The letters we receive from our
boys in the Service show they GER
tainly appreciate our monthly
check to each. 1t only means the
price Of drink or two a month
from each. With the liquor situa-
ton the way it is-we1l keep up
the good start kids. The collection
is handled with book inspection.
Try to increase it please.
At our shop the photograph con-
test has looked more like blonde

redheads take pretty pictures
Our Unit party was a swell af-
fair and all had a good time. But
carrying kegs and glasses up five
flights of stairs is no cinch. "Ask
Chet Delaney" "He knows" May
be our glasses won't get broken.
If the elevator isn't fixed by then,
maybe we can find some plastic
ones. Then more of the people will
stay later than five o'clock.

little liver pills has been sad loss

do.
Imagine our surprise in seeing
Johnny Ball working on ham,
mer. And we were even more sur
prised to learn how he was doing
on the hammer because Johnny
was the foreman who knew all
about hammers and could take the
other hammermen and day crew
to pieces. After all, the way a
picture looks depends to con-
siderable extent upon where you
are standing when you look at it.
Don't you think SO, Mr.. Ball.
While on the subject of Balls,
there is that other Ball, yclept
Virgil who toots on the tooter and
plays a mean clarinet when Car
men Broderick can induce him to
attend band practice. Virgil is one
of the forge shops most virtuous
he-men.

The men in Dept. G would like
to have Sparky ask someone who
knows: Why can't we have a girl
machinist-a blond preferred?
Possible answer; 0ld-bear-with-
the-ladies' resistance is low in the
winter. Especially where blondes
are concerned. Need we say more ?
Jack Aiming denies it, but we
know that his middle name is the
same as that Of Shakespeare's
famous Observation-Disclosures
That's better than Julius Caesar.
There is always something in
teresting to talk about at our unit
meetings. If you're not the talk
ing type, there is always good lis
tening.
We have all heard about our air
force destroying a great part Of
the Jap fleet in a recent battle,
boys and girls! That took a lot
of Champion Spark Plugs. Let's
not delay the complete destruction
of the Jap navy. That will take
/ plenty more plugs. Let's all step
I on it!
The Red Cross drive is on, folks!
We should all give freely TO it.
A few have been complaining
about our committee lately. These
same complainers are the ones who
are noticeably absent on meeting
nights. Come on down, boys, and
learn the truth about the work.
A bunch Of our fellows got to-
gether Wednesday evening at
Byrne Road and Chicago Pike. A
great deal was done. You will
hear more about that as we move
forward.
Don Philo can always be found
at his machine during working
hours. He also does some fast
work in the lunch room-if you get
what we mean. Wayne Edwards
is a close second.

There seems to be something
missing in the office of Hill and
Shedwick. Maybe the cold that
has John Reason talking in whis-
pers is it, but Harry Grothaus can
still be heard.
Ron Wilson of Dept. B has a
very guilty smile lately, but he,
too, works near Don Philips and
Wayne Edwards.

Something To Shout About
Five thousand five hundred
planes in the last month! Does
that sound like the laboring man
isn't doing his share? And to
think that this feat was being per-
formed during the same month
that Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker was
so abusive to the working class.
We wonder if Kicks followers
think the big shots who keep the
swivel chairs warm are fully re-
sponsible for this Herculean pro-
duction.

Speaking Of bowling, we might
mention that the Steels of the
Cameo Ladies league are doing
good job Of holding down first

near.
Definite signs of spring are in
evidence here, with migration the
topic of the day. Practically ev-

the place gathering dust. To the

you are working closer to heaven

whenever the opportunity may
present itself, ask Bill Kleparek
what he would do with a million

clarity any misunderstanding, the
story that has been circulating
about the shop in regard to black
out violations is purely ficticious
and has no reference to persons

yILLIE THE NEAT


NjWillie Getz of Dept. 268 is still
up to his old tricks, even if he
does do all the duties his Union
asks of him, such as voting, at
tending meetings (if he is not too
tired after carrying that mouthful
of Mail Pouch) and that 100 lb.
carcass of his around daily. His
wife told him, seeing he lives in
a swanky hotel known as the
Michigan, to come home with
clean hands like all gentlemen
should and to take time enough to
wash his hands. 1t seems that
Willie is so set on his war effort
that he never thinks about it UNI
til he is half way home and when
he gets there has to sneak in and
find place to scrub his hands,
It's tough, Willie, to have to do
that but we would like to suggest
that you wash that dirty face of
yours and comb the chips and to-
bacco out of that hair adornment
on your upper lip.
WAR PRODUCTION QUEENS
We would like to congratulate
Dept. 233 in producing a good,

comments on the good job all the

too bad some of those good look,

over the plant, did not enter theil

Justice Jennings Bailey of District
Court has denied a petition of the
National Metropolitan Bank to set
aside restrictive covenant in a

to permit erection of an apartment
building on Connectiut avenue be-
tween Northampton and Oliver
streets.
Many prominent residents in a

necticut avenue and Chevy Chase
parkway, carried on the successful
fight to have the covenant pre-
served.
The case had been hanging fire in

Since then the National Metropoli-
tan Bank came in as a substitute
plaintiff and present owner in place

Dr.. Hens Ordered Held
After District Resident
Testifies at Baltimore

DR.. James S. Hens of Catonsville
Md, former psychiatrist at Spring
Grove Hospital near there, today
faced grand jury action in Balti-
more on a charge of "counseling
aiding and abetting" a prospective
Washington inductee to avoid serv-
ice in the armed forces.
Dr. Hens, who was arrested No.

Investigation agents through in
formation furnished them by the
inductee. Ferdinand A. Nauheim, a.
Of 39l6 Military road NV. was a
part-time employe Of the State Sc

in giving physical examinations in
Baltimore.
Mr.. Nauheim, the Government S
only witness at DR.. Hens prelim-
mary hearing yesterday before
United States Commissioner James
K. Cullen in Baltimore, testified that
the psychiatrist told him of a FIVE
man partnership which sought to
keep men out of the armed forces.
Describes Conversation.
Mr.. Nauheim, who said he first
met DR.. Hens at the 5th Regiment
Armory in Baltimore after he had
been notified of his imminent trans
fer to IA draft classification. de-
clared that the 52-year-old, Swiss
born doctor told him that he might
avoid induction by Stimulating
psychoneurosis at his final physical
examination.
DR.. Hens told him. Mr.. Nauheim
told Commissioner Cullen, that it
did not matter whether he were in
Quoted in Baltimore or Washington

this. and we can make arrange

Defense Plea Denied.
William Curran, Baltimore at
torney who is DR.. Hens counsel
argued that the Federal statute
under which the Government filed
charges against DR.. Hens did not
cover his case, but Mr.. Cullen over
ruled him and declared that if there
was any question of Jurisdiction, it
should be settled in the courts.
The commissioner held DR.. Hens
in $4,000 bail, on which he has been
free since his arrest.
