EMMA
In this column sometimes we
simply report facts. On other oc-
casions we express opinions. Often
these opinions are purely personal.
More frequently, we hope, we are
acting as a sort of unofficial spokes-
man for the great majority Of SER
vicemen who make use of our Club.
On very few rare occasions we
are certain that we are expressing
an opinion that is substantially
universal among our men.
One of these exceptional oppor-
tunities presents itself today. In
paying this tribute to a member of
our Girls Service Organization we
are perfectly sure that we speak
for the many hundreds of men who
have met her since the Juneau USO
first opened. And it especially
pleases us to feel that this tribute
will be heartily endorsed when
they finally learn of it, by men
once here who have moved on and
who now serve on one or another
of almost all the many fronts where
A American troops are located
throughout the world.
For a long while it has been our
considered judgment that this girl
was the ESQ member most widely
held in the combined respect and
affections of our men. But we had
no means of substantiating this
oplnion-that is, we had none until
the May Queen election of last
week. When the balloting in that
election began, we wondered
whether it would tend to confirm
this opinion of ours. 1t did So
emphatically. For it was Emma
Nielsen who was paid the compli-
ment OF being chosen May Queen
and it was by the vote of very
large majority.
Out OF high school only a year.
during those twelve months Emma
has developed to really remarkable
degree a capacity for getting along
well with people. This skill, COM
blned with her inherent gifts Of
an excellent character, a CAV dis
position, extraordinary ability as a
dancer, and an abundance of good
looks, have represented total per-
sonality remarkably equipped for
the making of many friendships.
In the use which she has made of
that personality. Emma has very
richly blessed our USO and a vast
number of our servicemen.
We doubt our ability to express
IN adequate language of our own
the total distinctive thing that is
Emma's unique contribution to the
uso. But We know just where "a
turn to find something written by
someone else concerning a friend
OF his that is absolutely APPROX
riate in this item today. It was
there said of his friend that her
presence warmed and lit up so big
region of life that in thinking of
ner one is overwhelmed by the null
tltude OF things that she made bet.
Ter by simply existing among them.
II you remove a fire from hearth.
you viii remember the look, not SO
much of the blaze itself, as Of the
whole room in its pleasant glow Y
We will let that stand as a sum-
mary OF what Emma Nielsen means
to the Juneau USO.

Three representatives of your
committee and officers of Local
IL will appear in Cleveland this
week before the WLB wage and
hour panel.
Maybe the WLB will turn a
more sympathetic ear now that
Henry Ford, one of the major
prophets has come out in favor
of wage raises and the UAW-
CIO is going to vote on the no.
strike pledge.
Wonder if pappy Crawford
gnashed his teeth on Ford's
statement on wage increases.
That could never come from the
guy who walks with kings but
keeps the common touch, be-
sides Frederick the Great is
thinking in terms of the long
ago when workers were afraid
and the bosses were glad of it
and helped keep them that way.

other day. Did you? was sur
prised at the service. 1t took
me less than five minutes to get
the business done. Now ! can

die, an answer with ballots.

Credit Union. Why not save a
little out of your pay each week
for that rainy day that always
comes. You can always get
your dough back. More than
that, you can even borrow when
you need it. For details see
your correspondent.
Frenchy changed jobs from
Dept. 86 to Dept. 40 but had to
quit because of sore muscles.
Stack took the same job and
although he was suffering from
a cold is taking the work in
stride. This leads to the only
possible conclusion that Frenchy
can't take it.
Will you brothers in Dept. 36
open the window so Howard
PerWitz can throw his chest out.
Howard is the proud father of a

both the proud parents.

Cameo Unit
Opener
By Ted Modrowski

GRAND RAPIDS, Sept. IT.
The issues discussed here are OF
the utmost importance to every
dues paying member of the
UAW. The entire delegation is
at a very high pitch. The meth.
cd in which the first report o1
the Rules Committee was torr
down is demonstrative of this
These words are with definite
tone of authority as your dele
gate was a member of this COM
mittee and was definitely in the
midst of the attack.
Why were the rules torn
down? Why did the rules re-
quire an entire afternoon ses-
sion to be adopted? The answer
is simple. The UAW is a demo-
cratic organization and the or
der of business and the rules
governing this business are con-
trolled by the delegates.
The first session of the con-
vention was merely a prelude
of what is to follow. But rather
than go into detail on this,
complete story on this can be
found on the front page of the
TOLEDO UNION JOURNAL.
FUN-OH NO!
With housing condition here
in Grand Rapids that would
make the average crowded city
look like a deserted army bar
racks, this is definitely not a
vacation. How many delegates
have no rooms is not known,
nor is the number of people
who have returned to a happy
home known, but the bands or
crowd, or the high interest in
the issues to be decided could
not keep your truly there-if
he had no place to rest his
weary head.
We've met considerable
number of out of state people
and can say with all sincerity
that labor problems are the
same at home as they are any
where.

