having the last one cut in two,
we will try and knock out few
more, but perhaps it would be
more merciful if we forgot the
whole thing.
Editors note: our apologies.)
Harold (Oily) Beck now cruis-
ing in a new Packard sedan.
Well kid, you will sleep better
with some of those Jumps re-
moved from your mattress any
way.
Joe (Varipapa) Pryson is now
coming to work smooth shaven.
He says $500 is much too much
to pay for one shave on COM
pany time.
Our Chairman Al (Calories)
Weckle is now back on the job
and raring to go after a seige of
illness. (Warning to Packard
Management AL is really get
ting in fighting shape so you
had better start saying yes once
in awhile to some of our reason
able requests. The Committee
has been promised some i'm
provements regarding safety
measures around here for six
months and we are getting tired
of hearing that old phrase, we
are working on it now.
The letter the company posted
on the bulletin boards COM
mending one and all on our fine
safety record is OK. as far as il
goes, but, Zone ounce of pre-
vention is worth pound OF
cure,) so let's get these working
hazards corrected Now.
Mrs. Dorothy Snyder is home
convalescing after her recent
operation and we are all tickled
to hear you are doing OK. but
watch your new cook Dot, he
may try to fry potatoes in some
600W or motor oil. Paul has
been Dragging about his deli
cious cooking but / am going to
reserve judgment until I hear
from you.
We were sorry to hear of the
bad luck suffered by Evelyn La
Bay and Millie Mcmillan of the
Martin Parry Unit, but it could
have been much worse, when
you tangle with a train running
at night without lights it is g
hard combination to beat. Eve
lyn as you know was formerly
Secretary of the Packard Unit
during the war.
We have started Credit Un-
ion at Packard and are waiting
for our Charter to be returned
+ to us from the Federal Credit
Unions Headquarters. This is q
very good thing for all of us.
And any Packard worker i;
entitled to participate. Thai
means the Office Force, Per
sonnel Dept, Technicians, En-
gineers, MESA. AFL. and any
group have failed to mention,
Let's all get behind this anc
make it big. We can all save
money and make a few bucks
for that rainy day. For intor'
nation contact any member OF
the Committee or Howard Shet'
field. We must pick up IL peo'
pie to be elected from the en-
tire Plant to run the Credit Un'
ion. So let's give this some
thought and nominate some
good people for these jobs.
