Immediate destination - the"Queen Mary". My daughter Kay and I had beenplanning this trip for months and now the "dayof embarkation" had at last arrived.Since leaving Stamford, I had been alternatelypuffing on a cigarette and checking my travelpapers, at the same time mentally catalogingevery item in our luggage. Yes, I was nervousand suddenly began to feel that I was going along, long way from home and after all •••Then we spotted the red funnels of the QueenMary and everything changed. "There she is waitingfor us", I emoted dramatically and a feverof impatience to get aboard seized us. A bigocean 1iner is an inspi ring sight to me at anytimeand when I looked at th i s sh i p and thoughtthat I was actually going to sail on her I becamereally excited. Never had the Hudson seemedso blue and beautiful as that morninglWe finally arrived at the pier entrance andunloaded our baggage. "Oon 1 t forget the catlady"l one of the porters yelled and I retrievedmy little fur which I had left on the seat ofthe car. We all laughed very heartily at thisand I was wondering how his British counterpartwould have phrased ithad the same thing happeneda t Sou thamp ton.Then, almost before we realized it, we wereaboard and descending to our cabin which was locatedon C deck. About two miles and five minuteslater the dashing naval type with moustache (incidentallythroughout the whole trip I neverfailed to marvel at the variety and luxurianceof moustaches flourishing around me) who hadbeen our guide philosopher and friend throughout,flung open a door and said "This is itlyedees".My first impression was of a big bottle ofchampagne. It seemed to dominate the scene, thenI reluctantly draggedmyeyes away and took stockcontinued on next pageArthur D. Camp, retiredD-O staff member and presentlya member of theDorr Foundation, locateda t Henry Stree t.About a year ago I contributed a sketch of theHenry Street neighborhood I knew as a boy in thenineties to the former Henry Street Highl ights.Since then I have been asked to recall the olddays at the Barry Place area of Stamford. I hadsome familiarity with this part of town as Mrs.Squ ire, g randmothe r of my chum, Bud Gill esp i e,hadabig place near Fairfield Avenue and SelleckStreet.Since that time just before the turn of thecentury, Richmond Hill has been completely transformedfrom an area of spacious estates into acongested collection of industrial plants andsmall homes. At the time of which I speak, theNew Haven Ra i 1 road passed th rough the Hill inSelleck 1 s cut which still today harbors a switchtrack. As amain 1ine in those days hardly a yearpassed without a fatal accident at the blindSelleck Street grade crossing.There was no Innis Ardengolf course then as thesport was a very new one toAmeri ca. Th i s area was mostlyopen meadow land in theadjoining town of SoundBeach, now named Old Greenwich.Tennis on the wellkeptcourts of the Hatchestate was the principalspo rt. The re was a 1 so a so rtof local community bathingbeach down at the end ofCummings Point. This was apopular spot for the youngGolf costume in 1897. fry in the s u mm e r tim e •Bicycles were the main form of transportation Irecallasthe Squire family coachman and carriagecould seldom be commandeered.tontinued on page three

of our cabin. Hotice I say "cabin" and not "room",al ready I was getting the nautical approach andindeed by the time we arrived at Southampton Ifelt quite an old salt-even knew the differencebetween "fore" and "aft" and almost never said"downstairs" for "going below".Wehad been scheduled to share a cabin withtwo other people and had been visualizing twovery old ladies, very prone to seasickness sowere prepared for the worst. Much to our del ighta very presentable young lady detached herselffrom a glass of champagne and introduced herselfas one of ou r cabin mates. Th i s had all the makingsof a good trip. There just remained one unknownquantity. A Miss Dixon who kind fate de ­creed, should remain unknown. There we r e manyfantastic speculations throughout the trip onthe fate of the missing occupant of bunk four.The next few minu tes the scene in the cab i nwas reminisent of a successful cocktail party.Many people, much laughter and nowhere to sit.Then into the happy throng came a flustered lookingintruder bea rin g a white florist's box. Inthe tones of one liter: l 1y a t the end of histether he gasped, "Anyone nere named Catherine"?"Yes", I rather cautiously answered, "My name isCatherine, but I don't think I'm the Catherineyou want". "Your name's Catherine lady, - thisis from your boy friend", thrusting the box intomy hands and beating a quick retreat.Si lence descended as I opened up the box andtook outabeautiful white orchid. "Well it wouldbe a shame not to wear it, although some poorCatherine is probably going through torment nowwondering if it really had been all worthwhile."Everybody chimed in with a sensible "of course"as I pinned the flower on.The harassed del iverer of white orchids wasback - "I've found her." For one horrible unethicalmoment I was determined