National Supply is one of the
few, in fact, l think its the
only shop in Local IL to have
three teams e n tie r e d in the
Local IL Standard Bowling
Leagues. Maybe some of the
other shops are bigger, but
they don't give the Local any
more support in proportion to
their size than we do.
When the War Chest Drive
opens in our shop Oct. 4, it
will be handled as usual by the
Squadron. This is for good
cause as we all know so we
should all give it our fullest
support.

the service reports that he has

FISH STORY

With the fishing season draw
ing to close, it is fitting at this
time to pay tribute to Dick Gar
rison, the tool-room's Isaac
Walton"
1t all happened about week
ago. Dick was up the river cast
ing until his arm felt like it was
going to fall out of the socket.
Suddenly something hit his plug
nearly dumping him into the
water. Once he had regained
his balance Dick gave battle.
For nearly one hour, it was a
give-and-take affair with Dick
finally landing a 43 lb. muskie.
Dick loaded up his catch and
headed for home and deter
mined to stop at the nearest
telephone. Being a modest fell
low, Dick called the sports edi-
tor and gave him the name of
this next door neighbor when he
asked that someone from the
paper come out and take pic
ture of him and the fish.
While awaiting the arrival of
the cameraman, Dick dozed in
his chair. Then, the doorbell
rang. Looking up, Dick could
see the photographer waiting at
the bell. Then he woke up to
discover that the doorbell was
the alarm clock reminding him
that it was time to get up for
work. So what did Dick do?
He bawled his kid out for leav-
ing his toys lying around on the
floor. So-you don't believe it
eh?
MATH
Glen (Bing) Crosby is brush
ing up on his arithmetic. He
runs a rabbit ranch and says his
Dummies are better at multip.i-
cation than he is.
Favorite song for employees
since the second shift has been
eliminated "Somebory Else Is
Taking My Place" !"

Sunday, September "a, the
regular Unit meeting will be
held at Local II headquarters,
425 Winthrop ST. at 200 p. m.
Make an effort to be there and
hear the delegates who attended
the UAW-CIO Grand Rapids
convention.
Nominations and elections of
delegates to the Ohio CIO Con-
vention will take place.
Sue Bogue is in Mercy Hos
pital and Anna Sczskalski is in
st. Vincent's. We hope both
members a speedy recovery.
1t is the wish of the shop COM
mittee that all officers and
stewards attend the regular
Unit meetings so they will know
the actions and policies of their
Unit.
We extend our hearty thanks
to the members of the Acklin
softball team who did a good
job this season despite a slow
start. Our boys were beaten by
the Champion Unit in the play
offs but showed a fine spirit of
craftsmanship which we and
their rivals admired.
Members of our Unit can do
lot to make our organization
one of the best in Local II. You
can do this by inviting new en-
ployees in the shop to join our
Unit. The person who works
with you and doesn't belong to
the Unit should belong. You can
sign him up and should do it.
The Unit cannot be any stronger
than its membership.
We extend our sincere SYM
pathy to Wanda Garch who lost
her infant recently.
Three of the things that were
stressed at the UAW-CIO con-
vention were political action,
equal pay for equal work and
an annual wage. Most important
of all REGISTER NOW AND
VOTE IN NOVEMBER.

Sparklets Champion Unit

The boys in the tool room
hope the weather will be more
moderate this year during duck
season. 1t seems as though chief
clerk Sparky had to wear two
pairs of shorts last year to pro-
tect himself from the bitter cold.
What is this short, short story?
Although the duck season hasn't
opened, the men in department
&c" have shot about 145 ducks.
Verbally, of course.
A certain young man who has
the job of issuing shoe stamps
for all the Champion employees
walked into a shoe store the
other day, picked out swell
looking pair of shoes, decided
to wear them home and then
discovered he had not brought
his shoe stamp. Sure, you've
guessed it! D. w. himself. Yep,
he had to take the shoes off and
go home in his old ones.
If you'd care to find out how
to get the regular brand of
cigarettes anytime you want
them from the department Cd"
canteen, just ask Betty Ball. She
somehow manages to get 2 or 3
packs before the canteen opens
for business. Wonder where she
gets the drag?
Some of us have always con-
sidered Mr.. Beatty quite a big
wind around the plant. Maybe
Atlantic City thought he was
too, because a hurricane has
been reported tearing through
that metropolis.
Why is it the day shift on rust
proof is singing Happy Days
Are Here Again." Could it be
because a certain non-union
member, who called herself the
floor lady, bid out? Plug Repair
in E in D has all the rust proof
sympathy and gratefullness.
Miracles will happen! Walter
Traff returned from his vaca-
Il s.. pn without throwing any of his
fishing tackle in the lake. So
he said or are you holding out
on us, Walt?

Proportions Of
Ohio Fishes

In May, June and July of this
year State Game Protectors,
during their regular check-up of
fishermen, paid particular atten-
ton to the number of each kind

der to assist in determining the
best time of year to catch each
species and the places most
likely to yield good catches.
A compilation of creel census
reports from twenty-six counties
shows total of 42,767 fish were
caught in the following order of
abundance:
Bluegills, 1892; Yello W
Perch, 8,031; Catfish, $500;
Crappies, 4,513; Carp, 2,453;

Pvt. and Mrs. Chester Hanna
became the parents of a 6 pound

was a welder in the fabrication
dept. before entering the armed

Robert Baer one of the COM
mittee who has been in boot
training at Great Lakes, Illinois,
has paid us a visit in the shop.
Looks like the navy did a good
job on Baer.
Walter Gladiux now on furl-
ough has also paid us a visit.
Walt is serving our country in
the Air Corps as gunner, hav-
ing participated in so missions
over enemy territory. We're all
proud of you. Keep up your
end and we'll do our part.
With the bowling season now
at hand we'll be hearing some
exciting stories and with the end
of the war not far away, we
will be hearing more exciting
stories, reconversion layoffs and
what have you. My advice to
you brothers is give your union
its fullest support because the
company isn't going to like you
if you're a bad boy, such as
asking for wage increases,
seniority protection and griev-
ance procedure. Better wake up
men before it's too late. Will
be seeing you at the next Unit
meeting.
