TEMPTED

By T. A. HALL. Milford.
This world is full of grief,
It's sad; it's very sad.
Yet there is no relief,
Too bad; isn't it too bad?
1t takes a master mind
To run this old worlds sins;
Wouldn't you like to find
Where the wrongs of life begins?
Well, it started in a garden-Gen. 8,
Yes, funny place to start
When the Devil tried to harden
A loving woman's heart.
And it seemed that he succeeded
In the absence of her man;
For the record says she yielded,
GIL rhyme this if 1 CAM
And then she gave to him-Gen. 8 :6
And both of them did eat;
Twas the beginning of human sin
All humans have to meet.
But the Devil has no power
Over any human will;
He had none in that hour,
It's the very same way still.
It's only as we yield-James IA
To Satan's tempting power;
| CWhat blessing to be sealed
By Grace in life's tempting hour.)
So if tempted to do wrong
Just say OLD Devil git;
Tell him you still belong
To the King of Glory yet.

SHADOW PLAYS FOR OVERSEAS
CTS WIRED FOR SOUND.
MicrOphOnes Give New Realty To
Sheet Images

CLARK FIELD, P. I.-Partici-
patton in shadow plays" serves as
a stepping stone back to health for
many neuro-psychiatric patients,
according to American Red Cross
recreation workers at Fort Stotsen-
burg's hospital in the Philippines.
Shadow plays are not new" one
Red Cross staff member said, "but
we've added a few new wrinkles.
In addition to the strong lights be-
hind the players which throw shad-
ows on a sheet, we use two hidden
microphones to pick up the actors
voices"
In discussing the value of this
type of Red Cross hospital recre-
alton. the worker explained that
where it would be impossible to
persuade many of the servicemen
to take part in a legitimate play
shadow plays serve to hide their
bushes and give them sense OF
confidence.
"Once they start using their
voices and get over the first shock
they take pride in giving a gooC
performance. It's real stride to-
ward normal living"
AS far as entertainment goes
it's tops, the Red Cross worker
pointed out. "The pajama boys on
front love Especially tn,

PONCE DE LEON LED
FIRST GUARD UNIT

Not only is Porto Rico's Ma
tional Guard the oldest organiza-
ton in the u. S. Army, but in
number of units federally recog-
nized it is, one of the largest. in
the National Guard. It's total air
and ground strength exceeds 49,
600.
The Puerto Rican Guard claims
as its ancestor the early Militia,
organized in 1910, as its first COM
manding officer none other than
Ponce de Leon. The Militia fought
the Indian Wars. With Spanish
troops it repealed attacks by
French, English and Dutch invad-
ers. Significantly, in 1898 it did
not fire against the American flag
which it later defended in two
world wars. Afraid of growing
anti-Spanish feeling the island
government had already disband-
ed the Militia in favor of Spanish
volunteers. When American troops
landed, natives joined them.
In 1920 descendants of the Mi
htia were organized into the first
National Guard unit which was
afterwards designated as the 295th
Infantry. Noted for their loyalty
and their extraordinary sense OF
duty, Puerto Rican Guardsmen
were among those selected to
guard Goering and other top Ger
man prisoners.
Commanding officer of Puerto
Rico's National Guard and AdJu-
tant General of the island, Briga-
der General Luis Raul Esteves
was the first Puerto Rican to be
graduated from West Point. At
tributing the fine esprit &c corps
of his men to the fact that Puerto
Ricans consider it great honor
to belong to the Guard, Genera
Esteves goes on to explain thal
they "look upon the Guard mo-
only as a military organization tt
prepare it's members for the de-
tense of the nation, but also as
school for citizenship and Amerl
canism."
Among unusual services render
ed to the community, the Puerto
Rican Guard has undertaken
drive against illiteracy. in on
years time taught 1,2OO Puerto Ri
cans to read and write, is organ
izing Junior Companies" of can
didates for future enlistment, drill
ing them to provide reservoir Q
partially trained personnel for NIL
ing normal vacancies and for emer
gency recruiting.
Charged with the responsibility
of defending our most STRATEGY

Guardsmen could adopt no NOR

From The Desk
Melvin Schultz
President
Local II UAW-CIO

Did you know that once very 80 years the
total production of our Country doubles? Did
YOU know that on the average each year,
workers productivity increases 312 20?
These are facts proven by the history of
our Country 1t is this progress which has
made it possible for our standards of living
to be constantly improved. In reality, our real
worries concern those periods of time when
because of a lack of concrete planning, we
have economic setbacks. failure somewhere
within our boundaries allows our production
to race headlong over period of time to reach
a goal where distribution is inadequate to allow
continued production and consequently
recession or depression mars our progress.
Many articles and many speeches have been
written or made concerning wages and prices,
vet very little has ever been said or done
about distribution. This has been left entirely
to the discretion of our citizens to handle as
they may see fit, exercising their most selfish
prerogatives. l fully realize that price has
much to do with distribution, yet, prices could
be tackled in conjuction with methods of dis
tribution so that much duplication and waste
effort could be eliminated and the products
of our industries could be delivered to the
consumers at a much smaller cost.
These things cannot be done by themselves
but must be accompanied by program of
social security acts to insure the distribution
of the burden Of human security. In other
words the sickness or death occurring in one
family IS not only the concern of the i'm
mediate family but is the concern of everyone
within our boundaries and if this burden were
to be assumed by everyone, it would scarcely
be noticed by anyone.
We have a social security act now which
gives meager benefits to the aged 1t does not
take into consideration statistics which show
a variation because of sex, occupational
hazards, climatic conditions or other factors
which tend to make some people grow old
faster.
Space limits me here to one suggestion,
therefore, l would suggest that the age of 65
be dropped to figure which is variable so
that some of the aforementioned factors can be
given consideration. My suggestion for this
figure is SIS to go years of age which would
allow people to retire in their old age with
security.

