In last week's Statesman appeared an interest- ing account of the development of this huge government munition plant contained in an address given at the Rotary Club by Alex Russell, director of personnel. This company has issued a very excellent house organ or maga- zine for its 7500 employees called "The Commando," with the motto 'Victory is our Business", and edited by Tom Gilchrist. In per- using its pages which are chock- full of interesting news items of employees, inspirational articles, illustrations, we spotted the fol- lowing familiar faces which haîf- tones we secured fromn the pub- lishers: Jus Thornpson whose reason for buying Victory Bonds was "I have a family to, think of. It's their future I want to make secure." Dorothy Jamnes of the Employmerqt Department since December, 1941. "A lot of people know this little lady," comments the Commando. Shei daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank G. James, Oshawa, and a cuin of the editor of The Statesman. Guard Alf. Matthews One man can thank Guard Alf. Matthews that he still has a car. Patrolling the Parking Area re- cently, Alf. noticed smoke coming from the car. Investigating, he noticcd a cigarette butt smolder- ing on the seat. Thanks to Alf. who called the Firq Department, the $700 automobile was saved. Alf was bctter known while living in Bowmanville as "Slim" when he worked at the Brookdale Nur- series and played goal for the local soccer team. Then in looking over the items about No. 1 Line we spied this item which refers to a well known Bowmanvillc lady: "Congratula- tions to Mrs. Madeline Dustan Gerry, 110C, who is the latest lucky winner in the weekly con- test open to those with perfect attendance records. As there was no winner last week, Mrs. Gerry won $20, having gone two weeks with a perfect attendance record. It certainly pays to be on the job regularly." We wish to congratulate the IAlger Press, Oshawa, who publish this splendid house organ. We also note this firmn was awarded a prize in the 1942 Canadian Dir- ect Mail Leaders Contest in the iwartime division on the excel- lence of "The Command~o" as a superior piece of printing.
