"You can kill a man with a 12 gauge shotgun," he (Walter Reuther--ed.)  said,
"but you can't kill an idea. The UAW isn't a personal thing. It is an
ideal--it will carry on. We are more determined than ever that the fight of our
union will carry on."

The Englishmen have already got a war cry. The words are set to the tune of
a comic opera air, and when the band strikes on the air, the whole company
sung  "Any rags, any bones, any bottles: the same old story in the same old way."
They  sang this with evident enjoyment over and over again.

the Ragman  Should Suggest to the Layman the Systematized Commerce in Trash or
the  Scientific Utilization of Garbage Now Practiced by the Capital -- But
That Is  What We Have Come to -- Read the Facts and Be Glad of It. _

A FEW heart-throbs from the autograph album:

I wish you luck, I wish you joy,
I wish you then a baby boy,
And when his hair begins to curl,
I wish you then a baby girl.

Autograph books, you'll be delighted to know, endureth forever with small
fry. WIth school's impending end, there suddenly is born a bittersweet knowledge
 of time's flight and a compulsion to capture the happy _now_.

Then autograph books appear as suddenly as a hatch of fluttering
butterflies. Now, as in our day, it is not enough to sign the book. You pick a  favorite
color page, write a verse of comment, _then_ sign.

Remember: _Roses are red,/ Violets are blue,/ A face like yours' Belongs in
a zoo_!? Or: _Roses are red,/ Tar is black,/ If I had a knife/ It would be in
your back_!

Advice may accompany autographs: _Don't make love on the garden gate. /  Love
is blind, but the neighbors ain't_!

When it leaves the open air, it often goes into something sordid and seamy:
the tawny burlesque house, to learn the origin of the strip tease; the
honky-tonk, to hear, "If you don't like my peaches, don't shake my tree"; the
employment houses on Skid Row to overhear a bum talking to his buddy about  hiring
out as a gandy-dancer.

I've been a moonshiner for seventeen long years,
I've spent all my money on whisky and beers.
...
I'll go to some holler, I'll pick up my still,
I'll make you one gallon for a two-dollar bill.
...
I'll go to some grocery and drink with my friends,
No woman to follow to see what I spends.
...
God bless those pretty women, I wish they were mine;
Their breath smells as sweet as the dew on the vine.
...
I'll eat when I'm hungry and drink when I'm dry,
If moonshine don't kill me, I'll live till I die.
...
God bless those moonshiners. I wish they were mine.
Their breath smells as sweet as the good old moonshine.
