Try this sometime. Take an in
cident and then let your mind
wander. The final destination of
that train of thoughts is entirely
dependent on your character. 9th
ers like me would probaly end up
in padded cell.
While watching a mason brick
ing up a wall of our newest ad-
dition the thought occurred to me
that the rebuilding of Europe will
cause boom in that trade even
as now the emphasis is on ma
chinists and machine operators
just as is the case today of west
coast factories paying your way
from east to west, there will be
many artisans who will have their
passage paid from west to the war
torn cities of eastern Europe. Be
cause of our present philosophy of
it can't happen here, it would be
catastrophy if some of our cities
We're demolished by enemy bomb
ing. 1t is certain that we would
wake up, and in doing so, realize
the horribleness of war. would
the survivors apply themselves
more to the war effort? Yes, but
at the present time our efforts are
prompted, for the most part, by
misguided conception of patriot
ism and the desire for good wages
and profits. not few slug their
way through an unfamiliar routine
because they are mothers, fathers,
sisters, and wives of men who are
doing the actual fighting may
their prayer be answered, that
their men will not experience the
bungling and ''muddling through"
tactics of the home front Black
Markets are directly traceable to
said tactics and Vaccinations.
HEY, THIS HAS TO STOP
SOMEWHERE.

cules" was married last week.

Freddie Wiegand is going very
glamorous on us. He has gone on a
diet and what a diet! Lots of black
coffee and no rolls or doughnuts -
but he eats a pint of ice cream!
You can't lose weight like that,
Freddie.
If you are satisfied with the way
the War Labor Board has handled
our case on the wage adjustment,
then don't register for the right to
vote in the election this fall, but
you can be sure capital will turn
out 100 per cent.
There were enough of our good
union people who turned out for
the parade on Labor Day to assure
US third prize for our float. The
boys and girls marched straight
and tall even if the rain did trickle
down the backs of their necks.
Well do better next year.

Americans Not
Fighting For
Territory

DENVER, Sept. IL (FP)-Ter-
ritorial conquest does not rank high
on the list of things we're fighting
for, according to results of a sur
vey just completed by the National
Opinion Research Center, Univer-
sity of Denver.
Only 10 per cent of the people
polled favored getting as much land
as possible out of the war, the re-
suit showed, and only 9 per cent
favored giving up "all land outside
the U. S. which is difficult to de-
fend."
The remaining 81 per cent either
felt that we should be satisfied with
the amount of land we had before
the war (37GO, or that we should
try to get new military bases and
nothing else (44fo).

Seeing Eye
By Claude Hess

when you have to file a bill OF
exceptions refusing to sign it. II
that is building up harmonious re-
lations then we are all crazy. We
even offered to open school and
teach the foremen all about the
contract, but that was refused be-
cause they have been taught the
opposite. We should feel sorry for
those birds, but we can't. They
have made their bed so let them
lay in it.
No wonder the company believes
in cost plus with all these bosses
on the pay roll, and remember
brothers and sisters, you have the
pleasure of paying for it out of
your income tax.
We would like to take this OPP
portunity to thank the writer of
the postcard he sent to Ollie
Pecord. We also know you are
Union Member but not very good
one or you would have signed your
name to it. We still think you have
the right to criticize the w. o.
management for giving those birds
any work, but you missed a couple
of other scab jokers. One is out on
Harris Avenue known as the n.
B. c. Yes, they are doing lot of
broadcasting for help. Another is
at Point Place.
The management has no feeling
of shame they let out this work to
the lowest bidder. Even one of our
superintendents has packing
plant But sign your name and we
will respect it
Every time they let out any
work without notifying the Ex-
ecutive Committee it is a direct
violation Of the contract Their one
long cry is "There is a war going
on, the government needs the
parts"
REGISTER
Have you registered yet, if not
please take little time and go to
PIT Superior Street and get your
self in position to vote in Novem-
Der We think this is just as i'm
portant as paying your income tax.
Remember if you work, vote for

Orlie Elliot and Agnes Hisey of
Dept. E had the knot tied Sept. 3.
We wish them every happiness.
From the observation post in this
corner, this reporter viii venture
the opinion that it was tied good
and strong. The best of luck to two
very nice people.
REGISTER AND VOTE!
Be sure to register, and vote,
if YOU want better labor conditions.
The necessity for labor to play its
part in the coming elections can't
be overemphasized. Let US begin
now to make preparations for this
important occasion. Labor must
awaken to the vital effort it must
nut forth in the interest of the
common people the little people.
The various organizations which
oppose the laboring class are on
their toes and have begun to muster
their forces for the battle ahead.
We should not let them get the
Jump on US. From now on it's
race. Let's win it,!
Although most of the member
ship is not associated closely enough
with the activities of our chairman
and vice-chairman to realize the
tremendous amount of work con-
nected with their jobs, there are
those who do. One incident still
fresh in our minds is the incident
of the vacation checks Speidell and
Grup fought to the last minute TO
get the checks before our four days
off. The result is a matter of rec
ord That was just one phase in a
constant maze of wrangling which
most committeeman are faced with
when they tackle the job of trying
to please the majority of people.
Agnes Koester said she didn't
mind the rain at the parade be-
cause she's used to being showered
on at her bench at the cement
table.
We are all glad to see Bruce
Melvin back to work so soon after
his illness. 1t just goes to show
that the Transportation Committee

