Bob Calm Reports -
We wish to extend our sincere
sympathy to James Brough who
suffered the loss of his mother.
It was good to see that Margaret
Gaydos was able to return to work.
She looks so much more rested and
years younger.
Everyone was happy to know
that employment is on the up
grade. Florence Creager with Sc
niority of 6-24-46 was the last wo-
man recalled. Howard Cencebough
with seniority date 4-10-51 was the
last man to be called in to work.
Several people on the day shift
are going to miss some very good
baked goods now that Regina
Gumb and Leona Franck have re-
turned to work. Those two girls
didn't forget us and sent in a
couple of delicious coffee cakes.
Then Leona, the dear, sent in a
Lemon Pie and to top everything
a plate of very tasty sugar cookies
found their way to us. They were
much appreciated.
Anne Schmitt is numbered
among the sick. She came in to
work last Monday but couldn't stay
and hasn't be able to return since.
We hope she is much improv ed.
Note to George and Gertrude
Cox - we need you and hope that
you can return to the plant as soon
as possible.
That was a beautiful piece of
luggage Wilma Schweck received
for her birthday. One doesn't mind
adding an extra year, when lovely
gifts like that help to celebrate the
day.
We understand that Laurel Lam
bert and Marjorie Bergman have
both been discharged from the hos
pital. Best of luck to both of you.
Congratulations are in order
for Mary Karshuck. She has be-
come a grandmother again a
fine baby boy for her son and
daughter-in-law, Bill and Audrey.
Your Recording Sec'y
The United States Treasury De-
partment and the United States De-
partment of Labor have given Off
cial approval to the supplemental
unemployment benefit plan (SUB)
negotiated between the UAW and
the Studbaker Packard Corpora
ton.
This means that the plan can go
into effect as scheduled on Sep
tember /, 1856. Workers in Michi-
gan and California will be able to
draw benefits after September l.,
of laid off, since these two states
have favorably ruled to permit in
tegration. However, Indiana mas
not yet so ruled; therefore Stude-
baker workers there must wait un-
til Sept. l, 1857 for the alternate
plan by which they will get SUB
payments in lump sums if integra-
ton is barred in Indiana.
1t is still hoped that Indiana will
see fit to permit integration so that
workers there can realize the same
benefits as fellow workers in Michi-
gan and California.
George and Gertrude Cox did
not forget their fellow workers this
Eastertime even though they are
both off work and enduring a seige
of the flu. AS an Easter thought
they sent along this Legend of the
Dogwood" with a request that we
print it for your enjoyment. The
Coxes found the Legend on a post
card while on trip through Texas
last Winter.
THERE is legend, that at the
time of the CRUIFIXION the DOG
WOOD had been the size of the
Oak and other forest trees.
So firm and strong was the tree
that it was chosen as the timber
for the CROSS.
To be used thus for such cruel
purpose greatly distressed the Dog
wood tree, and Jesus, nailed upon
it, sensed this, and in HIS fentle
pity for all sorrow and sufferiny
said to it:
Because of your regret and pity
for MY suffering, never again
shall the dogwood tree grow large
enough to be used as cross.
Hence forth it shall be slender
and bent and twisted and its bios
SONS shall be in the form of a
cross - two long and two short
petals. And in the center of the
the outer edge of each petal there
will be nail prints, brown with rust
and stained with red, and in the
center of the flower will be a
crown of thorns, and all who see
it will remember.
Easter Greetings
