First, I had a whole sea of new faces and names to learn, then I was introduced to a very scary looking machine that I was suppose to operate and now- I am editing my first paper. I appreciate very much the friendly atmosphere that helped me feel at home very quickly and all the patience everyone extended while waiting for typing jobs to be returned. After reading through past editions of the "Chatter" it's apparent you have a paper to be proud of! It's too bad the last few editions were not published. I look forward to helping get it started again. As you can see from the scarcity of items this time, some of you did not believe we were really going to have a paper--many departments I noticed in past editions did not report any news this time. Come on reporters let's all chip in and make the next issue of the "Chatter" the bestest ever (not good English, but you get the point). Nancy Cook ***************************************************************** EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH Employee of the Month honors for August go to Bud Elliot. Bud was recommended for the "outstanding job" he did in helping the Utility Department through the period in which the department was without a Utility Engineer. During this nine-month period it was noted that Bud performed both his own position of Assisant Utility Engineer and that of Utility Engineer in a most professional manner with "drive and enthusiasm". For Bud's capable efforts, he was awarded a $25 Savings Bond and a plaque at the City Council meeting on August 28th.

Bob Perry ***************************************************************** ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT TODAY'S HIGH PRICES: They're lower now than they probably ever will be again. Temper is what gets most of us into trouble. Pride is what keeps us there. ~- ~ ;;;?.!) Carelessness results in accidents ***************************************************************** �PAGE 4 ENERGY CONSERVATION I have been noticing that employees are becoming conscious. Lights are left on in unoccupied areas. less energy The city expends a great deal of money in electrical utilities each year, and I am sure a portion of this cost is waste. I am requesting that each of us take time to ensure all unnecessary 1 ights and appliances are turned off when they are not required. True, Public Service Company advertises a light only takes a few cents to operate; however, multiply this amount by each light we have in the city plus the assorted appliances and it involves a considerable cost to the city. Thank you for your cooperation Devere King ***************************************************************** WANTED: Articles for the next issue of the "Chatter" ***************************************************************** NEW ARRIVAL On August 15, 1978 in the small hours of the morning, Anthony Michael Genry made his entrance into the world. He weighed 6 lbs., 13 1/4 ozs. Needless to say, mama and papa are very proud of their new son. At last sight, Shannon and Anthony were both doing very well healthwise and Terrence was relaxing after his busy night. Congratulations and Best Wishes to all three of you!
