A short time ago orders were
issued that every one must ring
their own clock cards. We are
wondering if this order only re-
ferred to workers and not super
vision. If it referred to super
vision then it surely is being
violated in Plant Sanitation De-
partment, first shift. One of the
strange quirks of life is in this
department.
When Corbett was the head
of the Plant Engineering he
tried every way to find a place
for Wagner. The result was that
Pete Balm was ousted and Wag-
ner took his place. He knows
practically nothing about Plant
Sanitation. Now neither Fit
ness nor Corbett are working
for the Overland. Politics is a
great game in and out of fac
tories.
ABOUT PEOPLE
There are two fine operators
in Dept. COS, Bernice Whalen a
star saleslady on the War Chest
in 1943, and Rose Fender. You
will find both on operation 180
Bird shift. Rose also operates
in 140 when they need real
operator on hard shells. We
hear Rose is only waiting for
Benny to be called to the army
when she will bid for his job.
Bernice says she is going to take
a little holiday around Christ
mas in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Now that boss Conoly of
Dept. 401, 1st shift, has an all
Irish crew by the names Of
McMann, Moriarty, O'Rourke
and Fitzgerald in his office,
there should be an example
peace and harmony.
The officers of the Willys
Unit wish all the members a
Happy New Year, the best of
health and a job for everyone
in the years to come.
The many brothers in Dept.
502 have been wondering why
Elwood Hitchcock has had that
contented look on his face and
why he greeted everyone with
smile. You guessed it; his
wife presented him with a baby
girl, Congratulations, Hitch.
The many friends of Tony
Holewinski, time keeper, in
Powder Hoist wish him a speedy
recovery from his recent opera
ton.
Little did we ever think that
Bob Ogle who helped built this
union would try gestapo meth
ods on his fellow members. But
this has actually happened
since he was promoted to a
brass hat. He makes it his busi-
ness to see that every one rings
out at the right time. n
There seems to be budding
romance in the making in Dept
502 between Mike Moriarty and
a sweet little miss by the name
of Audine who seems to be very
anxious to snare Brother Mike.
But maybe Mike isn't interested
or doesn't know the lady has
designs on him. Wake up Mike,
or are you waiting for Marvel |
to change her mind.
