for members of the Key West

While many firemen took the

did not attend all the classes and
a few others were not present at

Whether or not there will be
any more classes. Chief Torres

BayCarpenters in

Strike over Wages

Continued from Page II
Bav Council of Carpenters signed
contracts with the Associated Cen

cents day raise last November l.
and another effective next May ID.
These two raises, WeiSe said, would
have brought journcymens wages
to Sl2 a day.
When wages we're frozen, the

appeal resulted in a rehearing and

raise for the Bay Council Carpen-
ters but refusing it for Contra Co.'S

FAVORITE FIGHTER

His favorite fighting man is the
buck private.
The private who is out there
getting shot at does most of the
work in this war;" he says. He
gets damned little credit out OF It,,
too. A man can be as ferocious as
hell back home on three hot meals
a day, but it takes CUTS to live in
a foxhole in the rain, eating cold
rationS."
His attitude toward the common
soldier is one of fatherly interest.
but he has the most cauStic tongue
in the army when he is eating
out" an officer who has made a
mistake. Patton's fluent cursing is
known throughout the army, and a
typical example of it occurred early
in the North African campaign. He
commanded the task force that
occupied CaSablanca and ran into
the stiffest fighting of any unit. A
few days later he went to Allied
headquarters and was persuaded to
hold a press conference to tell
about conditions in his sector.
His report consisted of one SEN
tence:
Everything is God-damned quiet
in CaSablanca."
