one or more Union leaders, if
proven will not destroy the I'm
ion but should some be proven
guilty, it would do incalculable
harm to the Union gloss over
their guilt. Crooked leaders, if
discovered, should be ousted,
swiftly and without mercy. AS
of this date on one has been
proven guilty. Enemies of the
Union cannot destroy it; only the
Union itself, which is you and
me, can do this. (RIGHT, JIM.
RHY).
We have just discovered why
the phrase blue Monday" must
have originated by bowling
) team that never wins more than
game and seldom does even
that. Note: Mite Owls bowl on
Mondays.
Wish we had said this: WON
an are much like trees. They do
a strip-tease every Fall, go with
bare limbs in winter, get new
outfit each Spring, and live on
the saps all summer"
Why anyone should expect a
word of praise for not getting
liquored up during the holidays
is beyond me. AS Mr.. Witten-
bergs ghost-writer observed:
'eWe suppose the boss wants us
to be good for nothing" Well,
boys, ! must hand it to you for
being frank enough to admit it.
Wilbur (Bill) Lent who has
taken over as Time Clerk in D,
made an auspicious start on his
birthday, January 18th. The
J stoggie he gave us gets him
? heartiest congratulations.
Well miss Larry Hahn, good
scout, that he is, as he is trans
ferring to the day shift on Jan
18th.
We must write to M. Colby
and ascertain the origin of the
words, corn and corny. Person
ally, we always have believed
that it eminated from persons
filled with corn whiskey. We get
ours from other sources, but adj
NIT its just as corny. Regardless
of the comment of RHY and
Ralph Morgan, our sentiment
is as follows:
Vinson does not mind your
scorn; He'll just continue pop
ing corn.

Folks: Recently, there has
been much said and much
thought, pro and con, given in
regards to the honesty of some
of our top union officials. OF
course most of this is due to the
constant attacks by the only
newspaper and by certain in
dividuals who seek to break the
organization which has fought
the forces who had kept the
workers down for years. This or
ganiZation has given us the
right to live as good Ameri-
cans and has fought for years
to maintain decent working con-
ditions and tried to get us decent
wages by collective bargaining.
Now ask yourselves this ques-
tion; if you were to set out to
destroy an organization, what
would one of the first steps be?
Naturally, it would be to create
dissension among the rank and
file of the groups you wish to
defeat. Thus the newspaper and
certain individuals have seized
the opportunity to use the press
to do just that.
The greatest fortification to
block this attack, is good solid
unionism and adhering to our
slogan United We Stand, Divid-
ed We Fall"
Give your union officials from
the stewards to the top post OF
leadership your solid support.
They are not guilty of any
wrongs until proven guilty: If
they, then, are guilty it is time
to take necessary steps to re-
move bad leadership. So, really
folks, weigh the facts carefully
before passing judgement on our
leaders during this smear cam
paign.
Wanted: One anchor man for
the Special Brands bowling team
in the Mite Owl league. A man
who has not got the jitters, he
must be a good pressure bowler
and able to be counted on in the
pinches plus being able to add
considerably to the kitty of
the team.
Something must be wrong at
the anchor post of the team, the
way those men are tossing the
violin and the crying towel
around. Could it be that Top
notch bowler" frankie Nova
cki? We wonder, who's top,
frankie? Seriously, Nowacki,
you had better get going for that
team if you want to remain as
anchor man.
We are sorry to hear that Bes-
sic Donnell is in Mercy hospital.
We all wish you speedy re-
covery, Bessie, and are awaiting
your return.
Say, Louie Pfann, how's the
suggestion that was carried to
you in the Journal working out?
