On Shop Committee

Locul Denotes $4,000 To Aid
Convolescent Soldiers
At Camp Reynolds

We were very glad to see such fine
turnout of liners from Homer Laugh
lin Plant No. at our last meeting,
and hope they will be with us every
Tuesday night throughout the winter.
Their attendance not only cleared up a
bad situation existing in that plant,
but proved the value Of having IA shop
committee that is active. Too many
times do we hear, what Is the local
going to do about this and what has
the local done about that, when MEM
bers meet at the football game or on
the street corners to discuss shop con-
ditiOnS.
1t was very plain to everyone at the
meeting what the local will or will
not do when they are properly in
formed of any violation Of our agree
ment. All we ask is bring it to the local
yourself for settlement. do not tell
your benchmate to report it and thea
ask him next day what action the
local took.
President Armstrong appointed the
following as the new liners shop com
mttee for Plant No. Z: Byron Lunger,
James Hadley and Edna Shay.
After reading of the hardships that
our cOnvaleScent soldiers at Camp
Reynolds are forced to undergo in last
weeks Herald, the local voted to make
a cash donation of 5000 to this
worthy cause The trustees We're in
structed to get in touch with Red Cross
officials
1t was mentioned at the meeting that
it has been some time since we have
held Il social and the president in
structed the entertainment committee
to have some suggestions to offer at
our next meeting. Sister Ola Weaver
is chairman of this committee and we
are sure she will be on the job.
We were informed that Brother jim

ored At Banquet

Cambridge, OhiO.-LOcal Union 122
met on September % at the Moose hall
with president James Coffey, presiding.
Brother Coffey made his report on
the conference in East Liverpool, and
judging by his remarks, the members
of the National Brotherhood of Oper-
ative PotterS desire vacation period
comparable with what has been
adopted in other industries.
The legislative committee reported
contracting our congressman and con-
veying our opposition to any applica-
ton of sales tax and compulsory
labor in private industry threaten by
the WadswOrth bill. s.sl
We hear over the radio and through
the press that this war is labor's war.
While labor has accepted the reSpOn-
sibility of producing the necessary sup
plies for our soldiers, labor has had
economic, such as rubber or mineral
monopoly. Seldom has labor had q
voice in peace settlements, but always
get stripped of social gains in wake
of war.
The industrial and labor readjust-
ment of reduction of postwar jobs, to
be shared among returning soldiers and
released war workers, results in Il loss
of influence for labor unions, and de-
clining wages.
Members of the Universal Pottery
team, softball champions, and mana
ger Delbert Watkins, were royalty
entertained at a banquet given in their
honor at the Berwick hotel by II. w.

Local Union No 9 met as usual on

attended, possibly due to the football
game at the stadium. But that does
not explain the dwindling attendance
at several recent meetings.
Perhaps the recent passage of the

of the War Labor Board in freezing

carded spade and South won with
the ace.
South laid down the diamond ace
next, but did not continue the suit.
He was quite sure, both from Vests
five-club bid, which showed freakish
distribution, and from East's double,
that all the remaining trumps were
held by East. Apparently this
would give East two trump tricks
plus the spade ace and defeat
the contract. But South had other
plans.
A low spade was led to dummy's
king. East won and returned a
spade and South took the queen
and jack, discarding dummy's club.
Then the ace and king of hearts
were taken and the jack led. East
covered and South trumped. South
trumped his last spade in dummy,
discarded club on the heart 10
and then led the heart 9.
East trumped this with the dia-
mond nine, but South simply threw
away his club. Now East had to
lead a diamond away from the
queen and South won the remaining
| tricks.

I often saw Lightfoot while his new
horns were growing" retorted
Jumper.
"All right! I'll believe anything
that Lightfoot tells me If you say
it is true declared Peter, who
greatly admired his Cousin Jumper.
Now tell me about those rags cling
ing to your horns, Iightfoot. Please
do"
Lightfoot couldn't resist that
please Those rags are what Is
left OF kind of covering which
covered the horns while they were
growing, as 1 told you before" said
he. Very soon, after my old horns
dropped off the new ones began to
grow. They were not hard, not at
all like they are now. They were
soft and very tender, and the blood
ran all through them just as it does
through Our bodies. They were
covered with a sort of skin with
hairs on it like thin fur. The ends
were not sharp pointed as they now
are, but were big and rounded, like
knobs. They were not like horns
at all and they made my head hot
and were very uncomfortable. That
Is why hid away. They grew very
fast, 50 fast that every day I could
see by looking at my reflection in
water that they were a little longer.
1t seemed to me some times as II all
my strength went into those new
horns. And I had to be very careful
not to hit them against anything.
In the first place 1t would have
hurt and in the second place 1t
might had spoiled the shape of my
horns
When they had grown to the
length YOU now see they began to
shrink and grow hard. The knobs
on the ends shrank until they be-
came pointed AS soon as they
stopped growing the blood stopped
flowing up in them, and as they be-
came hard they were no longer ten
der. The skin which had covered
them grew dry and split and
rubbed it of on trees and bushes.
The little rags you see are what is

1t is hard to believe what seems
impossible. And yet what seems i'm
possible to you may be a very COM
monplace matter to some one else
So 1t does not do to say that thing
cannot be just because you cannot
understand how it can be. Peter
Rabbit wanted to believe what
Lightfoot the Deer had just told
him, but somehow he couldn't be-
lieve it. You see, Lightfoot had just
told Peter that the splendid great
horns which crowned Lightfoots S
head were new and mad grown that
summer. Do you wonder that Peter
found this hard to believe? If he
had seen them growing it would
have been another matter. But he
hadn't seen Lightfoot since the very
last Of the winter and then Light
foot had had just such handsome
horns as he now wore, so he really
culdn't be blamed for not being able
TO believe that those had been lost
and In their place new ones had
grown in just the few months of
spring and summer.
So when Peter had asked him
about the rags hanging to his horns,
Lightfoot had told Peter that he
didn't like to tell things to people
who wouldn't believe what he told
them, And Peter didn't blame
Lightfoot in the least. I'm trying
TO believe it" he said quite humbly.
TITS all true" broke in another
voice. Peter jumped and turned
to find his cousin, Jumper the Hare,
sitting near. Unseen and unheard
he had stolen up and had overheard
what Peter and Lightfoot had said
How do you know it is true?'
snapped Peter a little Grossly, for
Jumper had startled him.
Because I saw Lightfoots old
horns after they had fallen off and

Lightfoot tossed his head proudly
and ratified his wonderful horns
against the nearest tree. isn't he
handsome?" whispered Peter to
Jumper the Hare. And did you
ever hear of anything so wonderful
as the growing Of those new horns
in such short time? 1t is hard to
believe, but Suppose 1t must be
true"
1T is," replied Jumper land I
tell you, Peter, would hate to have
Lightfoot try those horns on me
even though I were as big as a man.

Como la gaita parece haber sido
