DEATH FALLS ON A CITY

!the tonnage and power of the ex-plosives thrown on London during the past six weeks may have beaten all records for destruction of the works of man.

dy Needs Told To Kent Pupils

Four Important Points Stressed in Plan

"Body Needs," a teaching plan to stress the need of rest, exercise, food and cleanliness is proving very popular among school principals n Kent County schools. A 27-page boolklet Is provided for each teacher who wishes to use the unit and four pamphlets, beautifully Illus-trated are provided for each ttudent In the class.

The material Is so popular that 1,000 seta have a'ready been dis-tributed and 1,500 more will have to be ordered by the local Anti-tuberculosis Society. Mrs. Ann Hol-llnshead, a teacher eepeclally train-id In health education, planned the material for the Michigan Tuber-culosis Association. It Is one of the s e r v i c e s made available through the sale of Christmas Seal*. In her foreword she states, "In the advances which have been made against tuberculosis In the past thirty years foremost among those fighting this disease has been the teaching profession. Fighting tuberculosis to a Job of long range planning with day-by-day doing. Twenty years ago the tuberculosis death rate In Michigan was 103.3 per hundred thousand population. Today that death rate has been re-duced to 36.6 per hundred thousand population. "

Points of note In ths pamphlets prepared for studants are:

1. Man must change his way of thinking. He must take time to rest Nature does. The flowers do not constantly bloom; the bess are not always on ths wing. There must be rest so Oiat there may be achievement.

2. All perrons without serious disease need dally exercise, whsth-

r* •> r A I s st«r It Is a brisk two mile hike, swim-tVU8 Of Alcohollmlng or some game. After Illness.

'exercise must be undertaken grad-ually. t4nce the body Is In a weak-ended state and cannot endure i t

3. Plain, wholesome food Is best and an ovsr-ahundance of sweets and highly seasoned foods should be avoided. Eating between meals h< discouraged by physicians since the stomach must be given periods of rest As for food fsds, they have been scientifically Investigated In nutrition laboratories and have been found to be not only valueless but in some instances exceedingly harmful. If one wishes to reduce he should do so only under the expert direction of his physician.

4. Health defenses are listed as vaccination against smallpox, diph-theria and typhoid fever as well as tuberculin test and chest xray as an eariy case finding method *ln tuberculosfi control.

Installment Plan For Rural Phones

Bell Co. Construction Is Now Approved

The Public Service Commission this week extended the installment payment plan In the financing of rural telephone construction In the territory of the Michigan Bell Telephone Company.

That was accomplished through the Issuance of an order approving a new rural telephone construction plan recommended by farm leaders and described by the Michigan Bell Company aa the moat liberal In ths history of communications In this state.

The plan will permit applicants for rural service to pay for line ex-tensions, beyond an initial non-chargeable allowance, In monthly Installments over a 5-year period. Always in the past, theae charges had to be paid In a lump sum in advance of construction.

Frienda of the plan cited other advantagea. For one thing the maximum construction charge, be-yond the Initial allowance, la acaled down from $300 to $270 a mile un-der the new plan. No charge will b« made for wire connecting the main line to the house up to 500 feet from the highway with a charge of 5 cents a foot beyond that distance. New construction will be located on private right-of-way supplied by the applicants, a provision which will tend to eliminate the haxard of tree Interference that Is sometimes met along lines that follow the highway.

Under the plan, no construction charge will be made If the number of applicants averages one per 8-10 mile of rural line extension. If the number does not rcach that aver-age, the cost will be met • by a charge of 45 cents a month per 1-10 mile In excess of this Initial allow-ance, and will be prorated among applicants served by the extension. Payments will extend over a 5-year period. The plan also provides that the monthly installments will be reduced as additional applicants ar t served along a particular line ex-tension.

Company officials will, place ths plan Into effect as early as possible. An Informational program will be

Up to the middle of this week, 30 aliens had registered at the Lowell porft office since the alien registra-tion act became effective. In Mich-igan so far, a total of 102,488 resident aliens have registered. Throughout the country, 53 per cent of the estimated number of aliens in the entire country have filed their names.

