Wider Ironing Roords

Wider Ironing Boards
A wide board to fit on top of your
regular board for linens, draperies,
mems shirts and other large pieces
will save time and labor in ironing.
1t ca nbe put on or off the standing
board as, needed, and will save many
lifts of the iron and shifts of clothes
during ironing.
A width of 20 inches is suggested
for this board. The length OF the
board should be about AZ inches-or
slightly longer than the board on
which it fits. One end may be taper
ed for convenience in slipping clothes
over.
Cut the board from "a inch ply
wood or 5-ply wall board. Fasten
wooden cleats on the underside to
fit il to the lower board. To hold it
more firmly, wooden buttons may
be screwed onto the cleats which
NAV be turned to clamp on the under
board.
In tests, housewives have found a
wide board saves IS per cent on their
weekly ironing.
Clean Muddy Shoes
Even though dry mud comes off
shoes more easily than wet mud, 1t
is better not to let it dry before
brushing it off. Mud stains leather,
and the longer it stays on, the worse
tho stain is likely To be.
Scrape off moist mud as promptly
as possible and then wipe the lea
Their clean with a soft cloth. Let
shoes dry slowly and then polish.
Mud should be wiped off leather
gloves promptly.

By Lewis Mattox

THE drive to get our people to
l. register has been completed
very satisfactory, but we all still
have to vote and from a work
er's standpoint there's only one
choice for Congressman, Brother
Thomas H. Burke, 9th district.
Dewey Ashbury is the taxi
cab boy. He always takes a cab
to vote.
Charles GomersalI of the
Die Shop has been using his
car for a taxicab taking the
boys to register.
Grizella LOdzenski's boy
was hurt in an accident, we
all hope for the best.
Brother Howard Seren of Lo-
cal IL has been out to the shop
several times and says every
thing is OK.

iPnson and Ed Osborne - dis

mark and Al Backli are the two

Our Chief Inspector of the In

Must be awful light on your
head, hey Ollie.
Ted Iwanicki is the chief
and ace reporter. This
boy has connections. He con-
meets car parts, lawn mowers and
what ever you have to fix.
If you want a treat and it is
not something to eat, listen to
Ted and Bill Meyers on how to
keep Homer Ramey home. The
final conclusion was for the
workers. All-to-vote-for-l b r
candidate - Tom Burke.

Spicer News

The main issue at stake al
present is the election of Tom
Burke to Congress. All Spicer
workers should do everything
possible to get their friends to
vote for labor supported candi-
dates. We have all heard and
seen what anti-labor man can do
to labor. We have a swell chance
to change this at the voting
booths soon. Elect Tom Burke to
Congress, Frank Mohn to the
office of county Commissioner,
and Mike Damas to the House of
Representatives.
Tom Burke deserves the sup:
port and votes of all people that
work for a living. We must vote
for Tom so that he can help to
repeal the Taft-Hartley law.
Help to get proper housing pro-
jects started. Improve social
security laws and unemploy-
ment compensation.
Taking every thing in consi-
deration, the Strawberry Hop
kins dance was a success. A
sizeable check was given to him

By Hernn Bick

GREETINGS folks, howdy all,
" your old newshound once
more is bothering that Friday
night after-dinner nap to bring
you the news as it is told to him
and not his own ideas.
Who is the Bugs Bunny of
Dept, IA, none other than Elva
Cochran. She was seen chawing
away on hunk of lettuce, the
long ears are the only thing she
hasn't got.
The fellows of Dept. 2 are
complaining because they haven't
the same amount of supervisors
as Dept. IA, stop worrying fell
lows time will tell.
All Tony Denner and Tom
Burtch need now are badges and
blue uniforms. If they could get
permits they would also carry
guns, for all the watching they
do, it would be cheaper for them
to hire a watch dog.
1t is very catching these days,
in fact it has even gone up to
the office, we mean the dear old
Time Study Man. Last week
when timing a job, he became SO
disgusted he left the job. Come
now, Jack, do you pay the en-
ployees?
What happens when a fell
low stays home one day, can
only be told by Joe Mroz. He
was to go to room 8, instead
he bumped into the room of
C. Moore. Maybe neon signs
should be installed.
We've seen a lot of animals
climb trees but Jack Burtscher,
Jr., sees dogs climb trees after
he leaves BIS. Come now,
Jack, let's watch what we drink,
7-Up would be better.
Well folks, time is draw
ing near for you to do your
patriotic duy on Nov. 2, every
thing was done to make sure
of your registration, now its
up to you to put your man in
office, but keep our Tom
Burke on the top of your list.
The people wonder why Mil;
dred Hardwick has her nose ip
other peoples business. Could it
be for company reasons or just
her own, you figure it out.
We have. fugitive from JUS
tice in Dept. 10, none other then
Bob Jannerith, he kills poor
harmless flies with a sling-shot.
Such goings on, maybe he is get
ting in trim for bigger game.
Cry babies, cry, that seems to
be the trend with lot of peo-
pie around the shop because
some people with a lot of years
were taken off their regular
Jobs, and people with only a
few years stay on, referring
only to a certain steward. They
had the opportunity, it only
knocks once.
Well after almost a year, the
people have finally received
what they were looking for, the
settlement of the Contract, of
course it does not please all the
people, but then that would be
a Job for 7 c.

Ragging the
Scale
By BIabber Mouth

WE hear that our favorite fore
w man Art Burtscher took ex-
ception to the little stinkweed
tossed at him in this column a
week or so ago. He wonders It's
said why the committee is al
ways picking on him. Well Art
in our estimation there are but
three kind of foremen. One: the
kind who gives his men a break
whenever possible; Two: the kind
who gives them a break when he
can do so without jeopardizing
his standing and Three, the
stinker who never gives them a
break. Commune with yourself
Art and see which class you be-
long in.
If any of the members would
like a few lessons in shuttle
board or bowling look up the
old master Robert Albert Mar
tin our secretary and he will
be glad to show you just how
he beats Kenny.
Ted Suchocki was well pleased
with the unexpected service on
his car when Bob the mechanic
mistook it for another. Wish we
could all get ours fixed that
cheap.
We wish to thank the commit
tee on entertainment for the
swell job they did on the party
also Clyde Justus and associates
for the music, hope everyone had
a good time.

WE WONDER if the returning
w of Bob Walk will have any
effect on the production in the
shop. We do know that it will be
one more large salary. Look,
Louie, you're going the wrong
way; you should cut down on
those kind of jobs.
There will be a Chest drive
this month. We in the shop
hear a lot of complaints about
the Toledo Community Chest,
but we know there is some
good in the organization, serv-
Ing 42 agencies. Everyone is
asked to give what they can.
One of the fellows got ambi-
tious and sent in jingle for the
Chest contest, he writes thus, Il
enjoy giving away money, I'm
too old to enjoy life, and my wife
won't let me drink, so l have no
use for money.
