SWEEPINGS
from
American Floor

A NEEDED practice game
"A Tuesday with the Plaskon
ball team led us to a victory
this Thursday. Score 5-4, defeat
ing the Plaskons again. The star
player on our team, Bob Lin
denmuth ("Meat Ball" and sew
eral other odd names this man
has acquired), played a great
game. Without his playing our
team would give up hope, A
great comedian and fine sport,
our hats off TO Bob. We declare
him the player of the year.
When news is low, one must
put some very caustic remarks
in print, however, what a per-
son should do when looking
around for news is-watch
his own business and things
will go along smoothly. What
say?
The shop took on new life
again last Thursday when all
the women returned after a
short lay off.
LOST: One screw driver-a
pet part of Ralph Schlagheck'S S
tool box. This screw driver has
been with Ralph for eleven
years, A very small tool, so if
you should see it, please notify
Ralph. Thank you all.

ed finishing the drum machines.
A painter for a while, then to
the machine shop on a drill
press. Kay spent 36 months in
the Army in the E. T. o. When
he returned he started back in
the machine shop on the milling
machine where he still works.
Kay was elected Vice Chairman
of Committee a few weeks ago.
His many hobbies include hunt
ing, fishing, working with radios
and photography.
For the next two weeks our
factory will be closed for vaca-
tons. All that will remain is a
small skeleton crew to maintain
needed incoming and outgoing
work. Contrary to ideas of get
ting sun burned, lazy, and tFav-
cling until the day of our re-
turn, let's take it easy on our
selves and our pocket books. In
the end we will all be more
satisfied by resting our two
weeks. Whatever you may do,
have fun and stay healthy.

III VA folks. BY this time you
are enjoying your vacation
to the utmost of your strength
Well don't overdo it, because
you know there is still work to
be done when you come back in
August. Isn't that an awful thing
to mention but it's a fact. So
let's make the best of it.
Well it seems we have cigar
smoker in the Inspection dept.
At least that is what she tried to
do. Of course the results would
be hard to explain, isn't it Ar
dine? At least she gave it a try,
with the old saying, IF at first
you don't succeed, try, try
again"
It's terrible how some people
get all hepped up over the least
little thing, especially these hot
days. They have to go near a fan
to cool off and if that helps more
power to you. But our advice is
to stay cool in the first place.
You people who read this should
know who it refers to, SO no
names will be mentioned.
How some people, especially
the office workers, foremen,
supervisors, and even workers
can walk around the shop and
not even bid another person
the time of day is beyond our
recollection. This has happen
ed every day around the shop,
SO maybe they think they are
too nice for our class. If that
is the reason why not at least
make a face at them, think it
over, everybody.
California has their hot rod
cars, but you never saw the hot
rod we have at the shop from the
inspection dept. meaning Al
Sharrer and that pipe he smokes.
Is that to keep the bugs away
from you Al?
Why do people sit on the
benches out side at noon, first to
eat their lunch, then to wait. for
street car, especially the Cher
ry. or maybe they ought to be
told there are no more cars. How
about that gang?
They have an Alley Oop in the
funny paper, also we have one at
the shop from dept. 2, what about
this Elmer Koons? Maybe you
had better get rid of that middle
spread or else a hard time will be
encountered when you go to tie
your shoe.
A Websters dictionary will be
sent along with your next issue
of the Union Journal Mary Kral-
ack of dept 10. 1t seems in last
weeks news of the Air Way she
mistook CARP" for some other
word, we'll you can imagine what
that word was, or do we have to
draw picture of it. Ha, Hal

Notes
BY Barbara Kohler

Our deepest of sympathy goes
to Rea Van Klingeren in the loss
of her mother who was killed
in an accident at Traverse City
and whose father is also in the
Munson Hospital at Traverse
City in a serious condition. II
Van Klingeren is brother OF
Van Klingeren who arrlv e q
here recently from Holland.
Glad to hear that ClOdene
is home and recovering very
nicely after her operation.
Sorry to hear Stella Rosik is
in the hospital and hope she has
a speedy recovery.
In memory of Mrs. Susanne
Van Klingeren: "Altho we can
not see her smiling face or hear
her gentle voice, she will remain
always in our memory" From
her many friends and associates
at the Toledo Stamping Co.
Glad to hear that Jerry is
back from the hospital. Hurry
kid. We miss you.
Lillian Karmel is spending
her two weeks vacation in
Jackson.
Mrs. Ruth Ducat and family
are back from a two weeks
vacation at Colne, Michigan.
Lots of fish says Ruth.
Eddie the Time Checker is
spending his vacation at Cadil-
lac, Michigan. We all hope he
has grand time.
Mary and Florence are now
serving mixed drinks in the
coffee room. You can now