Rev. Glenn Frye, pastor of the Methodist Tabernacle at Benton Harbor, appeared before the student body of Lowell high school last Thursday under the auspices of the Kent County Y. M. C. A. and gave a very Interesting talk on "The Evils of Intoxicants."

Mr. Frye said that alcoholic liquor befogged the mind. Is harm-ful to the body and weakens the moral fibre. He further contended that any form of Intoxicants are only stimulating temporarily and that the after effects are worse than the original cause.

Mr. Frye was Introduced by Ken-neth Lancaster, County Y. M. C. A. secretary. The speaker appeared through the efforts and cooperation of the local Hl-Y club under the di-rection of Carroll Burch.

Check Up Now on Heating Units

It Is not too early to arrange for an Inspection and overhaul of your heating plant. Fire Chief Paul Kel-logg declared this week.

"An annual check of the condition of furnace, smokeplpe and chimuey will save you money snd reduce the danger of fire," he said. "Every year many fires start from defec-tive heating plants. If repairs are necessary they can be made at this season with a minimum of Incon-venience." • •

The Fire Chief urges also that all oil burners be looked over by a competent workman.

'Defective chimneys and flues can bs sources of grsat danger," the Chief points ou t "Look at the chimney where It Is exposed in the attic or on the roof. If the mortar has crumpled away from between the bricks, the chimney Is losing its efficiency and Is becoming a fire hasard. Inspect smokepipes for signs of rus t Where the pipes n u t through, sparks can escape to ig-nite combustible material, it is far easier to have these conditions cor-rected before they result In fire than afterwards.

non-voters might be1 15.000,000 or 20,000,000. The Ledger will discuss In a few brief articles'the reasons why so many people fall to exercise thla cheriahed privilege.

The American people always val-ued very profoundly their freedom and Independence and their right to shape their own lives. But these rights depend upon the existence of a good and wise government How come that a right that Is so

tlal to our happiness seems to be viewed as nearly valueless by a vast army of people?

Many of thsse folka do not fully realize the importance of their gov-ernment to Ihem personally. Tet the principal difference between coun-tries, and between the condition and welfare of the people of different countries, Is that some of these nations have good government while some are badly governed.

Take the case of Mexico. Tou « the dlffsrence between the

United States and Mexico the same day you cross Into Mexican terri-tory. You see great evidence of poverty, a poor equipment for agri-culture and manufacturing, ragged children, and little social progrssa All which contrasts tremendously with the high level of welfare In this country. A leading reason for this difference Is ths very faulty government of Mexico.

Whether our home statss and cities go ahead or remain stagnant. Is to a large extent a question of government If people want pro-gress and human welfare, one would think they would go to the polla and vote for the parties and candidates who they think will do the most to accomplish these ends. But many of them fall to do so.

Jack Frost Ends Tomato Canning

Tomato canning has been going forward at a good clip for the past several weeks at the L. W. Ruth-erford plant here. A force of about 150 has been employed and toma-toes have been coming In such large quantities that considerable overtime work has been necessary.

Mr. Rutherford states that this year's output will fully equal that of last year, due to the Increased acreage planted to tomatoes In this locality. Canning operations are now practically ended because of Tuesday night's heavy frost.

Canning of the various brands of mince meat which have made the Rutherford plant famous the coun-try over began about a week ago.

Lee ran up an early lead making two touchdowns in ths firat quarter and scored again eariy In the second quarter. Ths local boys were so far off form that their offensive never got started. Their only threat came In the Srd quarter after two successive first downs, when un a 40-yd. paas to Shear, Lowell got the ball to the 17-yd. stripe where they lost It to Lee on an Intercepted pass. Lee did not score after the half and were held to only 3 first downs during the last half.

