We think Frank Lightfoot should
have saved that bright green

Politics is creating new ad-
vertising stunts. If you do not
believe this scan the back page
of the Toledo Times on Monday,
July 7th, Governor Bricker ad-
dresses a bible class. 1t seems
strange that any good thing
that Dewey or Bricker does is
printed for the voters to read
and never a word about the
workers friends. But if Hartley
and his Blade friends know any
thing detrimental to those two
Political Ladder Climbers, you
never read or hear anything
of it. Yet, if the politicians de-
pended on the one-sided papers
in this grand country of ours to
elect any one, there would be
a great many disappointments
as we are sure the voters are
learning to think for them
selves. Nearly every daily
paper in the country is attack
ing the greatest political weap-
on that organized workers
have. Nothing else than the
P. A. c. or Political Action
Committee which is doing a
wonderful job for you and
yours truly.
We also know to keep up this
fine job that is creating so much
Mysteries among certain enemies
of organized labor, we should
dig down in our pockets and
help our leaders financially to
keep up this good job. We have
the opportunity of a life time
this year. Lets all donate and
whip our enemies so as to let
the world know we are united
and want only our friends
elected to lead us to victory and
an everlasting peace. If you are

SparkletS Champion Unit

The Champion Unit Softball
Team pounded out a 10 to 4
victory over the Willys-Over-
land team in a postponed Y. In
dustrial Softball league game
last night. Al Flogaus and
Bernie Krieger belted home
runs and Ralph Powell con-
nected for two doubles and a
single in the rout.
Following are excerpts of
letter sent to Cherie Kaptur,
secretary of the Champion Unit:
"It makes me feel very
humble and grateful that so
many of my friends continue to
even remember me after so long
an absence. l would like, if
possible, to express my thanks
to everyone who was so kind to
me during my illness The cards,
the flowers, and especially, the
well-wishes helped my morale
greatly. I never realized l was
among so many friends. Greatly
appreciating all your many
kindnesses and remembrances,
| hope to thank each and every
one for their friendliness.
'In all sincerity and with
gratitude, I remain,
Ralph L. Turner"
How does Marvin Wicks of

The bets are about even that
Weber's Dodge won't run until

Ponders

Allow us to introduce
ourselves-we are just a
small new addition to Local
IL, but at least we are
proud of it. Last March
NLRB conducted an cleo
ton which we, of Local IL,
won by a wide margin.
Since then contractual re-
lations have been estab-
lished with the aid of
"Toots" Martin, Charles
Hartramft as chairman,
and C. E. Jackson as rec
ording secretary. While our
contract is still waiting
NLRB action we already
feel more secure.
Well earne d vacation
periods are well along and
soon you will be hearing
from us quite regularly.
People are slowly but sure
ly learning the ways of
Local IL, and forgetting the
former AFL tactics.

