Unit
Sparklets

The members of the EXecu-
tive Shop Committee wish to ex-
tend to the members of the
Champion Spark Plug Unit and
their families, our best wishes
for a MERRY CHRISTMAS and
a HAPPY NEW YEAR.
The Champion Spark Plug
basketball team hit their stride
last week and trounced the
Auto-Lite club by the score of
81 to 16. The high score honor
for the evening went to Jack
Clifford who found the net for
10 points, R. Powell 8, E. Bug
bee 6, c. Shepler 5, and Gus
Shumaker 2. The boys were in
good shape and show inn
provement each week. Don't for
get it's Mondays at Scott High

DAYS at the Y. M. c. A. The

We wonder if Earl Waters, the
foreman of dept. d., under
stands the definition of coopera-
ton. Even ten-cent dictionary
will explain that COOPERA-
TION is the act of working to-
gcther. P. S.-Maybe this is still
to dense.
Well, WE'LL! Now its Beatty
and Bieswinger who are work.
ing Beattys old method of in
viting Union members to come
to them for assistance. Bic
swinger talks to them in the
office, while Beatty contacts
them in their department. Watch
out fellow workers no good can
come from this.
Remember the bylaws prohi-
bit members from taking griev-
anceS up with a supervisor,
without notifying the steward or
the Executive Committee and
obtaining permission to do so.
This covers all members and all
department, not just few.
Just a reminder, 1916 as
Sessment of $1.00 for the To-
LEDO UNION JOURNAL is due
before January dues can be paid.
Have you considered that for less
than two cents per week you are
getting the latest news from the
Labor front and also the true
picture of the NEWS. The daily
papers have been so successful
in confusing the workers minds
that it is only through the
UNION JOURNAL that you will
get the true picture.

of our support, while they are

National
Supply Unit Neus

One of the finest persons we
have ever known has quit the
shop. Bert Winters was a friend
of everyone and a great worker
for our unit. He was on the ex-
ecutive committee at one time,
and always gave a fair and
square decision on any problem
brought to his attention. He has
been employed at the shop for a
number of years, and never ac-
quired an enemy in all that
time. When things like this hap
pen we sit back and wonder
what is the reason for our older
employees to leave their jobs to
take other jobs elsewhere.
There has been quite a number
of them.
COLD
Is your house cold? Are you
in need of wood? Johnny Burdo
is your man. He not only will
supply you with wood to burn,
tear apart the crates, pull out
the nails, put it up in neat
bundles, but will furnish you
with pass out. The nice part
about this is that there is no
cost or obligation.
Our unit has a fine basketball
team entered in the YMCA
league. Ray Welker, Bob We'll
ton, Ell Graham, Bob McVicker,
Bob Welker, Rocky Rockwell,
and Dave Caldwell are the boys
who make up the team. Drop in
at Y some Tuesday night and
see the boys in action. They'll
appreciate 1t too.
One of the boys purchased a
used tire from the Sager garage,
and asked Shorty to change it
for him. Shorty never changed
a tire in his life, so had TO get
help from his partner.
Bert Cousino Dept. Al, is the
only man we know to break a
sledge hammer handle by lean
ing on it. A Sandow.
Roland Fredricks, Dept. IS,
was taking no chances last Mon
day morning on Bill O'Brien not
being able to get his car started.
He has been known to have had
trouble with O'Brien before. So
Rollie goes out to get Bill so
that they both would get to
work on time. Sure enough Bill
was having trouble with his car.
The members of the Lucky
Five bowling team are willing
to admit they were talked out of
a game last Monday night by
Mrs. Earl Barnes. She sure was
a one woman cheering section.
More power to you Mrs. Barnes.
Yours truly wishes to take
this opportunity to wish you all
a very Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year.

Who Is
Delinquent?
BY Ruth Taylor

Today, Wherever we turn,
we find the problem of juve-
nile delinquency staring US in
the face. We are all deeply
stirred by the attacks of hood
lums in our big cities. But
we can't pass off hoodlum-
ism as just the acts of chill
dren. Behind every child
there stands an adult. Every
act of juvenile delinquency
conVicts some adult of neglect
or indifference amounting to
criminal negligence.
Children are not born with
a sense of right or wrong. 1t
is the family that has the
first chance TO civilize the
child. The kind of behaviour
a child displays depends upon
the kind of adults after whom
he has patterned himself. And
the adults cannot dodge their
responsibility or shift it to the
schools.
NO BAD CHILDREN
The other day l was talking
to truant officer. He said,
There aren't any bad chill
dren, but there are a great
many bad parents. They are
lazy or neglectful. They don't
realize that sending child
to school isn't enough. They
have to condition his attitude
towards the school and to-
wards other children. And
they have to see to it that he
has spiritual food as well as
material. In most of the cases
l have to investigate, l find
that the parents are unwilling
to turn out on Sunday or go
to Church with their children.
They don't seem to see that
religion is one of the biggest
necessities in child's life. It's
the stick upon which the vine
has to grow"
Lack of religious and eth
ical training is one of the
greatest factors in juvenile de-
linquency. If a child has no
standards by which to grow,
he is cropping in the dark. If
he learns it is smart to dodge
the law, that the only sin is
getting caught, he is on the
road to crime. If he hears his
parents lying, he sees no rea-
son for the truth. If at home
he hears violent diatribes
against any group, whether it
be of religion, color, national
ity or class, his first impulse
is to attack them.
THE HOME
The parents may be only
careless or thoughtleSs-but a
child believes what he hears
and takes it seriously. 1t is
from the home that hoodlum-
ism springs and it is in the
home it can be and must be
stopped.
1t isn't the child alone who
is delinquent. 1t is the parents
who stand convicted before
the bar of public opinion.
1t isn't just a wave of de-
linquency among children that
is sweeping the country and
causing so much trouble. It is
a wave of delinquency among
parents. Let's do something
about the delinquent parents
and juvenile delinquency
will take care of itself!

SEC Urged 10 SheIve
Proposed Ban on
Floor Trading
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 5.-The Ma
tional Association of Investment
Companies today asked the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission to
postpone any action on proposals to
ban floor trading on the stock ex-
change until the soundness of such
a move had been better evidenced.
A special committee Of the asso-
ciation has been studying the ef-
fects of floor trading in the light Of
proposals advanced by the SEC staff
and has concluded that while certain
floor trading practices should be
changed. these changes could be ac-
compliShed without eliminating the
very real contribution to market
liquidity, and perhaps to stability,
which we believe certain phases of
floor trading are now making"
Specifically. the committee recon-
mended that steps be taken to pre-
vent the painting of the ticker
tape" by professional operators and
urged the adoption of a workable
rule which would give priority to
public customers over floor traders
in the execution of orders.
The association Is made up of III
member companies whose securities
are widely held.
