small or large. 49,.
Lester Fahnstock and his depart
ment get our whole hearted "A

10 cents a week to a fund for
helping all draftees from that de-
partment.
Maybe you think hat as they
leave for the army these boys
don't feel all their fellow workers
are standing right with them?
Think again! Stewards and mem
bers Of other departments-lets
make this a plant-wide practice.
Lets really back up the boys
who r going out to fight for us.
Gifts Of any kind, cigarettes, food,

Being Americans, and a free
people, we do not bluff very
easily, but the fact remains, there
is much ahead of us, hat simply
must be done to attain victory.
Organized labor has come to
the front Immediately with 1000
cooperation spirit.
Organized labor has renowned
all strikes and dissension for the
duration of the war.
Organized labor has proffered
plans and methods for increased
production in the various indus
tries.
But alas! We have very little to
say for Capital at least in Dayton,
Ohio.
Major plants in Dayton seem to
be waiting till the prices are right
before putting every effort into
the National Defense Program.
We have seen a punch press (new)
taken for a ride around the shop
for two whole weeks. Everytime a
government man came around, the
punch press got another ride. We
don't know but perhaps this
mobile punch press" is a modern
innovation in production. In an
other shop we see steel shavings
strewn around idle machines to
give the effect of being used. We
definitely know they are not. In
again another plant we see shells
worked on that none of us would
wager a nickel on for usefulness.
Now isn't there any sense of
patriotism among our manage
ments?
Suppose one of their own boys
had to use defective shells. Or
don't they have children?
Let's wake up, management, and
get into the spirit of the thing. We
are fighting a war of life and
death. You'll have plenty of time
to get rich after the war, if we
win. If we don't, you can't get
rich and can only blame your
selves. Let's go, management, and
Keep EN- Flying!"

1T behooves each and every

Maqi|| Asks Tax Deduction
For Insurance Premiums
nv tho Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 15.-Roswell
Magill, former Undersecretary OF
the Treasury, today recommended
the Government permit deduction
for life insurance premiums to some
limited extent before income taxes.
Speaking at meeting of the
American Society of Chartered Life
Underwriters. Mr.. Magill said de-
duction for life insurance premiums
would be almost as justifiable as
the deductions now allowed for
charitable contributions.
Any such provision, he said,
should be limited to a definite
percentage of income to prevent its
use in unjustif1able cases for de-
nberate tax avoidance.
Mr.. Magill, now a law professor
at Columbia University, said life
insurance was almost the only way
the middle class individual coulo
protect his family because under
present conditions there was little

costs and income taxes.
