The
AckIinite
by Lewis MattOA

In behalf Of the Executive
Committee wish to thank the
workers of Acklin, for their
splendid support of our collection
for the boys in the service. This
includes the office workers, who
went along 1004o. From time to
time let's drop them a few lines
and make sure they get our
Union Paper.
Brother Frank Young who is
recuperating from having his
tonsils removed at Toledo Hos
pital was trying to organize the
Nurses in the good old CIO.
that's pitching, Brother, keep it
up.
Spring - is in the air - sis
ter Myrtle Mucci who was off
for some time due to illness, is
sure feeling good these days.
Boy how this girl was logged
out for Easter.
May Burdee is the girl who
makes the coffee on the second
shift, and oh boy, they tell us it
is really good.
Jessie Kurdys is on a leave of
absence, due to illness. Here's
hoping to see her back soon.
It is very funny to hear the
remarks of a few of our mem
bers in regards to our Officers
and Contract. They always cri-
ticise, but if you ask them to do
their part in helping they al
ways have TO do something else
If they really want to help, they
should familiarize themselves
with our contract, and constitu-
ton. Also they should under
stand that the place we make
our policy for the shop is at our
Unit Meetings. If they do not
attend they vote in the majority
In the case of new people com
ing to our shop and wishing to
become members, introduce
them to the Executive Commit
tee to be signed up.
Has anybody noticed
service we are getting t
days from Buddies??? Ruma.
has it that our company is
planning on enlarging our pre-
sent stand, it would be vcrH nice
boys and girls, but the Ga dol
lar question is, When???
They tell us that Brother
Louis Aubry in the Die Shop is
from Down on the Farm. That S
ok. but Louie, with the price of
all the things you buy these
days, everybody would like to
be a farmer.
Tony Koncevicz is the boz
from the Shell Line, who always
wants to know, what's cooking?
Boys, take a look at those
gentlemen from the Die Shop
playing Ping Pong at noon
Since the gallery has formed
they are sure hitting that little

Even a dog doesn't eat meat
on Good Friday" say the Irish,
but in the American Can cafe
terra we had more meat on that
day than we did all week.
We believe that any level

ganize a schedule to conform
with some of the rules that peo-
pie in the plant follow, such as
abstaining from meat on Friday.
If we must have meatless days,
and we don't know why we

common sense in drawing up the

KIND SOULS AREN'T THEY

You people no doubt saw the
article in the paper the other
day concerning the plan our kind
and thoughtful company has con-
corning the boys in service. They
will place them on jobs that viii
parallel their service training so
that what they have learned in
the Army or Navy will be util-
lied in their civilian life. We
ave no objections whatsoever,
we do believe the company
amembers seniority and the
-ma GER of the contract.
The thing that makes this plan
hard % believe is the fact that
tn boys in service were forgot
ter in the company's vacation
plan of last year Why the sud-
den about face? Maybe we will
be able to do business with the
new president of the American
Can Co, namely, Mr.. Figis. We
have reason to believe he may
be a right guy and understands
that we too are human and have
the ability to think as well as
work.

HUGE CAST OF
 STARS IN FILM,
 10TH CENTURY

'Tales of Manhattan" is cine ma achievement of rare distinction. It has enough stars and thrills and suspense and lauglSter for ten pie lures. It is fabulous entertain ment. Heretofore we were more than content to have, say, Charles Boyer and Rita Hayworth, in a photoplay. But now 20th Century Fox comes along with an unbeliev- ably generous film that is calcul- ated to spoil film fans for some time to come.
 All of these are in the picture showing now at the 20th Century Boyer and Miss Hayworth, Ginger Rogers, Henry Fonda, Charles Laughton, Edward G. Robinson Paul Robeson, Ethel Waters, "Ro- chester" and many, many more And the story is so great. there's plenty of work for all of them! You can't afford to miss it!

TEACHERS COULD VACATION HERE,
 SAYS KINGSLY

Irving R. Kingsly, secretary surer of the American Federation of Teachers, from Chicago, was guest speaker at the Juneau Chamber of Commerce meeting this noon in the Gold Room of the Baranof Hotel.
 He spoke highly of the tourist attractions in this area and said it was probable that a vacation plan for teachers could be worked out for Southeast Alaska, saying the education they could receive in summer here would be more valu- able than six weeks in summer school in the States.
 Kingsly pointed out the business value in better education in not only cutting down the juvenile de- linquency and crime which costs the United States billions each year, but in the war effort today and the transition in the postwar period.
 He complimented the Territory on the foundation for education which is being built in Alaska.
 K. G. Merritt conducted the meeting in the absence of President Homer Garvin and Vice-P President Jack Fletcher.
 Frank Dufresne introduced Jack OConnor, formerly of Anchorage, new Executive Officer for the Alas ka Game Commission, who spoke briefly.
 Dufresne reported that when he gets to Chicago for his new assign ments with the Fish and Wildlife Service, he will pc on the committee for the Outdooi Writers of America who want to Hold their next con- vention in Alaska, and said if he has anything to do about it, the convention will be held in Juneau

 The Chamber also is cooperating with Ketchikan in attempts to se- cure equitable fish prices for Alas ka, although a wire has been re- ceived from the OPA stating that no changes are contemplated in prices already set, other than an investigation of breakage.
 Frank Hermann reported two men are. in Juneau investigating the pos sibility of investing in marine ways in Juneau and full report will be made next week by Her. mann.
