HOWARD MEETS
WITH ACCIDENT
While pruning trees
along the telephone line,
between Big Lake and Sec-
end Lake, Phil Howard met
with a lost-time accident,
while he was gathering a
batch of firewood to cook
dinner tn. The belt axe
which he was using acci-
dently glanced off a log
and bit int» his leg. Phil
spent five days in the hospital as a result, and the
twe-week no-l»st-time accident which we had was a-
gain shattered. The last
lost-time accident which
we had »ccurred a few short
weeks ago when Melvin Reed
severely cut himself while
he was working on the thinning project.
The best previous no-
lost-time record was 204
days, made between last
April and November.

A micirophone and the
necessary electric mechanism will be placed in the
private office of the Commanding Officeer. It is
planned to build a wooden
cabinet in which the electrical mechanism will be
placed together with a phonograph turntable. Phonograph records will also be
stored in this cabinet.
It is also planned to
secure phonograph records
of the various bugle calls
which might be used. These
calls will be broadcast
