Cost Capers
The Office is prettty quiet this week. The North Woods has called two of our members. Bob Ward
and Norm Tweed are our representatives this year. Hope they have better luck hunting deer than they
do hunting ducks ! It seems that nearly every Friday we hear great plans going on around the office.
Roy. Glenn and Bob discussing a Duck Hunting Expedition. From the group you will hear these words,
"Be sure to be at my house by five o'clock as we want to get an early start!" So much for
Friday. Monday morning, should you happen to ask them how many ducks they shot, you will get a cold
reply, "None". Eunice says that Ray left for the North with enough equipment to go ■on
an Artic Expedition so she doesn't Icnow when he will be back. Gert is pretty happy these days. Eric
has finished school and landed a wonderful job in Muskegon with Bennet Pumps as Assistant Traffic
Manager. So Gert will be leaving us - as soon as ihey find a house. She says she hopes it won't be
long. At any rate, we wish them luck. Do vou hear those wedding bells?
Marilyn has been walking around in a rosy haze these past weeks ... in fact, ever since she
announced that November 28th was to be the Big Day in her life! Of course, she has been given all
kinds of advice on how to train a husband, etc. All joking aside, we wish her .all the happiness in
world and we think that Dave is a lucky fellow. The bad part of it is that she will be leaving us to
live in Detroit where Dave is attending Lawrence Tech. We wish to welcome Eleanor Ramfvvho is taking
Marilyn's place. She s1 from Bay City and is a gradúate the University of Michigan. We yish
to assure her that in time she wil! get used to this bunch of scatterbrains Kathryn has been having
trouble getting to work these days. She says there are more people going to work at lier house than
there are cars so she has to come to work by the way of Willow Run in order to take her trother to
work.
Grace threw a little party before and after the Argus Dance. A good time was had by all. Ask
Eunice and Juanita Sunday was a mighty short day ! Mary Jane's family is reunited again Her mother
and daughter are back for a vacation in Washington where they spent a few months with Mary Jane's
sister, and her brother is home from overseas. So they should have a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Personnel Personals
Our Mary is finally married . . . it is to her credit that she found time to send us each a
message from the Great Smokies. We think she and Rosie are back in Detroit by now, but still
honeymooning for an indefinite period, forever perhaps. They were married on October 27, with just a
few members of each family present. On October 10, at a dinner party for twenty-four at the Allenel,
we had a chance to meet Rosie. He is every bit as nice as Mary said, an extreme statement if you
listened to Mary those days. The party was fun, with flowers and candlelight, wonderful food and
everyone very gay. It was especially nice to meet some of the wives, husbands and sweethearts of our
Argus friends. Mary was presented with a sterling silver -'■ ik set.
IkD; es anyone know where Fran and J:rjKi Galloway can find an apartm. c? They have one small,
very exr-ensive room and l14th of a bathroom, and they would like to expand a little. They would
make ideal tenants - no children, pets, musical instruments or bad habits. They have even learned to
breathe quietly and walk on their tiptoes.
Spitz, our glamour boy with the Barrymore profile, had a shower the other day when he opened the
back window. Glad it woke him up, as that dreamy look had disappeared. Have you noticed the
love-sick look Freddie has these days? We know who she is but we'll keep it a secret Bentz ....
honest injun! Bob B. went deer hunting and came back with a patched-up face. I never knew deer liked
to bite! Better Iuck next season, Bob.
Epalmer
Optical Illusions
Bernie is hitting a high pace getting grinding tests. All I can say is KEEP OUT OF HIS WA Y
BROTHER! Jim Swaney is a fellow of a few words, but watch out for those few. Pepper (our smiling
boy) is still keeping up his bowling average. Nice work, Pep. Albert K. opens that window wide and
drinks in the fresh air as we slowly freeze to death. Wish we could all be that healthy! Paul M's
favorite tune seems to be "Doing What Comes Naturally", and naturally we have to bear his
singing. Wonder who brought Kay M. (our inspector), the apple? In our langwidge .... that 's
bribing!
