Buffalo, N. Y.-The holidays are

Orders at the plant are fairly good
and everyone of US is hoping they

We held election of officers and
President Kenneth Winters was Sc
elected to lead us again. Kenneth did
mighty fine job the last six months
and each and every member thanks
him. Bert Clark has served us very
well in the vice presidents chair, so
we thought that the place to keep him
for the next six months. Brother
Harold Benzel won out for the job of
recording secretary. Harold is one of
the faithful attenders and we know he
will be a good man for this job. Our
old faithful, Spencer Piall was retain
ed as financial secretary; Sol Heintz
will still be seeing you on Thursday

elected inspector and Fred Schragg
got the door post.
Considering the weather here in
Buffalo, our meetings are very we'll

Local 96 Officers

Present

Perth Amboy, N. First Vice
President E. L. Wheatley installed
newly elected officers of Local Union
No. 96 at their regular meeting Janu-
ary 13. Due to blizzard which was in
full swing that night, retiring Presi-
dent Chris Jensen was unable to be
there. Chris as you know, lives on a
farm about 25 miles from Perth Am
boy.
! Brother Whestley had previously
stated in letter to our secretary that
it might be possible to have President
Duffy along with him, but we must
agree, President Duffy was called on
more important business. Wheatley
was accompanied by the newly ap-
pointed Fourth Vice President Charles
Zimmers and James Solon who is now
in the organizing field. We appreciate
their attending the meeting. Of course
we all know that the only thing that
would stop Ed from attending is what
he always terms as "Heus Fire" or
Flood,
Fourth Vice President Charles Zim-
mers gave a good account of himself
and we are sure that the Executive
Board selected man who is willing
to try and iron out the other mans
troubles. Of course, Brother James
Solon with his wit and good common
sense, together with a little technical
sense made good impression with the
boys. Very little was left for the boys
to say after Wheatley finished, as he
covered most of the union matters in
his talk. We wish to thank all three
for attending the meeting.
President julius Sabo made a fine
speech on what he proposed to try and
do during his term of office. Among
some of the things he suggested was
for our members to endeavor to learn
more about the union and what bene-
fits it offers. He is a conscientious
fellow with lot of good ideas. 1t is
his belief that if we would have good
speaker at least once month it would

sad to report that the hammer closed

pended the following: Harry McCart-

to have to use drastic measures on
these members, but the time has come
when laxness must be overcome.
These four are only few of the ones
who will be treated thus if they don't
