Uncle Bungstarter has returned
after recuperating from two “shel-

(the City Manageri and Pappy
O”Daniel massacres). He was out
at “that place” when the sheriff
arrested the dancer for appearing
in less clothes than some of the
customers were wearing. Bungy
says that the young lady should be
complimented for her patriotic en-
deavors . inasmuch as most of us
have donated our binoculars to the
Navy for the duration and she was
just substituting a display, that
could be seen in some windows (in
some neighborhoods) with the use
of a pair of binoculars .that was
one of the main inducements to at-
tend meetings, at the old meeting
place, and our astronomy class
ranked high among local A. F. L.
students of astronomy (Websterian
definition, “an observer of heaven-
ly bodies”). Bungy says'that this
act was Carried to a conclusion by
the applause of the audience : . .
the more applause . . . the more-
there was to be observed (we no-

observed, ‘The theatrical business
is not only glorifying the American
girl ... it is also exposing her.”

much faster than our planes.

Ladies' Auxiliary
To Electrical
Workers No. 716
Hello again:
The Electrical Workers had their
annual picnic Sunday, September
13, at Spring Branch Gun Club.
The attendance was not as large as
usual because so many of our L. U.
members had to work. There were
plenty of refreshments and hot
dogs for all. The dahce music was
furnished by Kit Reid and his
Knight Owls. The orchestra re-
ceived a very liberal applause after
each dance number, and many said
it was one of the best they had
heard in some time. Kit Reid is
the band leader at Rice Institute.
Mr. D. H. Bevans is to be congratu-
lated on his selection of a dance
orchestra. Mr. Carl Lauricella had
charge of the watermelons and as-
sisted with all other refreshments.
Mr. Ells, who was general chair-
man, was Assisted by all the com-
mittee very ably. Mr. Jacobs was
on hand to help wherever he was
needed. The committee ladies were
Mesdames Art G. Ellis, Kate Dowd,
Harry George, Leo Jacobs and Geo.
Wolfram.
The Auxiliary members had a
social meeting Tuesday, September
15. The social chairman was Mrs.
Claude Griffin, and she was assist-
ed by Mesdames Clyde Foley and
Geo. Wolfram. Games and contests
formed the diversion. A refresh-
ment course of ice cream and cake
was served. Prizes were awarded.
Mrs. Crate addressed the member-
ship on behalf of the Community
Chest.
Mr. and Mrs. Art Ellis, Jr., have
another baby son, born Saturday,
September 19, at Memorial Hos-
pital. Mother and baby are doing
nicely. The parents have not yet
decided on a name. Mr. and Mrs.
Billy Kirsch have a new baby also.
Your reporter believes their bab
was born Thursday, September 10.
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Holm are
leaving Houston for the duration.
Mr. Holmes is being sent to St.
Louis. He will be in the Govern-
ment service in the torpedo plant.
Mrs. Holm was the honoree at a
farewell party given her by Mrs.
Geo. Kuhn Tuesday, September 22,
at the home of Mrs_Kuhn, 3007
Norhill. It was a most Attractive
party, the patriotic color theme be-
ing carried, out in the refreshment
course. Individual cakes, each bear-
in the name of the honoree, were
very effective. The ice cream in
the patriotic color scheme was most
delicious. :
Mrs. Holm was presented with a
very beautiful week-end bag as a
friendship gift. The Auxiliary pre-
sented her with a ver pretty black
leather purse. This was a retiring
gift as well as a gift of apprecia-
tion for her loyalty to the Auxil-
iary. The hostess had an added
gift, a very attractive book for the
autographs of the guest personnel.
An interesting contest provided the
entertainment. Colorful summer
blossdms were arranged effectively

While our one aim is the winnihg

does not want us to. And I can give
assurance that Uncle Sam will be
especially considerate in the many
restrictions in force to enable
union workers to carry on the busi-

its organization, the conference has
accomplished much good, and there
are plenty more potentialities for
accomplishment for the conference.

M. H. Vance, former St. Francis
country lad, and Pinky Davis got
together for a high water gahfest,
and both agreed that the 1912 flood
over that way was the most enthu-
siastic show the “Ole Mississip"
ever put on. That was the most
water we ever saw, at one time,
since Uncle Squirt quit the dairy
business.

The golden jubilee rededication
of the Union Printers Home Sun-
• day evening was carried out in
thoroughly different surroundings
from those of-the dedication of’the
institution 50 years ago. The great-
er part of the crowd then walked
“way out through the country” in
a hot and dusty parade, behind a
band, and with the Chaffee light
artillery bringing up a brass can-
non and firing a salute. There was
but one small building on the
grounds.
Those who set the type that tells

on the spacious lawn. Many per-

The exercises started at 6 p. m.
after a band concert sponsored by

Home Example of Security
“This is a sober occasion and we
1 are called on for feelings in a
i retrospective fashion,” said C..M.
Baker, president of the Interna-
PKtional Typographical Union. “It is
a rare and priceless privilege to be

sturdy men and women who found-

they were their brothers’ keepers.
The lives of .printers, pressmen,
bookbinders and those of other al-
Jied trades had not been abundant.
The home was born in the belief
that God helps those?"who help
v themselves. Most of those who
started the institution have written
“30,” but the torch burns on. The
“en and women who founded the
home are not forgotten. There will
