Sales SlipsOne sunny afternoon of recent date

Carlos (The Brain) Chapman conceived the brilliant idea of augmentinghis present salary with a little additionaincome, to be derived from the wellknown game of golf.

After some deep and diabolical think-ing on his part, he carefully chose hissucker list. First he picked out Douglas"Karl Marx" MacPherson, a gentlemanwho had had vast experience in chasing(and we mean chasing) a golf ball inthe company of many General Motorsand Bendix officials.

Next on the list came "Jack the Rip-per" Pelton who had carelessly left £previous score card of his in his carThe total sum of these figures immed-iately spelled his doom. "Here is freemeat", sez the Brain to himself.

Finally, to round out the gruesomefoursome, he selected the aged and de-crepit "Colonel Rheinhardt von" Cut-ting. His thought in this choice was thatno competition could be offered bythese creaking old bones.

His only regret was that he could notinclude "Junior" Hall and Willie"Strong Arm" Armstrong as an addi-tional source of income. In this, he wasunknowingly smart, as Junior, with oneof those feet, could kick a golf-ballfurther than Senor Carlos could propelone with a golf club. And Willie, withhis well-known prowess with the spade,rake, and hoe, would prove a worthyfoe when out for dough. (Apologies toLongfellow)

After all concerned had acquiesced,the next decision this great mind had tomake was how to choose the propergolf course on which to play. One thatwould be easy for him and presentproblems to the others. He gave con-sideration to Kelly's estate but decidedagainst that, thinking that the cowsmight object. Finally, a choice wasmade. The match was to be played onthe Municipal Rock and Gravel Pile.Then the great day arrived. Nature'selements conspired with Carlos to makethe event a complete success. Stormclouds were hovering in the skies, alight rain was falling, and the wind hadenough of a velocity to buck one ofBobby Jones' drives. The Fairways werecarpeted with at least an inch of water.All of which suited Carl, as he wore his

boots and slicker, even having his golclubs protected by hand-woven over-coats.

The gallery was composed of all thegirls in the Sales office, led. in formationby Miss Lundahl, who had previouslycoached them as to the proper proce-dure and etiquette to be used on suchan occasion. The honor of placing thestarting tees went to newcomers ReginaCamelet and Jerry Hepner, alsoDoris Strite and Earlyne Figg, faithfuold faces recently returned to the SalesDepartment.

When Doug teed off, headed for theM.C.R.R. tracks, (his own fairway)wild jeers came from the order girls—Janet, Joy, Barbara, Marilyn, Eliza-beth, Lee and Wilmot. Bonnie ancMargaret G., being such expert sleuthsdashed wildly in search of the ball.

Jack Pelton chose as his caddies, hinamesakes Jackie N. and Jackie PDell trailed along, as she is used to fol-lowing Jack's footsteps (anyway arouncthe office.)

Carl, being a man of figures, electeeto have as his caddies Dort and Elaine

Dick finally reached the green ancwas ready to putt, when up stepped theentire steno corps, Nancy, Mary, Mar-garet, and Agnes. Led by Irene, theycried in unison, "We can't understancyour roll." Dick missed the putt.

Dorothy M., our Legal Adviser, ad-vises that any further description oithis battle of the divots is liable to belibel.

Optical AssemblyWe are all happy to see Barbara

Helfrich and Virginia Susnjer back atArgus. Long time no see!

Holidays With PayHolidays come fast in May and July.

There are always a few employees whoare new or who have missed the noticeson Holiday with Pay. Following is a re-print of the Holiday with Pay policy.

In order to qualify for holiday pay,it is necessary to work the last workingday prior to the holiday and the firstworking day following the holiday.This does not mean half a day, leavingearly, or reporting late. It means work-ing the regular eight hour working day.No absence of any sort is acceptable,except for personal illness substantiatedby our First Aid Department, or. by awritten statement from your doctor.