not to hand overmy orchid to this man but how could I carryaround the knowledge thatabeautiful love affairhad probabl y been smashed by me. So wi th a ratherforced smile I handed him my orchid and restoredmy good name in the eyes of the family. "Allvisitors ashore", some tears, last minute instructionsand goodbyes. Marilyn, Kay and I wereleft in undisputed possession of a lot of dirtyc ham p a g neg 1ass esan d some un den i a b 1 y em p t ybottles.At this time our stewardess introduced herselfto us in a charming Scottish burr and whenI was unmannerly enough to mention possible seasickness,lookedmestraight in the eye and withouta blush told me that nobody under her carehad ever been seasick going this way - the otherway yes, perhaps a little something or other toPAGE 2do with the waves and the swell. Heedless to sayI swallowed this apalling falsehood hook lineand sinker and it acted 1ike a hypnotic suggestion throughout the voyage. Whenever I fel t avague uneasiness I would say to myself "but ourstew?rd said nobody ever became sick goingthis and U,a t , in conjunction with a pill,worked wo nders. I even quoted her whenever the::, 'J bj ect came under discussion, which itdid quite" requentl y.I w,u l d like to be able to say that I thenwpnt on deck and sentimentally watched the Hewrk skyline and the Statue of Liberty fade from'l ew but the truth of the matter is that we werethe smoking lounge attending to our seating-rrl1 ngements at meals. Then there were certaindeta i ls about deck chairs and visittothe Purserwhich apparently all seasoned travellers tookcare of fi rst thing (we'd been told) so when wefinally got up on deck, water, water everywhere.Catherine and Kay aboard ship,After looking at the water from prom deck,upper prom deck and main deck, we decided to gobelow and have lunch. We had been given a grouptable and met a man from St. Louis, a Scottishexpatriate from Pittsburgh, a lady from St. Louis(coincidence) and a Shakespearean enthusiast fromRhode Island. The man from st. Louis soon emergedas the natural leader of the group and thechampion eater. In no time at all he was informingus that the only pure unlocalized accent inAmerica was peculiar to St. Louis and as fatehad sent him an ally in the form of the ladyfrom st. Louis who were we to contradict him?We knew then thatwehad some very interestingdiscussions in store and as some kind friend hadprovided him wi th a bottle of champagne for thetable every night we determined not to lose him.

How we had to get down to serious businessand unpack. Below once more, our stewardess informedus that lifeboat drill would be at 3:30.If we were going up on deck why didn't wetakeou r life preservers wi th us and save another tri Ddown. This made sense, so we obediently took thebul ky orange bundl es and proceeded up the stai rs.Soon we began to feel a 1ittle uncomfortable andconspicuous. We were the only souls carrying thewretched th ings. The feel ing was intensi fied whensome humorist yelled out, "the ship's not sinkingyet gi rls." However, we knew that there wasgoing to be a lifeboat drill in half an hour.Let them laugh, we didn't have to go back downto our cabins. However nothing would have per~suaded us to wear the gross looking contraptionsuntil the appointed hour.The drill proceeded smoothly and I enjoyedthe well-modulated Engl ish voice giving us ourinstructions over the P.A. system. Reminded meratherof the calm reassuring tones of the B. B.C.announcers during the war. Panic would be utterlyimpossible with this voice in charge.What now, wewondered happi Iy after the drill,and then of course when I glanced at the clock,I knew! Time for tea! English tea and pastriescomplete with string quartet brought back Englandto my mind very vividly and for awhile I justsat there r.el iving old memories and lookingahead with pleasure to renewal of family ties.Teatime in England is a ritual of course and theEng lish them s e I v e s I aug hat the irsI a vishadherenceto it but it is a very pleasant customand one we enj oyed very much th roughou t the tr i p.Wethen found it was time to prettify ourselvesfor the evenings festivities. It was ahappy little trio assembled in C 232 that evenino,Everything lay ahead of us and our firstday had been exciting and entirely up to expectation.It had all finally happened, we wereactually onour way to England.The gently chug of the engines was a friendly~ound - this great ship had welcomed us, We feltsheltered and secure and gaily speculated onwhat lay aheadofus and how well things had goneso far.For once advertizing had not exaggerated. Itwas indeed "half the fun getting there,·RICHMO~DHILL continued*Gillespie family in 1897 - Bud , Alice and Stewart.Tea time aboard the Queen ~ary.We did a little exploring then, inspected theswimming pool and gym, found out that there wereno mermaids in the Mermaid Room and no roses inthe Rose Room but found that these two placeshad their compensations. I could hardly wait forthe evening to find out if there were any snakesin the "Snakepit" which, we had