gram for us in Ohio.
Currently in Northwestern
Ohio, as we'll as in other parts
of the country, lay offs are
occurring. Some of the lay
offs no doubt are legitimate
but some are just plain win
dow dressing. Quite a few of
the workers. who are being
laid off should know this is
taking place in an attempt to
i m ess Congress. that it
should pass no excess profits
or undistributed profits tax.
In one industry we have been
told lay offs are taking place
while at the same time sales
men are clamoring for their
product. There is no material
shortage in this organization
either.
Big business is putting on it's
pressure move-it will continue
until Congress acts one way or
the other.
Nationally CIO has adopted a
program to obtain better social
security including more and bet
ter old age pensions along with
broad health program. From
what is occurring this very min
ute in some industries, it should
be very evident by now that we
are not amiss, but are laying our
plans in the right direction.
Looking at the pages for the
first time in 1949 THE Magic
Book" shows the following:

man at Spicer and Barbara Ward

niversary on Jan. IL.
Since Local IL Summer Camp
was closed around last Labor
Day, considerable necessary
maintenance and construction
work has taken place. One of the
larger jobs nearly completed is
the drainage of the large playing
field. This drainage had to be
revamped and improved because
of the filling of the large ugly
lagoon. The filled lagoon now
serves as a much needed parking
space. Some of the septic tanks
needed attention and before next
season they will be in good
shape.
Last fall there was consider
able canning done. The canning
has led the way for much larg-
.er canning program for next
season and will help cut food
costs in 1850.
We saw Noel" Moelner, one
of the councillors last year, just
a few days ago and he has shot
up like a bean stock since the
latter part of July.
Acting as councillor in camp
is excellent for the health. The
kids spread out and up. This
year we expect to have very
fine councillor training program
inaugurated far in advance of
the camping season. Glenn Hole
winski, Camp Director, will have
the help of Phil and Betty
Haugh. Phil and Betty were AS
sistant Camp Directors last year
and they have a very fine pro-
gram mapped out for training.
1t might be we'll to watch for
the announcement of the train
ing program as it will be given
publicity in the Toledo Union
Journal.