Vacation InformationBy this time, vacation lists have been

distributed. Due to the fact that a verylarge proportion of employees have twoweek vacations, the factory departmentsof Argus will be shut down for a twoweek period Friday, July 23, to Mon-day, August 8.

It will be necessary for some employeesto stay on, due to the nature of theirjobs, and the determination of whichemployees will be working during theshut down period will be made by thevarious department heads. The depart-ment heads will also make the necessaryvacation arrangements with these em-ployees.

Some of the departments of salariedemployees are closely related to the fac-tory departments. It is probable thatthese departments will schedule vaca-tions from July 23 to August 8. Forthose departments whose work is re-lated to the uninterrupted functioningof company business, the vacation per-iods will be arranged on an individualbasis with the department heads.

Security Bond DriveApril payroll deduction $2762.00May 15th payroll deduction.. 2442.00Special bond purchases 6398.00

Total to date $11602.00The four $1000 bdnds have been

duction plan for investment of that taxreduction. Payroll bond deduction isavailable to every employee. Any bondsbought thru' payroll deductions or cashwill be credited to the Argus quota of>31,000.

pathy to his wife and family.

PROFILESby H. J. R.

BENSON. Ivan J.

Manager of the Service Department and familiarly and universally knownas "Doc" because of medical studies at the University of Michigan before hisdebut at Argus in the Fall of 1932. These studies, however, seemed to havebeen punctuated by various excursions into the musical field in which skill as adrummer and fiddler took him into dance halls, skating rinks, etc. Played pro-fessionally before this and at one time was engaged by the Detroit Yacht Clubfor 18 months. Went on the road with the Mirimba Band—a well known andpopular outfit at the time. Was born in Wisconsin, has been married 17 yearsand owns his own home at 904 Edgewood, Ann Arbor. On a recent businesstrip to California for the Company he visited 65 dealers to determine theirservicing needs and problems.

If Argus, Incorporated moved to a

new location, we would notify you.

It is just as important for you to notify

us if you change your residence.

Leola and Johnny spent a weekendup north with her mother and Dad.They also went to Ypsilanti to seeHarry Axelson. Harry is coming alongiust fine.

If you see Mary Jane and Bessie sit-ing in a corner all by themselves withtheir heads together, you will know;hey have a new pattern, and are discus-sing the material to be used.

Harold won a medal for sharp shoot-ing— he hit 198 Bull's Eyes out of 200.Good shooting Harold.

Olive kept her sister company lastweekend.

Lucky us—Wirt brought his birthdaycake in to Salvage so we could sample it.[t was s-0-0 good. It was all of 5 incheshigh, snow white on the inside with

icing as yellow as gold. Makes me hun-gry to think of it. Wish I could haveanother generous helping.

AccountingWe have neglected to introduce to

you Beverly Sachar, who came to takeEmily Pettit's place. Beverly hails fromBrooklyn, and her husband is an en-gineering student at the U. of M. Emilyleft to stay home and keep an eye onher nine year old son.

We also bid farewell to Mary KayJackson and Homer Naley. Mary Kay'shusband was transferred to Harrisburg,Illinois, and Homer left to accept aposition in Detroit.

Hazel Piper has been transferredfrom the Payroll Department to Ac-counts Receivable. She is an Ann Ar-borite, and is ambitious enough to getup and feed her two riding horses beforecoming to work in the morning.

Service ScoopsHave you ever wanted to kick your-

self hard because you had a golden op-portunity to take some exclusive pic-tures of an accident, but you left yourC-3 or Argoflex home? Well, I imaginethat has happened to a good share ofus photo bugs. That's life, some peoplejust seem to get right in on things likethis and walk out of newspaper officeswith green folding stuff. Others maketheir hobby pay the hard way.

I've heard of a case where some guywitnessed a truck crashing through aconcrete fence and then dive 15 feetdown to another highway right side up.The truck driver got out of his cabwithout a scratch. When the wholeshow was crver the witness got back intohis car and drove off. Two miles later hesuddenly realized he had a loaded C-3right on his front seat.

