L. H. Goodwin and Joseph
White, Local 2 election officiais,
have expressed the union's
thanks to the company for help-ing
to provide gatehouse voting
facilities for the recent election.
The "thanks" came in the form
of a letter, signed by H. H.

the local.
It is hard to realize these days
that this country was founded
partly to avoid taxation.

THIS year to date we have had
1 New Year's Day, Valentine's
Day, St. Patrick's Day, Mother's
Day and Flag Day. Next in
order is Father's Day, which is
next Sunday, June 21 -it's al-ways
the third Sunday in June.
Sons and daughters didn't
forget mother on Mother's Day,
and, of course, Dad won't be
overlooked next Sunday. He'll
very likely be recipient of a
bright necktie or two and the
children ivill tell him that he's
a grand fellow.
While no extra 6ffuss" is made
over Dad on ·Father's Day, the
rest of the family appreciates
the fact that he is a handy man
to have around, especially when
the gas, telephone, electric,
grocery and other bills are
found each month in the mail
box. And when the children get
bead manufacture, Plant 2. The
machines are moved frequently
from one unit to another in the
department.

awarded $50 each.

into some sort of mixup, Dad
is there to pour oil on the
troubled waters.
Perhaps Dad would appreciate
a new pipe and a can of tobacco
as a gift this year-that is, if
he is pretty well stocked with
neckwear.
Anyhow, children, don't fail
to let Dad know that he's tops-the
best sort of felIow at every
stage of the game.