PROTECTION FROM MEASLES All children under the age of three

ond sickly children of any age should be protected against measles to avoid the serious complications, if not death, but better still any child who Is exposed should be Im-munized. The physician adminis-ters one Injection of Immune globu-lin which producee a passive resist-ance to the disease lasting several weeks. It must be given within five days of the exposure to a case of measles or close aesoclatlon with child who is developing the dlseafe.

Opening of school should cause parents to be on the watch for measles, which will strike Michigan with epidemic force during the com-ing winter, says the Michigan De-partment of Health. One case of measles may mean an exposure of all the children In a school room.

"The only outbreak of disease that we arc able to predict Is meafiles," says Dr. H. Allen Meyer, Commissioner. "An outbreak is coming, such as we have every third year. Due to our warnings, more parents will obtain protection for young children af ter exposure to a case, for parents more generally understand that meafiles Is a ser-ious disease for babies and little children and one to be avoided or controlled."

In the last two measles epidemics, reported cases have been 80,000 com-pared with an off-year total of e\x or eight thousand cases. The month-ly reports of measles are already-higher than usual, but the peak is not expected until spring when 25.-000 or 30,000 oases may be reported a month.

If there is an exposure of a sus-ceptible child to a case of measles, an attack is almost sure to follow, but the family physician can give a treatment which will either pre-vent or control the at tack and make it mild. If mild at tack occurs the child will recover in two or ihree days instead of two weeks, and there will be little or no fever. The controlled or mild attack, however, will give the child lifelong immun-ity against measles.

The six-year-old usually brings measles Into the home from school or the street, and the protective treatment Is especially valuable in those homes where there are babiee or young children who should have protection. Half or all measles and 90 percent of the deaths occur in children under five, and the wlae parent will take advantage of this protection.

Weekly Scrapbook Week's Best Recipe

Pumpkin Pie: 1 quart can pump-kin, 1 can condensed milk (large size), 2 cups eugar, 3 eggs, 3 T flour (heaping), 1 t cinnamon, K t cloves, 11 sa l t Yield: filling 2 plea. This mixture must be very well beaten and becomes light and fluffy. Beat the eggs separately if you so deelre but this is not neces-sary if you are using an electric mixer. Each cook has her favorite "never-fair crust recipe which shr will use with the pumpkin filling Top each pie with whipped creum when serving.

Speaking of Pies Change the flavor of pie crust by

adding a teaspoon of grated orange peel and % teafipoon grated lemon peel to each 2 cups f l o u r . . . Custard and pumpkin pies should be stored in a cold place af ter they have cooled from the oven temperature. . . . Equal parts of flour and corn-starch gives best results in cream plee as lemon, butterscotch, choc-olate and orange. . . . When mak-ing pie crust bake the left-over crust on inverted muffin tin for tar ts for another meal. . . . Too much water makes pie crust tough and also hard to roll. Add water a teaspoonful at a time and use as little flour as possible on rolling pin and board. —

White Peed Sacks One subscriber writes of a suc-

Be sure to rub them a bit in order to remove any printing on the sackfi. Boll them in a clean mixture of the same Ingredients for about 15 minutes. Afterwards use a clothes whltener purchased from your grocer for a final boiling.

Quilt Suggestions One seneible suggestion comei

for cutting quilt blocks. Use a piece of oilcloth for the pattern. Trace the design on the oilcloth. The quilt patches will be of the same shape for the material sticks to the surface of the' oilcloth and doesn't slide. You don't need to do any pinning either. An interested read-e r tells of a practical quilt made of a quilted mattress pad. The design was isppliqued in th'* center in col-orful pieces and the border was of the colorful material. An easy-to-waah quilt thia was.

B By KATHLEEN NORRIS

E A contented woman. So few women are con-tent! This advice is not

for the thirties. Not for the forties. These years a re full of hope and changes and po-tentialities and excitements. The most thoroughly disap-pointed and bored and disil-^usioned wife of 34 may still feel that a complete change of circumstances may take place any day.

