Board Is Presented by

Gavel Club to Village in

Fitting Program.

The dedication of the ServiceHonor Roll board at Cass City waswas' an auspicious occasion onMemorial Day and attracted alarge and attentive audience ofcitizens.

The high school band opened theprogram with several selections.Harold Oatley was master of cere-monies and Introduced Rev. Fr.John Bozek of St. Pancratiuschurch, who offered prayer, andDr. B. H. Starmann, president ofthe Gavel club, who briefly re-viewed the work of planning anderecting the service board and pub-licly thanked the citizens who gen-erously contributed money, mate-rials and time and assisted the clubin the project. The board is en-tirely a local product as every naildriven and every drop of paint ap-plied was the work of citizens ofthis community. "As we pass thisboard there is called to mind thatthe men and women whose namesare inscribed are giving every-thing," said Dr. Starmann, "andeach of us should ask himselfVhat am I doing to hurry theirreturn home and bring the war toa speedy end?'"

Dr. Starmann formally present-ed the service board to the villageand John A. Sandham, village pres-ident pro tern, in his response, saidthe village accepted the board inthe same spirit in which it waspresented and thanked the Gavelclub for the gift.

The color guard of the BoyScout troop raised the flag on thestaff and Scout James Mark ledthe .audience in the pledge of alle-giance. This was followed by thewords of dedication in which Rev.Fr. Bozek said in part:

"Of all the blessings that canbefall a community,, there is nonegreater than a choice of it by goodmen for their home, for the ex-ample of such men sets a stan-dard of conduct, and their^ influ-ence tends to lift those who comewithin its circle to their own level.In the quiet annals of this townthe incident of chief importance toits inhabitants was its selectionby the men whose names appear onthis Honor Roll as their hometown.

"The Gavel club of Cass City isto be congratulated, to be compli-mented on this wonderful project,in setting up such a beautiful andartistic Honor Roll, to commemo-rate the residence of these boys, inthis community, where their pres-ence has been so familiar, andwhere their voices have been sooften heard. It is well that thistown should accept this Honor Rollas a permanent record of greatservices rendered not only to thecountry at large, but to this verycommunity as such, by these men

In the second ball game, theCaro batters had difficulty withMcConnell's pitching because forsix innings not a man reached firstbase. In the last inning, Caro'sfirst batter dropped a bunt downthe third base line which at firstrolled foul, but by a freakish spinhopped inside the line just as theball stopped for a fair hit; thusrobbing Lee of a no-hit game.Strike-outs were 10 for McConnellin this game.

The Redhawks on the other handhad a field day at the plate pickingup seven hits and driving in eightruns. Strickland hit a three-bag-

Hebrews 11:1, "Faith the sub-stance of things hoped for," wasthe text used for the address, "The,Genius of Achievement", deliveredby Rev. George D. Bugbee, pastorof the Nazarene - church.

A high goal to be attained inlife is character. A good characteris necessary to succeed in any ven-ture. A good character is notmade in haste, but is moldedthrough a process of time by ourcompanionship, our choices of en-tertainment and habits cultivated,

Supposingthe news stated that one bomberand eight fighter planes were lost.Th total monetary loss would fig-ure a total of $1,450,000, not count-ing the lives of the men and theirindividual equipments, nor the costof ammunition.

Is Plan of War Department ;Many Stations and

Camps to Close.

: WASHINGTON. — The army ex-pects to have about 5,000,000 men,lor two-thirds of its forces, overseasjby the end of this year and as ai result will shut down many of itscamps and stations in the conti-nental United States.

Secretary of War Henry L. Stim-son disclosed this prospect at a

:news conference at which he also; warned against overoptimism over,the successful new Allied landingsto Italy. He said it is much tooearly to predict disastrous defeatfor «the Nazis in Italy; the mostwhich should be said is that the Al-lied position is favorable.

