OUR CHAIRMAN
Everyone knows, and nearly ev-
eryone likes genial Ed Birth
whistle, chairman of our Unit.
Maybe everyone doesn't like Bert,
but come to think of it, we've
never heard anyone say they
didn't. And why wouldn't our folks
like big Ed? Doesn't he have that
certain little something in his per-
sonality that makes him liked? OF
course he does. And besides, he's
a real union guy, through and
through.
Come to think of it, there are
lots of reasons why Bertwhistle is
a popular guy, including the swell
job he has done as Unit chairman
for the past year. But his qualities
don't begin nor end with the last
year. He has an uncanny way Of
handling grievances. He was one
of the main ones in getting our re-
creational committee started. He
likes to see everyone enjoy them
selves at their favorite pastime.
Incidentally his pastime is singing
loud, but not too good, in a crowd
In fact, he sings much better in a
crowd than he does alone; but
don't hold that against him be-
cause we can't all be Lawrence
Tibbets.
In all seriousness, we all take
off our hats to Ed Birthwhistle, a
swell fellow, fellow who is demo-
cratic and close to the thoughts
and ideas of his fellow workers, a
man who has the true principles
of unionism and sticks for them
through thick and thin. We are
proud of Ed Birthwhistle and hope
that we may have him with US for
many years to come in a capacity
where his ability will continue to
be as useful as it is now, and as it
has been in the past.
