Pinckney high school basket ball teams opened their season here Fri­day night by dropping three games .o Stockbridge before a crowd of 200 people about half of whem were from Stockbridge .

In the opener the Pinckney boys second team lost 24 to 12,mostJy on their lack of ability to shoot bas­ket*. This team is made up mostly of freshmen.

In the girl's game Stockbridge outclassed Pinckney who got but a few shots at the basket the first half. In the second half they did betyter but Stockbridge had too much ex­perience and height for them to get anywhere. Malcho, the tall center, is a star player and th e local girls had little success in stopping her. The final score was Pinckney 13, Stockbridge 26 .

The Pinckney and Stockbridge first teams put up a great battle for three quarters. Pinckney got away to a lead and was ahead at the quarter and the half where they led 10 to 8. In the third quarter they kept up their good work but Stockbridge had 2 point lead at the end of this per­iod. In the last half the Pinckney defense cracked wide open and £he visitors scored 13 points to win 30 tr. 19. The Pinckney team either be­came winded or Tost their stuff as Stockbridge encountered little op-portion in this quarter .

The Pinckney team has plenty of speed but could use a little more heighth. Lamont led the Pinckney scorers with 7 points. Palmer got 5. Morehouse and Culver were high men for Stockbridge.

NAMED TO ADVISORY B O A K D

m. A communication from James K. secretary of the County Selec-

'Bntian backs Michigan plant." Such was the cryptic headlne over

a bingle paragraph news item in a recent issue of the New York Times The dispatch by tihe Assocrated r'ress follows:

''Detroit officials ofthe keis< liayet Wheel Company di*M'loa*;d today that British funds would pay foi ijts new plant, fur fche manufac­ture of Colt-Browning machine guns, neai Plymouth, Mich. The company a-iinounced construction would begin at once to provide 2.0UU men, com­pany officials said."

Forty-eight hours later, a United Press, dispatch to Detroit:

"Washington--reat Hritian hope. t3 obtain financial aid from the l n -ited States next year- as well a.-* ships, planes and munitions, British Ambassador Lothian said today af­ter an eighty-minute conference with T;esiden(t Roosevelt.M

'Clear- Mandate" Arthur Krock, Washington corres­

pondent of the New York Times, ob­serves: (<The impression which seems to prevail among Britons hereuWash ingfon)is that the election gave Mr. Roosevelt a clear mandate to render the fullest sort of such aid to the Umpire and that Lord Lothian can properly proceed on this interpe-tation.

While the Marquess of Lothian,hisi Iirittanic Majesty's present ambass­ador to Washington, says frankly that Hritian is reaching the end ol h r credits in the Unjted Stales,here

what Sir Cecil Spring-Rice wrote Secretary Lansing on July 1, 1!>17 in the similar capacity of British am­bassador to Washington.

He declared that Ithe financial pos­ition of Great Rritian was "of an ur-j'er.t and critical character. There is danger that the ability of his Maj­esty's government to effect payment m America from today onward will be in jeopardy. A collapse of the ox-change will be no less disast vuu-than a great military revoke."

It was our own ambassador to Lon­don, Walter Hines Page, who wrote .me month before'we entered the war in 1917 ^'Perhaps our going in­to Jthe war is the only way in which our present trade posrtfmi can he n nmtained and a panic averted. All the money would be spent in mil own country, trade would V on!:n-lien and enlarged until the war ' < aikl after |the war Kurope would con-ttinue to buy food and would buy from us also an enormous supply of thing to re-equip her jwace indu* tiles." Reaction to Propaganda

Sir Sidney Kogerson in his hook, 'T.-opaganda and the Next War," published in 1!)3H, pointed out,

f'ln the next war, as in the last, tin? result will probably depend on the way in which the United States acts and her altitude will reflect the reaction of her public to propagan-ri.n properly applied."

The following statement is attri­buted to the late Lord Northcliffe:

"England spent $150,()00,()00 for propaganda purpo^es in the United Smiles during the war,and 1 consider tnal money spent to greater advan-U'gt. than any equal amount during tie entire conflict."(It was admitted i ' the house of Commons tha(t Njjrth (•line's paid publicitty agents in the I'M Med States numbered 4,200.)