Smudges From The Paint Shop
Della Diuble surprised us very much the other day when she came to work with a beautiful diamond
ring on her third finger, left hand. The reason it was such a surprise is that Della was the girl
who was going to be different. Even though she always said "Oh, no, not me!", we think
Alton Blaess is a mighty lucky fellow! It is too bod that we have to have bad news too. Katie
(Bauer) Keaton's brother was seriously injured when hit by a car on Plymouth Road. Katie's last
report is that he has improved slightly. Sally (Stone) Wentworth has been in the hospital this week.
We all hope she will be back soon. Katherine Pfabe left the Paint Shop inspection and is now in raw
inspection. She regretted leaving her friends back there but is very happy in her new department.
Bill Phillips was the only one from our midst to travel north but the deer stayed out of range of
Bill's gun. Wekome to Joyce Dwyer. She is doing the packing in the Paint Shop.
Receiving Inspection
We are glad to have Mary Briggs jack after a brief illness, also Nina just walked in from a long
time in the hospital. Welcome back to them both. Some of the boys are off on hunting trips. Harold
is already back with a "six-pointer". Lucky fellow! Cupid is really at work in this
Department. We see Mary Jane has a new diamond and is she up in the clouds! We are glad to have
Katherine move in with us. Leola went to Columbus last Friday to see the big football game, and also
did some Christmas shopping. We are also glad to have Olive Knowlson come in our department from
across the hall. Leola and Laura really get around. They attended the bowling games at Detroit last
Saturday and Leola saw the Lions play the Greenbay Packers on Sunday. We had a pet cat
"Kilroy" for a few days but Amanda adopted him and says he is getting fat. Ida really
loves children and parties. She helped play hostess to 25 children on Saturday, celebrating one of
the S-year-old's birthday. Tired Ida? Nina wishes to thank all the girls and her friends here who
send gifts, cards and flowers while she was ill. We guess Louise is bashful. She was here five long
years last week but wouldn't pose for her picture. There are three girls in our department who are
very lucky. We cali 'em Doris, Mary B. and Leola sometimes. Anyhow, some of us are thinking of
changing our names to "Min".
There is a girl working with us who has the oddest "trait." She loves to eat so well
she gets up f rom a sound sleep and makes puddings or other goodies in the wee hours of the morning.
Ruth has returned to work after a brief illness. Be careful girls about inviting Mary Jane and
Lillian to your house. They crawl under the beds and look in dresser drawers to see what kind of a
housekeeper you are.
A Letter To St. Nick
Dear Santa Claws: It's been a year since I last root to yoo. I wood have riten sooner but I
figured once a yeef was enuf cause Christmas onley comes once a year. First I want to ask fer a few
things fer my pais here in the Sales Department. They're all good kids and deserve the best. Please
bring Evelyn a valume of books about Napoleen. She's reel interested in him now. Wants to find out
all she can about him. (You mite also bring her a padded cell to go with Napoleen). Ann's little
black book is gittin kinda full and she'd like a new one, with separate places fer different kinda
peopie. Fer instance, a place fer salesmen's ñames. Phyllis would like a subscription to her
home town newspaper, "The Buffalo Big Wind". She still thinks Buffalo's a perty good town.