OF Local II
POLITICAL ACTION


A good thing to remember
and a better thing to do, is to
work with the construction
gang, and not with the wreck
ing crew.
The decision of the above is
sue will depend on the kind of
President and the kind of Con-
gress we elect this year. If we
want President Roosevelt and a
Congress that will truly repre-
sent the interest of the people,
we must be registered voters,
and as voters we must vote.
We know that what we are
asking you to do will take just
few minutes of your time. We
know how little time you have
for yourselves, but we also
know how important it is for
all of us, as workers, to be
eligible to vote this November.
Register so that you vote!
BY doing this you will really
help yourself and your Govern
ment. And always remember:
1t is your government! We're
counting on you to do that little
job. And we feel certain that
you will do it and do it well.
TWO PARTY LINE
We heard that the pint of
blood which Ted Pop" Mo-
drowski, chairman of the Amer
lean Can Unit, thinks he gave
to the blood bank at st. Vim
cents Hospital two weeks ago
was not blood at all. 1t was
Bloodroot extract. The juice
from the bloodroot plant (Which
is found in the lowlands of the
4th Ward) is extracted and for
mulated into powder. Two tea
spoonfuls of the powdered root
added to a pint of boiling water
is equivalent to what Ted real
ly donated. Don't tell him
though, because he really thinks
his blood type is IV-O. We're
not sure, but the poor condition
of Pops" blood might be due
to the fact that his wife has
been in Philadelphia for the
past three weeks, and his Vic
tory Garden being overrun with
this weed; well you can draw
your own conclusion. 1t is our
honest opinion that man is
really poor, who is employed by
a can manufacturing firm and
doesn't even own a can opener.
We hope that Ted doesn't vege-
tate).
And that Tuesday, August l.,
will always be a cherished date
to Mr.. and Mrs. Raymond Ma
drzykowski, for on this day of
blessed happiness another mem
Der of the family made his first
public appearance. Ray halls
from the w. o. Unit.
And that George Greer and
Robert Rehm of the Hall Mfg.
Unit, each hope that they will
win bottle of spirits when the
18th Ward Political Action Club
holds its drawing pretty dry,
huh, boys).
PLEASE! DON'T ASK US
Why your contract omits men
ton of a wage clause which
would guarantee you $25,00O
annually?
Why Frank McRosky of Ac-
klin's Unit doesn't care very
much for swivel chairs? May
be he got throwed.
Whether or not the 14th Ward
Political Action Club will serve
free suds on Thursday, August
31st at Victory Hall, corner Bel
mont and Detroit Aves.? eve

NEED AN EXAMPLE?
The response of the people to
membership in the American
Can Unit Blood Donors Club
has been anything but encour-
aging. We hope that it will not
require an example for you
people to realize the value of
move like this. You and your
entire family may someday
need the club, but we realize
that when we mention things
like this, when you are all in
good health, you just don't give
hang.
1t will seem rather strange
to good number of the people
if you turn deaf ear to the
pleas of the Committee and
then a few days later ask where
you can get that help that will
save the life of some member
of your family.
We are only trying to give
you people something we think
you are entitled to. Will you
please be cooperative enough
to become active in this worthy
cause.
Imagine if you can, the day
when one of your loved ones
will be depending on that life
giving blood. Will it be better
at that time to wonder or would
you prefer reaching for a tele-
phone and know that you will
be served. LET'S BE PRE-
PARED.

THE WOMEN
THE EWOMEN------ Men Overseas Have Fine Time Shopping For Gifts

an who has been living alone and trying to like it for two or three years.
 No wonder the women look startled-when they see what their men folks, left entirely on their own, consider appropriate gifts.
 The only reason the women aren't used to gifts bought with such carefree masculine abandon is that when their men are at home their women see to 1t that they hapepn to know just what to buy the little woman.
 Either, when an anniversary, birthday, the woman gently steers the man Several times if he is ab- sent-minded) by a store window saying, Isn't that lovely? And wouldn't it be just right for my new srit?" Or she manages even better if her husband is the kind who turns the buying of his wife's gift over to her best friend. Then it's simple, as the best friend in variably gets in touch with the wife and says, "What do you want for Christmas? I'm going to buy your gift, and you might as well have just what you want"
 So no wonder the women are surprised at the strange things men select as gifts when they are strictly on their own.

should buy one and learn to read it. This is one of the first things you will learn to do in 8 home nursing course. If it IS not possible for you to take such course, try to find 8 professional nurse, or a well trained home nurse who will show you how to read the thermometer.
 The normal temperature is about 9S. 6 degrees in health, although 1t may be litle lower in the morning or a little higher in the afternoon. TEMPERATURES VARIES
 In illness of certain kinds a dis turbance of the heat regulating mechanism of the body causes an elevation of temperature. A slight elevation may have no great signi- ficance, unless it is accompanied by other symptoms, such as head ache, nausea, pain or cough.
 Some people will have a high temperature with 8 minor illness, and others will have low temper ature with a severe illness. Children are likely to have greater variations of temperature than adults, because the heat regulating mechanism of a child is not fully developed, and is more easily disturbed.
 It is difficult to say just when a temperature is serious and when 1t is not, because there are so many other factors about the patients condi- ton that must be considered along with the temperature. In general, 8 temperature of 100 degrees or more should be reported to the doctor, particularly if it persists for several hours or recurs repeatedly.
