This requires an active mem
bership, large enough to
acquaint the people with oul
program to provide greater Sc
curity through passage OF
social legislation.
In addition to our Setup
which provides for block lead
ers to canvass each block,
there are certain standing
committees, whose work is
very important. These include
education (Which is now plan
ming and preparing series of
discussions), publicity, legisla-
tive, welfare, recreation, en-
tertainment, speakers, veter-
ans, organization and research
committees.
Regarding the standing
committee and their work, l
wish to extend congratulations
to two local PAC workers
who recently said II do"
They are Mr.. and Mrs. AL
phonse Sarno.
Mrs. Sarno, formerly Mrs.
Margaret Merritt, is the chair
man of the PAC entertain
ment committee. The series of
dances sponsored by PAC
were all arranged and directed
by the entertainment COM
mittee.
Al Sarno, now active on the
entertainment committee, was
formerly a member of the To-
ledo Joint Board of Whole
sale and Retail Workers-CIO.
He Is now a member of the
AFL printers union. We in
tend to activize many more
people in PAC besides mem
bers of CIO.
The whole entertainment
committee has done a credit
able job in providing enter
tainment to bring the PAC
programs closer 10 the people.
Other members of this COM
mittee are Loretta Schillinger,
vice-chairman. Lillian Watson,
secretary; Don Blair, treas
urer, and Rueben Harper,
William Healey, Stanley Hell
miniak, Ziz Lesczynski, Will
liam Klockowski and Ken
meth O'Brien. Speaking for
the PAC l extend thanks to
the entire committee for a
good job, well done. Next Sep
tember the entertainment
committee will announce its
program for the 1946-47 sea-
son.
Credit for much of the sue
cess of the entertainment COM
mittee goes to THE TOLEDO
UNION JOURNAL which saw
to 1T that all entertainment af-
fairs were well advertised.
The idea for an entertain
ment committee to plan regu-
lar social affairs for members
and friends of PAC was ad-
vanced and promoted by Rich
ard Gosser, PAC manager.
The success of the entertain
ment program is further evil
dence of Brother Gosser'S
ability to judge what is
needed to make things tick.
Congratulations are also
due Frank PuskaS, PAC recre-
ational director, his softball
directors, Walter Seymour and
Scotty Erwin, and the boys on
the PAC softball team for
holding the lead in the Local
IL League.
There are openings for
active people on all of the
committees mentioned above.
Anyone wishing to serve on
any of these PAC committees
drop a line to yours
truly at 425 Winthrop st.
Another bright spot in the
record is the way some shops
have enrolled their member
ship 100 per cent in PAC.
these are Lakeside
Biscuit, Standard Commuta-
tor, Gordon Bumper, A c me
Speciality, A. c. Hopping and
Buckeye Paint. Also Local

PAC. Shops almost but not
quite 100 per cent include
Ensign, Sheets Elevator and
Many larger shops have en-
rolled many members, al
though not in the 100 per cent
group. Membership is i'm