Last yeer you gave Elaine a Dolí for Xmas. This yeer she'd like a nice new pair of plaid
slacks cause all the other kids on the bowling team have got a pair. We jest found out that Pat cood
play the piano real good. But, pleeze, Santa, she ain't got one at her apartment so
will you bring her one. While you're in town, wood you pleese hang up a welcome sign on our new
girl's desk. Her name is Katherine Tessmer and she's reel nice. Fleurette asks, cood she have a
pnvate line hooked up between here and Pennsylvania so she could talk to her folks down there
whenever she feels üke it. Dorothy don't ask fermuch. Maybe a new desk cause she sure has a
hard time seeing anything from bebine that post. Katy is perty easy to please so yotr bring whatever
you think wood make her the happiest. Iff you have room, wood you drop a baby bed all painted pink
at Mr. Armstrong's house. You know he has a new baby daughter now. Her name is Judy. Jim Steele is
up in Service now so I don't know what he wood like. We hated to see him go. "Doe" Benson
sure got a good deal. Seems like Elsie is jest interested in her apartment and getting it finished
so anything you cood do to help her out, I know she'd appreciate. Try and give Miss Lundahl a very
Merry Christmas cause she sure has done her best to give those people in Europe a happy one. Irene
is all taken up in her house work and she likes it fine but, Santa, jest between you and me I think
she'd love a round trip ticket to Noo York. Cood you bring Mr. Davis a bear skin rug? I guess he
didn't get the one he went up north after. Must be it wasn't there when he arrived. We also have a
noo girl who onley works afternoons. Her name is Laura Legg. Will you give her a big welcome. Maybe
you've got a book with a few facts for fine filing for Barb. She is always so busy I'll bet she'd
like that to reed in her spare time. Anything you cood do to increase the output of milk at Kelly's
dairy farm, sure he'd appreciate. It's my personal opinión that Mr. 'Howell shouldn't have
jest a plain office. Dealing as he does with so many foreign countries, I think his office should be
draped with oriental drapes; there should be insense burning, soméone constantly playing
bagpipes and tea and crumpets served every afternoon. How about it Santa? Last but not least,
there's Doris and Jackie. Kinda hard to say what they'd like. I think maybe a joke book for Doris.
She sure gets a big kick out of jokes. I hate to see Doris get a book if Jackie doesn't, so you
better bring her one too. How about "Don Juan"? Well, Santa, I guess that's about all,
except me of course, who isn't asking for much. Maybe a twenty room house, mink coat, few stocks and
bonds and a small checking account. Love & Kisses, Sales Girls & Boys

About the happiest girl in the Optical Assembly was none other than Dagney Smock. The reason of
course, was because hubby Bob came home on furough before being sent overseas. He ooked swell,
Dagney. Hope he won't )e gone too long. We missed Esther Woelper when she was absent for several
days. Her little grandson was ill and Esther played nursemaid to the pride of her heart. Helen
Fraser recently celebrated her birthday. She received many lovely gifts but the one we were most
interested in was that white dresser set. Aren't birthdays fun though? The line up at the First Aid
door was for our fiu shots. Many were pale and weak-kneed, but no casulties. Here's ïoping we
all stay healthy kids. If you'd like to find out the long way to Belle Isle, just ask Rosie . . . or
if you are wondering why she likes 3erry Como so well, she might teil you . . if you ask real nice.
Ruth Scheetz tells this one on Norma Bennett. a former Optical gal, who is now Mrs. Watravich. It
seems she and ler hubby were walking down a mountain trail in Pasedena, California recently, when lo
and behold, a deer walked up to them and died at their feet. They examined it and found no ;races of
wounds. We've decided it must lave been Norma's charm that caused the swoon.
Then there's a story going around about four Optical girls who just thrive on Joe's hamburgers.
The beer is equally as good. There's nothing like a round meal on a square table, hey girls? Ted is
the lucky boy that rates all the taxi service at noon every day. All that and a pretty brunette too.
No wonder we don't rate. Now it can be told! Esther recently shot the works and invested in a movie
camera to take with her o verseas. Anything worth photographing in the meantime, will be shot. This
is a warning to all her friends who are camera shy. We're doing very nicely in our bowling this
season. The Lucky Strikes still have top billing but the Office crew is too close behind for
comfort. The race might be interesting to watch. They klso teil one about two girls who went to the
Michigan-Wisconsin game and on the way out asked the wrong person what the score was. What they
don't slip in cokes these days! More fun! Our Eager Beaver for this month is Red Petrson. We swear
he loves his work. Just try and follow his footsteps for a day. Now we know why he just can't get
chubby.

