IECHANICAL DEPT. HONORS'HREE RETIRING VETERANS

At a dinner party in the Nickel Range hotelJune 2, three more veterans of INCO ser.

r received the handsome gold watches whichSocial and Pension Club of the Copper Cliff

chanical department presents to its memberstheir retirement from the Company.

Honored at the gathering were August Mar.lini, who had 24 years' accredited service asbricklayer; Robert Bryson, lst class power.use engineer, who had 26 years to his credit;d Charles Heale, craneman in the Orfordpartment, who had almost 34 years. John

Garrow, master mechanic of 5melters,

Wm. Beaver, chief engineer at the sub.sta.tiOn, made the presentation to Bob Bryson;3 .ck Clark, converter building mechanical fore.man, presented the gift to Charlie Heale, andEarl Grey, bricklayer foreman, made the pre.Srlitation to August Marcolini. All recipientsreplied briefly, expressing their appreciationahd the satisfaction they had felt in working

a company like International Nickel.Vice.President R. L. Beattie also briefly ad.

dressed the gathering, congratulating the threeVeterans on their many years of valuable service,and extending best wishes for their happiness.

- He expressed his personal pride in the Com.pony's Retirement System and the securitywith which it rewards veteran employees aftertleir years of faithful effort.

In the accompanying photograph are: left toght, front row, August Marcolini, Robert

Bryson, Charles Heale, and Vice.President• Beattie; back row, Earl Grey. Wm, Beaver, Jack• Clark, and Master Mechanic J. W. Garrow.

Another Mechanical DeDartment activitywhich is worthy of mention is the bi.weekly4raw conducted to boost the sale of WarSavings Certificates. Since its inception thispatriotic promotion stunt has realized WarSavings sales totalling $24,710.00, all of whichhas been given away as draw prizes. Thekitty" in some of the draws has been more

than $500.00. This co-operative effort deservesall the support it can get.

There is a pathetic capacity in men to livenobly, if only they would give one another the]chance. .-George Santayana

Orford FinallyDrops a Decision

When the Orford team dropped a 2-i deci-sion to Vaticans in a regular CopDer CliffSoftball League fixture last month, it was theirfirst defeat in more than two season3 of play.In both 1933 and 1934 the Orfordites waltzedthrough to th loop championship behind the.mart pitching of their mound 5tar, LaurieBoulet, without a single loss, Boulet was doingthe twirling when Vaticans finally turned thetrick.

A couple of nights later Engineers, who areat present sharing the league leadership withOrford, defeated Vaticans 3.2 in ii innings.This is the kind of nip-and-tuck competitionthat softball fans are seeing in the Cliff thiss.aon. Veteran softball sideliners like BertFlynn and Norm Kearns say it's the best leaguethey've watched in years.

Behind Engineers and Orford irt the loopstanding as Triangle goes to press are Vati-cans, maanged by Popeye Didone; Concen-trator, managed by Scrappy Bendick, Research,led by Wib Job; Combines, under GeorgeAllen; Electrons, managed by Dave Aubin;Vesa Club, managed by Walter Wilson. Skip.pers of Engineers and Orford are Wiff Cravenand Red Maltby.

League officials are: president, Bob Rodgers,Concentrator; vice-president, Maurice Kinkley,Orford Dept.; secretary-treasurer, Tony De.marco, Meter Dept.; official scorer, Lud Ryski,Converter Building; Umpire-in-chief, Don Fin-Lyson, Engineering Dept.
