OUR FRIEND THE WIND

The wind is.a great friend to
boys and girls. We can fly kites in
a strong wind sometimes. And
sometimes, the wind blows children~s hats off. But they don
mind because to run is good exe
cise.

The wind is healthy too. It
always clean and fresh.

FAITH

What is the true meaning of
~Faith~? Is one born with it? Or
does one adopt it through some~!
great tragic crisis that has ving j7a
ed one~s life?

Can one live without ~Paith~?~Is
it ~Faith~ in God, government, and
in those we love, that helps {to
hold this war torn world together,
inspite of the many oppositions,
that are always knocking at her
doors?

It it ~Faith~; in the belief, that
right shall conquer wrong, that Has
arisen up out of the wrecked, and
tattered ruins of peace-loving nations, that have been oppressed,
and trampled upon by other nations, who.believe that the strong
should rule the weak,~ with 2

who believe it, on to victory, and
to a greater everlasting peace. |

Only those who have met these
problems, and have come face | to
face with reality, can answer this.

JUST A KID NAMED JOE |

Joe is my little brother, He's
two-years old, and full of mischief.
Well last week, mother had [me
playing, nursemaid to Joe, while she
went to the store. You know how
it is, fellows. Who wants to! be
bothered with babies anyhow? ~Well
as it happened,;two of my pals
over, and\.we were. busy g
model airplanes. (By the way that~s
my: favorite hobby): Well as I was:
saying, I didn~t have time | to
monkey around with Joe, and| I
figured he was old ~enough to watch
himself.

About a half hour had passed,
when one of the fellows suggested
we see what the baby was daing.
We hadn~t heard a peep out | of
him in all this time. And | we
neared the kitchen, we heard him
kind of giggling to himself. When
we looked in, I didn~t know whether
to laugh or cry, because there sat
Joe, with both hands plunged into
mamma's fresh baked Carmel cake.
His hands and clothes were full,
you couldn~t see his face, for | the
crumbs and icing. My heart jumped
up in my mouth, when I heard | the
front door slam. I knew exactly
what I was in for. So men, take my

It takes a word of cheer,

To fill a life with sunshine

And drive away:a tear.

That makes the ~biggest show;

It~s the little things that we do

That make this old world go.

~AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT |
WORKERS OF AMERICA~CIO

Dear Sir and Brother:

In accordance with the Constitution of the | International Union
and the fundamental principles of
the democratic Way of life, the International Executive Board at its
first executive session held September 19,/1941 im the City of Chicago, and again at a subsequent
meeting in the city of New York,
January 23, | 1942, seriously disNegro discrimination in the auto
industry.

The sudden curtailment in the
auto industry has intensified this
existing racial prejudice to such extent that unless immediate steps
are taken to halt these discriminatory tactics it will result in the
total unemployment of the Negro
workers.

Regardless of race, color, or creed
every American citizen has a just

right to participate and contribute
to the safe-guarding of his
country and the bujiding of the

necessary defense armaments wherewith this nation of ours is to be
protected.

With all due respect to the rights
of American citizens, the delegates
to the UAW-CIO Sixth Annual
Convention, went on record instructing all locals of the CIO and
the International Union to gain
from the manufacturers the fulfillment of the following program:

1. Hiring of Negro workers in all
departments in all auto, aircraft
and defense plants.

2. Equal opportunity for transfers, promotions and training ~ in
all auto, aircraft and defense plants.

3. Negroes and whites displaced
from the auto industry because of
the curtailment of auto production,
~shall be transferred and hired into

on the basis of their seniority in
the auto plants, before any new
people are hired into the same
plants.

The delegates of this Convention

also declared: to the world at
large in the}following resolve its
sentiment against discriminatory

tactics: |

~That we reaffirm our belief in
the Constitution of the United
States and the guarantées contained in the Bill of Rights - and our
International Constitution that

International Board Members are
directed to supervise the application of the above policy in their
respective regions.~

It further instructed the President

of this organization to appoint a
committee who would from time
to time report to: him on the problem of Negro discrimination. Also
it instructed the Education Department to carry on a constructive and
comprehensive educational program
whereby this racial problem would
be minimized to an nth degree.
- In conclusion the Board recommended that where dissension prevailed among Negro and white workers, the Local Unions establish joint
committees to investigate the conditions existing and through their
combined efforts to endeavor to
work out a satisfactory solution to
the problem.

The delegates of your local approved the action of the Convention: On behalf of the members of
the. Executive Board, we implore
