LEGEND

cannot name the spell that has
her chained
Or why your sigh will draw no
answering sigh,
Some jester set the stage 1t
may have rained
One afternoon. and some
fine lad came by
And sat with her and watched the
dusk come on
And spoke to her as only he
could do ....
These are small hopes for her to
build upon
But she has built and it Is Ill
for you!
You cannot rout the glamour of a
night
You cannot tetar a phrase from
out the past,
Always, the hues of Memory are
bright,
Always, it is the futile hopes that
last;
One day Lad came by SO she will
wait,
And any words you say are much
too late!
DON VAIN.

The Pressed
Steel Teller

RUMORS: There has been lot
of rumors around the shop, giving
credit to one member of our EX-
ecutive Committee for the setting
of standards on jobs.
All the employees should take
credit for the setting of Stand
ards, due to the fact with the
drawing up of our last contract,
we asked for an incentive system.
The War Labor Board will not
accept form such as we asked
for, without set standard
for each job, so as to determine
the amount of bonus to be set for
each job. AS you all know since
the shop union was organized in
1941 the Committee has fought
for standards.
In all fairness to yourselves
and your fellow employees, that
credit should be given where it
is due ,and most of it is due to
the whole membership.
Who is the young Lady, who
when she goes to parties likes to

No matter where you see Drewy

While out hunting, Drewy Bean
has shot a pheasant that had a
tail which measured close to %
inches, and thus far is the longest
one turned in by any hunter for
prize. So keep your fingers
crossed Drewy, it might be the
winner.
VerlOn Goodrum, of the Mer-
chant Marines, visited the shop
last week and is still local boy
where sailing is concerned. He
said, Thanks a million for the
check" and also wishes everybody
"a Very Merry Christmas and
the Happiest of New Years"
Thanks Verlon, and the same goes
from all of us to you. And we
hope that your wife RECEIVERS.
The prospects for a headline are
frail. Our Bowling team has
nicely lost all three games last

Ohio Hunters
Out for Deer

PORTSMOUTH, Ohio, Dec. 7
The second day Of the deer hunting
season in Scioto, Pike and Adams
counties found almost as many
hunters on hand as on the opening
day. However, the line at the check
ing station at the Roosevelt Game
Preserve had dwindled down to not
more than $50 hunters when it was
opened at 5 a. m. today, in contrast
to the more than 800 that waited
long hours yesterday for the open
ing Of the station.
A check today reveals that at
least 30 deer were taken on Mon
day, 16 Of which were taken on the
10000 acre state-owned hunting
preserve. A rain which came just
before the opening gun Monday
aided hunters considerably and re-
duced fire hazards in the forest
area. Veteran deer hunters classed
Tuesdays weather as ideal.
Hotels Are Filled
Portsmouth and surrounding area
reported hotels and tourist cabins
filled. Many stayed up all night
Sunday night or slept by camp fires
and in cars in order to be in line
at the Roosevelt checking station.
Clarence Stanley, 1884 Champlain
Street, Toledo, was the first man
registered and had been in line
since 8 p. m. Sunday night. He was
a bit sleepy but happy warrior as
the doors opened for registration at
5 a. m. Monday. At least $50 were
turned away Monday, but found
other places to hunt.
The first hunter to bring a deer
to the headquarters for weighing
was Paul Ralston, North Summit
Street, Dayton, Ohio, who works
for the Republic Asphalt Paving
Co. at Dayton. 1t was a 10-point
buck.
Conservation officials called at
tention to the fact that beginning
Wednesday morning the checking
station will open at 6 a. m. instead
of a. m. The hunting season will
extend through Dec. l6.

After considerable discussion, an
agreement was reached in regard

Now we feel we have taken a step
in the right direction, but the prob
lem of getting our members in
cooperative frame of mind is still
confronting the committee.
1t is unreasonable to expect the
management to do all of the con-
tributing to this plan. 1t was asked
for by the committee and well
coined by the management, so for
complete workability of the plan,
it will require the cooperation Of

Sandwiches, refreshments, music
and dances will be the principle
features of the party which as
sures all who attend the party a
good time.
All the children Of Acklin Unit

Spot Bowling

DpOL DbN llHB
Most good bowlers pick a spot
from some point near or at the
foul line to a spot almost half
way down the bowling alley. One
bowler will find the method of
picking out a spot at the foul
line to his liking, while anotrer
prefers to pick spot or an i'm
aginary line part way down the
alley. In all cases the principle
is practically the same, although
it is generally conceded that the
individuas who pick a spot beyond
the foul line a short distance are
in the majority.
Those who employ some defi-
mite system Of spotting their ball
are by far the most proficient.
The honest-to-goodness spot
bowler who refrains from looking
at the pins until after the ball
has left his hand and attempts to
put the ball down on a certain
spot at the foul line may be COM
pared with the golfer who keeps
his head stationary and his eyes
concentrated on the golf ball
throughout the swing, in order to
maintain a center of balance and
to keep from throwing his stroke
out of alignment.
Many expert bowlers call their
spots by so many boards, one pre-
ferring a point eight or nine
boards from the edge of the alley
while another chooses 10 or II
boards in from the edge.
Don't Watch Pins
The Importance Of spot bowling
cannot be over-emphasized, as 1t
has a decided advantage over
"pin" bowling where the indivi-
dual keeps his eyes on the pins
during the delivery of the ball.
The individual who looks at the
pins only, when delivering the
ball, just hopes that his ball will
roll into the one-three pocket,
when as matter Of fact, he is
ony haphazardly throwing the bail
out on the alley in the general
direction of the pins. He has no
idea as to the particular spot
where the ball should be placed,
and he cannot do so consistently
when he is looking at another
place beyond this point or beyond
the spot over which he should
cause his ball to roll,
Bear this thought in mind. En-
deavor to control your ball by al
ways knowing where you start it
and how you roll it, being certain
to concentrate on the proper
rhyth, timing and follow through
as we'll as drawing an imaginary
line from the foul line to the spot
out on the alley over which you
intend to have your ball roll
In attempting to illustrate the
different angles at which the
bowling ball is rolled by those
who employ the various deliveries,
such as straight, backup, hook and
curve, it is necessary to eXagger-
ate the angle because it is impos-
sible to show an alley in the
proper proportion.
We have suggested the neces-
sity of definitely determining one
of number of methods of rolling
the ball into the one-three pocket
by means of four distinct de-
1iyeries

BLOWING

In recent weeks, we have used
this space to pay tribute to those
who have helped build our union
and kept it strong. We must not
forget some of those, who, al
though not members Of our union,
have also aided us in maintaining
our organization.
One of the men who has been
of considerable aid to us in keep
ing our union on its toes is our
superintendent of industrial rela-
tions. This gentleman, we pre-
sumo he is a gentleman, has been
spouting and blowing about what
will happen to us after the war
and the company gains full con-
troll" No better argument could
be made than this mans TO show
as the reason we must maintain
and increase our strength.
Some of the insolent decisions
and lousy notices which have been
posted have given us additional
reasons for keeping ourselves
strong, as though we needed any.
It's hard to understand how such
a smart man could employ so
many dumb and incompetent peo-
pie as he says we have working
here. The old saying, that "whom
the gods would destroy they first
render blind" must be first pre-
ceded by snobbery which has no
basis other than ignorant egotisn
parading under the guise of educa-
ton and would-be culture.