been informed,was another popular rendevous.Most of Cummings Point is now Ipart of theWasserman estate and is one of the few unchangedDarts of this district. One of the prese~t occupantsof the Point operates quite a large truckgarden whe re farm-fresh vegetab 1es, an d sometimesfruits, can be purchased by anyone whodrives through the gate branching from the ShoreRoad on the way to Sound Beach. Less than ami 1efrom our Barry Place office, the truck gardencould be patronized by D-O staff quite easily tothei r advantage. By way of di rection, watch forthe sign - "Cummings Point Farm" at the leftwhere the Shore Road makes a sharp right handtu rn.Probably a good many of our staff who came upfrom the ~ew York offi ces in 19~9 wi II recall thevery old and dilapidated mansard-roofed housewhich stood on Fairfield Avenue until just afew years ago. To my recollection it was the oldHatch homestead and until torn down was the lastof the original residences on beautiful RichmondHill in the nineties.PAGE 3

"WHY WORK IN NORTH AMERICA?Go west Young Man! This expression, originatedin 1851 by John 8. L. Soule, meant of course,our own great western territories of that period.Pointing ambition toward opportunity even today,it is being whispered by U.S. industrial firmsto British and European engineers.The reasons for this admonition in this ageare brought forth in an article in the June issueof the British journal, MANUFACTURING CHEMIST."Why Work in North America?" was written withauthority by Christopher J. Pratt ("Ceejay" to0-0 Tell readers), a member of our ConsultingEngineering Department and former British managementconsul tantoThis article presents somejudicious and wellbalancedanswers. And, among theobservationsChris makes is the fact that governments such asGreat Britain and West Germany have placed norestraint on migrations even though al ive to theinducements being offered to thei r young men. Hecalls the reader's attention to British universitiesand technical colleges which have becomerecruiting stations for U.S. and Canadian industryseeking men with technical training.lhis realization has been borne out recentlyby the latest budget of the British governmentwhich reduces the high level of taxation formiddle income groups. Although this move arousedthe hostility of labor factions, justificationfor one of its official reasons comes from thehope that eased taxes would be an inducement forscientists and engineers to stay in thei r owncountry. The exodus of trained personnel fromBritain is encouraged in this country by theWalter-McCarran Act which permits a relativelylarge quota of British immigration.ON EARL Y RISINGTo CeeJay:After reading your article in the July issue ofD-O Tell in connection with the July and Augustoffice hours, I cannot resist the urge to replyand express my thoughts on the subj ect.I as sume that you wrote with "your tongue inyour cheek" but were also expressing your personalopinions and those of many other CeeJays,based upon experience in your home life. I alsoassume that you, like all of us, have often hadoccasion to look back into the history of ourcountry with a feeling of pride in those whofounded and made it possible at places like Concord,Lexington and Valley Forge and later on theplains in covered wagons. Did they c ry abou thaving to arise a hit early?PAGE 4Now look at ourselves in comparison. Have wereally become so soft that to get up one smallhour earlier for five days a week for 2 months,or a total of 44 days, can be such a hardshipand can so greatly disrupt our way of livingthat we can no longer arrive at the office witha smile or a friendly greeting? Does that cozybreakfast tete-a-tete with the wife really onlymean so little that it can be so quickly eliminated.Does the wife think so little of you thatas a result you now must eat your breakfastfacing an empty chair.Apparently you arc no longer the head of yourfamily and can only struggle to adjust your wayof living to coincide with the different andvaried requirements of each individual member.Granted that the man no longer is the head ofthe family in the way he might have been 100years ago but after all you sti ll, I assume, havesome say about what goes on. Stand up and assertyourself, within reason of course. But how canyou do this if you, yourself, are so ready tocry out lOlld he cause you ha ve to start your dayone hour earlier. You yourself admit that youare controlled by "a wave of the hand".Who thought of this idea? I do not know but"hats off" to whoever it was, for we can now getstarted in the cool hours of the morning whilethe air is still clean and fresh. And then whenwe begin to slow down about 3:30 P.M. we can lookforward with pleasure to being through at 4:00P.M. I am all for it and- if given the chancewould gladly do it all year 'round instead ofon ly dur-ing Ju ly and Augus t.All For ItVolume I, Number 8AUGUST 1957an internal monthly publiration by and for theSTAMFORD, WESTPORT, NEW YORK and WILKES-BARREstaff of OORR-OLIVER INCORPORATEDEDITOR Jo seph lies, Company Relations Dept.

