st. Johns College Bombed in Drill

Three bombs" hit the court yard.
of st. Johns College here yesterday.
Two young victims" were carried
through dense smoke to an ambu-
lance and brother from the college
lay injured across the street.
1t was only show, however, with
Hollywood touch. AS cameras,
placed in strategic places in the
neighborhood went grinding on,
civilian defense workers of Zone I
of the Mid-City area went through
their PAGES as outlined in their
script"
Shouting the equivalent of the
Hollywood battle cry of lights, ac-
ton, camera" was Zone Warden
Joseph l.. Wren. Principal camera
man was Peter K. Beam, Of the Gov
ernment Printing Office, who takes
pictures as hobby.
Several Hitches in Schedule.
But all didn't go according to
schedule. Slated to start at 10 am,
the sun declined to cooperate and
played hide e-andgo-seek with the
clouds. The first victims-victims OF
the cold-were served steaming cups
of coffee.
Second hitch in the script came
at what was to be the climax-an
incendiary bomb on the roof OF
the college. The first stirrup pump
tested backfred and squirted water
all over Mr.. Wren. r. :.
After all, I'm not supposed to
be the bomb,' remarked Mr.. Wren,
with note of evaporation in his
voice.
Just to make sure the building
wouldn't burn down, helpers brought
up q second pump, two buckets OF
sand and a garden hose. Mr.. Wren
was Just about to yell Lights, ac-
ton, camera" again and set the
bomb off when it was discovered
that the roof was too thin for the
experiment.
But before adjourning to the
courtyard for the incendiary bomb
display, a model bomb was placed
on the roof, with fusee placed
on the far side from the camera

Victims Put on Stretchers.
Brother Augustine, vice principal
of st. Johns, was the makeup art
ist. He smeared two 13-year-old
victims, Jay Cone, 1901 Thirteenth
street NV, and Lawrence Baker,
1917 Rhode Island avenue NV,
with red and brown grease paint.
Once the scene had been set with
smoke bombs, the victims were
placed in the court yard on blanket
stretchers. At given signal, res
cuers came wheeling through from
the front, took the handkerchiefs
from their noses long enough to pick
up the boys and trotted out.
Carline Bayles, assistant deputy
in charge of training at Mid-City
and a mechanic with Pennsylvania
Central Airlines, said the film
started with plane spoilers and was
carried through the various steps,
including the flashing of alert at
fire alarm headquarters, wardens
being notified and the work of the
control center.
The finale of the script which
"just evolved" Miss Bayles said.
will be a gas drill with masks.
Mr.. Beam explained that the pur-
pose of the film was for the instruc-
tion of wardens
Visual education is better than
reading instructions" he explained.

As this edition of the Dayton
Union News goes to press the ma
ton has just given recognition to
one of its greatest lovers of de-
mocracy, and will soon celebrate
the birthday of another.
In this period of national emer-
gency, when u country's future
is being decided on the battle
fields of Europe, Asia, the Far
East, in the army camps, the mills,
mines and work shops of Amer
lea, it is good to reflect upon the
great struggles for democracy our
country has been through, and
won. The names of Abraham Lin
coin, and George Washington, are
synonymous with life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. Today,
just as in 1776 and 1861, the forces
of reaction are attempting to beat
down and destroy the democratic
way of life.
We are confident that once
again freedom, and the dignity
of man will triumph. From the
struggle which lies before us there
must and will rise a better world.
And our UE, united with the
millions of organized Union men
and women of America is playing
an important part in winning the
war. The united thinking, the Or
ganized action, which flows from
our Union, will be a powerful
force in establishing a world free
of Hitlers, japanese m~ilitarists
and all that they stand for.
We dedicate this struggle to the
memory of Washington, and Lin
coin, and the things they stood
and fought for. Today we are
united behind another great Presi-
dent, who's task is as great as
the men who's birthdays we now
celebrate. We hope he too will
lead us to that victory, and re-
construction desired by every
America. With your help in the
armed force, in the plant, in your
Union, and as a civilian defense
worker, WE WILL WIN ~!

The benefits of organization,
shown to ordnance workers even
before their election, have made
these results possible. The armed
forces of America depend on the
materials of war being furnished
them. The best way to do the
work is to act in harmony in our
shops.
A well-paid and contented
worker will produce more work
than a worker who is continually
worried with debts and poor
working conditions. Your Union
is the means of taking car of
your interests as well as aiding
in the protection of the safety of
America.
The Ordnance Plant workers are
not the only Frigidaire group who
is active. Plants One and Two
are in an all-out drive for COM
plete organization. Contract time
is coming. The entire UE in Day.
ton has signified their intentions
of asking for a Union shop. The
addition of the workers at the
Ordnance Plant is just that much
more help in that aim.
We are asking all workers to do
their bit. Sign up those last few
workers and thus further your
benefits in hours, wages and
working conditions.
The grievance procedure of set
Ting all difficulties is yours for
everyday use. Take full advan-
tage of it! You have efficient
committeeman to handle any
problems that may come up in
the shop. It's your Local and,
in order to help you, we must
have your cooperation in bring
ing in your problems.

