AROUND THE SHOP

Most of the better corpora
tions give their employees a
turkey or some sort of a bonus
at Christmas time. For our
Christmas present from the
company, we received a new
set of rules. Scrooge was a
piker.
Since when have mice been
smoking cigarettes? Jawn Ed.
Birtwistle will give you the
amazing details.
Twice now the stork has
visited the A. Coci's and twice
the event has passed without so
much as a Pittsburg stoogie.
Anyhow, even if the cigars were
not forthcoming for the recent
addition to the Coci family,
seven pound baby boy, we still
can afford to be generous and
congratulate the parents.
Al Wise who has been on the
sick list for the past six months
thanks all those who so kindly
remembered him.
Roger Culver Metalsmith of
our shop and now in the Navy
was home recently and paid the
shop a visit We are always
glad to see our boys come home
to us and are looking forward
with eagerness to the day when
they can all come back.
The lousiest petty larceny
that we have seen is the cheap
screwball who breaks the glass
in the front of the canteen for
one measly candy bar.
Many thanks to Abner Smith
our cafeteria man for donating

Another of our boys now in

in dept 81. You remember
Harold Zunk, that was him.
Although Ralph said he didn't

REMEMBER
By Ted MOdrOwski

REMEMBER
When apprentices were mick
ey cleaners?
When almost everybody rode
bicycle to work?
The big flood in Dept. ! be-
fore the roof was completed on
the new addition?
The Cameo baseball team with
the canvas suits? Some of the
stars are still with US.
John Blank, the only local
man to make a success of Super
intendent at our plant?
The grocery store that was
operated by the Cameo Thrift
Club?
Bill Mettler playing the piano
for noon hour dancing on the
second floor?
The gym on the third floor
where the fellows boxed and
played basketball?
Those were happy days some
25 years ago but management
sure has changed.
HERE AND THERE
Following is an expression of
claims by individuals for the
coming year:
Leonard LykoWski will be the
most ambitious fellow in the
plant.
Frank Konczal is going to be
a real business man.
Frank Nadolny is going to
start bowling
Johnny Powers is going to
quit falling in love so much.
Floyd MadrzykoWski is going
to devise a new method of fas-
tening three -cornered pants.
Lillian Belly will quit dis

THINGS TO REMEMBER

Of address to the company and

In cases of absence you must

day or lose your seniority.
Pay your dues on time. Two
months in arrears means sus-
pension from the Union. A good
idea is to pay your dues in ad-
vance-NOW.
The American Can Unit meets
the second Wednesday of each
month. Mark your calendars and
make that a standing date.
Local II meets the second
Friday Of each month. Make it
your business to be to at least |
half of these.

but then Mr.. O'Neal who is the di-

might have been an awkward and
embarrassing moment turned out
to be a very interesting meeting
for me.
With the music of the subway
roaring in our ears, Mr.. O'Neal
listened to my praise about the
grand work of the American Negro
theater and encouraged me as he
outlined the possibilities of such
theatre groups being set up in Chi

that such action needed people who

promised that he and his cast would
be happy to meet with some of our
young people who were interested
in building theater and try to give
them some encouragement and

F.D.R.'S STAMPS
WILL GO ON SALE

j. NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-REThe
late Franklin Delano Roosevelt
wa, recogn led as america
Number One sta mp collector, sc
It might be said that America :, 5
Number One stamp collection will
be offered at public auction sales
In February and April.
The late president was an ardent
collector since he was about seven
wears old, when his mother gave
him stamps and letters from the
correspondence of his grandfather
who had held an official position
in Hongkong.
As president Of the United
States. Mr.. Roosevelt held a po-
sition which enabled him to add
substantially to his collection and
E1at he did so is proven by the
contents of the $50 albums which
have been consigned to H. r.
Harmer, Inc, East Fifty-Sev'
enth St., New York, to be sold 1t
six auction sessions on Feb. and
S, April i and q.
Almost as soon as he moved into
the executive mansion, clerks In
the State and other departments
which received large volumes OF
mail franked with high denoml-
nations of other lands, began saw
ing them and sending parcels to
the White House It intervals. Be
cause of his many public indorse-
plents Of the hobby which he pur-
sued so enthusiastically, t n e
were few persons who did not
learn of his personal interests in
collecting postage stamps.
From every corner of the world
stamps came to the White House.
They were gifts from govern
ments, public officials, prominent
figures stamp dealers and from
Just ordinary fellow collectors. One
New York stamp auctioneer is
said to h:ve forwarded to Mr..
Roosevelt every stamp upon which
he bid, without a bill, simply in

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 16.-Gen.
George C.. Marshall cannot be ex-
pected to accomplish alone the OBJ
jectives of his possibly historic
mission to China. .~
Official American concern and
interest in China probably has
never been higher. Short. Of Presi-
dent Truman himself, probably no
one could be going. to Chungking
as our new Ambassador with
greater personal prestige.
Even so, Gen. Marshall will be
faced with delicate and complicat-
ed problems. They are tWo-fold,
but intimately mingled:
1. How to complete the disarm-
ing and repatriation of japanese
troops in China and at the same
time to keep American forces help-
ing in this job, from getting mixed
up in China's long-threatened civil
war. -
2. How to help the Chinese avoid
that civil war and unite for a
strong and democratic China that
will strengthen the peace.
There is no question but that the
Chinese would like to avoid civil
war. Each side hesitates only at
the possible price which it fears
it may have to pay for peaceful
unity.
The Communists hesitate to sub
NIT their independent armies to the
Central government because they
say that government still is
dictatorship and intends to go or
debating.
The Central government hesitate:
to institute democratic, reforms
which would give the Communist
the political voice they demand
because it fears the Communist
would take strong-arm measure
to control all China. a
These fears and suspicious ar
rooted in 10 years of intermitten
: civil strife. The Communists ant
the Nationalist Kuomintang part
worked together to overthrow tn