spieker Committee

While the admission of failure and dis
banding of the Charter Study Committee
headed by A. Gideon Spieker is to be re-
GREETED, its end comes as no surprise to the
majority OF those who sat in at the initial
and final meetings in the Commodore
Perry Hotel.
The final outcome of the Charter Study
Committee in some measure is symbolic OF
the spirit which has to a greater or lesser
extent held Toledo back from the progress
il could enjoy if the various groups would
compose or compromise their differences.
1t is the spirit of "lets study plan to ad-
vance Toledo. We will both advocate
plan, but you must accept mine"
No doubt, solution for the political
differences of various groups of Toledo
citizens will eventually be found. How
ever, the lesson taught, but possibly not
yet learned, is that Citizens Committees
usually turn out to be just another method
of stalling a solution for the difficulties
they purpOrt to solve.

Director Region 2B, UAW,ClO

Director Region 2B, UAW>ClO '
Officers of the Political Action Committee
have informed me that they have about COM
pleted plans for the registration of ClO work
ers who are not eligible to vote at the present
time
In the light of all that has taken place
since last fall when an unfriendly Congress
was elected, it seems hardly necessary to call
the attention of the workers of this city to the
importance of registering and voting IN THIS
coming election and in every election. 10 90
less is not only to neglect our obligations as
citizens but what is worse, forces us to accept
public officials who are the choice of others.
One of the things that l have noticed
makes a lot of people mad is to have some
thing forced upon them which they do not
want and in which they have had no voice.
Yet there no doubt are thousands OF workers
who have had the TaftHartley law handed to
them who not only do not want the law, but.
who failed to vote in the last election to name
the men that make the laws.
ANGRY
Another thing that have noticed, and you
have too, is that when people are angry they
usually try to retaliate. If somebody hits you
on the Jaw, unless you are coward, you at
least try to hit them back. Make no mistake
about it. all of us have been hit and hit hard
by the men who are now holding places Ia.
Congress. Are we going to take it on the chin?
Or are we going to make attempt to fight
back and rid ourselves of those who have
shown themselves to be against us?
You the people who are not now eligible
to vote hold the answer to the question If you
want to name the men who make the laws in
our city, state and nation, the laws which you
must live with and by, then you will go at
once and protect yourself from getting the
things you don't want by registering and vot-
ing this fall and every fall.
I want to appeal to everyone who reads
this not to let another election go by default
to the people whom we know are not our
friends and who will oppose us if they are
elected to our city, state and national legisla-
lures Go to the Board of Elections and regis
ter. Do it at once and prepare to exercise your
rights as an American citizen this coming
November.

Our Hospitals

While the men and women of Gu
have ALWAYS been friendly to the hospitals
of Toledo and proved it quite recently
during the St Vincent's Hospital expan-
sion drive, they were incensed last MON
dav night when it was reported to dele
cafes Of the Toledo Industrial Union Coun-
ell that at least one Toledo hospital had re-
fused to give first aid treatment to emer-
gency cases.
In view of the fact that CIO is one OF
the largest contributors to the hospitals
directly. and indirectly through partlclpa-
tion in the Greater Toledo Community
Chest and the disqualification Service AS
sociation Of Toledo, great interest IS being
shown in the projected CIO investigation
of the handling of hospital emergency
cases, per diem costs and other factors
which effect not only ClO, but every citl'
zen of this community.
1t is our belief that the hospitals have
every desire to be of the utmost service
TO this community and its people and are
working under severe handicaps due to
nursing shortages and other factors which
make the operation of these institutions
difficult On the other hand, there may
also be the possibility that in some in
stances there has been letdOwn of the
high quality and efficiency which have
in general marked the conduct of hospitals
of this city.
There is no desire on the part OF ClO
TO cast any aspersions upon any hospital.
It merely wants to know the true facts
and determine from them whether or not
any action to remedy alleged conditions in
one or two hospitals may be necessary. 1t
Is far better for the public and the hos
pitals to have the ugly stories brought to
light than to allow the hospitals to be
damaged by grapevine charges that can
not be known to or denied by them.

Speak No Evil

Senator Bilbo of Mississippi is dead.
Despite the many derogatOry things
that have been published about him dur
ing his life, we will not speak ill of the
dead After all, the dead Senator, like
the kings of old, can do no harm. Besides
we do not admire the Pegler method of
exhuming the deceased.
While we have said and written many
sharp criticisms of some of our other
elected representatives, we hope that they
will recognize the implications in our re-
straint in dealing with the dead Senator
Bilbo. Let him rest in peace. Amen.