PATROLMEN
CASE NOW IN
WASHINGTON

Results of the National Labor
Board hearing, on the petition for
an election, filed by the UE for
Frigidaire plant patrolmen, have
been sent to the Board in Wash
ington. General Motors attorneys
have requested permission to
file a brief in the case, apparently
feeling that the evidence the
company was able to produce was
not sufficient for GIN to obstruct
and election among the patrolmen.
The request to file a brief will
also delay a decision by the Board,
which is something Frigidaire no
doubt desires.
In spite of Arrangements ma
neuvers, Frigidaire patrolmen are
uniting their organization stronger
than ever, to insure victory in
the coming election for bargain
ing rights.

Program

by Virtue Oh TIE EECS40G1IS ,
proclamation of January ID, 1912,
the Department of Justice has
embarked on a nationwide pro-
gram for issuing Certificates of
Identification to aliens of enemy
nationalities.
During the period February 9
through February 28 aliens of
German, Italian or Japanese ma
tionality in 40 states and the Dis
trict of Columbia must take ap-
propriate steps to obtain Certifi-
Gates of Identification.
This program differs from the
Alien Registration of 1910 in two
important respects: ~ Only
aliens of German, Italian or Jap
anese nationality are now required
to obtain Certificates of Identifi-
cation, whereas all aliens had to
register in 1910 and (2) the Ger
tificate of Identification must at
all times be carried by the alien,
whereas there was no such re-
quirement as to the receipt card
issued in the Alien Registration
of 1910.
Aliens of German, Italian or
Japanese nationality "a years of
age or over must apply for Ger
tificates of Identification at the
~first-class, second-c class or county
seat post office nearest their place
of residence. Aliens unavoidably
absent from their place of resi-
dence during the application Pc
Rod may file applications in the
appropriate post office in the dis
trict in which they are temporar-
lily located. Failure to make ap-
plication within the prescribed
time subjects the alien to severe
penalties, including internment for
the duration of the war.
Enemy aliens under Ia years
of age need not apply at this time.
However, they must apply imme-
diately upon their reaching the
age of Il.

Soft Ball League
Under the guidance of Leroy
Christ, the able Secretary-Treas-
urer of the CLIO Basketball
League, a new sports activity is
being planned. In accordance with
the Fitness for Defense" plan,
softball teams are being contacted
to form a CLIO Softball League.
We need eight teams of men ball
players. We r also inviting the
ladies to form teams with the as
surance that all teams will be
given a chance to play in league
competition. Contact Leroy Christ
in the Council office for further
Information.
Wrestling
The matches at Local 755 Rec
reation Hall at 20 Madison st.
last Wednesday night attracted the
usual good attendance. In the
feature event, Duke De Kokenov
was disqualified by the referee
and also bounced around a bit
by an enthusiastic spectator. His
opponent, Sammy Snyder, has
filed charges, asking that Duke be
barred from UE future matches.
Ralph Alexander, who had never
lost a match at Recreation Hall,
lost to Rocky Stone, when the
indianapolis mailman misjudged a
flying tackle and sailed through
the ropes to the cement floor.
In two fast prelims Curly Grant
won over Young Marco, and
Roughhouse Mitchell defeated
Wild Bill Sherman.
Further top flight entertainment
is scheduled at Recreation Hall
for February Is. Boys who have
displayed their wares, such as
Rocky Stone, the Duke, Grant,
Sherman, Marco and Mitchell,
will face newcomers to the hall
in future bouts.

From a tour of "Office Supply

CHILDREN'S BEACH HOUSE
CHATTER

The board gave us lovely sur

the staff a bicycle. OF course the
counselors can save gas and tires
now by doing errands on the bike.
Three of us girls had afternoon
visits this week. Arlene went home
with Mrs. Klein. She reports a
| lovely visit at Rehoboth. Roberta
accompanied Mrs. Winkler to the
| farm. She enjoyed it, t,'indeed. Then,
Saturday, June was in Milford with
her family.
We surely miss Irene. She left
us Friday and by now is a real
farmerette.
Mothers Day was really cele-
brated at the Beach House. We had
made Mothers Day. cards and sent
to our mothers. The day was truly
nice for us. Even though all OF us
could not have our mothers or
other members of the. family with
us, several did have. Franks moth
er came and brought his sister,
Awilda. Ewilda used to be with us,
and we thoroughly appreciated see
ing her again. Billy had real
surprise, for his Dad came. Bus
ter's mother and sister came,
bringing popcorn to us. Arlene's
mother and Bobbie's mother and
sister were also here. And, it was
delightful to have Miss DUPONT with
us, too. The candy June received
and Franks mother brought added
much to our celebration, as did the
bouquets of white lilaes and
wigelia.
These nice Sundays part of us
walk to Sunday School. Those who
attend the Methodist Church walk
one Sunday, and the others ride.
The next Sunday the walkers of the
previous Sunday ride, while those
who attend the Presbyterian
walk.