Lecause he frankly opposes the United States entering the war.Am-ba >ador Josf >h Kennedy, American rvivoy'at T.o'dnr', has been :x-r^^^ of being a'<, defeatist propagandist". Kennedy made this statement one year; ago-Dee. 12, 1939--in the Church of the Assumption in Boston Va.-f. •

''There is no place in this fight for us. It's going to be bad enough as it is. As you love America, don't let anything that comes out of any country in the world make you be­lieve you can make a situation one whit, better by getting into the war. There is no reason, economic, finan-

I rial or social to justify the United | Stattes entering the war.* Our Economic Stake

John D. Biggers, secretary of the national defense commission, recent­ly said that our own govemment's-arm.s contracts totalling $2,500,0^1

000 include a third of a billion doll­ars in allocations to Michigan indus­trial plants. British arms award-s, such as the machine gun plant near Plymouth (in Wayne County), wijl h»ip swell this totalj

The rural counties that follow the leadersh p of Melville McPherson chanman of tae state tax commis­sion have announced that they have giTen up i^n.'i pimie H ha»o mn ata— niendment appropriating $15,000, 000 a year lor welfare relief to be distributed to the counties on a pop* u;ation basis, irrespective of their needs.This was a grab, pure and elm pie, and McPherson s backdown* is probably due to his convictions that it v ould be impossible to pu)t it over i'he reason he givei for withdrawing the. measure is that the school* have al.-o withdrawn their amendment ask ii.g $4(),000,0()0 appropriation for school funds.

The state board of canvassers met ai Lansing last week to canvass the vole of Nov. 5 and certify who was eWted but had to adjourn without doing anything as all the counties h'.sc nc> finished counting their \ot.e.- yet. Oakland county seems to be the most delinquent, althoug other counties are delinquent for the riv>on that in some Instances the board members went deer hutting in.>tead of staying on the job. ^any d creparKues have been found and a i( ount is probable for the ofri-es

i of attorney general and state treas-| uvr, where only a few thousand \ otes separates 'the candidates. An

| e/ror was found in the Kenjk county votes which gives President Roose-luOO more votes and cuts Willkie's .^ad down that much." Many other discrepancies have also been found.

The newspaper which supported tb" I>ies committee as long as it could be used to embarras President HooseveVt ai-e now beginning to turn atrainst i|. After years of work they claim that all that Congressman Dies ba< to show for results is a bunch of newspaper headlines and no ron-vidions. The congressman has lately 1 een reprimanded by the president fi't giving out evidence agaim(t per->cii suspected of sabotage against which the Federal Hureau of Invc»st-i.t "M und'-r Hoover was preparing ca-e>. The big fault wftth this com­mittee is that they are able to n.ak-e most uny kind of libel or h,,i.e> against a person and are

i cvei reqirrcd to prove them.

Wei! tlw long expected has arriv­al and Frank McKay, former state in ,.sure*-.fj.'n McKeighan, former mayor of Flint and an old friend of McKay and Fred Rhrman, secre-

i \ of the state liquor commission have been indicted by a federal g'and in Judge Lederle's court of raking down the distilleries of $500. 00(i in commissions. This they did by getting control of the commission to such an extent that the only way the distilleries could sell to the com-mi-ifion was through a number of dummy commission firms organised bv them, In addition Mc v ay was in-<$ .ed on two other counts, one qf defrauding Edsil Ford of $9,000 and another of defrauding the city of U.rand Rapids of $300,000 through fake advertising of municipal water pipeline bonds. These indictments did not come as a bolt out of a clear sky as there have been rumors ox this liquor graft as far btck as 1034 during the first Fitsjerald ad-minisf/ation in Michigan. The rumor was that nothing, especially (favor, couU' be sold to th e state unless it went through the hands of McKay and his associates. Attorney General Harry Toy started an investigation then but dropped it when he was kicked upstairs to the supreme eouri Then came the revealation that Mc-Ka> had drawn $100,000 for his help in putting through the Port, Hu­ron Bluewater Bridge. Another in­vestigation was started but Governor Dickinson killed it by vetoetng the appropriation to rarrv it OB..Jteidt* Mr Kay, the most noted of IKe men

Here's a Good Reason You're Constipated!