that, friends

BOND SALE

BOND SALE
Our secretary reports great sue
cess in the Third War Loan Bond
Drive. Thanks TO your fine coopera-
tion Those who have not yet made
their purchase of an additional
bond for the drive should see the
secretary at their earliest conven-
ience, and help put our shop over
100 per cent in the big drive.
We extend our sympathy to
Mary Mandry on the loss of her
child recently.
Serious accidents not only injure
the morale of the workers, but are
a loss from any point of view.
Strict adherence and observation Of
safety measures will protect the
workers and cut down on the num-
ber Of preventable accidents in our
shop.
Acklin Unit has entered a team
in the Local II bowling league.
Frank 'Wekwert is captain. The
boys claim, and we believe it, that
they will give other shops in the
league stiff opposition.
HAVE YOU REGISTERED? If
you have not, then please walk, do
not run, to the Board Of Elections,
PIT Superior ST., next to the Es-
quire theater, and take care of this
important business NOW. We can
elect Tom Burke this fall if we all
get out and vote, but before we can
vote we must be eligible. Let's go
and register so the CIO in Toledo
will be able to elect Burke and earn
the respect of all Toledoans.
Your reporter will represent
Acklin Unit at the Buffalo Inter

LESSON FOR MANAGEMENT

No doubet our own and other
plant arrangements took the OPP
portunity Of learning a few point
ers about real plant management
as shown in a recent moving pic
ture in one of the downtown
theatres.
1t would have been a good idea
for the Chamber Of Commerce to
have attended a special showing
with the plant arrangements Of
Toledo as guests. To make certain
that nothing was missed, the pic
ture could have been shown for
ward, in reverse and forward
again and in slow motion so it
would have time to percolate
through.

Porcelain
Pot Shots
By Dick Smith

With the echo of the TPEP aux
ilary fire patrol, Brechbill and
Powers, firemen, still ringing in
our ears, we are reminded of the
problems facing everyone in the
employ of this company. The ne
cessity of part-time job to help
expedite the problem of meeting
our everyday living expenses. Some
have taken over part-time JOBS
similar to the above mentioned one.
Some work in service stations, some
for the railroad, while others spend
their spare time in the dispensing
of that good old brew.
By the way, we don't believe it
would be out of place to mention
the fact that the Toledo Porcelain
is one of the ll-to--numerous cor
porations in Toledo that filed bill
of exceptions to the recently estab-
lished 4S-hour week for this area.
Which reminds US of the guy
who said he sure would like to
buy bond this month, and he
would but for those thre lawsuits
pending for nonpayment of bills,
the fact that he faces eviction
shortly, and his kids can't go to
school for lack of shoes.
A recent example of the average
porcelain workers fine brand of
humor was displayed when Benny
Edgar Bergen) Ptake offered
"Grampa" Smith, of all things, pea
nuts.
Following are few "barbs from
the bard" offered, with malice
toward none, by Mortimer Snerd:"
Our Unit held a meeting,
The boys turned out, in droves.
Some had washed their faces,
Others donned new clothes.
Now it surely was a sight
To see them all file in.
Not hair was out of place
Nor whisker on a chin.
Now | suppose you wonder
Why all this ado,
So spare me but a moment
And I'll explain it all to you.
Now the girls turned out also,
For sisters to become,
And the way the boys cut up for
them
Surely was some fun.
Some of them told ribald jokes,
While others shook with mirTh.
And some things they did to enter
tain
Were strictly off this earth.
Now these stunts were very nice,
But what really took my eye
Was some of the boys I've known
for years
Had at last put on a tie.
There were ties imported from
London,
And | think some came from
Spain.
Some sported stickpins
Like a headlight on a train.
Some had their Sunday zoot suitson
While others pinchbacks wore;
Some had been hidden from moths
Since nineteen twenty-four.

true,

grievances. We would like to re-
mind you again, that regardless
what the questions may be, or
what problems may be involved
if they pertain to the shop-see
your committeeman or steward
FIRST. IL you go to your forman
first, you will get a hearts and
flowers serenade which usually
send you out silenced; bat not
convinced; that's their job.
WACKY IDEA DEPT.
We have heard many wacky
ideas; but here's one that sounds
like it should rate top billing.
The temperature in our plant
will be kept at a point so low il
will be necessary to keep moving
to keep from freezing. 1t looks like
the company is literally trying to
freeze" us to our jobs. This report
comes from a reliable source and
there is only one thing to do -
wait and see if the proposal is car
ried out.

when he attended the annual Will
gus reunion on Sunday on Sadie
Hawkins Hill, Dogpatch. Homer
was elected president of the family
clan for the coming year. Incl
dentally, Homer and his wife are
the only people carrying the VII
gus name. Others present were
Homer's Uncle Josh, cousin Ezra,
and Yokums, McSwines and some
200 others of the family.
Entertainment was furnished
during the lunch by the Scraggs
and Hairless Joe. Homer reports an
abundance of turnips and asks the
boys to just call him Turnips for
short instead of President.
Robert Strain, the lost sheep, has
been found. Mr.. Meiring, the shep-
herd, is very happy.
Since Will Manders bid on the
test stand leader job at 4c per
hour increase, he comes to work in
his Sunday clothes.

nuts, toss them into the air and
catch them in his wide open mouth
He doesn't do it any more since he
looked up and saw a sparrow
perched overhead.
Who is the guy in Dept. Sc that
Lefty is looking for? Look out,

What's biting the young radial
drill operator in Dept. 85, who
never smiles any more? Ever since
that gal left for college, he looks
like a forlorn COW. Gosh! Amt

right to exclude Negroes from par

Negroes can be excluded, union
