Law we want? We do not be-
lieve it. We believe our MEM
bers are going to write to Sen
ators Harold Burton and Robert
Taft, Representatives Homer
Ramey and George Bender,
Washington, D. c., and tell them
to support and vote for the
Wagner, Murray, Dingle, Grade
to the Grave Bill.
This bill includes everything
we have asked for, such as $50
to $125 Old Age Retirement,
better medical and hospital care
and schooling for our young
sters and the right to call any
doctor we see fit to have. This
guarantees doctors they will be
paid for their services. 1t also
covers people who are not now
protected, such as farm workers,
tenent, farmers, sailors and
millions of other workers.
1t is time the workers awaken
ed to the fact that most of the
laws that would help them and
are now awaiting committee
hearings will be killed by small
minority groups such as the
ANA, NAM, Chamber of
Commences and Bankers Organi-
cations. We think it is time the
workers took some of the res
possibility on their shoulders
and sent letters or cards to those
politicians who are supposed to
do what we tell them.
Are you going to wait until
you get wrinkles in your bellies
from hunger? Do it now, it won't
break you to spend Is or 20
cents to gain one of the greatest
advances that labor has asked
for in years.
Brother James Lewis, former
steward of Dept. 383, wants to
thank all those who were so
kind and helpful to him and
family during the recent bereave:
ment due to loss of his beloved
wife. The entire membership of
the WHY'S Unit offers their SYM
pathy to Brother Lewis and IA
mily.
We extend our sympathy to
the family of Bro. Conolly, Dept.
401, who expired on July 10.

We wish to thank the National
Supply management for their
liberal assistance in the pur-
chase of the uniforms for the
softball team. We really appre-
ciate this gesture by the COM
pany.
Cliff Preacher" Varwia is
doing his best to become atten-
dant in tool crib /.
Machine work in the Navy
building is about done. Things
are a lot different now than two
years ago. Remember how Fore
man Hovel snooped around try
ing to catch somebody washing
up before time? General Fore
man c. Sullivan taking care Of
his friends? Morris the eff
cheney expert? Foreman Hender-
son who had to contact his bcss
before making a decision? Boyer
the highly recommended fore
man for the tool joints? What
are these foremen doing today?
There was brighter side. Re-
member when about 500 people
rang the clocks? Army and
Navy personnel came through
the shop at intervals? The Is
or 80 women gear filters? Two
(not hard to look at) young
ladies handed out the supplies
at the tool crib? When it didn't
matter so much if you didn't
work too hard, just so you were
at work? National Supply work
ers did their job for the war
effort, sometimes under very
trying conditions and with some
good ones.
Johnny (Jitterbug) Fey, dept.
SO, has finally taken vacation,
and the department is still run
ming smoothly.
Ford Beckwith is back on the
job after recovering from an
operation.
Clifford Boiling visited the

He was employed in the mill
wright department prior to en-
tering the armed forces.

Ragging The
Scale
By Bill Kenny

Sorry about last week folks,
this column wasn't in. Oh, so
you didn't miss it. Well then
let's skip the apology.
Hasn't the weat h er been
awful, but it isn't any hotter
than the last meeting of the
S. WIS. Ask Hughie and doe
about the torrid session.
Orchids to the Ordnance girls
for the fine showing they made
at the last meeting. Look like
good timber for real union.
Aside to Schrider of the tool
room. 1t would have been a
good idea for the maker of the
motion to bill the July meeting
for the Veterans Apprentice
Program tn. attend the meeting.
After all pal, you were the in
spiration for the thing. And it
passed without your aid which
proves that you should attend
meetings, especially affiliatlon
meetings.
Harry Vetter visited the plant
last week after missing a few
weeks due to illness. Hap Zol-
veg is home following an opera
ton. Two swell guys. Every
one wishes them luck and a
speedy return to the old grind.
Back to the mines boys.
Affiliation Herman sez: "A
Red Appler's idea of freedom of
speech seems to be the right to
compose u n 81 6 n d, anti-CIO
propaganda on the toilet walls.
Everybody to their taste"
Congrats to Roy Pierce ASSN.
"a, and hic wife Maxine. 1t was
twin girls.
And once again we sign off
wishing you all a swell vacation
including the composers OF the

De-GIamorize Gangsfers,
Union Asks

LOS ANGELES (LPA) - A
real use for the successor to the
Dies Committee, the House COM
mittee on Un-Americsn Activi-
ties, has been suggested by the
Police Employees Union-AFL
here. The union asked, in a
resolution, that the committee
determine whether gangster
movies were a scheme to un-
dermine the moral fiber of the
nation" because Statistics re-
veal that motion pictures form a
primary recreation outlet for
American youth, moulding their
thinking and conditioning their
social outlook. The police sug-
gest censorship, if necessary, to
get young people away from
thinking of gangsters as glamor-
ous."

