Service Scoops
Have you ever wanted to kick yourself hard because you had a golden opportunity to take some
exclusive pictures of an accident, but you left your C-3 or Argoflex home? Well, I imagine that has
happened to a good share of us photo bugs. That's life, some people just seem to get right in on
things like this and walk out of newspaper offices with green folding stuff. Others make their hobby
pay the hard way. I've heard of a case where some guy witnessed a truck crashing through a concrete
fence and then dive IS f eet down to another highway right side up. The truck driver got out of his
cab without a scratch. When the whole show was over the witness got back into his car and drove off.
Two miles later he suddenly realized he had a loaded C-3 right on his front seat. Last Saturday
morning I drove my two youngsters to Detroit via the express highway. Of course, my camera was
loaded and ready for action and as chance would have it an accident did take place. A big semi-truck
turned completely over with a full load of beer. I stopped my car, grabbed my camera and ran across
to the other side of the road. Calmly I began taking pictures om all angles. Then, with exclusive
Jtats, I drove straight to Detroit. I parked my car, hurried over to the Times Building -
"Where's the photo lab?" I asked the man at the information desk. "Sixth floor to the
right," he answered. Well, it didn't take me long to lócate the lab and contact the man
in charge of the dark room. Af ter explaining the accident to him he asked me for the film. I
unloaded the camera and he hurried into the dark room. I waited excitedly outside. Shortly
afterwards, the lab technician came out with negatives still dripping hypo. "Something went
wrong somewhere," he said, "You have a blank sheet of acétate film." Well,
needless to say, I was stung. I feit like I had stepped on the wrong end of a rake and had the
handle hit me smack in the face. How could this happen to me??? You guessed wrong brother - there
was no lens cap on my taking lens. I later realized that upon inserting the film roll in the camera,
the black side was facing up, so that the entire film went through on top without receiving a bit of
incident light. I apoligized for taking up this man's time and, while 1 was making a hurried retreat
to a sign marked EXIT, I resolved to confine my photographic work to nice easy things like still
life.
Camera Assembly
We take out the hammer and nails and nail up the "Welcome Back" sign or Barbara
Russeau, who is once again back with the gang. It is good to ee you back, Barb. While we have
Barbara back, we still ïave two missing. Florence Schwemmin, who went to the hospital, and
Viola DeWolfe. who is also there. Both or operations. We are sorry to see them out and we've sent
them notice to "Get Well." Here's hoping to see them soon. Loma O'Donnell has gone home to
plan a nursery. We tried to give her a start but she was so excited over the lucious robe she
received as a going away present, we haven't heard how things are going. The gift wrappings were due
to the decorating skill of Miss
Wackenhut. Speaking of Frieda Wackenhut. we may not have her with us too long. Her skill in
decorating, especially interior, is becoming so much in demand it may take her from our ranks.
Birthdays were again celebrated by several people. The most original gift we found was a beautiful
dandelion coursage received by Ginny Jacques. We would like to know who the florist is. The
O'Donnels and two other members of Argus recently attended a Notre Dame game in South Bend, Indiana.
They had lots of fun, from what we heard. Ask them for more information if you want, for I couldn't
begin to tel] it like they do.
Around The In-process Stock Room
We are very glad to see Dick Lynch back to work again. Glad you are feeling better Dick. We
welcome Wally Papuga back to expediting. Gordon Clark and Harry DeBruyne flew up to Holland over a
week-end to look at the tulips.
