Letters from our boys in serv-
ice expressing their thanks and
appreciation for our letters and
gifts make us all proud of the
work we are doing through our
Servicemen's Gift Fund. What
it means to these boys, far from
their homes and loved ones, to
know that they are remembered
by those they worked with be-
fore entering the service can be
seen in the following letter,
which is typical of the many
received:
Near Honolulu
March IL, 1945
Dear Fellow Workers:
Many thanks for your letter
and money order which | re-
ceived the other day. 1t always
makes me feel good when / re-
ceive your letter and gift for it
shows that you are all back of
us boys who are in the uniform
of our great country, the U. S. A.
You mention the fact that
there are 784 in service from
our plant now, so that means
nearly $2500.00 you folks send
to us boys every month. l, for
one, certainly think it is grand
of you all and can see that it
must be lots of work for the
committee. Your time and work
are we'll spent, l assure you, 1t
takes folks like you to make this
world a much better place for
us all to live in.
l also know you will all work
hard to give us the stuff we need
to finish up this mess. SO keep
up the good work, boys and girls
of the Auto-Lite, and my very
best to all of you.

Let's keep letting these boys
who are fighting our battles
know that we are thinking of
them and are back of them
100 per cent. Make certain that
you make your contribution TO
the Servicemen's Gift Fund reg
ularly every month.
1t was with deep sorrow we
received word that Brother Ger
aid Rex, formerly of Dept. 80.
has made the supreme sacrifice
for the cause of human freedom.
Brother Rex was killed in action
in Belgium. We extend our
sympathy to his family and to
his brother, who works in
Dept. %.

We want to extend our thanks
to Shorty" Sager for the work
he has done for the past months
as your shop reporter. Shorty"
has taken up a much easier task
as a member of the executive
committee. Our column was
equal to any published in the
JOURNAL. Before taking up
his duties as shop reporter
Shorty" had nice wavy hair,
but look at him now. From the
bottom of our hearts, we wish
Shorty" success in his new job
on the committee.
STOPPAGE
Our recent work stoppage"
was ally not stoppage
brought about by the workers,
but came after the management
shut off the power. The true
facts on this were reported in
last weeks JOURNAL. (Toledo
Blade please copy.
Our soldiers fund is main
tanned by voluntary contribu-
tions and all should consider it
a privilege to be able to do a
little bit for the boys who are
doing so much for their country.
Despite this, there are certain
people in dept. 36 who have
taken it upon themselves to
make their own rules. 1t was the
act of our Unit that the names
be posted on the shop bulletin
boards showing those who gave
and those who did not give to
the fund. If the brothers who
tried TO change the rules had
the meeting and voiced
their protest instead of trying to
force the Unit to change its
rules outside of a meeting they
would be a lot better off.
Meantime, our stewards must
be and will be protected against
who seek to intimidate
them when they are carrying
out the instructions of the Unit
body. Congratulations for all
who are giving to the fund and
o the stewards who are doing
their duty.

WORTH 1T?

1. Payoff during working
| hours.
2. Relief periods.
3. Increased vacation benefits.
A. Light morning lunches.
5. Adjustment of inequalities.
The above are a few of the
benefits that have been added
to the many that had been
gained in the past. Do some of
you still wonder why you pay
buck a month? The big trouble
in the majority of plants today,
e spe e cially ours, the newer
people take the present condi-
tions for granted and do not
realize that it was a long, hard
struggle to transform those
gains from dream to realities.
Some people will never come to
realize that individually they
have no strength. And there are
also some who have failed
to join the Union and for
get that seniority is the property
of the people and unless they
carry a card-well. Pass the
the word along and put these
parasites wise before the big
push comes.

HELLO EVERYBODY and A
Happy New Year. Now that the
holidays are over and we. the mem
bers Of the Quack Club, YWCA.,
are ready to start the second part of
this club year, we thought it a duty
to give to the public a summary of
our work up to the present time, from
its beginning in September.
A Bigger and Better club year has
been our motto for this year. Since
most of our members have taken
War Time obs, it has been almost
difficult to get the members out, and
we do want to express Our gratitude
ito those members who are attending
under those difficulties and the mem
bers that returned to the club and
were reinstated this year. We now
have a membership of 35. Our act
ivities were very interesting and kept
the club full of life. We had Il
opening meeting and installation Of
officers by Miss Elizabeth Jordan.
Our new Executive Secretary on
September Is, 1914. These members
were installed as officers and with a
few exceptions which excuses that
are eligible are doing a fine work.

responding Secretary. Miss Ann
Johnson; Financial Secretary. Mrs,
Anna Mary Kennedy; Our chairman

mended for their fine work. They
