A theater party and banquet was recently given by the employees of the traffic department, Corvallis, Ore. The setting was in the banquet-room of the Golden Pheasant Confectionery. Seattle long-distance office boasts of three recent brides. Miss Anna tulle became Mrs. Grover Phillips; Miss Anna Kline became the bride of J.A. McDonnell, and Miss Clara Luark is now the bride of Doctor Watson. On October 3 Miss Emma Pearl, Seattle long-distance supervisor, was honored by a surprise party at her home, the occasion being her birthday. From all reports it was a howling success and Emma says it is her last. Spokane's long-distance office is sorry to report the loss of Mrs. Nellie Cahoon, who is leaving to make her home in the East. As an expression of their regard the girls gave her an electric toaster for a farewell gift. One of the outstanding events of the month is the farewell party given by Florence Johnson in honor of Vivian Witt of the long-distance office, Spokane, who is being transferred to the long-distance office at Portland. Roseburg was sorry to lose, by resignation, two popular operators. Miss Florence Snedaker resigned to take a position as a teacher at the Rose School, and Miss Floy Strader has left to attend the Normal School at Monmouth. Miss Emma Peterson, our Seattle long-distance supervisor, returned from a two months' leave. Emma returned feeling much better. Why not? Cupid visited her and left her a beautiful diamond. Congratulations, Emma. Mrs. Alma Langham of the Portland toll office has returned from a vacation spent in British Columbia, and Misses Dora Gillis, Genevieve Bradley, and Mrs. Eva Boddy have also returned from their vacations spent in California. Miss Martha Zahl, toll operator of our Yakima exchange, recently returned from a six weeks' furlough. She had a wonderful trip through the Yellowstone Park, the Northern states, and Canada. We are glad to have you back, Martha. The following recently resigned to take up home duties: Mrs. Lavina Theberge, evening chief operator, Walnut office, and Mrs. Nella Guyer, chief operator at Sunset office, Portland. Miss Anna Larson of Tabor office is succeeding Mrs. Guyer. James E. Parrott, engineer of our Washington Division commercial department, has been transferred to the general commercial supervisor's office, Seattle. George B. Noble has been added as an engineer in the Washington Division commercial force. Miss Myrta E. Otterdale, manager of the Ashland exchange, spent a very enjoyable vacation in Minneapolis and Wisconsin. Mrs. Hattie Burnett of Ashland has also returned from a pleasant vacation spent in Sacramento and San Francisco. Not long ago Leo Benson, salesman in the Seattle business office, met us one morning with a radiant smile and a box of cigars. The reason for all this, we soon learned, was a bouncing eight and one-half pound baby boy, Robert Leo. Endeavoring to do their bit toward the sale of extensions, the Centralia force has been divided into two groups to solicit extensions. The losing group is to entertain the winning group with a party and feed. Much luck to the winners. Mrs. Lamar Wise, who was formerly Miss Nina Moore of the Tacoma commercial department, and who has been away for several years, has been visiting friends in the Tacoma office recently. She was accompanied by her young son and daughter. On October 4, Miss Leona Oakes of the commercial department at Walla Walla became the bride of Delbert Hass of Spokane at a pretty home wedding. They will make their future home in Spokane and we extend our best wishes to them. Miss Bertha Schneider of our district traffic superintendent's office, Portland, spent a very enjoyable three weeks visiting the principal points of interest in California. She says that California is very fine, but there is nothing like Oregon for scenery. Broadway office employees of Portland have been having a merry round of showers. Among those honored were the Misses Ruth and Gladys Huffman, who were married at a double wedding, and Miss Dorothy Halliday, who is now Mrs. Norby. Miss Pearl Bjelland, supervisor at Main office, Tacoma, has been transferred to Oakland, Cal., where she will make her home with her parents. The girls at Main office honored Miss Bjelland with a farewell party and presented her with a lovely gift. Miss Josephine Steve of Tacoma long-distance became the bride of Frank Warter at a beautiful church wedding recently. Miss Georgea Songer, also of long-distance, acted as bridesmaid. We extend our heartiest congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Warter. Miss Goldie Snyder of our Kenwood office, Seattle, has returned from a recent trip to California. After visiting the Chinatown office in San Francisco, Miss Snyder doesn't think that Seattle was the first place on the Pacific Coast to have restricted repetition. Our Glenwood office at Spokane has three recent brides: Elina Johnson is now Mrs. Wilford Waddell; Ella Lourjaz is Mrs. Ephriam Norton, and Marie Waddell is Mrs. Carl Kuesterman. The girls of the office gave a little party and presented each of the brides with a gift. (Transcriber note: What does it mean "restricted repetition"? Does anyone know?)
