  • News and Personals from the Field should be sent in so as to be in the Editor's hands before the end of the month. Shortening of articles, due to space limitations sometimes is necessary, but care will be taken to preserve the writer's meaning in every case. We were greatly pleased, on the morning of April 5th, to note the return of Mr. James L. Hamill. who has been in the South for several months. Mr. Herman Mills of the Traffic Department gave the Columbus Office force quite a pleasant surprise the day after Easter by announcing his marriage to Miss Cleone Slatzer, which took place on April 3rd. We extend our heartiest congratulations and best wishes for a long life of prosperity and happiness to these young people. The many friends of Mr. E. C. Callanan, Manager of the Wholesale Lumber Department of the Columbus Office, extend their sincere sympathy in the death of his mother, which occurred at Buffalo, New York, March 30th. Beware! we have a keen detective in our midst. Last month when the March issue of "The Hardwood Bark" came from the press and everyone was making wrong guesses on Miss Muntz's baby picture, Miss Countess L. Taylor was heard to remark in a most decisive manner, "It's Gladys Muntz. I know by the shape of the eyebrows." And that settled it. A few months ago we had a funny paragraph in our columns about Miss Ingamells trying to walk off in "Jerry" Sargent's coat, but now we have one better. Recently, Mr. C. N. Greiner, through error, wore George Hauck's overcoat on a trip to Chicago. Considering Mr. Greiner's rotundity and the fact that George is about as fat as our old friend "Spark-Plug" it must have been a rather "pinchy" fit. Another one of the younger members of our office force has attained that enviable position, a Junior member of the Old Timers' Club. Mr. Willard Frederick Smith, who is now only thirty-two years of age received his old timers emblem the last day of March. Mr. Smith started work for our organization ten years ago as stenographer-clerk in the Legal Department and is now assistant to the Credit Manager. We offer sincere congratulations. ••Hr Hazel Creek "** Messrs. A. W. Agee and G. M. Caldwell were business visitors at Proctor this month. Mr. J. W. Bryant, mill foreman at Barrett, West Virginia, paid us a few days visit and moved his family from this place March 13 th. Mr. Jack Kirkland returned to Barrett, March 27th, after a short visit in Proctor. Mr. Harley Ballew, one of the Hazel Creek employees has purchased the Dock Jones property and is building a nice six room bungalow. Among the Hazel Creek planing mill employees who motored to Bryson City, North Carolina, March 20th, were Messrs. Roy Swan, John Stephenson, Wallace Swan, and Harley Cable. They reported the highway between Bushnell and Proctor in splendid condition for travelling. On March 21st, the third Sunday in the month, the Sunday School Con- We had so much fun with the old-fashioned baby picture of Miss Gladys Muntz, published in last month's Bark, which so far as we know was guessed correctly by only one person in the office, that we are presenting this month four others, over which you may puzzle your brains. The little boy in the center picture is one of the most prominent men in the Ritter organization and the little girl by his side is now his wife. The other two are members of the Columbus office force. One of them is an old-timer and the other one is almost an old-timer. Now let's see who will be the champion sleuth this month. Ten