When there's something wrong with you, the first rule Is: get at the cause. If you are constipated, dont endure It first and "cure" It afterward. Find out what's giving you the trouble.

Chances are it's simple if you eat the super-refined foods most people do: meat, white bread, potatoes. It's likely you don't get enough •'bulk." And "bullC'doesnt mean a lot of food. It's a kind of food that Isn't consumed in the body, but* leaves a soft "bulky" mass in the Intestines and helps a bowel movement.

If this Is your trouble, you should eat a natural "bulk" pro­ducing food-such a one as the crunchy, toasted, ready-to-eat cereal, Kellogg's All-Bran. Eat it often, drink plenty of water, and "Join the Regulars." All-Bran U made by Kellogg's in Battle Creek. If your condition is chronic, It Is wise to consult a physician.

the Department of Agriculture build­ing.

The goldfish in the marble basin in the patio were wiggling hopeful tails in the prospect of a few crumbs that might be dropped by clerks hur­rying back to their desks from the cafeteria. At a table in a little lunchroom upstairs a man with touseled hair, a somewhat self-con­scious smile on his face, pulled some manuscript from his pocket and be­gan to read:

"Me es sumamente grato y hono-roso . . . "

It was not a visiting Spanish dig­nitary saying in his native tongue, "it is indeed a great honor to be asked to make introductory remarks on the occasion of this distinguished gathering." It was the then secre­tary of .agriculture, Henry Wallace, rehearsing before his feDow execu­tives, the speech in Spanish that he was to deliver before the Pan Amer-

HENRT A. WALLACE

ican Scientific congress last May. And he knew what he was saying and so did his audience.

That informal Spanish club was only a little over two years old then but it is symbolic of a movement which has had a powerful influence in Washington—a movement the re­sult of which is considered in Latin America as one of the real, practical steps toward Western hemisphere solidarity.

The story of that luncheon group and the man who started it is one of the fascinating stories of Amer­ican diplomacy that doesn't get into the text books. It is largely the story of Secretary Wallace himself, and the story of a side of him that few people know.

Except for the scholarly interest which a man who is an inveterate reader might have, Henry Wallace knew little more about South Amer­ica than you or I when he came to Washington. Today his name is one of the best known of all of our of­ficials to the Latin American news­paper reader. And they know it as the name of a man who understands them and their problems as few North Americans do.

Wallace Symbolized Friendship With Mexico

When Vice President-elect Wallace shook hands with the President-elect of Mexico before the recent inaugu­ration in Mexico City, he did so as a person who was far more than the mere official representative of the President of the United States—he came as a symbol of practical friendship between this country and the republics to the south.

To grasp the reasons back of this achievement you have to watch Henry Wallace at work.

Wallace wasn't satisfied to read about South America, he wanted to read what South Americans said in their own tongue; he wasn't satisfied with talking about South Americans, he had to talk to them. So he learned the language and immedi­ately the bars went down. For lan­guage is a barrier. That is typical of his methods.

Out of those luncheon meetings grew a Department of Agriculture Committee on Latin America. Armed with the data furnished by this committee and supported by his own array of factual information, Mr. Wallace went to Undersecretary Welles in the state department and to the President The result was the formation of the Interdepartmental Committee on Co-operatiori With the

Now money makes the mare go and this interdepartment commit­tee's efforts helped secure the appro­priation which put the teeth into the secretary's own practical efforts. Last July he saw one practical achievement of a step which he had been fighting for for years. It will make possible actual experimenta­tion in the development of rubber in South America which may some day make us independent of the foreign rubber markets and bolster one of the greatest defense needs.

I mention rubber because it is typ­ical of the practical work which Mr. Wallace has done. This step has won the gratitude of Latin America. But what is more important to the American farmer is that it stimu­lates growth of a product which complements but does not compete with his product. Valuable Products Grown In Latin America

There are many other similar fields in which his efforts are bear­ing fruit. The department of agri­culture, through study, through ex­perimentation, through co-operation of representatives of the department attached to our diplomatic missions in Colombia and Argentina and our traveling representatives in South America, has made valuable studies which will aid the production of products the United States needs from South America which we can't raise here.