J im might get a promotion with a big raise. Or some un-suspected uncle might leave them a tidy fortune. Or they might have to move to Rio. on 10 days notice. Or the talent scouts might seize upon the baby, who is 10 times as fascinating as any baby star on the screen. •

Life holds thrills. A new hat—a new hair-do. is a thrill. Just meet-ing a courteous new man is a thrill To have someone suggest a delight ful job opens up new trains ot thought A hundred a month, and a summer vacation free, for just being hostess at a big mountain hotel

A New Cycle Begins. All this ends at about 45. No

use fooling about i t it comes to an end. No more men are going to fall in love with you. No new hat is going to do for you what that $1.98 hat did 20 years ago. Jim isn't go-ing to be raised, promoted, sent to an exciting post He's there, stout and middle-aged and comfortable and quite satisfied to go on living. The children have passed the ab-sorbing and dependent stages: they need teeth bands and corrective shoes and plenty of school help, but there is little In that to satisfy the woman who has been dreaming all her life of achievements, of fame, wealth, glory, success.

If you are one of those women, harness your dreams. Or better still, wake up and try to appreciate one important f ac t

This is the f ac t No matter how young, beautiful, rich, successful a woman is. sooner or later she has to fipd content exacUy where yon can find i t In her own soul

What Price Fame. Of course she likes the excitement

of success, the fiattery of her public, the brief, brief hours in which her fame eclipses that of the next ex-quisitely pretty and captivating woman. But those things last only hours or days, or months at most, and then the gnawing inner hunger for reality begins to fret her. Holly-wood sets are not reality; cameras snapping in her face wherever she goes are not reality. She loves them, of course, and when they stop, when she is only yesterday's favor-ite, she suffers agonies of jealousy. And she knows all along that they are not real.

She puts on a |40 apron and cooks in a picture-book kitchen. She adopts a baby, and it photographed with I t And all the time she is blindly reaching out for what you have; a man who needs her, a kitch-en in which she is queen; a small person to come stumbling to Moth-er.

Within a few years of the time when you went around all mornln* wishing you were in Gloria Millloni place, Gloria Is haggardly facing a second divorce, supporting a flutter ing circle of titled European hang-ers-on, and telling the whole world that she will fight for the custody of her child.

Whereas you. if you've playeo your cards wisely, are the adored mother of two brown tail Indians of children who are dancing about because it's Saturday, and Mom is taking Jim and Mary and the Sim-mons children off to the beach for the day.

Or you're absorbed in your gar den; there's no heartache cure like a garden. You've decided to have supper out-of-doors. You're trying for a prize contest on the air. Youi Persian aristocrat has produceo three delicious kittens. The baby next door has been loaned to you for his noon Pabulum and his after-noon nap. Jim is. thank goodness, going to be free for a three-day week-end next Friday. Mary is in first year French and it's perfectly amazing how your old grammar and you can help her. You've got to consider both sides of moving to that possible farm. Chickens and fruit and quiet and space against the commuting trip for Jim—.

All Possess Materials for Happiness.

In short you've mastered content. You've learned that to each one of us women in this life is meted out the materials for happiness; it is only our wisdom or stupidity in han-dling them that makes the differ-ence. The successful writer, actress, heiress of course MAY be happy. But she has to be happy on exacUy the same terms that are available to you. She has to have love, and a chance for service, and books and appetite and deep sleep. And often these sre all sacrificed before she has discovered how per-ishable Is fame, how brief is youth, how little money can buy! While you are climbing up the scale to the forties and fifties, she is descend-ing to depths that you never knew. Face-lifting and cocktails and mem-ories of past splendors don't help her; nobody remembers and nobody cares.

Develop what you have. The chil-dren, the back yard, the possible picnic and camping sites within reach, the libraries, the swimming bcaches. Develop hobbies, activi-ties, interests. They don't spring into being full-grown. But you will be pleasanUy surprised to see bow fascinaUng they can become.

Develop Jim. too. As you grow to be a contented middle-aged and someday old woman, take him along with you. Make the flfUes happy years, and the sixties even better. The woman who does that will soon find herself in a position to pity the very stars and glamour girls and celebriUes that she is envying today.

