them a hand for their good bowling
instead of finding fault and hoping
they will fall down? After all,
bowling is supposed to be a sport
and those who participate should
be sportsmen.

The Story of the Week:

The Story of the Week:
A certain man was driving home
when he suddenly remembered that
his wife wanted potatoes, so stop
ping at a store he bought bushel,
so when he gets into the house, the
following took place;
Husband: Look dear, what l
bought for YOU"
Better Half: We'll, what did you
buy?"
Husband: Cant you see? 1
bought a bushel of potatoes"
Better Half: Looks at bushel,
frowns, then squints one eye at her
husband while keeping the other on
the bushel. "Are You Kiddin ?"
Husband: "Well, you wanted po-
tatoes, didn't you?
Better Half: "Yes, but not with
stems on"
Husband: Stems ???"
Better Half: Here take a good
look" as she hands him couple.
Husband: Looks at supposed to
be potatoes, gulps, and weakly
smiling, says; "Can you imagine
that. Pearsw
Better Half: eyes, l can well
imagine"
So the husband took the pears
back to the store only to find that
it was closed, so he took them
back the following day, but the
merchant would not accept them.
so back trudged the husband still
in possession of the pears.
Husband: "I'm sorry dear, but
the man would not accept Them
Better Half: We'll, here then
take these cloths, and wash every
window in the house and I'll can the
potatoes" +"

domestic scene, we see the wife

ARE WE PREPARED

Some day, maybe not tomorrow,
but soon (just like that song) this
war will end. The end may be only
year away, perhaps five or ten,
but we do feel sure it will end.
When this end comes, how many of

from reactionaries, stubborn man.

why should We?
Are we to shrink back into oo-
livion and say, "come what may,
we'll get along!"? Definitely not!
Let us get our program into full
swing and put the industrialist on
the defensive and not fall back TO
where we were in the early '30's.
This can only be accomplished
through the acceptance of facts
published by the international and
the TOLEDO UNION JOURNAL.

fact that Phil. Gubanski's picture

A GOOD JOB

A GOOD JOB
Principal of those who are doing
a good job for their union in the
shop is Johnny Dynes, executive
committeeman from Dept. 40. john
ny is one of the boys who helped US
organize and he did a good job
then, as he is doing one now. We
are proud of Johnny and hope that
we are speaking the minds of the
workers in the various departments
represented by him. We think we
are.
Melville Penn and Stanley Bar
nowski Dept. IS, borrowed so many
matches from AL Carnes that Al
went out and bought each one d
carton of the things.
Elmer Cline, the hunter from the
electrician department, got so eX-
cited when he saw a pheasant the
other day that he forgot to release
the safety on his gun. After repeat
ing the same act once more, poor
Elmer ended up with exactly 0.
A new brokerage, real estate and
loan department is now open for
business, For further particulars

the firm is, my trans are your
frans."
Bert Strayer is recovering from
fractured leg and is now hobbling
around on crutches. The electrician
department and all of US wish you
a speedy recovery Bert.
The Hawk" who operates a
crane in Dept. "a has an unerring
eve for those who come late for
work. We should get together and
buy him a nice Santa Claus outfit
to go with that bell of his. How
about it, Whitley?
Since Frank Quackenbush hurt
his back and quit bowling for three
weeks, he came back with re-
sounding 240.
Red Bull left the inspection de-
partment after keeping the boss

big boy supplied with pheasant.
Thanks to the hunters who sup
piled the display of pheasant feath-