Oldsters to Be Retired.The contemplated total of forces

overseas by the year's end compareswith about 2,500,000 at present anda total of 2,086,000 in the AmericanExpeditionary force of World War I.

In connection with the expansionof overseas forces, the army willcomb over its personnel in the UnitedStates, picking out the youngest andphysically best qualified for serviceoverseas, and retiring to inactiveservice a number of older officers.

Stimson explained that the wardepartment has ordered physicallyqualified men in all branches oj the'army who have had more than a! year's service at jbced. stations orother activities in the United States

: reassigned to combat units "or mo-laile activities ultimately destined foroverseas service." '

... First to be reassigned will be en-listed men under 30 Si accordance"iwith the length of their service inthe United States. Next will comethose over 30, with the youngest tobe reassigned first. Passed over willbe men who already have servedoverseas since Pearl Harbor andmen who have highly specializedskills which cannot be used over-

:* Order of Eeplacements. •^ "Replacements for reassigned en-listed men," Stimson announced,"when necessary, will be made firstfrom civilians, next by Women'sArmy corps personnel, then, in or-der, by men permanently disquali-fied for overseas service, men whohave served overseas, recently in-ducted men with physical handicaps,enlisted men with less than 12months' service in fixed installationsin the United States."

The officers to be placed on theinactive list will come * iron% thoseover 38 and particularly those com-missioned directly from civilian lifeor in the national guard or reserve.

Caramels, Water Are NewRation for Shipwrecked

WASHINGTON.—The lives of hun-dreds of shipwrecked castawaysmay be saved by the use of a newdaily ration consisting of 10 butter-scotch caramels and a pint of wa-ter, developed by five conscientiousobjector "guine'a pigs" living on alife raft in the waters .off CapeCod.

This simple ration weighs one-third as much as the former emer-gency packet of dry biscuits, maltedmilk tablets and tinned meat. Ithas been recommended by doctorsof the Massachusetts General hos-pital who conducted the experi-ments.

In addition to taking up less roomthan the former ration and thusleaving more space for precious wa-ter, the caramel candy reduces theloss of bodily water caused by some-what salted tinned meat, present insome emergency rations. A mancan live without food for 30 days butonly about 6 to 10 days without wa-ter.

The five conscientious objectors,who had been drafted, volunteeredfor the experiments because, al-though opposed to aiding the war,they felt this would be a service tohumanity.

Russian Wounded GivenEggnog Through a Tube

BALTIMORE.—Feeding woundedRussian soldiers eggnog on a fieldhospital operating table has result-ed in more rapid recovery and aprobable reduction of the death rate,Dr. Henry E. Sigerist, professor ofhistory of medicine, Johns Hopkinsuniversity, said. ,

Basing his observations on reportsfrom Russia to the American-SovietMedical society, whose journal heedits, he said that the technique offeeding through a tube in the in-testine while a patient was being op-erated on for an abdominal woundwas perfected by the Russians tocounteract the general debility of awounded man.

He believes the Russian army isthe only one using the technique.

Births in Bermuda HitAll-Time High of 955

HAMILTON, BERMUDA.—The in-creasing pressure of Bermuda's pop-ulation on an area shrunk by UnitedStates bases is emphasized by fig-ures revealing 955 births last yearamong an estimated 35,000 perma-nent residents within 1,800 squaremiles. This 955 represents an all-time high and is made more com-plicated by the fact that about 21per cent of the births are illegiti-mate.

DEPOSIT IN KETTLE

Question: Can you tell me howI can get rid of the lime that hassettled on the inside of my castaluminum kettle?

Answer: There are several waysof removing that hard water de-posit. Fill the kettle with watermixed with ) cider vinegar in theproportion of a 'cupful to a quart.Bring to a boil and allow to standovernight. Another way is to mashthree or four raw potatoes in thekettle with a little water. Afterstanding for several hours, more wa-ter is added, and the whole isbrought to a boil. To prevent scalefrom forming, keep an oyster shellor flat stone in the kettle.