And most important of aU. develop yourself. Thy to achieve that peace of mind which can only follow from a life well lived, because as eagerly as you ars now looking ahead to <iew thrills, in your old age you will look back upon the pleasures that have been yours.

Ledger Entries DEPRIVED O F EUROPE

^ B O U T a dozen years ago there was a tremendous travel migra-

tion of college students to Europe to see those countries. They over-ran the historic spots In droves. They represented to their parents that their education would be very-incomplete unless they saw London. Paris, and Berlin. Some of their high j inks did not set too well In the European mind.

If European travel Is necessary to give a youth a good start, our young people will have to be de-prived of this privilege In the fight-ing countries. They will ' have tn learn to add up figures or sweep out the office without having seen the tower of London o r the Swi«= Alps. So far they s tem to be doing quite well without this very desir-able privilege. A person's power Is not created by the things his eye." have seen, but by the things his hands and brain can do.

"training the mind". The present Idea, in the minds of the majority of people. Is to train the student ' powers so he can get a job and earn a living. But training the mind

Pedestrians have a definite re-sponsibility for their own safety and the safety of others.

Two of every five persona killed In motor vehicle accidents are pedestrians. In cities, pedestrians have numbered 61 per cent of all persons killed in traffic accidents. I know of one community where only five deaths occurred In the last six years, all five were pedestrians, and all of them were over sixty years of age.

I t Is not always the automobile driver's fault. Pedestrians some-times are very careless about cross Ing the street at Intersections and intentionally neglect to carry out their part of the program.

They must be convinced that the program of pedestrian control Is for their benefit and protection, and they should co-operate by comply-ing with all the rules and regula-tions.

"THE KNITTER"

(Red Cross Poem)

Alone by a cottage window small, A mother old and gray,

Sat where the light would longest fall

At the close of an autumn day. Needles and yarn on a wicker

stand, And work to be finished there.

In easy reach of the tired hand That had little time to spare.

For she was a housewife good and true

And had labored hard the whole day through

With only a moment here and there Her work of love to do.

Now back and forth the needles fly The gloaming comes all too soon,

The sun tdnks low in the western sky

To give sway to the silvery moon.

It was only a little that she could do But she loyally did her h i t

The soft wool sweater that dally grew

Gave ample proof of it. She worked a t the little window

there While the whlppoorwill sang his

lay. With a longing heart and silent

prayer, For the refugees f a r away.

They are working today in many a spot,

All over our troubled land, From stately mansion to humble

c o t There Is work for every hand,

And rich and poor together meet All over our U. S. A.,

A mission of love and labor sweet For the refugees f a r away.

Twelve outstanding Democratic iwyers of Michigan took a stand hu week against a third torn or President Roosevelt as a viola-ion of a great American traditjon. "Ws believe the danger to the

welfare of our country and to the bertH* sf cur people from a third

an conaideratxms f partiaanahip and roqoiiea us to peak out," the lawyers explain fa joint statement prepand for gea-

ral cxrcnlatkm. Participating in the pronounce-

are: Arthur J . Lacy, Detroit; i J . Cotaabo, Detroit; Dean W.

T h a t I should lay down my charge e t a proper period, is as much a duty a t to have borne it faithfully. If some tenaination of the services of a chief magis-trate be not fixed by the constitu* tins, or supplied by practice, his oftce, nominally for yean, will, in f a c t become for life; and history shows how easily that degenerates into an inheritance . . . I should unwillingly be the person who, dis-regarding the sound precedent set h; an iHustrious predecessor, should furnish the first example of pro-longation beyond the second term of ofiea."

Citing the enormous p o w e r s which now have been centered in the presidency, with more than a million dvfl employes and three and one-half million persons re-ceiving direct relief, and with con-trol of the ccwntiy'a credit and

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS By Edward C. Wayne

U. S.-Japan Relationship Is Strrinc;'; Americans in Far East Ordered Home; Naval Reserves Called Into Service As Army Makes Way for Conscripts

CRISIS: ffar Ahead?

