Local II
Teaches It's
Members

Prior to the war, Local II had
made its plans for a full course of
classes to be given in all phases of
shop practices and various techno-
logical and scientific industrial
studies.
This program, because of the
war, has been held temporarily in
allegiance. However, classes are be-
ing held in blue print reading In
the Local IL classrooms, which are
open for beginners and advanced
students.
Glasses are held on Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday nights of
each week. Robert Davis, in charge
of vocational training for the local,
is in charge of the classes.
At the present time, there are
75 in the beginners class and 35 in
the advanced class of blue print
reading. Mr.. Davis says that be-
tween 400 and 500 students have
completed the course in the last lS
months and that many of these
people have taken important posi-
tions in Toledo's war industries.
Mr.. Davis received his training
at Toledo University and Macom-
Der High School. He has an ex-
cellent background of training and
experience in aeronautical engin-
eering, conference operation, fore
manship, radio and electricity. He
formerly operated the Toledo
Model Airplane Supply. At the
present time, Mr.. Davis is chief
steward in the Vought-Sikorsky
Division of the Willys-Oyerland
and is rated as an instructor.
Mr.. Davis is married and lives
at 1921 Noble st. He has three
lively daughters, Carnovan, Sale
Lee and Deanna.

Cameo N)O Opener
n UNII MoI~,yInuvSks
BY Floyd Madrzykowski

With the changing of 1912 to
1943, we move along with time
by changing the title of this
column. Do you like it? Thank
you.
First of all, we wish to convey
a message to you in the form of a
letter. from Pvt. Chuck Bennett of
the 33rd Chemical, Decon. Co., at
Camp Blanding, Florida.
"Thanks for remembering, it
gives one swell feeling to know
that soldier has not been for
gotten. Mail is very essential but
very scarce. If you could only see
the men, yes even the older men
35 and 40 years old, rush for mail
call with all eagerness. But when
the mail is dished out and some
fellows get none, you would really
be surprised at the difference in
those forces. Some of the boys
Just cuss and say, The h with
'em, they are too busy making
money! Mail is really a morale
builder if one receives mail. Other
wide morale is let down.
This 33rd Chemical Decontami-
nation Co., is new branch, un-
heard of in the last war. BY the
use of certain chemicals we clear
out areas that have been gassed
by the enemy enabling our men to
advance. We also drill and march
quite a few miles each week"
Charley used to truck in the
cover dept, and this was the letter
of appreciation that he sent in
regards to the gift that he re-
ceived. This adds to the proof of
the theory that a little goes a
long way.
So dear readers, again we ask
you to give our soldiers the 100ao
support they deserve. Help to build
morale by writing to the boys.
This is the answer to last
weeks tenpin question. A tenpin
must weigh not less than 3 lbs,
nor more than 3 lbs. 8 ozs.

Labor and The
War Effort
BY Herb Reiser

Labor is playing an extremely
important part in this war and do
ing its best to cooperate with in
dustry.
Labor has and will continue to
increase production and will hold
strikes to a minimum. To obtain
it's meager rewards Labor has done
more than its share to provide har-
mony with management for the
duration.
The outward boast of manage
ment of its effort to cooperate with
labor is only partially truG While
admitting admiration for labor's
increased production and the elm
ination of strikes, management
continues to take advantage, using
the cry of war as weapon and a
shield.
The entire National Supply plant
went on a two ten-hour shift sched-
ule. The employees are only too
willing to work any number of
hours necessary TO help bring this
war to a rapid climax. All true
American citizens wish to return to
their former mode of life.
The National Supply Unit wishes
TO extend its sympathy to Fred
Schliebner and family for the mis-
fortune of their son, Dick, whose
home was completely ruined by
fire on New Years Day. However
great the material loss, we are all
glad to hear that no one was in
jured.
Seniority ratings are not being
properly attended TO. All new EN-
ployes should be placed on these
lists as they are hired. There has
also been a great deal of comment
on the selections Of foremen and
leaders from the ranks of the EN-
ployes. The older workers should
be given the preference and the
chance to show their ability. SEMI
ority and ability should be the de-
Gliding factors for these selections.
Leader Louie Bateman reports
the success of his lady gear filers.
The women are doing their best
and should be aided and respected
by all.
The Nationals Bowling League
is under a severe strain. The
changing Of shifts and of employees
in various departments has brought
about an acute situation. The bowl
ers, being of true sporting blood,
are trying to continue despite these
hazards.