Last Saturday morning I drove mytwo youngsters to Detroit via the ex-press highway. Of course, my camerawas loaded and ready for action and aschance would have it an accident didtake place. A big semi-truck turnedcompletely over with a full load of beer.I stopped my car, grabbed my cameraand ran across to the other side of theroad. Calmly I began taking pictures

Ap m all angles. Then, with exclusiveJtats, I drove straight to Detroit. Iparked my car, hurried over to theTimes Building—"Where's the photolab?" I asked the man at the informa-tion desk. "Sixth floor to the right," heanswered. Well, it didn't take me longto locate the lab and contact the manin charge of the dark room. After ex-plaining the accident to him he askedme for the film. I unloaded the cameraand he hurried into the dark room. Iwaited excitedly outside. Shortly after-wards, the lab technician came out withnegatives still dripping hypo. "Somethingwent wrong somewhere," he said, "Youhave a blank sheet of acetate film." Well,needless to say, I was stung. I felt likeI had stepped on the wrong end of arake and had the handle hit me smackin the face. How could this happen tome??? You guessed wrong brother—there was no lens cap on my taking lens.I later realized that upon inserting thefilm roll in the camera, the black sidewas facing up, so that the entire filmwent through on top without receivinga bit of incident light. I apoligized fortaking up this man's time and, while Iwas making a hurried retreat to a signmarked EXIT, I resolved to confine myphotographic work to nice easy thingslike still life.

She's Clarence's Girl

Cute Margaret Ann McCann is thelight of Clarence Bross' life. Margaretis the daughter of his niece.

Camera AssemblyWe take out the hammer and nails

and nail up the "Welcome Back" signfor Barbara Russeau, who is onceagain back with the gang. It is good tosee you back, Barb.

While we have Barbara back, we stillhave two missing. Florence Schwem-min, who went to the hospital, andViola DeWolfe, who is also there. Bothfor operations. We are sorry to see themout and we've sent them notice to "GetWell." Here's hoping to see them soon.

Loma O'Donnell has gone home toplan a nursery. We tried to give her astart but she was so excited over thelucious robe she received as a goingaway present, we haven't heard howthings are going. The gift wrappingswere due to the decorating skill of MissWackenhut.

Speaking of Frieda Wackenhut, wemay not have her with us too long. Herskill in decorating, especially interior,is becoming so much in demand it maytake her from our ranks.

Birthdays were again celebrated byseveral people. The most original giftwe found was a beautiful dandelioncoursage received by Ginny Jacques.We would like to know who the floristis.

The O'Donnels and two other mem-bers of Argus recently attended a NotreDame game in South Bend, Indiana.They had lots of fun, from what weheard. Ask them for more informationif you want, for I couldn't begin to tellit like they do.

Around The In-ProcessStock Room

We are very glad to see Dick Lynchback to work again. Glad you are feel-ing better Dick.

We welcome Wally Papuga back toexpediting.

Gordon Clark and Harry DeBruyneflew up to Holland over a week-end tolook at the tulips.

Ad LibbingThe "Commander" returned to Ann

Arbor on May 12th—rolled up hissleeves and began to open mail. Therewas also the pleasant matter of wel-comers who poured into the office tofind out if the Navy had learned any-thing new, how was Cuba doing, andhow Mac was feeling after two weeksin the United States Navy. He put themall back on their heels with his Navyjargon, and began to explain that un-fortunately he didn't know how Cubawas doing. Even though there was nocruise for Mac—his two weeks at Glen-view Naval Air Station were mightypleasant, we understand. There was anOld Salt who played good cribbage, awell appointed Officers' Club—some fly-ing duty and old friends from here andthere. The whole crew of us here inAdvertising—including some old Navymen and a very enthusiastic femaleNavy-booster—are very glad to haveMac McCoy aboard again.

A famous beauty expert in Detroitwhisked away Edythe's shoulder lengthhair with deft and well placed snips sothat now she is a picture of the 1948New Look for Spring.