Since Japan Joined the Fascist Axis, attacks on America and Amer-icans by the govermment-controlled Tokyo press have been exceeded only by the belligerent mouthings of the Mussolini-controlled newspa- j pers of Italy.

When Japan signed the treaty of Berlin, Washington was inclined at first to make little of it, even though it was openly stated to be aimed at Jie United States because of aid given to Britain. But Japan did not take It as lightly. Prince Fuml-maro Konoye, Japanese premier, said openly that if the United States persists in "challenging" the Axis powers, a war will folbw. Later there was an official statement that If England opened the Burma road, lone' gateway to China for muni-tions, Japan would declare war.

Many in Washington now believe that a clash with Japan is bound to come sooner or later and that it might as well be sooner, because If Britain should fall, the United States would be faced with aggressors on both oceans at the same time.

Culmination was a state depart-ment order to all Americans in the Near East to return home. Britain will open the Burma road October 17.

And in Shanghai, Japanese offi-cials had another problem to worry them. For despite a heavy military guard placed around Fu Slao-en. their puppet ruler of that Chinese city, he was slashed to death by some unknown assailant

Enraged Japanese authorities de-clared that the assassination was an "inside Job." Shanghai police re-ported that they had been asked by the Japanese to aid In a search for the slain roan's personal servant, one Zung Tsu-en, who was absent from his master's house after the killing.

Price of Peace Several unofficial offers have been

made to the United States. All aim at Involving this nation with Japan or so crippling U. S. armed forces so as to make the nation ineffective. The head of the Japanese press as-sociation suggested the United States show its good will by aban-doning the naval base at Pearl Har-bor, Hawaii;, withdraw froro Guam and Midway Islands.

In Rome. Mussolini's newspaper held out another scheroe. In polite terms It luggested that if America would stop giving help to England, the Axis powers would reward America by giving her Canada.

Object Is, of course, to so involve the U. 8. that It will stop sending supplies to Britain.

the Axis powers and asserted "if a fight is forced on us, we shall b< ready."

Meanwhile the army was prepar ing at reception centers for 700.000 of 10,500,000 men who were march ing to their voting places to regis ter for the draft. The whole 700.001 likely will enter the service Novem ber 15, but not all will go to cam| at once.

Most reception centers are being designed to "process" only 1.000 to 1.500 men. The drafted men ma> bo held in their home communitiej anywhere from a week to ten days Each day a quota will be sent to the reception centers. There they will be equipped, their army rec ords initiated and after a short stay most will be sent to regular army camps to fill out those units to full strength. Some new units will be creoted. of course.

Not all the new soldiers will be equipped with the army's modem woolen "elastique" trouser and bi-swing coats with sports-back. Many will be handed the old-style army woolen breeches with spiral leggings and the obsolete standing-collar blouse.

Out of storage also came 105 U. S army tanks. These were loaded on flatcars en route to Canada for train ing of Canadian troops. It was only

P O L I T I C S : All Out

In the last month b«fore election day, all candldoles In the Presiden-tial sweepstakes were out on the stump and dated to stay out until a few days before November 5.

Wendell L. WlUkie, the Republi-can candidate, after a swing through the East and a week devoted to New Engiatjd, headed back toward the Midwest, covering New York state, Ohio. Illinnis and Missouri.

Defense and labor were the theme of his addresses In the East. He charged the New Deal had bungled America's defense during the seven years of Hitler's rise in Europe and cited speeches of the President to show that he was acquainted wKh the danger but did not press for a stronger army and navy.

President Kooscvelt swung through western Pennsylvania and Ohio, In-specting steel plants and making the dedication address at Pittsburgh's Terrace Village, where the U. S. Housing authority's 100.000th unit was opened

Before leaving the White House, the President cited a Rome dispatch In that day's newspaper as proving the contention that the Axis powers were seeking his defeat The dis-patch read:

"The Axis Is out to defeat Presi-dent Roosevelt not as a measure of Interference In the Internal policies of the United States but because of the President's foreign policy, and because of everything he stands for in the eyes of the Italians and Ger-mans. The normal strategy of the Axis Is to do something before No-vember 5 that would have a great effect on the election campaign."

