Inc news of the successful invasion Of the Phil.

and enormous quantities of supplies Thousands
O miles across the Pacific.
twas thrilling triumph for our Army, Navy
and Merchant Marine.
We railroaders got special thrill from the
news too, not only because we are Americans but
also because we know now that months ago the
Philippine invasion started on the railroads.
And many railroader VINO, in recent months has
worked double shifts to keep the war freight roll
ing to Pacific Ports, knows that he, too, had part
in putting those men ashore on Leyte Island.
This mighty blow at Japan placed an especially
large burden On the Western railroads. Serving
aless populated territory, the Western lines nor
mally do not have the density of traffic Of the
eastern trunk lines, and their trackage was de-
signed accordingly. Yet the western roads, in
spite Of manpower shortage, have handled
their enormous war burden efficiently and ON

Fishing In
Erie

COLUMBUS, Aug. L Ohio's
Lake Erie commercial fisher
men are holding up their end of
the work of helping to feed
America, and probably some
outlying countries and allied
service people, in spite of la
Dor shortage, increased cost of
equipment and scarcity.
Reports from the industry in
dicate that fish are plentiful in
the lake and large catches have
been made. The spring season,
one of the best of recent sea-
sons, began on March Is and
ends August 81; the fall period
opens September l and runs till
December Is, with new license
required for each netting sea-
son. Licenses issued in 1943 to-
tailed 1928, and so far in 1914
there have been 1927.
To give some notion of the
extent of activities these license
figures for 1914 are interesting;
Trap nets, ia licenses for 4,038
nets at $500 per net; Dip Nets,
35 at $500 each; Seines 81 at
712c rod, minimum $500;
Trot Lines 416 at $500; Fyke
nets, 26 licenses for 1873 nets at
$500 per net; boat with gill
nets an bar nets, 70.
Anglers are reporting good
catches of pickerel the past

donors last week, but was of
little use. The attendant at the

four types of blood that were of
any use to humans and since
Floyd was not one of these four
they could not use him.
He isn't the kind of guy to
give up so easily and that same
night paid a visit to the Red
Cross and donated his share to
do it's job in the war. The only
thing now that is bothering

Auxiliary
NEWS

The next meeting of the Wom
ems Auxiliary will be held
August in Parlor l on the
fourth floor of the union hall.
At this meeting delegates will
be elected to go to the annual
Conference of UAW Women's
AuXuliaries September 18th at
Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The 1914 conference will be
extremely important to the
women of UAW members.
Women are going to have to
help solve labor's postwar
problems. Individually women
can accomplish little. However,
by uniting, much pressure can
be put upon our congressman
to pass bills favorable to labor.
Pressure can be put upon OPA
when it fails to enforce price
ceilings; the WPB could be
forced to make better quality
clothing comparable to the
price.
These are a few of the things
we could accomplish now if
more of the women of UAW
were interested in bringing
them about.
In the postwar period women
will play an important role.
Reconversion means unemploy-
ment unless planned for in ad-
vance. 1t will be up to women
TO see that there is fair dis
tribution of goods after ration
ing is abandoned. If we don't
fight for our share and at a
reasonable price we will find
our cupboardS bare. Our chill
dren will e be undernourished
and i'll clothed.
The UAW Women'S Auxiliary
Conference is held every year
to discuss these and other prob
lens facing organized labor and
what part women can take in
helping to solve them.

Dos and Don'ts
For Fishermen

COLUMBUS, Aug. This is
the time of year when multi
piled instances of droWnings in
the lakes and streams of Ohio
are reported, with many of the
victims being fishermen. Per-
sonal injury and death may oc-
cur in other ways, however. In
this connection the Division of
Conservation offers these seven
Dos and Dont's to nelp fisher
men to keep out of trouble:
l. Protect your head with a
wide brim hat and wear cloth
ing adequate for protection
from wind and insect bites.
2. Carry a vacuum bottle or
flask of good drinking water.
Drinking lake or stream water
that has not been boiled is dan
gerous.
3. Be cautious while in a
boat, especially when wearing
rubber boots or other clothing
that will hamper you in swim
ming.
4. When bait-casting from a
boat, use the overland cast so
you will not endanger your
companions.
5. Carry a first aid-kit and
promptly sterilize scratches and
punctures from hooks and fish
fins, which often cause infec-
ton.
6. Should a fishhook become
buried in the flesh, don't try to
pull it out. Push it on around
and out through the skin. Cut
off the barb with the wire cut
ter or pair of pliers which
should always be in your kit,
then the hook may be- extracted
easily.
7. Don't venture out on the
water in stormy weather. When
the weather is threatening, head
for shore.
