A. J. Snayd, Can Factory Foreman, Joins Annuitants
(Continued from Page
2, Col. 4)
On Jan. 1 Anton J. Snayd will begin
an early retirement from his position as foreman of the Press Department at
the Lithograph Can Factory.
Mr. Snayd was born Nov. 20, 1892, in Oparany, Bohemia, one of six children. After completing his elementary school education, he spent three years in Vienna learning the trade of cabinetmaker. On completion of his apprenticeship, he took a job at his trade in making grand pianos.
Joining a brother and sister living
in Cleveland in 1909, Tony worked two years as a cabinetmaker for the Theo.
Kuntz Co. and eight years for the Standard Sewing Machine Co., starting as a
machinist and advancing to foreman.
He joined Sohio as a slitter repairman at the Can Factory on Feb. 6, 1924. In 1930 he became foreman of the Trimming Department. He has held his present position since Feb. 16, 1937.
Tony and his wife Sylvia reside in a new home at 12906 Oak Park Blvd. in suburban Garfield Heights. They have a daughter Mildred and a son Edward, and three grandchildren.

new pits.
Build Clubhouse For Community
TYLER, Tex. - Several Sohioans in this production district have joined a group of businessmen of the Gladewater, Tex., Area in setting up a club house high on a bluff overlooking Gladewater Lake.
Among the Sohio members of the yet-unnamed "club" are George Hogue, Holmes Moran, and Frank Phillips.
After purchasing the land, the men cleared a portion of it for the house. But there was to be no log-cabin raising; they moved a six-room house onto the site!
For several months the Sohioans labored diligently with other members of the group to remodel the club house completely and construct double outdoor barbecue pits.
The pits received their baptismal fire when the Gladewater Area quarterly safety meeting was held at the new club house. Gladewater Field Clerk Phillips supervised preparation of the T-bone steaks.
Invited guests included Mayor Homer
Reeves and members of the Gladewater City Council. Also on hand were Nick Sherman,
Tyler District's only annuitant; H. D. Henderson. manager of the Gulf Coast
Division, Houston; Frank Cooper, safety engineer, Oklahoma City; and several
Sohioans from the nearby Tyler District Office.
Future plans for the clubhouse include a pier out into the lake, a boat dock, and a boat channel to the main channel of the lake.