Not Vain
Religion
by Ruth Taylor

''If any man among you seem
to be religious, bridleth not his
tongue, but deceiveth his own
heart, this mans religion is
vain"
Everyone of us who has gone
to Sunday school or church, has
heard and known that same text
from James. We bowed our
heads in reverent listening, but
did we also bow our hearts in
prayer that by these same stan
dards our religion not be count
ed vain?
We may observe all the con-
ventions of our religion, but ii
will count for naught if we de-
ceive our own hearts. We know
what that means - the twist
ing of facts, the coloring OF
things to make them appear diff
ferent, the hedging, mental
apologizing, abiding so that we
might evade our own responsis
bilities, creating mental pictures
that do not exist. We know that
if we permit prejudice, unrea-
soning bias, resentment, dislike
of our brothermen to drive out
rfiendliness and love and a will
ingness to beof service, we are
deceiving our own hearts.
Furthermore, we may lead
exemplary lives, but if we do
not bride our tongues, our reli-
gion is vain. We know what it
means to bride our tongues -
not to pass on, gossip as fact, not
to tell what we think as what we
know, not to spread rumors, not
to speak unkindly or discount
eously.
There was a verse by Edward
Rowland Sill we had to learn in
school which defined it still fur
ther:
"The ill-timed truth we might
have kept,
Who knows how sharp it
pierced and stung?
The word we had not sense
to say,
Who knows how grandly it
had rum"
This does not mean we should
overlook evil. Not in the least.
We have a duty to condemn evil
in all places where it exists. We
must condemn the evil act -
but we must not generalize
about evil doers, Jumping the in
nocent with the guilty. We must
not confuse the issue. We must
localize it in order to eradicate
it.
1t doesn't matter what our
neighbor does or how he lives up
to his religion. We have our, and
our religion is q mockery if we
do not live up to its teachings.
Oru duty is plain - and there
is no evading it.
IF any man among you seem
to be religious, bridleth not his
tongue, but deceiveth his own
heart, this mans religion is
vain"

Joe Juszczak has been going
around all week with a doleful
expression on his face talking to
himself. All tn t will be
changed when Frank Wilke re-
turns and he again has someone
to argue with.
Eddie Karmol looks like a big
shot when he walks around car
rying cigars in his shirt pocket.
Now all he has to do is put his
hands behind his back when he
walks and the picture will be
complete.
Jerry Strzesinski has been
working Saturdays lately. Can
it be that he ran out of towns to
go to, or is he complying with
the ODT. He can still go to the
post office.

Little Tony asked Harry re-
Gently what a polar bear was.

News
ALL AUTo-LITE WORKERS
BY "GolIy"

The inevitable results of mis-
understanding leads to total
failure of any good organiza-
ton, whether it be labor or
otherwise. Too many people
including most of us haven't
taken time to examine the P. A.
c. and find its good qualities.
Most people think of the p A. c.
as the dictatorial organization
telling you and / how we should
vote and for whom. Quite the
contrary.
The P. A. c. in itself is merely
an organization to educate Mr..
and Mrs. Working Man The enc
mics of P. A. c. will lead US to
believe that it is a dictatorial
organization simply because they
have in the back of their mind
fear that they dare not ex-
press. Like any organization the
P. A. c cannot operate merely
on its name. 1t must have back
ins by the working people. The
working people must believe in
it implicitly. Ne organization
can bear fruit unless it is given
the whole hearted support of its
people. Any organization is as
good as its members make it or
as bad as they allow it to get.
l strongly urge each and
every member of Auto Lite,
Local IL to invest the small sum
of one lonely dollar for one
years membership in Lucas
County P. A. c.
Each and every member has
an active part in this organiza-
ton and it will be money well
spent. Genera membership
meetings are held once month
at Local IL.
What the P. A. c. actually
does through their research
department is to find men and
women who are Labor-minded
and who will act for the best
interest of the working people
at all times. They do not tell
us how to vote but rather ad-
wise US.
So come on Auto-Lite let US
i
really show Toledo what we
think of the p. A. c.
Fraternally yours,
