We wonder how many mem
bers remember what Franklin D.
Roosevelt tried to go for the
Forgotten Man" These people
may have been good union mem
bers, upright citizens and liberal
in their beliefs.
We think the elected state re-
presentatives and senators have
done a rotten job on these people
by providing only $50 a month
Mos for their existence.
When the state liquor stores
were first started it was stated
that all profits derived from this
source would be used to provide
a suitable and livable pension
for these forgotten people.
1t might have worked out all
right if voters had not elected
John Bricker governor of Ohio.
This man has definitely proved
that he does not love people,
who through no fault of their
own, have lost everything but
their respect, and have had to
ask the state to support them in
the declining days of heir life.
Mr.. Bricker wanted to build a
large surplus treasury even if he
had to use the money that was
sarmarked for these peoples
pensions and the result was they
received as low as SIS to limit
of $50 a month.
With the cost of living where
it is we think it is a crime on
the part of the state legislature
asking people to live on $50 a
month.
1t takes a lot of "guts" for
"Jawn" Bricker to ask the vot-
ers of Ohio to elect a man of
his ilk to the U. S. Senate.
If you do not want to give
your birthright back to the In
dians, vote for man who be-
lieves in the underprivileged
and who also believes in organ
lied labor. Our choice is Mr..
Huffman.
1t has been confidentially re-
ported to us that Anthony Pud-
lecki of Dept. 404 is a lover OF
ice cream. The more he gets the

Champion Unit
Sparklets

George Roberts Jr. of Eng.
dept. was the proud father of a
baby girl recently. Congratuls-
tions are in order to George,
Mary and Daughter. Notice the
smile on the face of Granpa
Roberts of dept. "K".
Why does Lou Habicht, fore
man of Eng. dept, rush out at
quitting time? Maybe he still
has the fish market waiting his
attention.
Numerous Champion employ
ees were seen last Monday mite
at the boxing show sponsored
by Local No. IL at the Civic
Auditorium. It's interesting to
see the actions of your fellow
workers when they are excited.
Well be looking for you next
week; for tickets, contact your
steward or committeeman.
The Credit Union now has an
other supply of savings banks
available that also record the
date and month. Very handy for
saving for that new something
you've wanted for so long.
Chrm. Vern Montague can
now qualify as a 1st class fire
man after his experience in put
ting out the fire in his home
last week.
We wonder why the company
can't find a decent office for our
Credit Union. Is it that they
don't care if the people are sat-
isfied or maybe it's because they
just don't give a damn?
Our dainty little newlyweds
of department CD, Billie Brown
and Skip Young, have just re-
turned from their honeymoon.
Congratulations to both.
Beatrice Lenix, Inspector of
Dept. CD, recently was the
proud mother of bouncing boy.
This little article concerns our
own Fearless Notorious Hubert
Jennings. Quoting Jennings,
when my wife called me at
500 AM. the other morning,
and said that there was a man
peeping in her window, I jump
ed out of bed and into my pants,
slid on my winged slippers and
dashed out the door. At once /
Spied the peeper running like a
deer down the middle of the
street. Not once thinking of my
own danger, l gave chase and
overlook my 6 ft. opponent in
the fourth block from my house.
l quickly overpowered and re-
lieved him of a SaWed-off shot
gun and a 24-inch dagger. I
then waited for a strong arm of
the law to take him off my
hands. The officers told me that
l had performed a very noble
deed and should be rewarded.
My daughter then brought me
one of my 75c vitamin pills and
l was then able to return home" "

Boston, Mass, April l3--"Rank heresy and vile blasphemy" are the words used by Editor Emory Stevens Bucke in this weeks issue of zion's Herald, oldest Methodist Weekly, to describe the application blank for membership in the Ku Klux Klan
 Tn an editorial commenting the Miami Ministerial Association for taking what he calls "heroic step in passing a resolution opposing the revival of the Ku Klux Klan in South Florida and disassociating the Protestants from such an intoler- ant movement" pr. Bucke attacks the application which the prospec- tive Knight" must sign.
 Obviously no Christian could sign such a document" Dr. Buckle ob- served. No Christian believes in the supremacy of any race and no Christian believes in pure Ameri- canism' of the variety defined by the Ku Klux Klan."
 Stating that the movement is a denial of the "tenets of the Christi ian Religion" which the applicant is expected to affirm, the editorial calls upon all Protestants Ito act now in discouraging this movement before 1t gains ground"
