Charlie Black Proves 1t Isn't
"Cussing" That Makes a
Man Popular

There are not many of us like Charlie
Black This man Is a quarterman driller
at the Cramp shipyard. He is usually
referred to in the yard as "Blackie. the
strong man." and you would naturally
expect to meet Sardow or one of his
pupils.
Charlie does not measure up to that
In real physical strength and you wonder
how he ever got the name. He never
sought such distinction. In fact. his
ambition is and always has been simply
to be "Blackie," a God-fearing man
among real men and good sport
withal. The crowds verdict is that he
has made good.

1t was his first job. He had been
brought up in Sunday school and he
stuck to it and still lives up to its rules
He leaves his Bible at home for the
Children to read and goes to the ship
yard TO live the life that pleases him
and helps others.
Sunday he has Bible class Monday
noon he may be secondng some fighter
in the boxing exhibitions in the yard.
Tuesday noon may find him working out
plans for some big sporting event for
the shipworkers or arranging n theatre
party or some other pastime for them.
Although he finds genuine pleasure in
mingling with the men at work and at
play, he does not use "cuss" words.
When he hears them swearing he Is ap-
parently deaf to 1t. When he takes
leave of the boys on Saturday he goes
back to his Bible and prepares for the
morrow's lesson.
Charlie was one of the seconds in last
Tuesdays boxing exhibition in the ship
yard. He looked the part In almost
every respect. He was first in the ring
at the end of each round to get the
towel working. and the fans had great
deal of fun with him during the three
rounds. Naturally. he is very popular
and everybody in the plant will swear
by him. In fact, they all say that not
even a sporting event there would be
complete without Charlie. the strong

crowd and probably that explains the
