FUN TOGETHER

FUN TOGETHER
So you think it over a
while the Jap bullets zing
over your head What fun we
had the day we caught the
seventeen wall-eyed pike in
the st. Joseph River
1t doesn't make sense to
you. There you are in the
jungle fighting the Japs. The
newspaper blasts the union to
which your brother belongs as
selfish and unpatriotic, be-
cause there has been a wild
cat strike by some of its mem
bers.
Why, that's just like saying
that my brother doesn't care
whether or not have enough
bullets in my gun, you think.
But my brother isn't like that,
YOU assure yourself. Not him.
We were always pals.
STILL PALS
Well, Bud, you are right;
we were always pals-and we
still are.
And | do want you to have
plenty of bullets for your gun.
We fellows in the CIO want
to see you boys out there on
the front provided with plen-
ty of weapons and ammuni-
ton. We've sweated to build
the stuff for you--and you
know it, because you do have
plenty of bullets for your gun,
and YOU are chasing the Japs
back to Tokyo.
Now, about the strikes.
There are some things hap
pening here back home that
YOU don't read about in the
newspapers, Bud. You can't
read what isn't printed. And
what the papers don't print
is plenty.
The papers don't tell you,
for instance, that a lot of
plutocrats are getting rich out
of this war. Now do they tell
YOU that the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers is wag-
ing war here at home against
the unions.
AGAINST PLANNING
The papers don't tell you
that the plutocratS, along with
there editorial pals and po-
litical stooges, are waging an
other war against sensible
post war planning. Whenever
we in the unions offer a pro-
posal to guarantee jobs for
you fighters when you come
back, these big money babies
promptly blast the idea. Bu-
reaucracy, they sneer in con-
tempt.
And, of course, you must
know by now that the same
politicians who are always
blasting labor unions are the
ones who don't want you to
vote.
The anti-labor employers
who are trying to wreck the
unions do.not have perfect
record of patriotism, Bud
Some of them sold scrap iron
to Japan to make the guns
that are shooting at you
Others sold oil to the Japs
right up to the eve of Pear
Harbor.
But don't you worry about
these things. You go ahead
and finish the job of knocking
out the Japs. That's your figh'
for democracy and the gooo
life.
Well take care of thing!
here at home = so that yol
can come home TO a good jot
at decent pay; to an Americ'
free of depressions and dicta
tors.

 The women's division of the com- ing Fifth War Loan have outlined to date many forceful plans for the drive which will be conducted here June l2 to July 8. It was pointed out today by Mrs. Hawkes. and Mrs) Wood that these plans to be success ful must have the support of the many women organizations and so- cieties in the city.

 A friend of his directed him to this office and we immedi- ately arranged to give him treatments after his working hours.
 He has had but a few treat. ments to date. and from the improvements he has shown, We now know that it will not be necessary for him to give up his hard earned position and that 1t will be but a matter of time when he will nave regained his former robust health.
 So again this ofiiee is happy in the knowledge that 1t has aided in restoring Health and Happiness where but a few weeks ago gloom and discour- agement prevailed.
