Local "a members and thei
families enjoyed their annual sum
mer union picnic in Eascom Parl
last Sunday.
Jim MINER, President of Loca
20, United Stone and Allied Work
ers, CIO of Marblehead, has won
derful suggestion on Picnics. In
stead of each local in this arei
having its own picnic, Jim sug
gests that we all get together ant
have one big picnic on Labor Day
Or some other agreeable date will
all local unions in the county par
ticipating. We realize its too late
to do so this year, but it's gooc
idea to consider for next year.
In Marblehead at Local 1120 oi
the Biro Manufacturing Company
1--WE hear that they have a Guy
Num-" Just wonder of he is any
way related to or connected with
UAW-CIO Eyeopener Guy Num-.
Local 497 will be host on Tues
day, August 30th to the Maumee
Valley Citizenship Council. Many
local unions throughout the area
will be represented at this meet
ing in our union hall. Robert w.
Reider of Port Clinton and Harry
Bavis of Bowling Green will be
guest speakers.
We don't know whether to take
one of our Local 497 Committee
men seriously or not. He claims
that he is trying to buy a 40-acre
farm with the intentions of raising
bullfrogs and mice. He claims that
bullfrogS which can be raised in
the farms marsh are much in de-
mand and That the remainder of
the farm can be devoted to raising
mice for milk. He says that mouse
milk sells for 100000 quart and
is in great demand for use in a

brother, are you trying to pull our
leg or is it the effect of the heat?
Vito Menier, President of Local
1920 of Bros, is still proudly talk
ing about their new baby daughter,
which makes two girls for the
Meniers. Vito says his family takes
, quite bit of his time these days,
so now we can understand why he
did not attend a few of the recent
CIO Council meetings.
ward Florian, tool room
steward, was youthful, handsome
figure as he gave the bride, daugh-
ter Corrine, to James inland as
the wedding was being solemnized
in Immaculate Conception Church
last Saturday morning.
Now that the CIO Ohio Council
has filed the necessary petitions to
place the unemployment compensa-
tion qestion before the voters in
November, we begin to hear more
from that "Ohio Information Com
mittee" which is made up of Ohio
Employers who are organizing in
a massive, expansive fight against
our unemployment compensation
Improvement plan.
Fred J. Milligan, spokesman for
the employer group won't admit
how much they are planning to
spend in an attempt to block badly
needed changes in our states un.
employment compensation law. In
stead Milligan says, eve have
some ideas about how much money
we plan to raise, but / don't think
we'd better tell you"
Well hear more from this group.
But when you read and hear their
propaganda don't be fooled by the
impressive name "Ohio Informa-
ton Committee. The organization
was spearheaded by a dozen in
dustry associations and their trus-
tees are top representatives of
manufactures and employer groups.
They have the money to spend
but we have the necessary sigma
lures on the petitions that have
been filed, so the voters will de-
eide. Money will not buy votes for
these employers, not if the people
OF Ohio are aware of the great need
for improvements in our states un.
employment compensation law.
Look what we found in the mail
box:
The day for our PICNIC is near.
1t looks bit cloudy, / fear.
But we'll all do our very best,
And let God decide the rest.
May Sunday, August % dawn
bright and clear.
Well enjoy good fellowship, fun
and games and cold beer.
