At a recent meeting of the Wood Hand- ling Safety Committee, a decision was made whereby all monies earned by the three units "Jackladder", "Wood Yard", and "Wood Room" would be pooled. With the money, Ronson lighters were purchased and a draw was held for these lighters last Tuesday. Names or numbers of everyone eligible, were placed in a box (and incidentally were checked after the draw by the Union Steward, Adam Zyri). On the very first draw, Rune Ostling's name came out, Being a Foreman, Rune wanted to decline taking the lighter but Super Ron Faust ruled otherwise, never suspecting what was about to happen. With someone else doing the drawing, whose name came out next? None other than Ron Faust's ! That was too much for Ron. He flatly refused to take the lighter. Ray Belliveau and Fred Zwarych found themselves the lucky winners of the next two lighters but later in the day when the last lighter was drawn for, Ernie Rowson, another foreman,, was the man of the hour, "Honest fellas, it wasn't fixed".
