aerial damage to Halsey's fleet
in what it has termed "brilliant"

was that II American carriers, two

cruiser or destroyer had been sunk

however, were withdrawing from

Meanwhile, Vice Adm. Marc "A.

Tokyo claims by continuing to
launch their aerial fury against
the enemy's island positions.

looks as though the safety and
health features that your Com
mittee has gotten in the past
and are still working on, are
beginning to pay off.
Ella Alvermann's boy friend,
Bob Corcoran, who has COM
pleted so missions as a Radio
Gunner on a BIS, went swim
ming last Saturday night, and
while coming down the steps
from the shower, went into
a spin and dislocated his shoul-
der and skinned his knee. After
pushing his shoulder back in

safe"
A typist, in order to be good
one, has to know the ms and outs
of her machine. A lawyer has to
know law backwards and for
wards, and so it is with our
Union, to get full benefit from
your contract and different
union aims and policies, you
must take an active interest.
The meeting we have once a
month is one of the best places
to develope your knowledge of
Unionism. Incidently a democra-
tic form of government cannot
be successful unless there is an
active interest by the members.
Our meetings are the only
place your Committee can find
out what the will of the majority
is. Our next meeting is April 2,
1914, so be there and benefit.
Congratulations to Bernice

time wages are keeping lot OF
people out of Jail. That is the
conclusion of conservation de-
partment statisticians after COM
piling law violation reports from
various parts of the state for the

cases are also taking a cue from

charging ceiling prices for fines.
Game law violators now have
money to pay their fines and not

Supply
BY Shorty Sager
AROUND THE SHOP

Ted Birchill, Dept 85, recent
ly celebrated his 14th wedding
anniversary. We all wish Mr.. and
Mrs. B. many more years of
happy married life.
Mason w. Klinger of the Ma
rine Corps, who formerly work
ed in Dept. 80, was wounded IN
action in the Southwest Pacific,
according to notification which
his mother received. She was as
sured by authorities that her son
was making a satisfactory re-
covery. He has been awarded the
Purle Heart, and is in a hospital
in New Zealand.
1t seems funny that when Bill
Carioca goes home early on Sat
urday afternoon that all the
trouble accumulates around his
place where Buzz Price replaces
him.
Ted Fac, Dept. SO, needs a
bushel basket to pick up the
cards with after he loses a game.
Tough loser, that guy.
Steve Kun, employed in the
heavy warehouse, is the proud
parent of a baby girl, his seventh
child. Congrats to both parents
and keep your nose on the grind
stone, Steve.
Our Unit went $500 over its
quota in the Red Cross drive.
The collection netted $4,000. Not
bad for a bunch of working
stiffs! Thanks lot for the swell
support.
Slim StudeVin is a guy who
can really take it. Slim took one
on the chin recently and came
up fighting, which goes to prove
that he has a good chin, that he
can take it or something.
Dan Rahilly, Dept. 8, was OBJ
served picking up bottles. He
sells them for one cent each. The
following day Dan came in with
a fresh haircut. After all, there's
more than one way of skinning
cat, or getting a haircut.
We extend our sympathy to
the family of Tommy Barford,
Dept. SO, who recently died.
PIG STORY
Have you heard the latest pig
story? Stop by the Wigwam
Cafeteria and ask Chief Take-um
Back Smith all about it. Ugh?
He smells, not stinkum.
Howard Campbell, Dept. 80,
haJ just purchased a rod and
reel and is looking around for
someone with a car and suffi-
cient gasoline to take him fish
ing.
Boys in Dept. Al are wonder
ing what Bud Van Fleet is going
to do with all the junk he picked
up after the boss gave it the
pitch. He even saves broom
handles. Maybe he's going to
build cabin with the wood
Give a big hand to the Dept.
81 bowling team, which won the
shop championship under Larry
LeFevre. Following are the team
averages: Frank Wozniak, 161;

erage was 852.

