ELECTRICAL RESEARCH

(Continued from Page Twenty-three)

[beauti]ful set of dishes was Betty's gift from fellow employees here. The couple plan to make their home in Belmont.

Some of us through we were seeing things the day a sailor, formerly stationed here, came home from overseas and greeted his girl in true Navy fashion. Get the details from Dorothy Ludwig for it looked serious.

As one reporter to another, Mickie, how's this new romance with the shortest, cutest sailor in Building 26 coming along?

Lots of luck to Mrs. James Brubaker, the former Dotty Woltering, who will, in years to come, celebrate her wedding anniversary on July 29.

All of us felt even more strongly than over the made press of world events as we took Bruce Cowden's hand in a farewell clasp that hot day in August. He's been wish us a long while now and I know that a lump came to more than one throat, though cheery good wishes were the order of the day. And our hearts go out to his wife and two sons, the youngest born to them only this spring, of whom he is so proud. Take care of yourself, Bruce, and--hurry back.

Our deepest sympathies go to the family and friends of our former employee, Sarah Cline, who passed away recently.

Good luck to Katheleen Will who married and bade her friends farewell as she left to join her husband.

What could Virginia Dillon and Clara Mather be doing in the basement of the Keith Theater? As the story goes, they got lost trying to find their way out. Maybe next time they should hire a guide!

Departures

Looking around, we find that during the past months quite a few of our friends left the Company. Ellen Larson and Loma Elmore left to resume school. Gertrude Prickettjoined her husband. Violet "Penny" Lewis left and plans to take nurses training. Eva Telford also left the Company.

Two lucky ladies were Joanna Heaton and Grace Williams whose week-end trip to Chicago proved to be more than interesting. Highlighted activities were attending the popular musical "Oklahoma" and witnessing a broadcast of the Breakfast Club.

Electrical Research is quite proud of the three sets of sisters now working here. They are: Mary Low and Loma Elmore; Mildred Thompson and Minnie Ingrim; Loraine Cadot and Mary and Virginia Fox.

The best of luck to Helen Balong as she leaves to go into the service of the WAVES.

August birthdays included those of Jane Agnoo, Ruth Bussard, Tom Conley, Clifford Myers, George Evans, and Roland Usleman. September babies were Betty Kenyon, Jack Young, and Nannie Powell.

SPOTLIGHT!

In our series of Electrical Research personalities, we are proud to present one Louie Conger, a friendly fellow well worth knowing. A good family man, he tells often of his nine-year-old daughter whose extraordinary musical talent is her father's pride and joy. She has danced, sung, and played her way into the hearts of many a radio audience, a mighty good record for one young 'un. With his 32 years of faithful service to the NCR, Louie is, without a doubt, eligible to our list of good workers and his agreeable, jolly nature has won him many friends here. Formerly of the U.S. Marines, he could give you first-hand information of World War I, but Louie isn't given to talking much about himself so we'll leave it up to you to get acquainted and, in so doing, acquire a new friend.
