Marvin Hittle, Personnel, Iradnated from Northwestern Lnivervily on June 15th. Marv n the ton of Lawrence Hittle of Azo Dye. Some time ago we were having trou ble with our paint strainers in the plant. It seems that there was a ten dency for the skins and other matter that did not Biter through the screens to end up in the paint. The old meth od involved a rotary drum screen with a stationary scraper on the outside. Because the sateen drum had to rotate, there occurred an opening where it pivoted and there was a tendency for the skins and other foreign matter to pass through into the filling mecha nism. Therefore, a problem arose as to how to maintain the quality of the paint. It seemed that a new type of strainer had to be developed. Mike Chairo, a foreman in paint, had an idea on how a better strainer t on Id be built. He needed expert ad vice on how to do it, however, so he went to Joe Kukolich, the Machinist's welding foreman of Mechanical Dept, and together they developed the new strainer which is currently in opera tion. Since the bypass of foreign matter was centered around where the screen drum rotated. Mike and Joe figured that the only way to solve this situa tion was to make the screen drum sta tionary and to use a rotating scraper. It was found however, that one scraper would not balance and that two scrap ers raised the same problem. Finally three scrapers were used and the major problem ironed out. The per son primarily responsible for testing the new equipment was Perry Wurtman who told Mike and Joe how it stood up in use. The strainer is still being developed but already it has aided the paint filling process immeas urably.

The season is over, but the final night of bawling had its anxious moments for the eventual winners. Before proceedings, three teams had a chance for the title. Lin-X needed one game for championship. Taxite and Galvite each required three games coupled with two losses for Lin-X and the crown would be theirs. The entire league rolled their first games with eyes focused on these three teams. Results came in, Lin-X lost their first game. Taxite was happy, they won their first game. It was all over for Galvite, they lost their initial game. Second games were being rolled. What Taxite hoped, happened. Lin-X lost their second game. Gloom set over Lin-X. Soon it was turned to joy. Word was received that Taxite lost their second game. Lin-X, A-La Brook lyn Dodgers--1952, backed into a title. Individually the final night was a confirmation of what many knew be fore. Thanks to a brilliant 656 series the week prior, Bruce Gilley retained his individual crown with an average of 177. Charlie Petraus ended the sea son second with an average of 175. Ernie Dalle Molle was dose by with 174, followed by Art Heil with 173. The annual post season banquet was held May 23rd at Eagles' Hall. At the banquet Harold Moe received a plaque from the American Bowling Congress for the most improved aver age, 141 over 132, the previous year. SOFTBALL Don't repeat this, but here is the lowdown on the teams vying for the championship. Anyway this is how it looks from this reporter's vantage point. C.P., RirS, Tin Can, that all-star combination from these departments. Rate strictly class, are favorites to cop. Cheeks Pctraus, runner-up; and Lacquer, always tough, with a smart pitcher, plenty enthusiasm, can cause considerable trouble and take it all. Paint, the perennial champ, is con tent to wait for showdown in tourna ment, when it is at its best. Mechanical, last year's champs, play ing good but not championship ball. Abiding time for all our effort in the tournament. Mechanical Rebels, castoffs from highly touted Mechanical team, sur prising everybody. Beat many top teams, but courage alone wins few titles. Ernie Dalle Molle, 3rd place. Laboratories, usually bolstered with summer help, not so' fortunate this year. Good game here and there, but not championship caliber. Varnish, a team that plays for fun. Never seriously considered, but lately beat the Mechanical team and tied C.P., R 8c S, and Tin Can. How will they end up? Your report er's picks are in oTder named above. Can you do better? Submit your pick to the Palette & Brush by August 1st. Closest pick to final standings will be published.

Now that the 1953 season has ended, with 1 might add a little disappoint ment of not having that Wednesday night of fun and competition, every one was quite satisfied with the results. Opal Mercier took the League's first place with her final average of 152.76 and Lucille Dickinson, 2nd place with an average of 150.76. Hats off to Dolly Bednarczyk for holding 3rd position throughout most of the season, with a final average of 139.31. There was much celebration going on that last Wednesday night. The League added two new members to the great "200" Club, with Opal Mer cier a sole member before with her 200 game. The new additions are Lu cille Dickinson with a 205 game and Jean Slater with a 206 game. The International Bowling Con gress presented Jean Slater with a medal for bowling the highest scratch game of 206. Congratulations Jean! Team No. 1, Turquoise, is also to be congratulated for holding 1st place for most of the season and until the end with only 2 games ahead of 2nd place team, No. 6 Peach.