Here are some of them: First, rubber, which I mentioned; second, hemp; third, insecticidal roots (ro-tenone) so valuable to farmers who grow products like vegetables, for while this poison kills the bugs it is non-poisonous to man. Then there are the various hard woods we can't grow in our latitudes. A soil book, the result of Puerto Rican experi­ments, printed in Spanish has proved a gold mine to the folks of the Carib­bean.

That rotenone is a story in itself. The secretary had read about how certain South American natives used these roots to kill fish. He followed it up. Had the department investi­gate it. Found how it could be processed in South America. Today seven million pounds are imported into the United States and when you realize that for use the solution is diluted five to one, you can see what a quantity our market can ab­sorb.

And for every dollar of these com­plementary products sold here, the Latin American has just that many more dollars to spend in this coun­try. Britain's Resources Dwindling Rapidly

Washington is beginning to feel the weight of pressure groups which are demanding short cuts in our efforts to aid Britain.

There are a number of commit" tees like the one headed by William Allen White to defend America by aiding the allies—formed when France was still an ally—which keep hammering on the White House door. They have various specific aims but the general purpose is help for Great Britain, with which most people agree heartily in principle.

The administration has taken no official recognition of these various propaganda movements. Of some it approves. Of others it disapproves. But it is becoming clear that some leaders in congress will not oppose certain specific demands when they become more pressing.

One is an amendment to the John­son act which prohibits loans to for­eign nations which haven't paid their war debts. There is no of­ficial confirmation of this step but it is taken for granted by those who are supposed to know, that adminis­tration support will not be lacking if and when such an amendment is proposed as it probably will be by the time the new congress has set­tled down early in the new year.

Earlier it was said that Britain had enough gold and securities in this country to cover her purchase of war supplies here for some time but latest figures indicate that she has placed orders for four and a half billion dollars worth of supplies already. This leaves only a billion and a half on credits, according to the estimates of experts, and it is believed that will soon be exhausted at the present rata of purchasing in this country.

Clulstiuas tree saadisa to the very earliest times in the Christian era. The Yule candle, of goodly size, lighted early Nativity celebrations. The lighting of can­dles is indeed a universl religious and national custom. Candle light­ing featured the Norse mid-winter festival of the turning of the sun. The Jewish Feast of Chanuckah or Lights is also celebrated similarly at the same season.

Romans exchanged gifts during gay celebrations. But giving of pres­ents of course goes back much ear­lier. The Romans, however, gave it clearer identity as a part of their festival program. Christmas boxes and cards of today have a link to the ancient Roman festivities. In France, gifts are distributed to chil­dren New Year's eve instead of Christmas. In England, Germany, Italy, and most everywhere else, the custom is like in the United States. Santa comes a-visiting at Christmas.

In ancient times the Teutons re­garded holly as a symbol of good luck. The custom was widespread of hanging evergreens in the inte­rior of dwellings. Later the legend was widely circulated that all grow­ing things blossomed and bore fruit the night of the Nativity. Holly came also to symbolize the crown of thorns worn by Christ. The Puri­tans, however, regarded holly and mistletoe decorations as pagan in nature, and they therefore were out­lawed.

St. Nicholas rides Woden's horse on Christmas eve in Holland. There the children put up their wooden shoes in the chimney corners as a stop signal for the merry fellow. Children of France followed the cus­tom by placing their shoes for Bon-homme Noel by the hearth. In Eng­land and the United States, boys and girls improved on the idea by hang­ing up stockings. These can hold more gifts.

The Puritans predicted the disap­pearance of Christmas carols and did what they could to discourage the custom of singing them. But it has grown more and more a part of the Christmas tradition which began in early Christian days in Rome. The French Noel, dating to the Elev­enth century, and the German Weih-nachtslieder, have the same origin.

Auctioneer Had No Trouble Obtaining a Higher Bid

At an auction sale, the business was interrupted by a whispered conversation between the auction­eer and one of the prospective bidders. At the conclusion the master of ceremonies announced:

"A gentleman present tells me that since proceedings started in this room he has lost a wallet containing the sum of five hundred dollars. He hereby offers a reward of fifty dollars to anyone for its return."