Ad Libbing
The "Commander" returned to Ann Arbor on May i2th - rolled up his sleeves and began to
open mail. There was also the pleasant matter of welcomers who poured into the office to find out if
the Navy had learned anything new, how was Cuba doing, anc how Mac was feeling after two weeks in
the United States Navy. He put them all back on their heels with his Navy jargon, and began to
explain that unfortunately he didn't know how Cuba was doing. Even though there was no cruise for
Mac - his two weeks at Glenview Naval Air Station were mighty pleasant, we understand. There was an
Old Salt who played good cribbage, a well appointed Officers' Club - some flying duty and old
friends from here anc there. The whole crew of us here in Advertising - including some old Navy men
and a very enthusiastic female Navy-booster - are very glad to have Mac McCoy aboard again. A famous
beauty expert in Detroit whisked away Edythe's shoulder length hair with deft and well placed snips
so that now she is a picture of the 1948 New Look for Spring. A quarter of a century dawned fo Becky
Matson on May i8th and she i now a very old and very wise twenty five. She had a pink birthday cake
anc candles - presente with all the trimming - not to mention a few hecklers to re mind her that a
quarter of a century is a 1-o-o-o-ong time. The University here in Ann Arbor i proud of its
distinguished alumnae who have made some great strides for them selves in the Artistic Field. The
Univer sity is now watching Ed Drury wit! the same tender pride, we are sure. Ec is splashing his
way through the Exten sion courses at Michigan in the manne of the bold Modernistic school. I
shouldn't be long before he is ready to display his artistic attempts. We wer thinking of a mural or
two in the caf eteria. Ed and Jimmy Barker are hav ing sessions now and then on very ad vaneed
problems of art and we imagin there will be more to come. It is an unhappy thought to thin] that
this month of June, Becky Matson will not be here at Argus to add tha spark to brighten up the
Advertising
Department and so efñciently assist us with the business of the day. Becky and husband Bob
have completed their stay in Ann Arbor and with Bob's new 1948 diploma tucked away in their trunk
they are off to Birmingham, Alabama and a very impressive position for Bob with the Ingalls
Shipbuilding Corporation. There will be a new apartment to arrange and Becky is very anxious to try
her decorator's wings. It really goes without saying that we will be stumbling around here without
her. We wish Becky and Bob the best of times in Alabama and good luck for the future.

Sub-assembly
Number i mystery of the month - who claimed the lovely new wedding band found on the floor by
Bill? It's a big secret, but whoever the owner is we want to wish her lasting happiness.
Marión ("Pockets") and Mike Hirsch were host and hostess to the riveting department
at what turned out to be an "indoor" picnic. After stuffing themselves with the best
potato salad, wienies, etc, the kids played "Pin the tail on the donkey." Everyone had a
good time and got acquainted with everyone else's better-half. May ióth found Gladys Ratti
surprised. Her family had a huge chicken fry birthday party in her honor. Gladys is "tops"
and we all wish her "many happy returns of the day." The pass-word around these parts
seems to be, "Hey, Florence, are you a grandma yet?" Sure hope that BartellTracy
grandchild gets here before this goes to press. We can't stand this suspense much longer. Welcome to
our ranks, "Coddie." Hope you'll like us well enough to stick around for a while. You know
Miss Lowery - we don't have much - but we have a lot of fun. Have you heard a lot of noise
hereabouts? If you have, it was probably Colette Darnell, Dot Flick and "yours truly"
out-bragging each other. Dot's new sewing machine can out-sew Colette's new mixer, but can
Collette's mixer out do my new cooking utensil set ? ? ? It's a good thing I'm bigger than she is.
Ann Arbor shoe stores please note: We'll all need new shoes shortly so please replenish your stocks.
You see - we're wearing out both shoe leather and floors seeing who can get from job to desk the
fastest since the new time card regime. Now I guess I'd better shove off. After that last paragraph
you may have a new reporter next month. This is your "lanky" reporter saying, "Hope
to be seeing you."
Butts-foster
The mysterious wedding band found on third floor belongs to none other than "Gussie."
Gussie really put one over on us. She and Marvin Foster weré married on June 21, 1947. Gussie
s leaving Argus May 28. The place won't be the same without her. Belated congratulations and loads
of luck to you both. So long Dorothy Jean Gray. It has 3een a pleasure working with you and we're
sorry to see you leave. Chicago's gain is our loss.
The Planners
Fred Pearsall is walking in the clouds these days. Seems that he has accomplished the impossible.
Believe it or not, Fred has found a five room apartment tor himself and wife Bea. We are all sorry
that Barbara Ruttle left us. She and her husband Allen are moving to Port Huron, where Dr. Ruttle is
setting up an orthodontic office. Best of luck, Barbara. Shirley Miller is happy again. Her mother
and father are coming home 'rom Texas, where they spent the winter. Muriel Raaf was thrilled last
week when an aunt arrived from England for a visit of a couple of months.