A quarter of a century dawned forBecky Matson on May 18th and she isnow a very old and very wise twenty-five. She had a pink birthday cake anccandles—presents with all the trimmings—not to mention a few hecklers to re-mind her that a quarter of a century isa 1-o-o-o-ong time.

The University here in Ann Arbor isproud of its distinguished alumnae whohave made some great strides for them-selves in the Artistic Field. The Univer-sity is now watching Ed Drury withthe same tender pride, we are sure. Ecis splashing his way through the Exten-sion courses at Michigan in the mannerof the bold Modernistic school. Itshouldn't be long before he is ready todisplay his artistic attempts. We werethinking of a mural or two in the caf-eteria. Ed and Jimmy Barker are hav-ing sessions now and then on very ad-vanced problems of art and we imaginethere will be more to come.

Battle Of The20th Century

Yes, it certainly was a battle, and forabout a week before the big night thegirls kept hearing remarks flung atthem like: "I hear the boys are goingto show your team how to bowl," and"You'd better be prepared to take abeating."

In fact the whole thing started asthe result of remarks made by certainmen bowlers concerning the bowlingability of the girls in general, and the"Ar-Gals" team in particular, so it isnot surprising that a match game wassoon arranged for May 7th at the 20thCentury Bowling Alleys.

No, they didn't bowl average againstaverage. The girls got the usual mere60% of the difference between averageswhich amounted to 71 pins a game.

After the girls took the first game 729against the boys' 710, the boys got downto business and came back with a 727game, which was enough to beat the

girls' 671. Now the score was tied at1 to 1 and the yelling from both teamswas now joined by snouts from practic-ally every bystander in the building.

The Ar-Gals came through with an817 game to capture not only 2 out of3 games, but total pins as well. Most ofthe credit for this goes to Millie Joneswith her 521 series, which was 37 pinshigher than any series scored by themen.

Here is the record:Millie Jones 5 2 1

Les Schwanbeck 390Footnotes: May we add that, even

though there was no foul boy (no punintended) foul lines were observed, par-ticularly by one member of the men'steam, who did it at the range of about1 inch from his nose!

Personnel PersonalsThat broad grin on Roy's face and

his "Say, I have another baby," is thebig news in the bright sunny office ofthe Personnel Department now-a-days.Margaret Carey is Roy's month oldgrand-daughter. That makes four grand-children, two boys and two girls. Whatfun. they will have at the "Lake" withgranddad this summer!

Mrs. Radford was very pleased oneSunday afternoon. Her son from Detroitand Kathy, her daughter from this city,with their mates and children droppedin to see her. Frances, Mrs. R's young-est daughter, will be graduated from theUniversity of Michigan on June 12th.Fran, who majoried in advertising, isquite an artist.

Still speaking of families, FrancesWatterworth and family motored to alittle town near Kalamazoo to visit hermother. It was a splendid week-end togo, as it was the long Memorial week-end and the weather man provided beau-tiful sunny blue skies.

The week-end of the 22nd Bev andRuss journeyed to the land of tulips.They were pushed around by the crowdand then stood in line for two hours to

see the parade and the other festivities.Although they had a fine time, Bev'sadvice to all enthusiastic flower loversis to go to Holland after the festival ifone wants to get a glimpse of the tulips.

Barb spent the long holiday painting.She took her water-color box underher arm and walked rather aimlesslyaround until something caught her eye.Barb has a lot of talent along this line.

Betty and her husband are in a rut.They studied the entire week-end, butit won't be long before they can enjoy

their large backyard and dig in the gar-den.

Speaking of gardens, Mr. Reid hasobtained the title of "chief gardener" Qjthe Reids' new residence on Aryshi'Road. Everything is progressing nicelyexcept—there is one small, brown, dim-eyed animal that really is making ltfe

miserable for the gardener. It seemsevery morning when Mr. Reid looks outof the window, the mole has made newadvances in ploughing the yard. This isclearly a fight for existence; we hopeMan wins!
