dreds of patients suffering from polio.
 Monsieur he said fervently, this wonderful institution for polio is one of the fine examples of Amer. ica's good neignbor policy"
 It was In ie43 soon after Amer ican troops had landed in North Africa on the long road to Berlin that an ambulance halted before a big white building. Young Alan Darlan was lifted out. His condition was critical.
 Darlan had been stricken with polio while serving as his fathers liaison officer during the North African campaign. He was flown to Warm Springs on instructions Of late President Roosevelt-this foundations most famous patient.
 T think it is wonderfully appro. priate that this institution, founded by Mir. Roosevelt, should follow so closely his ideas of being a good neighbor to other countries" Dar- Ian said. When just one polio vic- tim from a foreign country Is per. mitted to enter this hospital. every one in that country appreciates it. Nothing brings people and nations closer together than suffering"
 Darlan, now 8, was in the line of wheel chairs by which the cortege of Mir. Roosevelt moved the day after his death. The foundation is soon to be dedicated as a national shrine to the late president.
 I'm going back to France soon" 1" Darlan said. 4 shall be glad to see my homeland again but one hates so to leave this place. Truly it is a world missionary to the suf- fering.'

Phone Tieup Threatens

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 (LPA)-
A sympathy strike of telephone
operators, starting in New York
and New Jersey and perhaps ex-
tending over the nation, was
threatened last week by the
Western Electric Employees Assn.
an affiliate of the Natl Fedora
ton of Telephone Workers.
Western Electric, workers in
New York and New Jersey voted
almost six weeks ago in a Smith
Connally pool to reinforce their
demand for 800 wage in
crease by going on strike. The
company had offered 15%o
wage increase, which was re-
jected by the union. The strike
is now set for Jan. 3.

Lakeside Unit


Our Unit voted at the Decem-
ber meeting to pay S1.00 per
member weekly for the aid of
GIN strikers. No assessment was
ever passed for a Worthier cause.
We are more than proud that
the assessment carried by unan-
imous vote.
Negotiations b etw cen the
Union and Lakeside management
were reported to have proceeded
smoothly at the first meeting
held in the Commodore Perry
Hotel. Howeve, money talks and
we hope we will hear from it at
the next meeting, scheduled for
this week.
Our management gave its
third annual Christmas party
for the employees, Saturday
afternoon, Dec. %. Judging
from the debris scattered around
the next morning, the party
was a great success.
Now is a good time to make
New Years resolutions. We sug-
gest the following:
/. Sign up our shop 100 per
cent in PAC.
2. Each member send a post
card to the congressman whose
names will be found on our bull
letin board in which you protest
the anti-labor legislation now in
the hopper awaiting congress
sional action.
3. Continue to make your
regular Unit meeting steady
date.
Jimmy Wright is reported to
have made a resolution to alb
stain from his "schnappS". He's
only kidding, of course.
Don Williams, Shorty" Camp
bell, Irma Reed and Marie Bar
ron are on the sick list, Hope
they will soon be back with us.
Victoria Legman spent Christ
mas visiting her daughter in
Moo Yawk, ditto Theresa Win
termantle who went to Mich
igan to see hers.
When her son Jimmie re-
turned home from the war, Mar
jorie Lloyd got the Christmas
present for which she has been
waiting for the past four years.
How's about stepping to East
Toledo to see how Maxine looks
in that sharp robe and slippers
which were presented to her by
the Unit. She makes the robe
look sharp, l betcha.
That's all, except Happy
New Year to all our fellow mem
bers and friends in and out of

The
Acklinite
By Bud HerrOOn

Well here we are in 1946 and
l hope everyone had a Happy
New Year. With the start of this
New Year let everyone put
forth their best, ,efforts to max
ing 1916 the best, as / think it
is going to offer some golden
opportunities.
Last week the committee Vot-
ed on sending two delegates to
the conference at Lima, Ohio,
Jan. 5, 1946. Frank Young and
Danny Zielinski were elected to
60
You know when grown people
were very little youngsters, if
things did not go their way they
got mad, kicked people, called
them names, and in general
did all they could to give the
person black name. AS
they grew up they found that
they were much better liked and
got along better without all of
this backbiting and double-cross-
ing. 1t would be much better for
some people at Acklin to be
honest and fair with their fell
low men, there would be much
more harmony if that were the
case.