BABE RUTH lEAGUEOur Babe Ruth League team dropped thel r fl rsttwo starts In the second half of play by closemargins of 10 to 9 behind the Barbers Local and11-10 to the Springdale A.C. In their third gamethe D-O club was Involved In an unusual contestwith Slim's Service Station nine. Going Into thefourth Inning we trailed 6 O but calling forth aMbig display of power, managed to push I~ menacross the plate In the fifth and sixth Inningsagainst five successive pitchers for Slim'sService Station. The changing of pi tchers accountedfor long time lags and the game was calledbecause of darkness while the D-O boys led, I~t06. The game will be played later In the season.The D~O team Coach, Lou Stabile of SanitaryTechnical Dlvl sion, was named to the Grievanceand Protest Committee at a recent meeting of thecl ty' s two"'year-o 1 d Nationa 1 D I vi sion. Natlonall y,Babe Ruth Baseball for boys 13 to 15 years oldIs divided into an American and a National Divisionwi th larger ci ties supporting both divl slonswith four to six teams each. Smaller communitieshave only one of the two divisions. AlthoughStamford has had an American Division for manyyears, last season was the fl rst for the Nationalclubs, including Dorr-Oliver - winners of {heleague championship in 1956.WOMEN'S INTEROFFICE GOLFIn the full swing of the season, Betty Mountainof our Henry Street staff carded a fine ninehole score of 57 last month against Doris Colby.Doris' 82 was also commendable In this league.In two other matches, Clara Gllbody defeated KaySchlott and Marion Fuchella with 68 and 69.Peggy Mathison and Alice Paterson played avery close match recently. Peggy recorded a 93and her opponent, 90. They took three holes apiece and tied the last three.Muriel Bachman droppedamatch to Doris Colby,5 holes to 2. Doris carded a 73 while Murielcarded 83. Improvement is the watchword In thisleague and wi th quite a few matches remaining Inthe first season's schedu 1 e sco res are su re todrop even lower for our avid female golfers.INTEROFFICE SOFTBAllJuly 16th - In the seventh game of the secondhalf of the 1957 season, Industrial Engineeringconquered Sanitary Engineering by a score of7-2. Pitching for Industrial, John Cherba gaveup six hits for the full game while Gene Zanelliand Glen Ekstrom managed three hits for fourat-bats. Glen's homer In the first Inning gaveIndustrial a 2 run lead.July 18th - Financial Sales, 12 - Procurement,8. Winning pitcher - Joe Sheehan. A very determinedProcurement team looked good for six innings.In the top of the seventh however, FinancialSales pushed three runs across the plate tosew up the contest. Tightening up with the opposition,Joe Sheehan allowed only three hits inthe last four frames. At the plate for FinancialSales, Howie Vecsey belted two singles, twodoubles and a home run in a big 5 for 5 night.July 23rd - Plant Design, 25 - Sanitary, 9.Winning pitcher - Tony Zvonkowich. Overcome by ablasting battery In the sixth inning, Sanitaryplayers behind Mel Mahan on the mound gave up I Iruns. Agresslve and fast, Plant Design's newleague entry stands a good chance to take thesecond half.July 25th - Industrial, II - Financial Sales,7. Gene Zane III ove r Joe Sheehan. These two teamshabitually turn out fine ball games and this onewas no exception. John Cherba, starting for Industrial,was tagged with five hits for fourruns In the fifth inning. Of these, Don Nigropounded out two round trip tickets and EdPiorkowski collected a thl rd for Financial Sales.Going Into the seventh inning Financial Salesenjoyed a one run advantage. Itwas shortl i vedhowever as Industrial's Don Hill connected for atremendous blast to center field to tie up thegame at 7-7. Incidentally, this was Don's fi rstgame this season.In the last of the seventh, Financial Saleswere unable to bring in the winning run throughthe efforts of Industrial's fine team and PatFigliola, in particular, whose fielding game cutshort Financial Saies' bid for the win. Poundingout ~ run sin the on e tim e inn I n gin d u s t r I a Iwenton to win behind Gene Zanell i who fanned thelast two batters to face him.PAGE 8

