Theretore | and Mr. Warren, as a_ telegraph operator for Western Union, was the first person in the United States to hear about the sinking of the United States battleship Maine in Havana harbor on February 15, 1898. He said that, of the fight in New Orleans be- tween John L. Sullivan and James J. Corbett. When the flash came in that Corbett had knock- ed out Sullivan in the twenty- second round, Mr. Warren an- nounced the result to the crowd, which included John Paul Fag- an, who cried out, “I’ll bet fitfy dolars Corbett didn’t knock him out!” “Why bet,” Mr. Warren “said, “when we know from the mes- sage he was knocked out?” “I don’t care what the mes- sage says—here’s fifty dollars he didn’t do ‘it.” Such was the faith that an Paul Fagan had in the prowess of John L, Sullivan! Half a doz- en others in the crowd offered to cover the bet, thinking that Mr. Fagan would back down. But he put up the money, and, of course, lost’ it. When Mr. Warren left the employ of the Western Union, he entered tlte custom house service in Key West, and went from there to the First National 132 about that time and money saving device of yours, or that better method of doing some- thing. ‘There’s always room for efficiency, and instead of saying to Joe or Bill—“Why, we could do that in half the time if... .”) just drop a line in the red-white- and-blue painted suggestion boxes, and we'll see if it can be done. No matter how small your idea might seem, it may grow into something big. What’s more, besides having your name on the honor roll you'll have extra spending money! DIPLOMATIC INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS OFFICE Lt.-Comdr. Fred Glading is a tremendous asset and a real live- wire in the Industrial Relations Office. One of his outstanding qualifications is his aggressive- ness and eagerness to help the civilians’ in any industrial prob- lems they ifay envounter. Dur- ing the course of his job he re- ceives and even welcomes com- plaints and suggestions so he can attempt to remedy situations and help any person in the yard who has a problem pertaining to his job. I think this is wonderful because I believe a good worker is a satisfied worker. BACK NIGHT PAY BEING COMPUTED A special appropriation from Washington has provided a fund with which to pay former night shift workers on a_ retroactive basis. All night shifts pay earned prior to September 16, 1944 is Bank, where he worked for 25 years, retiring five years ago. Funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock in the Lopez chapel, with the Rev. James H. MacConnell, tor of St, Paul’s Church, officiat- ing, and interment will be in the farfily’’ plot in the local cemetery. Mr. Warren leaves the widow, Mrs. Leonara Warren; two daughters, Miss Consuelo War- ren and Mrs. Rosalie W. Garth- side; a son, Thomas K, Warren, Jr.; sister, Mrs. Joseph E.

INFRINGEMENTS ON BEACK CLUP PRIVACY Bona fide members Civilian Beach Club the south end of Simonton street are) expressing distinct displeasure in regards to the influx of non- members who insist on ferquent- ing the club. The practice of un- authorized persons slipping into the grounds and uninvited child- ren swimming off the bathing pier will be sharply curtailed with the new system of periodic membership eard checking. The Beach Club is rdistinctly private and will remain so in the future. The Meskas, ‘present managers, are doing an admirable job in- fercing the strictly private rule.
