Every Monday certain people
in Dept. 10 take pleasure in
showing their bad dispositions
If we'd all practice a little of that
old slogan, Lets smile," we'd
have more friends. How about
it, Bud H.?
What became of your shyness

Happy birthday, Esther.
1t seems a good deal of credit

sure that the stock is unloaded,
plus working in the bitter cold,
but nobody seems to think about
them so let's take our hat off to

Rumors are that John Green

do we get that big party plus
those. 50-cent cigars, or do we
have to wait till the grandchild

Supply Unit NevS
By "Shorty" Sager

Our basketball team is going
along in good shape They are
losing lot of their games in
overtime periods. They play
every Monday night at Robinson
Jr. High School. Let's all go
and give the boys a little moral
support.
The boys in Dept. 43 nights,
thought they saw a light in the
crane, until they looked twice
and saw it was Chris with his
hair cut.
1t has been reported that
when Harold McVicker dis
covered his bird dog was dying,
he tried to sell it at half price.
Pinkey Zimmerman reports
that if he continues to sell ten
eggs for a dozen, he will pay
for his new car in hurry.
Now that Louie Ringman has
new superintendent to whom
he can talk face to face, it
should relieve him from that
sore back caused from stopping
over.
Bob Pugh is having a tough
time explaining about that car
ton of cigarettes the boys found
in his tool box.
We wish to express our deep
est sympathy to the family of
Louie Burdo who recently pass
ed away. Louie was an employe
of our shop for years. He was
loved by everyone who knew
him.
The following comprise our
election committee who will
handle our Unit election in
March: Ray Pund, Chet Phillips,
Harold Jones, Louie Angel,
Mike Vignivich, and Clint Bun
nell.
If the Company puts a few
more Committeeman and Ex-
Committeeman on salary it
won't be long until we will have
enough to organize the office.
We wonder if the high cost
of living and Louie Rocks large
family could have helped to
make up his mind to go on
nights.
The reason Ray Thurman uses
that long spout on his oil can
is to stay as far as possible
away from his work.

We have a well-known mem

very active at Moran't Point,
Mich, where he has cottage.
He belongs to the Volunteer Fire
Department, is very active in
politics.
Bill Mcdowell of the sprinkler
division who recently returned
from a Florida vacation, says
there is more snow and ice in
lhe south than he ever saw be-
fore. He said that when he was
in Miami, Fla, he slept under
two blankets and a couple of
comforterS.
Members of the Shiver and
Shake Club, better known as ice
fishermen, are reaping harvest
these days IN the time they have
left after cutting holes in the
ice, which is from 10 to Is inches
in the lake and as much, as 26
inches in the creeks. Bolles Har-
Dor has been producing some
good catches of perch from five
to 12 inches in length, but the
small ones predominant. Several
brothers have been doing con-
siderable fishing between Kelly's
Island and Putin Bay.
We are still curious why so
Inany of the old-tfme brothers
from the Trim Line Dept. 234 in

the many brothers will not allow
this to be a flash in the pan but
continue to attend all unit meet
ings. At our next meeting the
unit officers for the coming year
will be nominated and we should
have a full house. So plan now

SERVICE BUREAU
Did you know that you can
pay the following utilities bills
at Local IL headquarters, AIS
Winthrop ST.?
/. Gas
2. Light
3. Water
4. Telephone
Practically every member of
Local IL visits the union head
quarters at least once a month
to pay dues, have their dues
card punched for checkoff or to
attend their Unit meeting.
Because going downtown to
pay utilities bills several times
each month is a time-consuming
and usually irritating task, the
Local has provided this service
for it's members. Instead of
spending a lot of time going
on the street car, or
in driving and looking vainly for
parking space, why not use your
Locals service bureau to pay
your bills.
1t pays you to pay your bills
at Local IL.
Go to the special window in
the dues office to pay your gas,
phone, electric and water bill
and save time, trouble, energy
and even money.
