PEP MAY HAVE TOUCH GOINC'
 AGAINST ORTIZ
BY JACK FROST

United Press StaGE C0Fre8p0muenS
 Boston, July l7. CUp)-World Featherwelght Champion Willie Pope of Hartford, Conn, thumbs his broad nose at fate at Braves field tonight when he steps 10 rounds with Worlds Bantamweight King Manuel Ortiz a merry Mexican with murder in his heart.
 Perhaps 10000 fans will dump some sl0,00o through the ticket wickets for this battle of champions which should prove conclusively which Of this pair is the worlds greatest fighter of this day and age. pound for pound.
 Pep, a 22-year-old veteran of World War IT, has been installed as the favorite and win enter the ring at odds of ten to eight or nine on the basis of a record which has seen him win 70 of his 75 bouts. His only defeat was at the hands of Lightweight King Sammy Angott and ringsiders were not in agree ment on the outcome of that his- toric bout.
 OrtlE Keen Fee
 Tonight. however. he will be fac- ing for the first time a champion in a lesser class and one who in three years has built up reputa- tion fully as impressive as Pep's. Never defeated. he has knocked out Ie opponents whipped i7 others and accepted only one draw in 36 fights.
 Pep has been a little chary of de. tending his crown and in a year placed it on the line only once match in the same spot where he fights tonight and in which he soundly beat Sal Bartolo Ortiz, however, has complete disregard Of his title having defended 1t 10 times including eight In one year.
 Considered as great a boxer as the ring ever has produced, Pep will rely almost completely on speed and deception. He lacks a real solid punch and knockouts are as scarce in his record as ration coupons.
 On the other hand. Ortiz has reached the top almost exclusively on the authority contained in his right first. Though he can box in fair fashion, his greatest delight Is to move in close and rip at his op- p0nent with both hands.
 Vets Helped
 Bcnefiting from tonigllt'S fight will be the wounded veterans oi World War IT confined in New Eng land hospitals who will receive 10 per cent of the top after state and federal taxes are paid.
 Although Pep Is installed as favorlte, the bout has brought plenty of worry to his camp. Manager Lou Viscllsi contends his charge has nothing to win and everything to lose and might well have picked up plenty of cash with an easier op" ponent.
 T think T made 8 poor match when ! signed Willie to meet Ortiz," " he said with lines of worry ereas- ing his broad jowls. 'T wish the bout was over. ! think managers take more of a beating before a bout than their boxers. hope Pep will bail me out"

his happened some time ago
but it's still good. Tom Adair $
small baby had been visiting
with some of the out of town
relatives and was due in Toledo
on the bus in the care of one of
the auntS. Toms wife supplied
him with the necessary equip
ment and hurried him off to
meet the bus. The bus was late,
the station was crowded, the
weather was hot. Tom looked
at the scenery, fidgeted and,
above all, perspired. He ex-
tracted the contents of his pocket
and mopped his rather high fore
head. A few people began to
giggle and one fellow laughed
out loud Sensing that he was
the center of attraction, Tom
glared about belligerently until
finally it dawned upon him that
he had been wiping his face with
a pair of dainty little panties
thoughtfully provided by his
wife for fear the trip had been
too long for the baby.

Sue Whitten, Dept. 2 time
keeper continues TO insist that
the TOLEDO UNION JOURNAL
is the most Informative paper
she's ever read and we can't help
but agree with her.
We overheard a remark the
other day that really hit the
spot and here it is, The only
reason Rome wasn't built IN a
day was because Cameo supervi-
sion wasn't bossin the job" But
then when you think of the atti-
tude they have toward people,
maybe it would never have been
built" Quite clever old timer,
you speak with wisdom.
PRAYER OF THE WEEK
God bless this great country
of ours with its blossoming
cities, towns and villages. but Oh
Lord! Why must we be plagued
by In the space that is
blank you can insert your pet
plague the writer has his and no
doubt you have yours.)
THE TIME is NOW
Picture if you can, the earn
estness with which our boys in
service faced that grim task that
had to come, yes that day we all
wished for, but with a certain
fear-D-Day. They have a tre-
mendous job before them and
we at home are supporting them
with more enthusiasm than ever.
We know they will do their jobs
and do it we'll, but what will the
reward be for those Who will re-
turn to us? Will we ask them
to fight for us again or will we
get busy now and build our
Union to a point where the boys
can come back home, shake your
hand and say, IF this is what
we fought for, it sure was worth
fighting for"

Alta BOY

Those of us who heard our
own Bruce Melvin of the Trans
portation Committee on WTOL
Sunday, June 4th, wish to con-
gratulate him on the commend
able way he handled his part in
the program. Naturally we're
proud to have a budding radio
announcer in our midst. A little
investigation has revealed that
this was not Bruces first ac-
quaintance with the mike. ~
Anyway we think he did okay.
SOLDIERS FUND
To those of you who have
contributed SO willingly to the
weekly collection for the SOL
diers' fund, and again when il
was necessary to raise the con-
tributions to 25 cents per per-
son, we express our sincere
thanks. Needless to say, most
of you do realize what check
for $4,000 means to a fellow who
must leave everything behind
Some of the others who have
been offering such slim excuses
as, when that fellow gives,
then l will too" or Il forgot my
money today" must at times
feel little ashamed of these
shallow alibis. Those who use
these excuses know what they
are. l wonder how far we would
get in our offensives if our boys
kept saying IF the other sol
dier will, then l will too?"
Don't be the last to give, be
the first. Then the other fellow
will follow up. Let's back the
boys. Have that quarter ready
when the steward comes by with
the box next Monday. 1t is his
job to go around and take up
these collections and listen to
these "Alibi likes" However, he
knows it's for a good cause and
he doesn't mind doing it for the
boys.
A little note to the foreman
in department B:
Seems to us that when the
steward or committeeman is
talking to member it would
show little courtesy and horse
sense if he would keep out of
the conversation until asked to
get into it. Remember George?
More about that fishing trip:
When Chuck johnson, George
Roberts, DeWayne Wisebaker
and Cap Andrews went on this
much talked about fishing holi-
day, they were fortunate enough
to have guide with them
George Roberts, Well, it seems
that George was the one who
knew where to fish, but as it
turned out George was the only
one who didn't know HOW to
fish.
Incidently, when the boys ar
rived at the cabin, Cap was the
first one to go in. The first
thing he saw was, an old rocking
chair. Well, that was where Cap
sat for 4 days in the old
rocking chair, slipping "Old Mr..
Boston Rocking Chair" and "just
a rocking"
AS for Wisebaker, the only
boy who caught a club, thought
it was trout and in the excite
ment fell into the river.
1t seems that "Old Black
Snake Whip" Habicht is again
showing his colors. Mr.. Habicht
was heard to remark that he
wouldn't give a thin dime to the
soldiers collection, because the
union is back of it" In our
the Company would
not like one of their men max
ing such statement, any more
than our boys, who are doing
our fighting and making it safe
for him and thousands of others
like him. We can thank God
that we don't have many people
in our plant like FIR. Habicht,
otherwise our struggle for free
dom would be defeated.

what has the CIO done for US?
If you brothers who were with

working conditions, and a good
sound bidding and learning sys-

attend all Unit meetings and take
an active part on committees,

ganization, it is you brothers and
sisters behind the organization
that make a good union.
