Welcome Back
Walter Blair returned to work
at Standard Products this week
after completing two years of SER
vice in Uncle Sans Army-Artil-
lery branch. Walter got around the
States quite bit during that time.
He served his basic training at
Camp Roberts, California; then
was transferred to Ft. Bliss, Tex
as for eight months and finished
his service at White Sands, New
Mexico. Welcome back, Walter,
we are proud to have you back
working with us. Walter is now
working in the packing depart
ment.
Jack Shaw, tank track depart
ment, is of work these days
spending his vacation touring the
South. Hope he took his overcoat
along since one fellow returning
from the South states that it's
colder down there than it is here.
We know Jack so we sure
hope he enjoys this vacation and
returns to work in a good mood.
John Nissen is hospitalized at
the time of this writing.
Trustees Fritz Wozniak, Cliff
Franck and Joe Blaskis have re-
turned from Detroit where they
attended to Union business at Sol
idarity House, National Headquar-
ters of International UAW CLIO.
The boys enjoyed a good recep-
ton and took a short tour of SOli-
darity House while they were
there. From their remarks we
gather they were highly i'm
pressed with what they saw.
Is Social Security Soft?
Social Security-worth as much
as $4,000 to every covered work
er is heading up to a knock-down,
drag-out battle in the next Ses-
sion of Congress.
The National Chamber of Com
merce is working steadily on a
"pay-as-you-go" system. In effect
this So-called "pay-as-you-go" sys-
tenn would undermine the benefits
of TIE present social security sys-
lem by bringing benefits down
and endangerine our entire social
security fiscal structure.
You will undoubtedly hear re.
peated the old stale argument that
Social Security makes people
"soft." Business lobbyists in Wash.
ington and in Columbus are con.
stantly repeating the same re.
frain, Social Security, workmen's
compensation, unemployment com
penSation, etc., etc., must not
provide more than the very bar.
est existence or else initiative will
be throttled, and the will to work
will be stifled."