The Waggin'
Tongue
of Local IL

Camera Club director, Arnold
Shenofsky, our cinema operator
and amateur heartbreaker, who
grinds the picture machine at
Local IL on THURSDAY evenings,
tells us that showing films is a
very delicate business. He states
that, THE operator must have
the knowledge of the intricacleS
of a protector. He also must
know how to thread the film,
what distance the machine
should be from the screen (thls
varies) and when necessary how
to patch a film when it breaks.
These are only three of the many
things the operator must be
familiar with. There are innu-
merable others that require
training in order to project films
that satisfy the audience.
Two efficiency engineers ar
rived at a local apartment hotel
and were shown a room. What"
asked one, docs this pig sty
COST" Promptly the desk clerk
replied: For one pig, $3.50, for
two pigs, SIS per week"
Burny ZaWodny's bowling
game has been so putrid this
past season that he's starting to
hang out with Cyrus Martin to
get some new choice words TO
use on the alleys next season,
(if any).
Trustee, Anthony Modrowski,
who toots a baritone sax with
Local 12's band blows the sweet
est notes into that thing, but the
darndest racket comes out.
The main reason why Bud Pa
cholski of w. o. dislikes those
non -chalant guys is that they
are always borrowing his cigars
to get that way.
With the way Selective Serv-
ice is taking the boys in, we
would like to suggest to the Of
ficers of our Union not to paint
names on office doors, just hang
blackboards up. The names will
go on and come off easier So
long as it is being done so often.
From all indications we be-
lieve it might be necessary for
Local II to make an addition to
its building to display all the
trophies, if the WHY'S Unit
keeps on winning all those
championships.
Don't Ask Us
What the outcome of the Black
Market Ordinance would have
been if John Dunn, President of
the Toledo Chamber of Com
Il cree was the proponent of the
measure.
Why-when Ad Thacher was
elected mayor, he gave Louie
Carpentero and Joe Lohman,
now employed at the Spicer Mfg.
Co. a job digging bitches al
Whitehouse. The boys didn't ac-
cept the jobs, although Ad owed
and still owes them plenty. He
also owes plenty to d certain
we'll known sportsman now
dead. That doesn't even the
score, but Ad has tried to for
get it.
Why Emil, the worlds worst
bartender doesn't take off his
apron and throw it at the Gus
toners any more. Ask Emil.
Maybe Local IL will inagurate
something new in bars, for in
stance, they might have a self
serve bar, it would be a lot faster
and you wouldn't have to listen
to all that lip.

Raging
The Scale
A COMMITTEEMAN

If any of the workers in the
Scale Co. employ ever belonged
to a regular union they would
have a stroke at the actions of
one of the Scale Workers Com
mitteemen who seems to think
that he is working in the inter
ests of the company instead of
the workers.
Imagine if you can, guy who
is supposed to represent the
workers putting up a beef that
job rated at $50 per month
was too highly paid. The same
job pays S199.75 in another plant
in Toledo under contract with
the UAW-CIO. If that commit
teeman had his same job in the
UAW plant, he would be tried
and kicked out of the union for
keeps.
Mr.. Fink who suggested that
girls should be hired for the
kind of work which is slated
to pay the $3.50 rate would prob
ably have a He'll of a time trying
to get a girl to do that kind of
work when she could work in a
white mans plant and make $50
per week or more.
THEY GIVE
Remember when the workers
voted some time ago that they
would rather work five days per
week to put in their 48 hours
than work five and one-half
days?
Remember how the company
fought us even when we had q
conciliator in and practically
told US to go to He'll?
Remember how one depart
ment even stayed home on Sat
urday for two weeks and the
company retaliated by laying off
the department on the grounds
that there was a shortage of
material?
Remember how the Scale
Workers just barely made it ct
the last election between it and
Local IL UAW-CIO?
Remember how the Scale
Workers are still worried about
the UAW-CIO?
So-what do you make of 1t
when the company comes along
on March % with an edict for
which President Gene Koontz
ard Jim Hanna now claim credit,
that the workers can put in their
48 hours in five days. The COM
pany certainly has lot of re-
spect for our intelligence doesn't
it? Gosh, are we dumb!
