which the people who make up
Local II have set for their pur-
pose when peace has been won.
More recognition for labor as
a great contributor to the life
and welfare of this city, state
and nation is the objective
which Local u constantly seeks.
Secure in the knowledge that
it is the greatest organization in
this city and state, Local II has
demonstrated, and continues to
demonstrate, that it has all the
qualifications for success and
that ii shall succeed in the
future as it has in the past, be-
cause it contains within itself
all the elements, the men and
women with the hearts and
brains to bring it to the pinnacle
to which it continues its steady

Cooperation with the War
Chest has not merely involved
the giving of funds to this wor-
thy project; but in taking an
active part in determining the
policies of the organization.
Nor has the cooperation and
active participation of Local AZ
ended with the War Chest.
Other agencies have received
fullest support including the
War Manpower Commission, the
Red Cross, the Office of Price
Administration, infantile para
lysis fund drive, and the Old
NewsboyS Good Fellow Associa-
ton.
No organization in Toledo has
contributed more to War Bond
purchases than the thousands of
4 fembcrs of Local IL who have
purchased millions OF dollars
worth of bonds on the payroll
deduction plan, and will con-
tinue to buy them until the end
of the war.
Numerous plants affiliated
with the local have received the
Minute Man flag for more than
80 per cent participation in War
Bond purchases, proof that the
men and women who man the
machines h a t produce the
equipment and materiels of war,
are backing the attack with
their dollars as well their skill
and workmanship.
Thousands of Local II mem
bers proudly wear the Army
Navy "E" on their lapels and
overalls, the outward sign of re-
p ,ognition which workers have

their lob of war production to
the satisfaction of the govern
ment. More than $4,000 Local
12 members have the right to
display the "E" badge for ex-
cellence in production and they
wear il with justifiable pride.
Hundreds of enlistments to
the Navy Seabees which landed
Toledo in the top spot in the ma
ton were obtained through the
efforts of the Local IL news
paper. the TOLEDO UNION
JOURNAL, and the cooperation
and aid of the many Units of
the Local.
Navy enlistments in the

wound in his shoulder has healed,
but the piece of shrapnel has not

follow later. In the meantime, the
doctors discovered a condition ex-
listing which required further surg
ical attention. Word has been re-
ceived that the operation was sue
cessful and Pfc. Minner is now re-
cuperating at Replacement De-
pot, where he will likely remain
until he has fully recovered.
We know that all of Bills friends
in this, and other areas, will want
to drop him a letter and wish him
the best. So we're printing his ad-
dress in this weeks issue of Drib-
bles expressly for that purpose.
Unfortunately we cannot give it
completely, so please get in touch
with us and we will furnish the
balance by return mail.
Folks, maybe you don't know it,
but when a fellow gets sort OF
banged up, he sure does appreciate
hearing from back home. Why not
make this special Bill Minner, Jr
week. Let's see just how many
different persons can do their bit in
the way of a letter to a fellow who
right now needs a friend. And
while your turning this idea over

will give many of Edwards friends
the tip-off on how this young sailor
feels about the part he is playing
in this war. Certainly his letter
sounds quite cheerful as to the fu-
ture. Apparently he is more wor-
ried about what you will be think
ing, than he is about his own safe
ty. Bless their stout, young
hearts; so many of our Boys seem
to feel that same way. Well, it is
sure an indication that Boys who
write in this manner are up to the
peak on that little thing called
morale. More power to them for
it. IT'S a grand bunch of lads that
we home frontiers have fighting for
us in this war. They may not all
come back wearing medals for
bravery, but every one of them are
heroes to my way of thinking.
Please tell the two Boys that
I've been asking about them the
next time you send letter in their
direction. You might also add that
I'm wishing them both the very
best of luck and hope that every
thing will break swell for them
from here on out.
Thank you for the use of Ed

being returned to you by mail. II

Back in 1926, an artist in Munich,
where Mann was then living, asked him
to write an introduction to portfolio of
illustrations depicting the story of Joseph,
the son of Jacob. He looked up the story
in an old family Bible, and experienced
what he describes as "an indescribable
fascination" towards his subject. Subse-
quently Mann made archaeological excur-
sons to Egypt and Palestine, revisiting the
places where the story of Joseph is laid.
As result of his researches and medita-
tons, he wrote Joseph and His Brothers"
