rCHER KIDDIN

'IAA4,sr, Had Beatty (no relation to
Clyde Beatty, the lion tamer) has
a swell job as liaison man between
the company management and the
employees.
Poor Mr.. Beatty is really having
a difficult time of it to cause some
of the employees of the company
have got their fingers crossed. Aft
er all, the Company doesn't supply
a male Missus Dix for the con-
venience of the employees, out of
the kindness of its heart.
The Union employees of the COM
pany know that no such service as
that offered by the Com p any
through Mr.. Beatty ever prevailed
before the Union came into the
shop, and they are a little bit
dubious, even though this gentle
man seems to say, "Come to me, l
can do anything for you that the
Union cam"
Don't be kidded by Mr.. Beatty
on his goodwill tours of the plant,
because it is just as true today as
it was when first uttered. Beware
of Greeks bearing gifts" with
apologies to the Greeks.)
We are definitely in favor of
constantly improving the labor
management relations in our plant,
but we dislike having this done in
a manner which does not create
confidence and which gives us the
impression that in its sticky sweet
ness there is some ulterior purpose.
Why does the management con-
tinue to try to kid US?
Just because we work for liv-
ing is no sign that we are lacking
in intelligence and cannot perceive
what lies behind the activities of
certain people who are employed
to do job, and who are doing 1T
in a most nauseating manner.
What's this we hear about Walter
Bitz of Dept. B starting poultry
farm? The dopesters tell us he has
started with a thousand chickens.
Nice going, Walter, and the best of
;uck in your new venture.
OUR TEAM
leading the league from
y glonirst of the season, our Cham
TO softball team took the field
this week all decked out in brand
new uniforms. The scarlet and
gray Champs are proving every
day that they aren't fooling when
they play ball. Only one game was
lost this season and that has since
been avenged.
We can't pick out any one par
ticular player for the star, because
the whole team plays as one man.
Steve Kaifasz' pitching, together
with home runs by George Holt
grieve, Jack Clifford, Bernie Krieg-
er, Mel Beamon and others are
just samples of what the opposition
is up against. We aren't asking
for moral support any more, just
telling you where to see a good
ball game. Watch your bulletin
board for the next game.
We hear that:
When Chuck Decker of the mill
wrights buys a necktie, he takes
the meek" part seriously. He had
perfect rosebud lipstick imprint
on his new bright yellow tie when
he got home last week! Who dun
it?
Glenn Jones is wearing glasses
now. According to Jonesy, his right
eye is looking toward the right
and his left, to the left. Probably
caused by getting two drinks at
once.
Art Kier's name has been chang
ed to Bertha (Berta) Kier. The
tag was hung on him by his fellow
inspectors.
The death of Dorothy Churchill
was quite a shock and we wish to
!, extend our heartfelt sympathy to
her three children.
We are looking forward to new
members in our Champion Unit. See
your friends and invite them to be-
come one of our fast growing or
ganization.
AS a result of negotiations be-
tween management and the Ex-
ecutive Committee, double time IS
to be paid for all time worked
over ten hours in any week day.
