DEPT. sos. SECOND SHIFT


To the boys of the aluminium
forge shop. We on the End shift
offer you our fullest sympathy as
we know what it is to work in
smoke, steam, grease, etc. We
have had several bills on this con-
dition before the w. o. company
during the past year or so, and all
we got is a promise that it will be
eliminated as soon as they get
around to it.
Some of our boys are on the
verge Of asking for fog horns and
lights along with gas masks. That
invitation to the "brass hats" to
come in some night goes for sos
department too. Also, those "tech-
nical engineer" that installed our
present system of ventilation. No
doubt those T. E.'s are praying
for summer so we can open a few
skylights and windows and they
can have peace another month or
so.
Remember "E" Day, when the
gentleman said, we all have a job

Also glad to hear that you don't
have to walk as much as you used
to. To my way of thinking
every Executive Committeeman
should have jeep for his use. But,
on second thought, a walk through

a tendency to make you soft.

member of your family comes to
the Employment Office and signs
for you so that you will have a
Leave of Absence issued to you,
or send in a registered letter. You
are only allowed five (5) days and
then you get paid off for non-at-

you have thirty (30) days in, and
get sick, and do not follow this
procedure, do not blame anyone but
yourself. That is the contract and
we cannot help you.

JUDGE NOT LEST YOU TOO

The other day ran into a buddy
of mine. hadn't seen him since he
enlisted in the Air Corps two years
ago. He had taken leave from the
shop and gone away with his
heart set on becoming fighter
osilot with the we'll wishes of his
AFT llow workers ringing in his ears.
J, 1e didn't make the grade as a
fighter pilot but after a years
hard training he came out of
school as a first class bombardier.
He was all set to go and do his
part in winning this war for US.
Then the blow fell. The doctors
told him that he had high blood
pressure and was in no shape to
stand high attitudes. So, it was
either back home to await induc-
tion into the army or remain there
on the ground and see others at
tain the goal he had tried so hard
to attain. So, back home he came
and back to work to try to forget.
But he didn't get a chance to for
get. His friends couldn't under
stand how he felt. They wanted to
talk about his experiences and he
didn't. So he left them, gave up his
seniority and came to the Over
land. Now / know that l have
asked several fellows why they
weren't in the Army, without think
ing that maybe they have done or
are doing more than l am to win
this war. And, know that lot of
you have done the same. 1t is hard,
] know, for father to understand
why his sons are gone while others
remain. Well, someone asked this
boy that question. He told me that
he didn't know whether to smack
the fellow that asked him or go
down and enlist again and get it
over with. So, think that the best
we can do is do our work well and
leave the drafting Of men to the
draft boards.

Germans Suffer
Triple Blows
As Year Closes
Ry LOUIS +. KEEMLE,
limited precS War ANALYST

Allied might has dealt Germany
three body blows in the closing
week of 1943, a fitting curtain
raiser of 1914, the year set for her
utter defeat.
Foremost is the smashing Russian
drive west of KieV, coupled with
mounting offensiyes in White Rus
sia and the Dnieper bend, either or
both of which may develop with
equal power.
IN KIEV SECTOR
In the Kiev sector, the situation
has got out of German control and
the enemy faces the possibility of
his worst military defeat of the war,
there and on the entire southern
front down to the Black Sea. Else
where the Germans have lost the
initiative and military men see
little prospect that they can regain
it, except perhaps locally and to a
limited extent.
In the west, too, the German
number is on the board. In the
wake of a devastating aerial assault
on the already partly-ruined Ger
man capital Allied bombers smash
ed by day and night at the channel
coast Of France and struck in great
force into industrial southwestern
Germany.
The bombardment of the channel
coast was on a heavier scale than
even the massed assault of a week
ago, when it was assumed that it
might have been aimed at enemy
emplacements for secret weapon
such as a super rocket gun.
That still may have been partly
the purpose, since Allied military
men do not consider it impossible!
that the Germans have developed
new weapon, or greatly improved
the effectiveness of existing rocket
projectileS.
r. The third blow at Germany was
naval, consisting of the sinking of
the battleship Scharnhorst in the
Arctic and at least three destroyers
in the Bay of Biscay. British mill
tary observers regard these sinkings
as of extreme Importance, quite
beyond the material loss. 1t will
have a most disheartening effect,
they believe, not only on Ger
many's civilian morale but on her
military leaders.

Rubber Problems

Unfounded rumorS about rubber
were exploded, and what he declar-
ed to be the facts about the tire
situation were explained Thursday
by William j. Campbell, district
manager of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company in an address be-
fore the FL Centre Rotary club.
That the United States has ham
died its rubber problem so well,
and has the situation in hand
was due to the far-sightedneSS of
Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones
and the efficient planning OF the
rubber industry, said the visiting
executive who was in FL Centre
ThurSday visiting company outlets.
BUILT UP STOCKS
Jones, Campbell said, was re-
sponsible for having a sizeable stock
pile at the start of war A year
before Pearl Harbor, this country
had a reserve of only some 200
million tons, which was built Up by
Jones to more than 600 million
tons by the time the JapS attacked.
Campbell said
Due to the effectiveness of the
rationing program. this reserve,
plus limited imports and the de-
velopment of synthetic rubber pro-
duction, the country has been able
to weather two years of war and
will be enabled to carry on during
1914, Campbell declared. i.
The year 1914, according to Camp
bell, will see:
Truck tires-Serious and critical
situation. Methods have not yet
been perfected for using synthetic
rubber in truck tires.
Farm tires-Ample if every farmer
avoids unnecessary wear and usage.
Passenger tireS-Situation Strin-
gent, but we will get by, though
everyone must realize the task is
difficult
The situation will be materially
relieved, Campbell believed, if the
war in Europe comes to an end
during the year.
Campbell scotched several rumors.
He declared that reports to the
effect that this country is getting
rubber from Japan through neutral
countries are completely untrue
1t is also untrue, he said, that we
have many years supply of scrap
rubber on hand. AT present rate
OF consumption, he estimated there
is enough for only 20 months.
Campbell was presented by j. B.
McNeece, chairman of the day.

sided during the business session.
