up on his sleep 'cause, according to Burton, that's the way he spent the trip in every morning.

Another boy who gave his life for his country was Minnie Ingram's brother, and to her we etend our sympathies.

Out of Season, Too!

We noticed Susy Miller had her green dress on the other day so I guess some more rabbits are headed for the pot. They tell me she just lies out on the grass and catches them as they go by. Now that sounds like a good method but what if they decide to fight back?

Home on furlough recently was Louis Brandenburg's son who is stationed at Boca Raton Field, Fla. Papa "Brandy" is rightfully proud of a son who received the highest grade in Radar school of any previous student.

We're wondering if Vince Gulden is still giving the power house so much trouble on Saturday afternoons.

Eleanor Kemmeter has been spending some time in the hospital lately and all of us here hope to see her back soon fully recovered.

Ellsworth Beatty, I'm ashamed of you! You hard-hearted, untrustorthy personality, you! Can youimagine a more horrible deed than this? For two long, grueling, unswerving years this demon, this breaker of promises, this fiend, has owed poor little defenseless Frankie Gigliotti the unheard of sum of 3 cents. No persecution could be too extensive for such a person!

Prisoner of War

Vera Alexander heard recently that her husband, formerly reported missing, is a German prisoner.

We'd like to know just what's the story behind Roger Hull's starting out for Washington and ending up in Columbus.

Lila Lou Tarvin seems to be making the grade with the sailors around Building No. 26, especially one Gene Crawford.

We got wind of the big stag party held at Jack Kern's home in plenty of time but it's proactically impossible to drag any facts out of these men. Participants were Messrs. Charlie Heckerman, Johnny Stutz, Roger Hull, Bob Goebel, Ralph Miller, Vince Gulden, Jack Young, Don Henry, Paul Snyder, Don Replogle,