There was a short period, of si­lence, then one of the members of the crowd nodded his head to the auctioneer and announced: "I bid sixty."

TO AID IN NATIONAL DEFENSE

George M. Welch, president of the Michigan Bell Telephone Company, said tonight that the company is especially prepared by''experience of its people" to assume full responsib­ility in connection with the National Defense Program. ' Speaking before an audience of more than 1,000 persons gathered att the Masonic Temple in Detroit for the annual meeting of Detroit mem­bers of the Telephone Pioneers of Amercia, Welch pointed out that-nearly 65 percent of the company's employees, including 70 percent of the men, have had 10 or more years of service in telephone work.

"I know that material aspects of our Company's National Defense structure are important," the presi-ident said.We must have and do have good credit and the ability Jto raise funds promptly for needed expan­sions, the buildings, the central of­fice apparatus, the outside cables, lines and other plant-motor vehicles, and all -hat to do the. job.

*'Ye, with exeprienced personal, wc could not say that we are prepar-pared. There is no substitute for ex­perience in the telephone business These fcimea remind us of our grat-titude for an employee organiza-ttion organisation geared for the job by many years of experience and at­tained to its responsibilities by an en-udring loyalty to the public service)

"We may look forward to the fu­ture with confidence and assurance that the Michigan Bell Tlephone Co. will prove equal to the coming and perhaps the greatest test in all its history. Great results in this grave emergency will be achieved because cf the utmost devotion to the servro of these seasoned employees apply­ing their best energies to their indi­vidual! responsibilities.

A squirrel is perhaps the last thing you'd think of as a menace to telephone s e r v i c e . . . but he can do a lot of damage by gnawing through the lead sheath­ing of a telephone cable. To guard against damage from punctures, many cables are kept filled with gas. The instant gas ercapes, the lowering pressure auto­matically sounds an alarm in a central office.

New Day

A NEW note of understanding has come into the American Public's thoughts con­

cerning the railroads. It is now recognized that the coming of

new forms of transportation has brought about disruption of the normal transporta­tion situation. These new agencies must be properly fitted into the nation's distribution system if the best interests of the public are to be served. And certainly that program must include attention to the present dis­ordered and unfair regulation requirements under which the railroads are the worst sufferers.

Armed with this new sympathy, the pub­lic In recent years has sought to rectify this injustice. Congress, in 1935, and the various states have passed 1: ws to this end. This year Congress enacted the 20-called Trans­portation Act of 1940.

But much additional progress along this line must be made before the railroads are on a parity with their competitors. To achieve equality will'not harm other forms of trans­portation; is no more than justice requires; and definitely will be in ihe public interest.

OUT members of the Michigan legislature and our representatives in Congress are urged to exercise justice, fairness and com­mon sense in considering any legislation in­tended to bring equality into our transpor­tation industry.

U. S. Bolsters P.an-American Ties Tours of Military Leaders

Serve to Strengthen Defensive Policies.

WASHINGTON.—Quietly, and with a lack of publicity, the United States is extending its military picket lines deep into the hearts of South Amer­ica republics.

It is a "goodwill" picket line, ap­parently devoid of the usual trap­pings of "significance/' or •'impli­cation." It is being forwarded un«

of; foreign ministers of the Americas at Panama last year, and Havana last summer.

Inter-American co-operation is its foundation stone. If military fan­fare by the United States as the greatest military factor in this hemisphere is lacking, certainly meticulous observance of the prin­ciple of inter-American collabora­tion on all hemisphere problems is not.

The latter principle is being hoist­ed, unostentatiously but definitely, into the saddle of control of the whole Western hemisphere defense scheme.

Defease Survey. At the moment, 23 ranking officers

of 11 Latin American countries, in­cluding the big nations of Argentina, Brazil and Chile, are seeking every­thing the United States has to offer in the way of'army defense organ­isms. These three so-called "A. B. C" powers of South America know the fifth column menace as well as does th United States.

