stomach for two days. A doctor had
treated him but he failed to re-
spond. Steve had not been worried
until then. He had seen his other
boy, Robert, seven, very sick one
day and in perfect health the next.
But now he was worried.
Steve telephoned the shipyard
that he would not be able to work
that day. He did not have much
money but he decided to go to the
best baby specialist in the vicinity,
DR.. II. p. Fine, in Perth Amboy
nine miles away.
While Mrs. LANCER held the baby
he drove their old car as fast as
he could through the heavy morning
traffic. Twenty-one minutes later
they walked into DR.. Fines office.
FOUNDATION HELPS
A few minutes later DR.. Fine was
examining the child. Then he shook
his head and looked the father in
the eyes. "He has infantile paraly-
SIS" DR.. Fine said.
For a moment 1t seemed Mrs.
Lancer would faint. Steve trembled.
"What can / dO?" asked Steve,
desperately. 81 haven't any
money"
Don't worry about money"
said DIR. Fine. There's a local
chapter of the National Founda-
ton for Infantile Paralysis right
here. You take the baby home
and I'll take care of everything
else"
But taking the baby home was
something else. He was shaking so
he could not drive. A Perth Amboy
policeman was called. He drove the
couple home.
Meanwhile. DR.. Fine called Joseph
F. Fitzgerald, chairman of the Mid
dlesex County chapter and New
Jersey representative of the Ma
tional Foundation. Action began.
Fitzgerald telephoned the police in
Carteret. A special siren on a build
ing there gave three sharp blasts
to call the first aid squad of the
community-volunteers from their
jobs in factories or business places.
Soon men appeared in an am
bulance at the LANCER home. Conta-
gion fighters wearing coveralls, rub
Der gloves, masks.
The baby was whisked away to
Medical Center in Jersey City, the
nearest hospital prepared to give
the famed Kenny method of treat

STRENGTH THROUGH UNITY
While seated at the UAW con-

impressed with one of the many
signs that decorated the hall. The
exact words of this sign were:
"The Union is as strong as the
rank and file," and never have
more thruthful words been spoken.
We here at Local II, together
with all other locals and unions in
Toledo have an opportunity to dis
play mass strength; we have the
opportunity to show this town that
we mean business and intend to
straighten things out.
The procedure to be followed in
displaying our strength is simple.
When you go to the polls Tuesday,
mark the numeral l opposite la
boris choice for Council, namely
Tom Burke. Labor's choice is the
best choice.
Remember our strength lies in
that little numeral 1. When you
go to vote, mark the l opposite

be done, it must be done

Now is the proper time to make
known the thoughts of the greater
percentage of Air-Way workers.
The issue is this: too many Of US
do too much gossiping, with little
thought of the harm it may do or
the trouble it may cause.
Maybe none of you have noticed
the clause in the Union agreement
regarding discrimination This is
an important item and should be
given as much consideration as
seniority rights, wages or griev-
ances.
The effect on innocent victims
of untrue gossip is also important.
Nothing is more apt to leave feel
ing of distrust or hatred for fellow
man than that.
Lets all try to curb this horrid
gossip. If you need something to
talk about, what about the war?
Do you know and understand other
peoples opinions about it?
The national slogan is; ga slip
of the lip may sink ship" Let's
have another slogan at the Air
Way:
"A little lie may wreck life.
How about it folks?