! turned or the fish we should say,
for Esther of the mixer line. She
says the fish just wouldn't bite
last week. Well must you have
all the fish in the lakes, what do
you suppose the other fish would
think, if you took all their play
mates away from them. Better
luck during your vacation Esther.
The way these millwrights
wreck different parts of the
building seems almost like an
atomic bomb was dropped. OF
course it is their duty to Iemove
certain parts for the expansion
program, but they also can be a
little more careful how they do
/ it, especially when it comes to
glass or an air drill.
All of our good union boys of
dept. Il seem to be having diff
ficulty with the inspection stew
ard. What's the matter fellows,
you should be ashamed of your
selves picking on such a little
man, wait till he grows up to
your size.
We now have a little contest
as to who is the tiredest person
around the shop and office. Last
week it was noticed while our
executive shop committee was in
Il the office transacting business
deal that a certain persons foun-
tain pen ran out of ink. Instead
of filling it himself it was given
to his secretary for refill. Now
if that isn't the LATEST thing
then we miss our guess. Let's
hope you take it as a joke. Ha.
The night shift had better
start to sing the prisoners
song, if they intend to be
treated like one. Maybe if they
were given striped suits that
would fill the bill, but in any
case why are people treated
like that. Surely there must be
no cause and if so then the
person responsible should wear
the side arms instead of the
guards at the gate.
Well folks this will be the last
you will hear from the old news
hound till after that long and
much needed rest, meaning va
cation. But will be back as soon
as possible.
We have heard of women fall
ing for men, but now comes the
time when a woman falls for a
box. How about this Hilda
Solorik. They tell me that you
really fell and hard. What an
awful situation to be in ana
quite embarrassing.
Well we have few birthdays
this final edition of the Air-Way
Airings. First we have Dave War
lner who celebrated Friday July
16, also Ann Patterson of Dept
IL who celebrated the 1eth of
July. Happy birthday folks.

Union Politics

Sends QUESTIONABLE

WASHINGTON (LPA) - A
new atte mpt to intimidate
unions this time by implying
that union funds are in jeopardy
if unions take political action
was made last week by Rep.
Ross Riley (R., Okla.).
Riley, chairman of the House

tional unions a questionnaire
about their prediction activity

Harley law, the section which
forbids unions to spend funds of
the union are located, and how
they are disbursed.
Violates Civil Rights
While sending the information
requested, United Auto Work
Secre y-treasurer
Emil Macy has written Riley
telling him that the unions "are
strongly of the conviction that
that section is unconstitutional
and violates the basic civil and
political rights of members of
this union Both the timing
and the wording of your inquiry
to be intended not so
much to secure any information
relevant to any proper purpose
of congressional inquiry, bu t
rather to intimidate and deter
labor unions and other groups
of individuals in the exercise of
their constitutional r G h is and
duties to participate freely in
the 1948 primaries and lecions.

Dear Mr.. New York Central:
We are a few of the many
hard working Champion en-
ployees. We do not get many
chances to see a circus. So
whenever a circus is going to
come to town we try to get
to see it as it passes our shop
on your railroad line. Recently,
you have been guilty of depriv-
ing us of this pleasure by al
lowing your freight trains to
pass the shop at the same time
the circus train does and 1t
blocks our view. We implore
you to stop this practice by re-
moving all freight trains when
ever a circus train is sched-
uled around Toledo. We hope
you will cooperate with us, if
you do not we will have Mr..
Stranahan buy your railroad
and make it into a golf course.
Yours truly,

Libya Found Cool
To ItaIy's Return
WEST REPORTS DEMAND
FOR INDEPENDENCE
SOVIET VIEW DIFFERS

London, July II - The inhab1-
tants of Libya do not want the
Italians back as trustees or other
wise, observers of the United
States, Britain and France con-
clude in repor made available to
interested governments today.
Even the Russians on the four
power, commission found it nee
essary to stress what they consi-
dered to be the general desire a.
mong the Iibyans for unity, al
though implying that the populace
would be satisfied to see the Itali-
ans back, despite the fact that
those questioned did not say so.
The Soviet policy, as stated be-
fore the recent Italian elections,
is to return the African colonies
to Italy as trustee.
The Russian role in the ten
weeks investigation made on the
spot by the four-power commits
sion was throughout purposeful
and never objective. The French
wanted to keep the Fezan, about
Z quarter of Libya in the South
western corner, and the British
promised the Senussis of eyre
maica that they would not permit
the Italians to return.
The only official United States
stand was taken during the peace
treaty discussing; it was that
the United Nations should re-
ceive the trusteeship.