Venezuela and Mexico, whose oil resources are known to all, have officers in the group. Nicaragua-possible seat of a new Isthmian ca­nal between the'Atlantic and Pacific, is represented. So is Cuba, the Lush island lying immediately south of the Florida peninsula, and Ecuador, with a Pacific seaboard offering easy approach to the*Panama canal.

These officers are following in the air wake of a group of 20 others from such republics as Colombia (oil and coffee), Peru (metals), Uruguay (hides, meat and harborage), Costa Rica (coffee and air fields adjacent to Panama), Bolivia (vast tin re­sources), Honduras, Guatemala, Do­minican Republic (all with comfort­

able approaches to the Panama canal).

When the current flight ends, a total of 43 Latin American chiefs of staff and their expert aides will have made business-like flights to such important United States army posts as Langley field and Fort Mon­roe, Virginia, Randolph field in San Antonio, Texas, and Barksdale field in Louisiana.

For their benefit mock airplane bombings, landing of parachute troops, and the thunder of anti-air­craft guns are being staged. The

try and cavalry, the boom of coast artillery, welcomed them to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, Fort Banning, Geor­gia, Fort Knox, Kentucky.

Their odyssey in search of defense information takes them to the great automotive production center in De­troit, Mich. Socially they are meet­ing in such places as Washington and New York, the biggest names on current governmental and indus­trial rosters, starting with President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

General George C. Marshall, the United States chief of staff, is their official host, and General Marshall told a reporter informally—"we're showing them everything we've got."

(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)

Some were sorry and some were sad. But most of the little folks were glad.

IT'S a fact, most of the little people *• of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest were glad wheri they heard the pitiful voice of Bowser the Hound calling for help. They didn't know what was the matter with him, but they did know from the sound of his voice that he was in trouble of some kind, and they were glad, actually glad. You see, most of them are very much afraid of Bowser. To be sure, he has hunt­ed some of them a great deal, and perhaps they are not to be blamed for being glad that he had at last got into trouble. But there are a lot whom Bowser never had both­ered at all, and it didn't seem right that they should smile and say that they were glad of it when they knew that something was hurting him very much indeed.

And, of course, it wasn't right. Bowser isn't nearly so bad as a great many think he is.

Of course, when his yelps and howls of pain and fright were heard everybody was greatly excited. Peter Rabbit knew perfectly well that he ought not to leave the dear Old Brier Patch at that time of day, but he just couldn't sit still; he had to know what had happened. He promised little Mrs. Peter that he wouldn't go far and that he would be very, very careful. Now, it was lucky for Peter that others were quite as curious as he that morning. He almost ran into Reddy Fox, and Reddy was himself so curious and eager to find out what had happened that he didn't see Peter at all.

At the very first yelp from Bowser Or Mistah Buzzard sailed into the air from his special dead tree in the Green Forest and started straight for the far corner of the Green Meadows. He remembered those traps set there the day before

for Old Man Coyote and right away he guessed what had happened. Sammy Jay and Blacky the Crow also hurried in the same direction, though they had no idea what had happened. But most of all hurried Farmer Brown's Boy. At first he couldn't think what could be the matter. He thought that it must be that Old Man Coyote had turned on Bowser and that Bowser was being whipped in a fight. But it didn't sound like a fight. And then quite suddenly he thought of the traps and guessed just as 01' Mistah Buzzard

Child Stops a Train As He Hunts Chestnut

MILWAUKEE. - Two-year-old Roger Cielinski toddled after a slippery chestnut into the path of an electric train.

The motorman brought the coaches to a stop, jumped to the ground, looked — and nearly swooned.

Roger was climbing down from the train's cowcatcher still look­ing for his chestnut.

had guessed. So he hurried running until he was quite out of breath.

When he reached the far corner of the Green Meadows where Old Man Coyote had made his home he saw poor Bowser tugging at some­thing and with every pull yelping with pain.

01' Mistah Buzzard was sailing round and round overhead, and Sammy Jay and Blacky the Crow were flying about as near as they dared to go and screaming at the top of their lungs. Bowser was try­ing to come to him, but it was slow, hard work, and hurt dreadfully with every step. You see, the trap which had him by one leg was fastened by a chain to a heavy stick of wood, and he had to drag that after him.