In hard water sections of the coun-try, a teakettle with a spout is notso practical as an ordinary sauce-pan. (Have you thought of installinga water softening unit after thewar?) The following item was sentin by one of our readers: "My moth-er advised me to empty my kettlesof remaining hot water and set themaway with fresh cold water in them.I followed her advice for eight yearsnow, and have no scale in either myv«l*-***&,-~-~*»--"**—^*~~~ Mf1r~ ,-^afc*««»~v«^ ..L.~-- • •_'

attic. The house is 15 years old,and the builder tells me that thosespaces should be closed. What ad-vantage would there be in closingthem?

Answer: With those spaces opento the cellar and attic there is acontinual draft through them. Inwinter this draft tends to chill thehouse, and, at all times, it wouldsuck a cellar fire into the walls.There is every advantage in closingthose spaces.

* * *Drier Basket Stuck Fast

Question: We bought a second-hand washing machine. The direc-tions said to remove the agitatorand drier basket to clean the tubafter each washing is done. Thedrier basket evidently is\ so cakedwith soap that it will not budge.The manufacturer's suggestion wasto force it out with rope, but stillthe basket won't budge. What canyou suggest?

Answer: Try soaking with a hotsolution of washing soda, about twopounds to the gallon of water. Al-low to soak for 24 hours or so, thentry to remove the basket. It maybe that the basket is jammed onthe shaft. A machine-shop mechan-ic or your plumber may be able toremove it for you.

* * *Wavy Shingles

Question: What makes a new as-bestos shingle roof full of waves, in-stead of lying flat? Is there anyremedy?

Answer: Asbestos shingles arerigid. You probably have asphaltshingles on your roof. These, whenput on over wood shingles withoutfilling in the hollow spaces at thebutts of the old shingles, will followthe contour of the roofing under itwhen the heat of the sun softens theasphalt. Bevel or "feather-edge"wood strips should have been used tomake a level surface for new shin-gles. Nothing can be done to elimi-nate the waviness except to re-laythe shingles.

* * *Insulating a House

Question: What is the best timeof year to have insulation blown intoa dwelling? When openings are madein winter, is not the cold, damp airtrapped inside the walls?

Answer: Insulation can be blewnin at any time of year, providedthe weather is clear. Cold weatherwill not affect the efficiency of thematerial used.

* * »Mixing Paint

Question: Can you give me information on mixing paint or tell mewhere I can get a chart for mixingpaint to get different colors?

Answer: Write to the Lead In-dustries Association, 420 LexingtonAvenue, New York City, for the information that you require.

* * *Cedar Lining

Question: The cedar wood liningin our clothes closet has -dried outand not much scent remains. Whatcan I do to bring back the cedarscent?

Answer: You might be able torestore the cedar odor by scrapingor planing off some of the surfaceof the boards. If this fails, youcan coat it with a liquid containinga cedar odor. For the name of thisproduct, write to the Architects Sam.pies Exhibit, 101 Park Avenue, NewYork.

A man recently married had inhis bachelor days a reputation fordrinking too much. One day he saidthat he had to be at a meeting toelect a new director.

His young wife was distressed,and made him promise he wouldnot touch a drop of anything all theevening.

The voting at'the meeting resultedin the election of a man namedHoops. All the evening the younghusband had determinedly steeredclear of proffered drinks and at 11o'clock—completely sober and filledwith righteous pride—it occurred tohim to phone his wife.

"Hullo, dear," he said. "It's Jim.""Oh," replied his wife. "How did

everything go? Whom did youelect?"

"Hoops, my dear," responded thehusband.

"Oh, Jim," said the wife, hervoice breaking, "how could you?After all you promised!"

I They're Everywhere—The German» Who Became a British Censor

He was suspected only once, by a camera shopkeeper.

«« JOHNNY JONES a spy? Non-*J sense! Why, I've known him all

my life, almost. We went to highschool together. Played on the samefootball team. Why, say, only fiveyears ago he got the Carnegie medalfor heroism! Why, he even worksfor the government. You're crazy!"

