been better had the words been

Natures Children
By Lillian Cox Athey

Beavers were Americas first
engineers. They are responsible
for prosperous trout streams, con-
servation of vital soil. planting Of
alder and willow along water
courses and the control Of surface
water.
They are Industrious; training
their children to be obedient and
willing to pull their load of the
family responsibilities. In all
ways they are law-abiding. self
supporting citizens.
The beaver must protect him
self and family against such
powerful foes as the wolverine.
The mink also is an enemy who,
being at home in the water, il
well aware of the private sub
terrean entrance to the beavers
plastered house. The otter enters
the home pond for f1sh and will
kidnap and kill q baby beaver.
On the ground, there is the ever
present menace of air attack
from the high-soaring eagle.
During the summer, after sum
cient food has been gathered for
winter use. the home-within-a-
dam Is made snug and leak
proof for the long season ahead.
There have been many fasci-
mating tales about the way the
beaver uses his tail as athod for
transporting mud to repair the
exterior walls of his house. The
tail is used as q prop while the
plaSterer is doing his work and
it is q dependable gadget for
notifying others Of danger. One
loud slap upon the water of this
broad tail CARRIES the message to
one and all to take to the water.
When the head of the home
discovers a leak in the dam
which protects his house, he i'm
mediately alerts the members of
his household. No whimpering is
heard from the younger genera
tion who must roll out Of a warm
spot, enter the water and help in
the repair work. The finding OF
the break is one Of the marvel
lous skills Of the beaver. The
assistants get busy bringing in
sticks and mud to the operator.
Clumps Of roots are rammed into
the dam. Sticks are wedged into
it and held fast by mud taken
from the stream bottom. In a
short time the leak has been
mended. The family returns to
bed to sleep and rest. knowing
the work has been well done.
In many parts of our country.
these humble forest folk are
under the protection Of the law
and at present the scattered
families Of these hunted animals
are replenishing their diminished
numbers under this law.

STEVE J. NovAK, PRES.
LOCAL Aq7, UAW-CIO

For the benefit of our laid-off
workers, to keep them posted, we
must report that the lay-off rumors
we mentioned last week did ma
terialize., 90 more workers were
laid of here at Standard Products.
This 20 are in addition to the 81
people who were sent home the
week before and brings the latest
seniority date to 12/30/42 for the
men and 12/14/42 for the women.
The predictions of a Boom"
soon to come here is welcomed
news. We hope this prediction will
materialize as surely as the lay-off
rumor did. We feel sure the entire
community is with us in our hopes
for a back-to-work movement for
workers very soon. We sincerely
believe that our locale manage
ment is doing everything in its
power to bring in more business.
However, production here is so
closely geared to that of the large
auto makers - they set the pace
when they send out for or hold
back on orders for our products.
And as we've said before, we do
not believe that manufacturers,
generally, have grasped the ser
iousness of our present situation.
If more men in high places were
concerned with the present recess
sion and were aware of the needs
Of this nation, we would hear less
talk and see more action.
One may ask, why are working
people so alarmed when manage
ment isnt?" the answer is simple.
Workers are hurt first. They have
been and still are losing their jobs.
They haven't the large salaries to
rely on that men of management
have. When we stop punching that
clock, our pay stops. Sure, some
find odd jobs to do and some get
that small unemployment insurance
check but neither come anywhere
near providing sufficient means to
pay for food, clothes, rent, doctor
bills and the like for the family.
Working people and their fam
lilies are being hurt right here at
home. People laid off at Standard
Products last fall have still not re-
turned to their regular jobs and
more are losing their jobs as weeks
go by. We cannot afford to close
our eyes to the undeniable facts
when our people are being hurt.
Certainly, we are glad to hear
that business is looking up" We
sincerely hope the Boom" comes
quickly. Meanwhile, however, we
will continue our program that
works for the creation of more jobs
and for the necessary legislation
to strengthen our economic safe
guards.
This takes time and hard work
but it is better than refusing to
face facts and waiting for some
one else to do it for us. That's why
we urge every union member to
get behind the PAC drive and
work on our CIO 10-Point Program.
UAW-CIO Auditor Paul Mitchell
of Detroit was here in Port Clin-
ton last week to audit our Local

pendent auto makers. The latest
to merge formed the new "Stude-
baker-Packard Corporation" Two
other mergers formed american
Motors" (Nash and Hudson), "Kai-
ser Motors Corporation" KaiSer
and Willys) The new mergers are
an effort to win an increasing
share of the automobile business.
AS of now the three new firms
produce only 4 per cent of the ma
tion's cars, as against General Mo
tors So per cent, Ford'S 81 and
Chrysler'S 13.
Our primary interest in the new
mergers at this point is for our
Standard Products statesmen to
bring us in work contracts from
these new firms and plenty of
them.

LABOR VIEWS

/ credit of our efficient Financial
Secretary Larry Lucas that Mitch
ell found the books in such good
order He reported that our finan-
cial standing is in excellent con
dition.
! There was a good turn out for
our June membership meeting of
Local 497 last Sunday. Highlight
of this meeting was the installa-
| tion of newly elected and re-
elected officers. Ed Williams, re-
tired member, was given the hon
or of installing the officers.
The years screWiest unemploy-
ment compensation case turned up
when a woman complained to a
compensation official that she
didn't get the job she wanted. The
place she wanted, she explained,
was at hotel that has been picket
ed for many months. And what
sort of work did she want at the
hotel, the official asked. "Oh, one
of the walking jobs, the woman
replied, where you carry signs"
Not long ago in a discussion on
tfp Guaranteed Annual Wage, we
made this statement, "The day will
come when industrialists will point
proudly to the modern yearly
wage plan they provide their en-
ployees' - just as though they had
invented the Guaranteed Annual
Wage themselves"
With this in mind you'll see why
we get a chuckle from what UAW-
CIO Educational Director Brendon
Sexton said when he returned
from trip overseas.
He says that overseas our u. S.
employers are boasting of all the
different things they GIVE ther
workers such as good pay, work
ing hours, pension plans, etc They
are telling foreigners that U.S.A.
is a good place to work because
of these things.
This is all well and good but at
the same time a bit ironic to learn
that our employers are boasting
of what they GIVE" workers when
we remember that workers through
their unions had to drag every
one of these gains out of their en-
ployers. Thank goodness we live
in a country where unions can in
sist on good working conditionSl
But wouldn't you know that the
boss, after fighting tooth-and-nail
against these gains would
turn around and boast about them.
