Local Union No. 50 is very proud of the privilege to introduce their delegate to the Jeannette, Pa., convention of the American Flints. William Jenkins, our secretary and treasurer, is the delegate. He is a man who has been in the glass business for 41 years, and we have found him a good workman in his employment and yet very considerate of his fellow workmen. When you other delegates meet Mr. Jenkins at the convention I am sure that he will be just plain "Bill" to you. the same as he is to us here at home.
The Owens-Illinois Glass Company plant here has one tank in operation on insulators and glass brick, and practically all of the old employes are back at work, getting full time. Since the chain letter fad struck us Ralph Shea, our corresponding secretary and Everett Whitlock, the apprentice boy, have purchased new Ford coupes.
If any of you believe in fairy tales write Ralph Huff, superintendent of the Owens-Illinois Glass Company here in Muncie, and he will gladly mail you plenty. Tommy Rowe and Harry Greenwood, officials of the company, were visitors here recently.
Now the time has come when we must hesitate a moment in honor of all of those who served their apprenticeship and made not only moulds, but furnished their lives in trying to make this world a better place in which to live.
Therefore, we hope such men are resting in peace on the other side of the golden bar.
