Naugle, 1108 Waggoman, Saturday was welcomed back to his job in the water department just 23 year after he first started working there in 1922.'Always a waterman,' Naugle commented, 'I could never make up my mind whether it would be salt water life, or a job of selling fresh water.'With discharge papers as chief boatswain mate and back at his old job as chief clerk for the department, 44-year-old Naugle now is assured 'it will be the fresh water job from now on.'Entering the Navy at the age of 16, Naugle made a dozen round trips to Europe and served on a minesweeper nearly two years in the North Sea during the first World War. When he was 20, he took a job as a stencil operator in the city water department. Since that time, he served in every capacity in the commercial division of the department.In August 1942, Naugle again volunteered for the Navy, serving in the South Pacific until his discharge last week.Naugle is the first of 10 eimployes of the water department to return to his former job."
