APPEAL FOR POOR CHILDREN

The poor children of Key West viii be
the first sufferers of the war if the Lions
Christmas Benefit fails.
Never before, not even during the dark
days of the depression, has the response to
the Yuletide fund of the Lions Club been
so apathetic Is it is this year.
Unless there IS an immediate response
Of contributions. the worthy effort Of this
service organization viii fall far short Of
expected results.
We refuse to believe that the people of
this city have become callous because of
the war. We prefer to believe that they
are as generous as ever.
We must not be unkind because our
enemies are unkind We must not let the
war subvert our passion for mercy or drive
compassion from our hearts.
People should contribute more gen.
erously than ever. The needy children
should be made to realize even in their ex-
treme youth how wonderful it is to be an
American.
Key West responded readily enough to
the cries of war-suffering refugees from
Europe 1t should act with no less alacrity
in behalf of our own necessitous. refugees
from poverty.
This IS not world Of their making.
They deserve a chance to happiness, and
the Lions Christmas Benefit is a door to
Yuletide joy
Our charitable instincts must not be
circumvented by the war.
In the New Testament we read: THE
poor always We have with you" and that
was not qualified with allowances for GER
tain conditions.
We repeat the slogan of the Lions
Club:
"a merry Christmas for the needy.
Your spare change is wanted in order that
the city's poor children may have toys, fruit
and candy"

TREAcHERoUs BUT EFFICIENT

The japanese attack upon Hawaii, as
dawn broke on Sunday morning, will, as
the President says, live in infanIy' but it
should not have been a surprise to military
and naval men. thoroughly schooled in the
history of japanese treaehery.
Just what fortuitous combination of
circumstances enabled 7the aJapanese to
score such a spectacular success remains
undisclosed, as well as the full toll taken by
the daring Jap airmen Both belong to the
secrets of war
There are two additional observations,
it seems to us, in connection with Japan's
attack upon this nation First, we have ex-
perienced the same form of treachery that
has characterized Hitler's wanton assaults
upon small neutral nations Secondly, the
far-flung scope of Japanese attacks and
their perfect timing demonstrate an initia-
tive and efficiency that we should not
underestimate

The Union
TO 3 g. 3

Don't let anyone get the idea
that we intend to propose to buy
nice bowling shirts that have
"Stooge" written on the back in
nice large letters. "Stooge" shirts
may be a nice way of taking the
employees minds off the things
that they really need, but the
Union has no intention of trying
to beat around the bush and pull
the wool over anyone's eyes by
putting the last things first, or
the first things last. Did you ever
try to pay the grocery bill with a
"Stooge" shirt? If you want to
get the real Mccoy on a genuine
rendition of the old Horselaugh,
just try it some time.
The Union proposes that the
thing hat should stand first on
the agenda for all Brown &
~Brockmeyer employees is a wage
raise of Ten Cents An Hour! Do
you think that we are right? Or
do you think that we all need is
some nice shirts? Let us know
what you think. There is no use
kidding ourselves. We can get the
ten cents an hour, but we can't
get it without the help and support
of the great majority of workers
in the plant. Let us know by talk
ing, OUT LOUD! Let us know by
coming to our meetings and func-
tons and speaking your own mind!

DO YOU BELONG ??

.>~ Jay EdUards, Local 755
There is a man in our shop
He works along the line.
He liked his wage adjustment
And he thought THAT DIME was fine!
He is proud of every gain we've made
Fought for by you and me.
But he cannot find three bucks to pay
His dues in our UE!
I spoke to him the other day
I said, "How do you stand?
Will you always be a lousy scab?
Sign a card, and be a MANI"
He ran into the Office
And started in to sing.
"They want me to join the Union
Isn't that an awful thing?'
The foreman just ignored him
This foreman was plenty smart.
I do not say he was afraid,
He just had peace at heart!
This only goes to show you
That it's better all along.
To be a helping, working hand
Than a SCAB-WHO DON'T BELONG
