 We have a new welder who is always asking. ''Hoom dewing?" I have never been able to find out much about his welding, but at walking and talking, Fat, you sure are a wonder.
 News from the Victory Yard sure gets around faStl When we want to know what we have been doing here at night. the quickest way to find out is to call Up the South or Main yard before whistle time and you will get the news of the evening-before 1t is news.
 We hope the man who took Fitz- patrick's lunch kit from the Union Hall at the last meeting brings 1t back-at least to the next meeting. Fritz says it's a long time to wait "a whole month-for a lunch.
 Happy Fargo should be very good with an eel spear when he leaves this shop. He sure is pret- ty good at spearing cigarette butts and waste paper! You are doing @ good job, Fargo. don't let the boys in the plate shop kid you.
 ANSWER TO LAST ISSUE QUESTION: "Why do we get sent home like a lot of school kids for @ couple of days at timer"
 ANSWER: Because the ones that take it are not good Union mem bers for the first reason. Secondly. some people will do anything they are told to do and like it. Oook out, see that you are not asked to jump in the river on good cold dayD
 Stairs are made so people can get up and down in buildings safe ly. But the ones going up to the balcony from the Electrical De- partment are mostly used as lounges at lunch time. We hope the people that use them as such have some detour signs painted. Better yet, let's have an escalator put over the top of the sleeping beauties.
 We wonder whether Waterman, the safety man, has any hands. We have never seen the end of his coat sleeves out of his pockets as yet.
 We have heard fumors about one day man who had to leave his car in the parking lot all night. Well, that proves our new parking com- mittee is on the job. Said car does not take up so much room any more.
 While waiting to come through the gate the other day I heard man ask the question: "Why do you, MT. Hayes, always smoke good cigars when all the rest of the guards have to let themselves down to the old clay pipes7" The

(contlnued from Page Seven) after seeing Bob Chappelrs car Per usual, he claims it was the other fellows fault. His car. rath- CT a bit of mashed steel, is now getting back to it's original form. Fortunately for Bob, he was not on the Starboard side. Those ship superintendents are always lucky anyway.
 V Yard wet lockers are still in- quiring about the condition of AL len Waterman. He has been out on sick leave for some time. !. That new face seen around Is none other than Sam Miner, formerly of the Fab shop. We understand Lou Diamond, the bombastic ship filter, is on the last lap of his Personal Five-Year Plan; gang way to the new era.

answer to that question is because the gatekeepers are the only ones who can get the high rate of pay 50 I have been led to believe.
 A word or two about our new Safety Committee and the good work they are doing: Through the close watch of one man on the committee, MT. Doc Puzi, twelve men had their lives saved just a few nights ago. l would give you full details of this instance but my column is getting so long now that I may not be able to get it all in this issue I am glad to state, how ever, that the company has let down all barriers and is cooperat- ing with the committee 100%. Anyone wanting to get in touch with the committee can do so by contracting the following men: MT. Martin. Dept. 341, Wet Dock; Phil Santangelo, Dept. 331; Doc Puzi, Dept. 325. on the Ways. and Nap oleon Theroix, Dept. 3O8. Machine Shop.
 Your Grievance Committee sure went to bat these past two weeks; has settled more complaints than I have seen settled in the same time since I came in the Union nearly three years back.
 The Parking Committee has a very good start-thanks to MT. Theroix of the V yard, and MT. Brennan of the Main yard. Will have some good news about these two men next issue as they are meeting the Company the first of next week, but as have to have this news in ten days before you get The Sub am unable to give you full details at this printing. Sorry, boys, could not wait for the rest of your news but will give you a real story next issue. Eel lows, please try to cooperate with our new committee.

Technique Of Ducking
Learned Quickly
In Foxho|e City
BY WALTER McCALLUM,

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, June
II Delayed The enemy has re-
sumed shelling Foxhole City, some
where a few miles >west of the
beachhead, and you really ought to
see-our foxhole technique.
It isn't that we chose the best
location in France for Foxhole City,
nor even one of the best, but enemy

they come whizzing around,

Almost any foxhole will do. 1t
doesn't make much difference who
dug it, or who occupies 1t at the
moment. When the shells start
whizzing, the more the merrier, but
it might be rough on the top man.
Down the road few minutes ago
guy forgot to duck or got careless.
A lot of the 8Ss which fly around
here are duds. They land some
where and don't detonate. for which
we probably can thank some French
saboteur in a German arms fac
tory. Maybe this guy thought the
one that went off also was dud

I came in with parachute in

from planes. Their chutes are
spread all over this part of France,

At that, we are better of than
the boys in Purple Heart Alley, up
there in the front lines, where the
Schineisser lads have itchy fingers
and cut loose with those blurps at
anything that moves.
You can't always tell where the
shell comes from and you seldom
can tell where it Is going. so the
best thing to do when the hiss
comes is to duck-and quickly.

 "So,' he said later, T left for Visayan island in a submarine, a trip that lasted two days and one night. That took us through the Jap blockade lines Several times we passed close to their destroyers. :"
 Hazardous Voyage
 It was hazardous voyage. Then, in motor torpedo boat piloted by the naval hero, Lieut.. John Bulk ley, he made the next leg of the journey to Mindanao. From there he flew by night to Australia in an Army bomber.
 In Australia he conferred again with Macarthur and decided to. go on to Washington. There he plunged into the work of his coun- try. He leased Belmont, the es- tate of Brig Gen Patrick J. Hur- ley, near Leesburg, Va, for his wife and three children.
 Addressing the United States Senate, he expressed the hope that America would adopt a new war slogan = Remember the Philip pines"
 Later he told the House of Rep

in Washington in 1909 and Presi- dent of the first insular Senate in 1916, the highest elective office which Filipino might attain under the American regime. He hel dthat post until 1928.
 For more than 30 years Quezon cooperated with Washington in promoting lf-government for the islands, frequently visiting the cap ital as member of independence missions after he quit the com- missionership, always sounding his slogan of absolute, immediate and complete independence.
 Ouezon was born in the village of Baler, province of Tayabas, Aug ust IS, 1878, of mixed Filipino and Spanish percentage, his father being a school teacher and small farmer. The son received his A. B. degree from San Juan de Letran College and his law degree from Santa To- mas University in March in 1903.
 On December IT, 1918, he married at Hongkong, Aurora Aragon of Raler. Four children were born to them of whom two daughters and a son survived infancy.

 Master Politician
 Independence for the Philippine Islands was the issue on which Quezon became one of the master politicians of the Orient. He reap ed his reward in election as first presidgnt of She commonwealth government which on November IS, 1885, took over the administration of the islands for a 10-year period designed to be transitional from the dependent to full independent status.
 Quezon always sought freedom for the archipelago. He was still law student when the United States drove the Spaniards out of the islands in 1898, but he dropped his studies the next year when President McKinley's pronounce ment that the constitution follows the flag dashed the hopes of Emilio Aquinaldo that his provis- ional government would be recog- nized and drove him into open rebellion
 Quezon joined Aquinaldos forces as lieutenant, rose to be major on Aguinaldo's staff and toward the end of the fighting was chief of staff for the insurrectionists in central Luzon When the move ment collapsed in March, 1901, upon Aguinaldo's capture by Gen. Frederick Funston, Quezon too was taken and was in a military prison for six months.
