counists Ollie called and asked If would fill in
issue his column while he away How turn
down request like that? ask YOU
So here this hot summer afternoon sweating ten
drops of perpaon to every drop of ink Just lug feen
like a big shot
There's doggone many things happening this lii OIL
world of right that it hard pick out sub
of well known issues and maybe put slant
two on them.
Like the weather there much talking
little doing there is the matter of Union education In the
lack of good Union education but what members of
the Union becoming victims put other way)
propaganda against Unions the they
do lack knowledge of the truth about their Union and its affairs
The Union itself is not entirely at fault in this Maybe the
Union should find and better getting the
information to its members Maybe the Union should search
may think each member should take little responsibility
upon himself find what makes the organization that
represents him sales organization for his individual product
To my mind Union education accomplish three things
is useless First must acquain each member with the
accomplished the methods by which
they accomplished Secondly must future leader
keep present leadership fast
moving changes that either becomes better leadership
eliminates itself
We hear much about postwar and city planning The Toledo
debb" the City Plan Commission much political
has been INDUCED in the lack of master plan for the City
of Toledo.
may agree with everything the City Commission
does with other commission individual for that matter
However believe the Plan Commission has and doing
good planning considering the oolah they
been given work with Council and the County Com
appropriations during

sand dollars That's lot of sugar buThe Blade itself had

This pan according publicity reports in the neigh
borhood quarter million dollars. We work in the auto
industry that it is unusual for manufacturer
parts maker to spend million or more in the design de-
Velopmen oong and line equppng for the production of
new model
With the engineering talent and available In the
years Plan had little any greater
appropriations those which Now however the
light should turned full and given
complete planning Good city planning should three main
detectives. good city live and work WeLplanned
public works projects for Improvements
accomplish Point These public works projects be
ranged that they will provide employment private
industry unemployment take home that paid
by industry that the purchasing power czeny
is impaired as it during the last depression
My haven't to the end of topics
Tor conversation Gosh amt there lot of things think
In our world of today There's city government egsla
ton Union affairs price control many other things
hope to have the time jot down ideas and make
some more plain talks. So long for now folks
