We wonder whether June or July is the month for romance, after seeing what's going on between the RR Transportation Office Section and the Yard Office.
Margaret Sheehan spent the weekend in Rapid City with Geraldine Hunter.
News is scarce this time, as duty called most of the section to work Sunday, thus all fishing and other recreation had to be omitted, but there are more weekends coming.

The first of a series of new buses as replacement for some of the older vehicles on the depot was delivered Tuesday of last week by Mr. Simpson of Maintenance, who had gone to Omaha to drive the new conveyance back to Black Hills Ordnance Depot.
The bus is one of the largest GMC creations for the Army. It is propelled by a rear mounted GNC power unit. Conventional OD color is used throughout, the upholstering being simulated leather in green. Seating is provided for 37 passengers.
A spacious luggage compartment is located in the rear over the engine. The engine is accessible from the rear or from the inside for maintenance purposes. Luggage racks are located along each side overhead, but these will likely be removed as unnecessary to the intended use on the depot.
Opening and closing of the front door is accomplished by push-button controlled pneumatic power. An emergency door for safety is provided on the left side near the rear of the vehicle.
Air brakes provide safe, efficient stopping and all glass is of safety type. The wide windshield affords unlimited visibility and windows are so mounted as to provide emergency exits in case of accident.
Mr. Bohart, Chief of Maintenance, states that eventually BHOD will have other such buses which will assure employees of utmost comfort and safety in transportation to and from the respective places of employment.
Two additional buses arrived by rail freight last Saturday. With these to augment buses being presently used, our motor transportation problems on the depot should be fairly well solved.
Mrs. Ila Jones employed as clerk typist in Transportation Branch from 1949 to at least 1957.

In the midst of moving, who has time to "make news"? Moreover, in the confusion of the staff being moved from Building 2003 to 2012 to 2004, we can't find paper, pencil, typewriter or even the typist! ( The latter we are making an effort to locate.) Will try to do better next week when we hope to be "all settled."