Porcelain
Pot Shots
BY DICK SMITH
LET'S TALK TURKEY

After reading the article in the
Dec. % Blade on the mass poison
ing of approximately 500 employees
in Los Angeles plant allegedly
from partaking of a Christmas tur-
key dinner, we wish to express our
appreciation to the management for
the non-concurrence of our expect
ed Christmas gift.
Following are a few overheard
Xmas Day dinner conversations
which, to all reports, were dupli-
Gated in more than one home: Child
with napkin under chin): Bring on
the turkey, dad.
Dad with tears in his eyes): No
turkey this year, kids.
Child: Didn't Santa Claus come
to the Porcelain this Christmas?
Dad: Yes, children, he was there,
but the stockholders got to him be-
fore we did, but he wouldn't come in
anyway as the front of the build
ing caved in and he was afraid the
company might want him to put on
a new front and he didn't have any
building fronts in his sack. Now
eat your hash and shut up.
Mitch to Frieda: It's good thing
we got chickens this year, Nav.
Brother Jewell: Praise the Lord
and pass the turkey" "Amen."
And then there's the little gem of
poetic wisdom turned in by the
Bard of the furnace department:
There's a great big turkey on
Grampaw's farm. And he's zD
struttin' behind the barn. Year
last we got rooster, last yea
hen, but when will we get anothef
Only God knows when.
Then there's Frank Powers, Chief
of the Swiss Army Intelligence,
who states that turkey gets under
his plate anyway.
Thoughts while nibbling on &
leftover turkey sandwich
Why did the complete company
personnel leave at noon Christmas
eve? Could be that the pangs of
conscience was a little more than
they could stand, after reading and
hearing about the generous Christ
mas spirit of such companies as
Jack & Heintz.
Wonder how much it will cost
us to get our checks this week.
This new Victory Tax will just
about clean up our 32 hour earn
ings.
Wonder what ever happened to
the shower room and the clean,
dust-free place to eat our lunch
that was so earnestly promised
some time ago.
Wonder if Servicemen's Well
are Chairman Simms has got
started on the program recently
planned.
Is any plant which is not do
ing essential war work boarding
labor? A letter to the manpower
commission might get an en-
tightening answer.

Mr.. Welch, who was a eontribut-

by Paul Schoenfeld as editor of
the Spicer Unit News and contri-
buting editor of the Union Journal.
simple reason that some taxpay-
ers have not made the necessary
savings to meet the tax payments
due on March 18th. The income
tax, of course, can be made in
quarterly installments.
The new Victory Tax which be-
comes effective on January J.,
1943, will be deducted by the en-
ployer from your earnings accru-
ing and paid after January l.,
1943. 1t has no effect whatso-
ever on the income tax return
for 1912 which is due March Is,
1943. This Victory Tax amounts
to $50 Of your gross revenue
above the exemption Of $12 week,
or 1924 year, regardless whether
you file joint return with your
wife, the exemption is $l,24S.00
unless your wife's income is less
than $624.00. In the latter case,
the joint exemption amounts to
.$624.00 plus her income. This
tax, of course, is collected by the
employer and paid to the Gov
ernment. In January, 1914 you
will be given receipt for the
total withheld by your employer.
When you fill in the Victory Tax
section of the income tax return
due March ID, 1914, you take this
total amount withheld as a credit
against the tax, You will also be
permitted to take certain credits
against the Victory tax such as
premiums paid on your life in
surance in force on September /,
1912, whether the insurance is on
your life, on the life of your wife
or on the life of a dependent.
You also have a credit Of the
amount by which you reduced in
debtedness in the year 1943 to the
extent that your debt at the close
of the year is smaller than the
lowest level from September l.,
1912 to December 81, 1912. An
other credit afforded the taxpay-
er will be given for the amount
you paid or additional purchases
Of United States War Bonds dur
ing the year. All workers will
thus recognize still another rea-
son for substantial purchases of
War Bonds in the year 1913!
Still another word about the
Victory Tax. The tax is TO be in
force only for the duration of the
war, After the war is over the
government will give part of the
tax back to you if you have not
claimed it all in advance through
the credits listed above.

WHY'S
Pot Shots

Marcella Lee of Dept, 30S has
invented new way to go fishing
and also uses a new type of tackle.
1t seems she laid her hat on a
window ledge the other day and
when she started to reach for it, the
hat had disappeared. On looking
out of the window, she discovered
it about six feet below her, so she
borrowed a mop stick and started
to fish for it. After making about
25 casts, she finally caught it.