"Lie down, Bowser! Lie down!" commanded Farmer Brown's Boy as soon as he was near enough. Now Bowser had been taught one thing, and that was to mind when spoken to. Down he lay, whimpering and whining, but not offering to take an­other step after he was told not to. As his master reached him he held up the leg held so fast in the jaws of the cruel trap, and there were big tears in his eyes. Farmer Brown's Boy didn't need to know dog language to know just exactly what Bowser was asking for as he whined pitifully. He was begging his master to take off the trap.

"Poor Bowser. Poor old Bowser," said Farmer Brown's Boy as he tenderly bound up the bruised paw after taking off the dreadful trap. The skin was torn and the lag was bleeding, but no bones were broken. It was swollen and so tender and sore that Bowser couldn't pot his foot to the ground at all, but had to walk on three legs.

"Poor old Bowser!" said Farmer Brown's Boy once more. "You'll have to learn to keep out of traps."

Then what do you think he did? He set the trap Just as before, cov­ering it all up so that it could not be seen!

"We'll get Old Man Coyote yet," said he as he started back home, Bowser limping at his heels.

215,000 Register in U. S. For Defense Positions

WASHINGTON.—That thousands of skilled workers are available for national defense jobs is indicated in a survey conducted by the United States employment service.

It reported that 215,000 job-seek­ers were registered in state employ­ment offices on August 31 for jobs in defense industries. Of these 177,-000 were described as qualified for skilled occupations and 38,000 as having some experience.

The Illinois list totaled 14,022 workers. Ohio led with 24,406, New York was second with 24,106, Penn­sylvania listed 19,970, California, 19,' 037 and Michigan, 14,709.

No Airplane Complete Without Its Clothespin

OKLAHOMA CITY. - Clothespins come in handy on swanky 1941 air­planes, at least in Oklahoma City.

The reason: A plane's antenna trails 10 to 50 feet behind the ship when in flight. The pilot is sup­posed to reel it in before he starts to land.

So the pilot sticks a clothespin on the throttle. When he starts to close the throttle to land, the clothespin reminds him about the antenna and he reels it in.

A minimum distance of 85 to 60 feet was suggested as a safe dis­tance from any suspicious package. Persons were advised not to investi­gate, touch, handle or attempt to open, such a box or container and not to put it in water*

Briefly, it is this: The government gives to relief clients 50 cents worth of blue stamps, good in any co-oper­ating grocery, for any foodstuff- of­ficially designated as surplus-, for each $1 worth of orange stamps which the client buys from his relief funds. The limit is ?1 a person a week.

Ti is a federal subsidy to stimulate consumption of surplus commodi-ies among the so-called"ill-fed" third of our population.

Extension of a food stamp plan in i>41 would provide new markets for more than ¢10,000,000 worth of surplus farm crops each month.

The Michigan farmer, well off as \ he is on a comparative basis, has an ! interest in this new form of unem­ployment relief. Pespite mounting-arms contracts and reported short­age of skilled workers. Relief rolls havt' not shown a marked tendency to decline. The problem is still here.

CURRENT COMMENT

At a meeting of the Wayne coun­ty Republican committee, Elton Ea­ton, editor of the Plymouth Mail, demanded McKay resign his national committeeman office at once. All men .including McKay and McKeig-han, were arranged and fingerprint­ed in the federal court in Detroit. Thursday. McKay was very nervous, and laid it to a political plot to gelt rid of him because he helped defeat a candidate for governor in 1988. McKeighan was in a numerous mood and remarked" I take indictments in my stride and always have bail money in my pocket ." The others indicted are a number of men who sold goods to the stafte through filing a lot of fictious bids, some of them blank. It is alleged that Niles, a buy­er for the state, filled in tfte blank bids after opening the bonafide ones. The indictments were made by a federal grand jury drawn from all over pie state. The indited men wer* released on bail and their trial set for January. They are charged witth suing the United States mails to de­fraud and the case against them is similar to the ones against the Huey Long gang in Loulsana whom John Rogge convited. He will hape charge of the Michigan prosecution.