Bulletin
Local 491-Standard
PrOductS-Port Clinton
TWO-BIT PEGLER

Walter Krupp, the Port Clin-
ton jerk editor who tries to du-
plicate the stuff written by
Westbrook Pegler and ends up
by not even being a good re-
print of a reprint, took off last
week on the Union at Standard
| Products.
Like Peg, Kruppy complained
bitterly because a clause in the
Union contract makes Union
membership a condition of en-
ployment. Krupp'S argument
about freedom" etc, is the same
old reprint which Peg uses, only
not as we'll written. He'll, l
know guys who belong to the
same organization as old man K
who got kicked out for non
payment of dues and so does he.
Don't let it get you down,
folks, Krupp is just trying to get
himself in solid with the cor
porations around these parts.
He spews his poison ivy as so
much a speW, or rates as the
worlds biggest chump if he
isn't getting paid off. After all,
men must live, even drips like
Walter Jerkly Krupp. 1t takes
guys like him to make us ap-
preciate the decent people we
meet in life.
And still people go on sup
porting him, or could it be that
the ad rag he runs isn't so
healthy and he must find some
additional means of keeping it
alive? Oh well, remember what
Christ said when they crucified
him, Father forgive them, for
they know not what they do.
There always comes a day, and
Kruppy's is approaching.
Louie Novak'S wife ended his
anxiety last week by presenting
him with a baby boy. Weighing
in at 8 lbs. 6 ozs., the young
Tarzan is daddy's pride and joy
Bob Calm is back after a bout
with a nervous complication at
the local hospital.
Marion Dix still on the mend
from a recent cutting job at the
local hospital will recuperate a
bit before returning to our midst.
Who is the greasy-shirted
restroom politician who tries to
make himself appear to be
martyr by not paying dues?
Boy, page Kruppy.
Marga Chase has taken a
leave of absence.
Ted Kaiser and Red Good,
both good foremen, are out of
Standard and starting business
of their own. Good luck to good
lads.

JAW Veteran
Rebukes Colonel

DETROIT, Dec. % Joseph
Veloskey of the UAW- -CIO Vet
Grams Department, charged to-
day that Col. J. c. Campbell,
commander of the 21st Replace
ment Depot in the Philippines,
was attempting to create resent
ment against striking workers in
the minds of overseas service
men.
A dispatch from the Asso-
ciated Press" said Valoskey,
reports that Col. Campbell re-
buked more than 1000 CTS who
were protesting against INTERIM
Unable delay in their shipment
back home. Col. Campbell is
quoted as having said: You men
forget you're not working for
General Motors. You're still in
the Army
Col. Campbell's clumsy
handling of an already badly
miShandled and scandalous ship
ping situation will not have the
effect he wanted it to have"
Veloskey said. Servicemen
will be quick to agree with him
that working for General Motors
is not the same as being in the
Army. Workers fed up with
brass-hat red tape and ineffi-
cheney in industry have their
democratic right to protest and,
if necessary, to strike. 1t is to
that right the the Gen
eral Motors workers out on
strike now, with thousands of
returned veterans participating

