ITALY SURRENDERS:
One DO,Un, TwO to Go

Five days after British and Can
adam troops stormed across the
Messina straits to land on the
Italian mainland, Italy surrendered
Internationally to Gen. Dwight
Eisenhower.
When Marshall Pietro Badoglio's
government gave up, it marked the
first split in the Rome-Berlin-
Tokyo Axis. First indications of
the Italian collapse came with the
ouster Of Benito Mussolini.
Left to hold Hitler's vaunted
European fortress were German
troops, themselves engaged in a
major retreat in Russia, and the
Nazis' smaller Balkan allies. While
,apitulation of Italy exposed CEN
tral Europe to heavy bomber at
tack, the Alpine district presented
a formidable obstacle to an Allied
ground advance into southern
Germany,
Hundreds Of thousands of her
troops killed or captured in North
Africa; her elaborate railroad sys-
TEN torn to shreds; her fair cities
smouldering in ruin, and lacking
the natural resources to carry on
war, Italy sought the easiest way
out of the conflict.

Donald Grochowski has just
passed the requirements for the
u. S. Navy. Well miss you, Don,
but our best wishes go with you.
The turnout at the parade on
Labor Day makes us wonder if you
folks believe in the old adage,
Turn about is fair play" Honestly,
now, you expect quick, strong sup
port from the Union when you have
any difficulties, so why not return
that support whenever you can :?
What about attending the next
Union meeting? Incidentally, Joe
Mroz and John (Green) Zielinski
we're the only ones attending the
parade last Monday.
Leo Snoad is still wondering if
he, as an American citizen, is al
lowed to think and act as he wants
to. Granting, Of course, that he is
harming no one. Pm all for you,
Leo, regardless of the opinions Of
few of your fellow workers.
We are all anxiously awaiting
the outcome of our Committees
meeting with the WLB last Tues
day in Cleveland. The final decision
should be announced some time in
the near future.
Sorry to hear about your acci-
dent, Bobby Orwig. Here's wishing
you speedy recovery, and hurry
back!
1t looks as though we might
have to order ear muffs for the
second-floor employees, as the floor
lady can't seem to understand that
as yet no one is deaf. Keep your
voice down, gal, before you strain
a chord.
And now for few odds and ends
from the Inverter Secret Reporter:
Hilda Asman, the supervisor who
knows an armature inside and out,
is confined to her home because Of
illness. We miss you, Hilda.
Wedding bells will ring soon and
ring will accompany the
beautiful diamond Doris Rockburn
is now wearing. Best of luck and
happiness, Doris.

From Mel Orlowski of Champ

ing school down here" he says
"More than so members signed uL
for instruction. We are lining w
several teams and coaching the

the coaches are going to have a
tough time picking out a first
team. Every member is doing his
best, and hoping for a chance to
represent his Unit in the coming
competition"
Joseph Kardos, from Acklin,
declares that his outfit is busily
engaged in remodeling last years
team and whipping them into
shape.
The early bowling fever also
brought out the aspirants of the
Auto Lite Unit. They knocked the
dust from their bowling bags and
started rolling the ball around.
Birdie Strauss asserts that their
outfit is determined to do big
things this season.
Johnnie Brug of the National
Supply Unit reports that a number
of bowlers are working industri-
ously, conditioning themselves for
the game of tenpins. The prospects
for an air-tight first place team
are good, he declares.
However, we don't devote the
entire column to bowling, as arch
cry which is the worlds oldest
known sport, is rapidly gaining in
popularity. Encouraged by a new
target and the desire to try out
their new bows and arrows, a
couple of brothers are spending
their spare time on back yard
range. These brothers are proud
possessors of new sets of footed
arrows.
