    3. NEW OAKLAND PLANT CLUBROOM DEDICATED A very delightful evening of entertainment was given at 3010 Adeline Street, Oakland, under the auspices of the combined Oakland plant associations' house committee, on the evening of October 8, (1926), celebrating the completion of a beautiful new clubroom. Victor Burns of the Oakland district association of cable splicers acted as chairman of the evening, introducing A. O. Lewis, chairman of the house committee, a member of the line and station installers' association of the Oakland district, who, in a very pleasing address, voiced, on behalf of the Oakland associations, their hearty appreciation for the company's assistance in making it possible for the Oakland associations to realize their plans for the clubroom. he also expressed the appreciation of the house committee for the splendid cooperation had from all the association members. Chairman Lewis's talk was followed by music by George Stahl's "Merry Makers." Later H. O. Hammerich, division chief clerk, representing Division Superintendent of Plant H. McBirney, responded in a very appropriate manner, and, at the request of the chairman, introduced the various division and district supervisors present. He concluded his talk by presenting D. J. Lundy, superintendent of maintenance, Oakland, with a twenty-year service emblem. R.G. Morgan of the building maintenance forces, a member of George Stahl's "Merry Makers," dressed in Oriental style, presented a comic monologue in which he represented "Hop Sing," just over from China. He brought shouts of laughter from those present. He is an expert at playing a one-string Chinese fiddle. This number was followed by a comic interpretation of a German gentleman by D. Brock of the equipment installer's association. F.O. Edmunds, superintendent of construction, was introduced and presented service emblems to the following members of his force: R. Glubetich, foreman, 25 years; E. Daughtrey, inspector, 20 years; Jack Lundin, foreman, 15 years. H. O. Hammerich, division chief clerk, was invited to make the first shot on the new pool-table, after which refreshments were served and a very enjoyable evening closed.