Sports Highlights
After eleven weeks of the 1946-47 rgus bowling season, the Cellar Aces are keeping their
surprising pace and are now enjoying a three game margin. In the past few weeks, despite stiff
challenges from other entries, the Aces have been moving along at a merry clip, and definitely have
proved themselves capable of winning the championship. Captain Sid Weiner has his team-mates pepped
up and each week their confidence is more noticeable. Joe Clemens. Norm Tweed, Les Schwanbeck. Jack
Covey and "Slow Motion" Rockman have been bowling well in the last frames and even though
their margin of victory is never large, they keep winning and have now won 31 of the 44 games rolled
this season. After having been the door mat of the League for the past years, it is needless to say
that the Aces are thoroughly enjoying their present position. Three teams are now tied for second
place, and each team is confident that it will be able to overtake the leaders before too many
weeks. These three entries are the Methods. Office and Paint Shop. The Methods five is likely to
take over the lead position. In the persons of Rube Egeler, Johnnie Kendrovics and Fish Kuehn. this
entry boasts the three leading bowlers in the League. Rub has been especiaUy potent this year and
has posted three of the four six hundred series bowled in the League this year. Joe Lyons of the
Toolroom Five is the other bowler who has entered that select group. The Office team which year
after year has been in the fight for the title is again battling for a place in the spotlight. Since
the League was first organized at Argus, this team has always been near the top and has won more
titles than any other team. With the ever popular Roy Hiscock in their line-up the Office will have
much to say about the title before the season is ended next spring. Some of the members of this team
have yet to reach their peak of efficiency, so their chances should improve as the schedule
progresses. The Paint Shop has been receiving a lot of attention lately, and is being looked upon as
one of the best bets. Captain George Pickering has a team that is made up entirely of ex-GI's, and
they are all slowly rounding into the form that they showed before entering the Service. Bill
Phillip. Paul Haines. "Slugger" Sinelli, and Norm Egeler have their eyes on the League
Bunting and are the favorite of many of the League's members. The rest of the teams are pretty well
bunched, and by the time the bowling is next reported, it is very possible that the standings will
be scrambled with teams not mentioned in the place positions.
Basketball
Manager Tommy Neff has called the first practice for the Argus basketteam and the prospects for a
winning team appear brighter than they have for the past few years. The Argus entry was greatly
weakened the past few years because many of the better players were in Service. The return of many
of these will make the competition for starting positions keener, and the brand of ball should
improve considerably. The team will again enter the Industrial League and Neff reports that plans
are for an eight team league. Argus' arch enemy, King-Seeley, will again be entered and the Argus
players are anxious to settle some scores of the past few seasons. The games will be played at
Slauson High, and the Argus Recreation Club hopes that the employees will support the team by
attending as many of the games as possible.

For Ladies Only
At the close of the íirst round oí bowling, the Ladies Bowling League tandings are
very close, showing what teen competition we have had this year. Hickey's Service (formerly Schat
ben Inn), after taking two games f, the Atom Busters. are leading VK League with twenty-four wins
and nine losses. The City Slickers in second place are following close with twenty-two games won and
eleven lost. In third is the Harmony girls with twenty-one games won and twelve games lost. The Atom
Busters (who never know where their car is parked), are putting on a game front and are in fourth
place, having won nineteen games and
ost íourteen. The Alley Wrens and Pin Poppers share fifth place with both teams havmg
seventeen games to their credit and sixteen games in the loss column. The Happy Gang (and they
really are ust that), are next in line in sixth place with sixteen wins and seventeen osses. Machine
Shop is close behind in seventh place with fifteen games won and eighteen games lost. The girls on
the Paint Shop team are in eighth place with fourteen games won and nineteen games lost. Pin-Up
girls are still in there trying with an unlucky (or lucky?) thirteen games won and twenty lost. They
are in ninth place. The Screw Balls and the Anti-Q's are already planning on what to do next week as
both teams are in the cellar. The two top teams meet next week. Wonder what will happen? Some of the
high scores have changed since the last Argus Eyes. Opal Conley rolled a 211 single game and a S57
series which will be plenty difficult to top. These scores went over Sally (Stone) Wentworth's high
single game of 204 and Leola Stoner and Alice Blanchard's high 489 series. The Machine Shop posted a
high single team game with a handicap when they rolled a 776 and Hickey's Service topped the high
team series with a 2186 score. Leona Eichel has had eight spares in a row and Sally Wentworth has
had five strikes in a row. Eileen ("44") Lewis is su re she will get the prize fiH the
lowest single game bowled.
