Koslosky Employes
Enjoy Outing
Employes and their families of
Koslosky’s Department Store and
the Shamrock Lounge were guests
of Jan Koslosky at a picnic dinner
held Monday night at Green
Acres.
Following a sumptuous dinner
of baked ham, fried chicken, pota
to salad and all the trimmings,
two baseball teams were formed
with .»rt Madison and Harold
Stewart as captains. According to
reports filtering back, George
Macek, manager of the Shamrock
Lounge proved to be the star first
baseman. Playing on the Stewart
team, Macek took the command
to cover first base literally—al
though his style was a bit unus
ual.
Joe Puhl drew the ever-diffi
cult job of umpire, made none the
easier by one team demanding
four outs -to an inning. Although
the Stewart team lost, they had
nothing but praise (?) for their
opponents—lauding their fine
sluggers Sherman and Nunnley.
“We had a great time,” everyone
agreed.

-heavy timber, limbs, hardwood,
softwood, frozen wood—because it
lias a full 3 horsepower.
Many other features too make
