ECORSE
Milo Gasion. editor


weeks issue Officer Campbell
was promoted 10 sergeant. not
officer Johnson. Campbell. a
long time resident of Ecorse, is
the best thought of officer in
the department especially on
the West Side.
Although there are others of
our group with excellent rec
ords Campbell's was the best.
Campbell and Johnson were
both hired the same day We
don't know which one signed
first, but Officer Johnson was
sure Of his job before anyone
else
There are other promotions in
the department and we know
our officers are going TO work
hard, and conduct themselves in
order 10 pass the acid test when
the occasion arises. Three cheers
should be given TO the city faith
ers for fulfilling one of their
many long time promises.
MISLAID TRUTHS
We certainly appreciate the
article from the Man about Town
in last weeks issue of the Twin
City Chronicle, letting the pub
lie know that c. Oliver and your
humble servant did not take all
the best jobs. The few Jobs that
were mentioned last week were
just about half of what we were
instrumental in helping others
get Don't forget we we're in
the drivers seat from '33 TO al,
and yours truly did not take a
political job until IA Now, I
guess. dear readers. you will see
where the truth was mlslaid.
THE DOUBLE CROSS
A certain select group met
AT a home on 10th street last
Thursday for the purpose of or
ganizing a political club on
party basis Just few people
were invited and most OF them
were OF the old line Of politics
The one who worked hard in
selecting the group in order that
he might be made the head was
given the double shuttle and he
found himself on the tail end
instead of head What did he
do? He flew into a rage and
almost burnt UP the telephone
wires in certain spots whore
he had made connections. Now
he's like the dog IN the manGer.
Oh we'll. that's nothing new
That group was always like
that The Good Book teaches
us that a house divided against
itself cannot stand No truer
saying has ever been uttered.
Let's get together, boys. and re-
member that If you can't be a
follower YOU can't be a leader.
