There may be some parched throats at the U. S. Gasket Co., 602 North Tenth street, tonight unless someone remembers to replenish the change drawer.

A thief early today stole $2 in nickels, used by workers on the night shift for the soft drink machine. Mrs. Claire Holder, secretary to Calvin Meconnahey, office manager, discovered the theft when she reported for work this morning.
