an average of 94.9 out of TOO for each position. While the score is
not as high as was desired, it is considered very good in view of tl
fact that the team’s practice was done in addition to other duties,
and under the most unfavorable conditions, such as lack of adequate
light, lack of heat, and lack of competition.

This is a man sized job at any time let alone in zero weather when
unfortunately most of the breaks occur. Last week end hr.Johnson
worked on the pipe line after dark with the* thermometer 5 degrees
below zero at a point where the pipe was covered by a foot of water
at low tide. To get at the pipe properly he had to lie down in a
piece of canvas which only partially protected him from the icy water
Sometimes the work calls for the men to work in water up to their
arm pits. For this they use "waders'* or high rubber boots but to g*--*'
wet clothes in freezing weather is a common occurrence. HereTs to
the men on the pipe line*
Quartermaster Run Ragged:- Voice over telephone -"Is this the
Quartermaster? Fy dining room table and chairs are marked and spotter;
you must come right over and clean them up; then, too, I have five
lamps and I want holes bored in the floor so I can connect them up,
then I want the panel taken out of the front door so my dog can run
through without my getting up to open and shut the door - Oh, yes, m.
husband left the stepper in the tub and the water ran all over the f.
causing the plaster down stairs to fall, please hurry up and fix it".
