rkers are genuinely interested
Ip. m. Doubtless, Mr.. Sibley dis
covered that his employees are
not 100 per cent perfect, One
worker, in fact, wondered who
the new employee might be,
(That reminds us: we heard
that when Sibley appeared in
Dept. E ,2nd shift, his foreman
and assistant foremen suddenly
found they had a lot of work
to do. 1t appears that when the
cat is away the mice do play
even though they are paid a
salary. If the Union member
employees worked that way the
foremen would be in the bug
house" and there wouldn't be
any production).
A match we have had our
eyes on for sometime is likely
to burst into flames one of these
days. My advice to Bob Sta
choWiak is: stick to her, Bob,
she's mighty sweet.
Henry Binkowski, came with
in an eyelash of being killed
recently, when he stepped in
front of a passenger train. He
was saved when a woman en-
ployee of Champion grabbed
him and pulled him off the
tracks.
If anyone ever assemblies
ball team good enough to please
Lou Block, he will have to have
all Frank Merriwells. Frank was
invincible, / believe.
Dep. ID. Congratulations to
Ila Irwin. Ila was 21
Ist ohllI again last May 3rd,
She passed the candy around the
department and had a big smile
for everyone.
Mems Bowling Everyone en-
joyed a nice
Banquet dinner of
roast beef and after dinner some
of the men played cards and
didn't enjoy the pastime at all.
(They were the losers). There
was other entertainment and
everyone had great time.
Ir;on Office We h ear that
Dottie Jon es,
Ist ShlIt now laid of from
Dept. d 1st shift, is at home fix
ing up her "ole rocking chair"
for her temporary retirement
and planning Glenn Jones vaca-
ton time. Glenn always did en-
joy tearing down the house and
rebuilding it during his vacation
and he doesn't like to fish much
more than he does eating.
An opolgy is due Neil "Grum-
py'' Griner of Dept. H. The
Journal had his name misspelled
and called him Grinder" He
is not a grinder" but he is a
welder. He does answer to the
name of "Grumpy" though,
Art Red Face" Decker was
very embarrassed last Saturday
when he came into the shop
looking for his foreman Mr..
Bates. He found Mr.. Bates right
behind him after he said few
things in a way that is not'or-
dinary with Art
We noticed that the Toledo
Times in its usual slip shod
manner failed to publish the
fact that the Champion en-
ployees had continued and paid
for the search for the bodies of
the men who drown in the lake.
The Times stated that the search
had been abandoned even though
the Champion employees were
paying for a continuous search
and getting the same.
The Champion Baseball team
has been practicing every week
out Highland park and will be
playing their regular games
soon Let's get out and watch
them.
Union Office AL Ken gott,

the Region 2B Conference in

.ional The facts that were

home or go fishing but, believe
is, the time was we'll spent.