The one dollar assessment for

January. Better get down to
the dues window, present your
union card and pay same.
1t seems Gladys Rubedeua
had the right of way, but came
out second best in collision
with another car. Maybe case
of a woman driver finding out
the hard way, that she's not the
only one on the streets. (We're
only kidding, gals.)
Vivian Humphreys has taken
a leave of absence. Why? Well
now friends, after all, hubby
just got home.
Hey, what's a flue pump?
Felix knows where he can get
fuel pump, but that can't be the
same thing. Or can it? Yeh, can
it.
Irene Livergood expects to
leave the employ of the Toledo
Stamping, sometime after the
first of the year, to return to her
first love, namely, the art of
culinary. She will be missed by
the many friends that she has
made in the shop.
Excuse us for asking, but we
were wondering if anyone ever
bothers to read this column. Not
that we're looking for any glory,
but we used to get some COM
ments, both good and bad, which
we don't get anymore. Love us
or hate us. but don't ignore us.
Our idea of right guy is one
who wouldn't give Damn for
your opinions, but would respect
your reasons for them. That per-
son would be fair to everyone
including himself.
All, yes, Happy New Year,
gang. New Years, that's when
folks who don't like the things
they do, go to the trouble of
making resolutions that they
don't expect to keep, We're re-
minded of roses, also.
All yes, it's good news tonite.
Santa Claus left token of good
intentions on Roses third fin
ger of the left hand. On second
thought, it must have been
Johnny.
Something new has been add
ed. It's a touch of Hollywood.
We mean those dark glasses that
Tony Getz has been wearing.
"How l love that man." Mar
tha Everette, a ofrfer employee,
has given birth to baby girl.
1t seems that most every day
the Wabash Cannon Ball Ex-
press" comes in, it bears let
ter for Irene Tabbert from In
dianopolis. Could it be Spring
fever and it isn't even Spring."
That flash in the Miscellaneous
Dept. isn't the welders. It's Har-
riet Weber's new diamond ring,
a Christmas gift from daddy.
The Christmas weekend seems
to have been plenty tough on the
eyes, judging from all the bro
ken glasses.
Many of the employees are
laid up with colds and the flu.
We hope this finds everyone
that is on the sick list fully re-
covered.
Some people seem to require
a lot of time to recover from
those Christmas spirits. Ann
Plichcinski hasn't showed up all
week.
Overheard at the coffee win
dow last week: She's a suicide
blonde, dyed by her own hand.
From what we can gather,
Harry Mikolajczyk has had so
many experiences and troubles,
that Mr.. Anthony now writes to
him.

With the war years behind US
let us hope for better things in
the new year before us. We
surely hope for better bargain
ing relations with the manage
ment than we had in the past.
Let us make as great strides
forward in peace time as we did
in war time with our union acti-
vities.
Right now we are faced with
the job of LENDING aid to some
of our brother members who
have been on an authorized
strike for weeks for a living
wage increase. These men are
sacrificing weekly pay checks in
return for your dollar, which
will be repaid to you many times
over, due only to the sacrifice
these men and their families are
making each day. Let us all pay
this assessment cheerfully. Re-
member this is not a one way
street. You may need help some
day.
Bob" Snyder, repair shop
tool crib, gave the excuse for
'his absence the other day that
he was stranded on the ice in
Bowling Green. A very likely
story coming from him.
Ray Welker, Millright Dept,
must have been a very good boy
last year. Santa brought him a
new skull cap for Christmas,
which even adds little class to
the department.
Was that the fore-runner of
the incentive system for more
production when the cigars
were passed out in Dept. 80 the
day after Christmas? The ques-
ton is, who bought the cigars?
We know.
The boys in Dept Sc want to
know what committee Stanley
Ostopowicz is on. Every time
white collar comes into the
department Stan is on the job
for the interview.
Any one having any nice
shiny metal plates, get in touch
with Johnny Burdo, Dept. So.
When the name plate stock ran
out Johnny ran out of a job.
Johnny Urban, Earl Wagon
houser of Dept 6 and Pat Rams
dell of Dept. 80, have quit the
shop for other jobs.
Chas "Chuck" Wrayton will
be back in the bowling league
when the shop league gets un-
der way again Monday night. 1t
has been long time since
Chuck has thrown bowling
ball, spending three years over

come back, Chuck.
Loren Stambaugh, Dept 36,
has quit the shop to open an ap-
pliance store in Bay City, Mich.
Loren was member of the
Credit Union Board in our

in his department. We will miss
him very much as a very good
Union worker. Good luck to you

LOYAL CLAUDE

Claude Hess who has been
writing this column for over
three years was prevented from
doing his usual stint this week.
Hence the pinch-hitter.
While on Claude Hess, he is
a real loyalist. Loyal Hess
would fit him to perfection.
Claude isn't perfect, far from it,
but one thing nobody can take
away from him is his extra
ordinary loyalty to his union
and his friends. He's a diamond
in the rough and a swell guy.
We will try and give COM
plete report here next week on
the outcome of the GIN collection
in our shop to date. We know
that the people in WHY'S have
made a very fine showing de-
spite the fact that many of them
are not sitting too pretty. Our
people recognize the importance
of the General Motors fight and
will continue to do their bit until
the thing has been brought to a
satisfactory conclusion for the
union.
It's nice to see the folks COM
ing back to work again after
many of them were off due to
the Warner Gear argument. We
hope that WHY'S will really go
to town now that things are
looking up and that we can all
get things humming again. There