INTEROFFICE GOLFWith the exception of a few gol fers who were alittle slow getting started with their matches,most of the men are about hal f way th rough thel rschedules. Fran Pataky, still playing consistentlygood golf, has a firm hold on first place inthe "A" flight with three matches remaining onhis schedule. Vin Dileo scored a big upset overFran last month when he won all thr~e points ofa match. He is a definite contender for "A"flight honors.Wayne Wi isanen dropped 1/2 point in two matchesthis year and has five remaining to be played.Ed Pataky carded low gross score last month witha 76. Yours truly was second in this departmentwithan83. When Ed plays brother Fran later thissummer, some great gol f wi 11 be seen. These boysare the longest ball hitters around.In the "B" fl ight Sterl ing Brisbin and FrankPaternostro have a slight edge on the field. AlKwaitkowski and stan Barwikowski boast two bi rdseach. The standings i.n the "c" fl ight have notchanged much since last month. Joe Snyder boastsa 'O~ to I~ record for a total of four matches.Hal Monsor, a late starter, has lost 1/2 pointIn one match played. With qt points in twomatches, Gene Zanelli shows good promise.INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE GOLFThe three teams representing the company in theIndustrial Golf league are giving a good accountfor themselves this year. The Fran Pataky and"Sl ice" Ballo duo took second place in the closelycompetitive rIC" fl ight with a record of 19 and 8points. In three years competition as a "CO team,Fran and I finished in second place twice.In our last three matches we won 8t pointsout of a possible 9. In one of the most Importantmatches, Fran canned four birdies to win thematch without much help from old "Slice". And,!n the last and toughest match of the year hedropped a i5 foot putt for an eagle 3 on the parfive, 17th hole to win.Dileo and costantino have played thei r finalmatch, posting a record of 19~ won, 7t lost.Other teams In this fl i ght have not compl etedtheir matches and final standings have not yetbeen establ i shed. Vi n Di leo carded the best roundof the year thus far for 0-0 golfers when hefired an eight over par 79. This marks the firsttime any 0-0 Industrial league golfer has broken80 since Ed Pataky was with us in the league fiveyears ago. Tony Costantino has second low scorethis year with an 81.The team of Attridge and Ivanuskas finishedout 0 f the ru n n I n g t his yea r Inth e "E" f 1 I g h t.They had moved up from the "G" flight this springto stronger competition and will need anotherseason to reach the top again.INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE SOFTBALLIn a loosely played but exciting game, the 0-0team lost the B League playoff game to the powerfulSorenson fl rst half champs - 12-10. The topof the first Inning gave indication of things tocome as Sorenson scored 3 runs. We later cameback with scoring runs .of our own and enteredthe seventh inn Ing tl ed wi th the opponents, 6-6.Pitching good ball In the early innings, GeneZanelll gave up six runs on four hits beforesettling down to reti re the side.At last bat, the 0-0 lineup faced sure deathor a tremendous rally and they chose the latter.Blasting any and all pitches, they pushed fourruns over to come wi thin two runs of a tie beforethe rally fell shortandthe thirdoutwas called.George Trenzio registered two hits and twowalks in four trips to the plate. Although theylost the play-off game, the 0-0 nine deserve ourpraise for fine sportsmanship, eager participationthroughout the season and a fine showingamong the bal I clubs fielded by other Stamfordindustries.• • • Bi Ll BalloJust two days after winning the Woman's Hole-inoneContest at the picnic, Kay Schlott againproved her deadly accuracy by picking off astarling with her drive from Hubbard Heights 9thtee.

The answer came 1 Ike lightning flash, "Yesterday, your PRS was born!"

'Twas fathered by a settling tank that met An Oliver FI1t~r at the Mill. It's food was slurry of zirconium, A nasty broth forsooth, But full of a toms and the 11 ke, A lusty PRS to brood! In human style, It nine months lay, Con ten ted Inits 1air, Then II fe ran th rough Its v I gorous sou 1, 1 t craved to breathe the a I r. The wheel s did stl r, the pistons wh I r, It even had a voice, The "sneeze" of automation valves Disturbed the silence of the night. And so, on yester eve, This Frankenstein was born, and, Lo!, There triplets were, lab size, semi-works and 1 arge!
