The urge to acquire wealth has
been the prime factor in most peo-
ple's diligence toward their work.
Regularity on the job was the only
way their end could be gained.
These same people would do well
to consider the effect of Irregular
ity on the job at this time.
The workers diligence on the
job is as important factor in the
winning of the war as our armed
forces are. Without victory we
cannot hope to retain all the
things for which we have striven.
People absent from work are
definitely performing service for
our enemies. Let's not help them
here at Champion.

about his title Detail Man." He

Following is the first letter re-
ceived in answer to the recent gifts
sent to the boys in the service
from our shop. Corp. Ray Ma
dolny says: addressed to Porce-
lain Unit)
Dear Brothers:
Received your letter and money
order Of Feb. /, and was very glad
to hear from you. Your money
order was welcome but your letter
was more. 1t was a big surprise
when l opened your letter and
found it was from you. l assure
you l think more of the letter than
of the money. Even though / think
it was swell of you.
In your letter you said you wish
you could send more. / would like
to give you my opinion of that
statement. 1t is not the money
that counts now. There is some
thing every one of US in the serv-
ice wants more than money. It's
things that would end this war,
such as tanks, guns, planes, etc.
So you see, brothers, it's not money
we are here for. It's a job that
has to be done and done right. With
the war workers doing all they can
do that's possible, should think
the Axis will be doomed in the
near future.
I'm feeling fine, hope you all
are, too. The only thing l have to
say is that I'm sorry not to have
been with those buddies of mine
that started the fire in the Solo
mons. Much to my regret, / was
left behind here on the island. Was
told I will be leaving shortly. Would
have given anything to have been
in the thick of the Solomons.
Very sorry to find cut the Por-
celain has only 25 working at the
present time. Sure must be tough
since I left in al.
Thanks for wishing me luck in
your letter cause I'll need it in the
very near future, so I've been told.
I've been here a long time and |
want to do my part overseas.
In closing l want to thank you
again for the swell letter and
check, / remain, yours truly,

mittee announces that additional

worker turn out on this day and
vote for the men who in your own
mind will make the officers you
would have to lead your union for
the coming term.
The same thing should apply
to our own shop election of COM
mitteemen to be held at our regu-
lar meeting in March. In casting
your ballot your vote should re-
fleet the feeling you honestly hold
in your mind and not let your bet
ter judgment be swayed by a few
insincere remarks that might be
passed by few who profess to be
real union-minded members; but in
their own hearts have been known
in the past to have worked in op-
position to the interest of the men,
bers.

DEPT. 1Os, SECOND SHIFT

A couple of weeks ago, the
Journal mentioned "Old Silverfoot"
Smiths name. Now after careful
examination of his family tree, or
should we say bush, we found him
to be a distant relative of the Old
Baron Munchausen. So, from now
on, he will be know as the Baron.
1t would be worthwhile to know
what the shade of the original
Baron would have to say. If he
could hover around the old shop
for a few nights, my guess is, he
would beat a hasty retreat back to
his old resting place, satisfied in
his own mind, that during his life
on earth, he was rank amateur.
Now, here is little anecdote told
by the irrepressible Baron. Now
we have a man working in our de-
pdTIUlSIlL IudL udilS L1OIl AOiihSo-
see. But it would be against all
rules of etiquette to divulge his
name. The Baron now speaking,
"You know, down where this man
comes from, they don't wear no
underwear or socks. So, afkSr he
got married, his wife boughH him
couple suits of underwear and
placed them on the bed for his ap-
proval, but to her chagrin, he sol
emnly remarked, Woman, you
certainly done spend my money
foolishly. can't swim lick"
The Baron still speaking, "Short-
ly after this mans arrival in To-
ledo, he purchased a pair of shoes.
Now these shoes hurt his feet, so
in order to ease his aching feet,
and make himself feel at home, he
put gravel in his Shoes"

You men of the forge shop who
did not read Claude Hess article
in the Toledo Union Journal better
get yourself a copy and read it
closely. You men of the forge have
received as much from your Union
as any department in the WHY'S

probation by getting behind the
Union that has done so much for
You. Contact that feeling of put
ting something in, not just how
much you can take out. Attend