The vice presidential candidates also were on the stump. One day in Minnesota Henry A. Wallace's car was attached to the Same train on which Charles A. McNary rode.

FREEDOM: At Columbia U,

Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, 78-year-old president of Columbia uni-versity. whose politics seldom have been free from criticism, stirred up another hornet's nest when be spoke to the school's faculty on "The World Crisis." Discussing academ-ic freedom—freedom of speech for teachers—he said that In this emer-gency the right should be confined to "accomplished scholars." He def-initely ruled out students. He told the faculty members that "behind the war of conflicting doctrines, there is no doubt where Columbia stands." He Invited all who did not agree to withdraw

Some Columbia professors praised the stands, some were noncommit-tal and others considered a formal protest. The student newspaper voiced objection. In congress Sen. Rush Holt (D., W. Va.) and Sen. Bennett Clark (D.. Mo.)'denounced the statement.

M I S C E L L A N Y : C. Not all the funniest things happen in Washington. But In one week: The Federal Works administration distributed an official's speech with a memorandum attached saying. •'This speech was not delivered"; the navy submitted plans for a tem-porary building designed to be so ugly it would be replaced soon; con-gress amended a law which gave the king of England Jurisdiction In the District of Columbia; the gov-ernment reported officially that the Germans were not undermining the thumb tack industry, and a mother-in-law wrote the draft board asking that her son be sent "far. far away." C. Steve Vasllakos. who has sold peanuts at a stand tn front of the White House during the terms of five Presidents, received citizenship papers after falling on three pre-vious occasions to pass educational tests. The following day be posted a sign announcing he would give to the Red Cross the receipts of two days' sales. "We Americans must do our part," he said.

REA! THE AD!

Mechanised and motorized forces are essential to telephone preparedness. In Michigan there are 1,275 telephone trucks and c a n — most of them equipped with tools, power units and material. Their day-by-day work may not seem dramatic. But in time of emergency . . . flood, tornado, sleet storm . . . these mechanized forces can be mobilised like an a m y . For instance, following the 1938 hurricane in New England, Michigan's trucks and trained crews worked side by side in the storm area with others ffom as far west as Nebraska. Mechanized preparedness is but one of many reasons why this Company is ready to do its part in the program of national defense.

Secret of Trees Told by M. S. t

Four million tiny tree teedllngt comprise the crop expected by the nurseryman in charge of the Clarke-McNary forest nuraery at Michigan State College from the plantings going into the ground this fall.

That crop will come from the seeds that will be gathered from underneath trees. In f ac t 200 pounds of tree aeeds will tupply the new nurtery stock.

The procets It likened to that of a farmer gathering In a grain crop, says P . W. Robblna, In charge of Lhe college nursery. Seeds are gath-ered, ripened and dried, threshed out and cleaned and planted. Na-ture's way.

Cones are picked up from be-neath such evergreens a t white, Norway, jack and Scotch pines, and white. Norway and black apruce and northern white cedar. From the hardwoodt tbe ripe fruit or podt are picked up from oaks, black locust and maples.

Treatment of tbe cones la Inter-eating. Gathering It completed while the conea are cloaed or In a green to purple state, to that teedt are still Intact Thit procets la car-ried on from early September un-til late October for some species. Curing It done in trays or on can-vas. Some cones open naturally, while others must be kiln dried or heat treated.

Threahing takes place in a thaker with one side open to permit seeds to come out through a screen. Then the wlngt are taken off the ever-green seedt by rubbing over an-other screen and a term fanning mill completes the cleaning.

One bushel of white pine cones will produce one half to three-fourtha of a pound of teed, or 15,000 to 20,000 seedlings. Trees grown In the nursery are aubsequently sold at coat to farmert.