But here's what happened duringthe first World war:

Jules C. Silber had lived in BritishSouth Africa so long that he spokeEnglish like a native, and the fewwho knew he had been born in Ger-many had either forgotten or dis-counted that fact. He fought forEngland against the Boers, and hisrecord was enviable.

But Jules Silber was a GermamWhen in 1914, the first World warbegan, his only thought was how hecould best serve the land of hisbirth. With Silber, thought and ac-tion went hand in hand, so next wefind him in England, armed withhis flawless English, and documentstestifying to his deeds for Englandagainst the Boers.

That German was his, nativetongue never occurred to the Eng-lish, and his command of German,plus his record, placed him on thespot he most desired—the censor'soffice. For Silber, the post was per-fection itself. Giving him access tovast amounts of confidential infor-mation, it also immunized him tothe three greatest risks facing allspies. These are: Accounting for

the spy'.s i presence in the countrywhere he works, accounting for hisincome, and the sending and re-ceiving of messages.

Silber's presence in England waslegitimate. He worked in the cen-sor's office. His income from thecensor's office was sufficient to keepMm. As he sent Berlin only suchinformation as came to his handas censor, he had to receive no or-ders from his German chiefs. And,as censor, he could pass his own spymessages under his own officialseal.

He was suspected only once. Sil-ber purchased considerable photo-graphic equipment to photographdocuments he* spirited out overnightfrom the censor's office. The shop-keeper who sold him these suppliessuspected him and reported him.That worthy tradesman earned, in-stead of praise, a stinging officialrebuke.

Ironically, toward the close of thewar, Silber's efficiency ended hiscareer. The English promoted himto a post so high he was no longerable to handle mail. He had be-come too valuable for that. So, Sil-ber calmly disappeared, and madehis way to Germany, and there hisrole as a spy was later revealed.

Most successful spies are long reia-idents of the country where theywork. Many pass for native borncitizens.

Straight SkinnyThe "straight skinny" isn't an

elongated person, but is the "cor-rect dope," in marine jargon. Theexpression cropped up for the firsttime during the heat of battle onBougainville. Some unidentifiedmarine (gyrene in "slanguage")asked a mate in a foxhole, "Is thatthe straight skinny?" and it sound-ed so natural that it took on. It isnow part of the marine vocabularywhich includes words dating backto the Revolutionary war.

Costly LossIt is estimated that the cost to

industry for the loss of one eye isapproximately $12,000, and that thecost for the loss of both eyes runsas high as $40,000.

Oak Bluff BreezesEach year at this time it has

been rather interesting to noticethe movement of the carp varietyof fish, as they come into the shal-low water along the shore forspawning. Literally thousands arevisible in the shore vegetation,ranging in size from a foot to twoor three feet in length and fromtwo or three pounds to 20 or 25pounds in weight. On quiet eve-nings, they seem to enjoy jumpingout of water full length and appar-ently they would like to take tothe air as the flying fishes of theoceans. This week for the firsttime the local commercial fisher-men have set their nets in close toshore and within a stone's throwof the cottages, and have been get-ting very profitable lifts, one dayhaving taken over 5,000 poundswhich are shipped to the New Yorkmarket. At present prices thisnets a very tidy sum. Only fishover four pounds are taken, thesmaller ones being returned to thewater.

Ci'.snse FoodsP. izyrr.es or ferments are chem-

ical agents normally present infruits, vegetables, meats, fish andother foods. They are also producedby growing micro-organisms. Theseenzymes cause or stimulate chem-ical changes in foods. Because ofthe action of enzymes, freshlyslaughtered beef and lamb becomemore tender when ripened or agedproperly. On the other hand, en-zymes are also partially responsiblefor old flavors in stored foods andfor the rancidity that may developin frozen pork fat. j

OUR Edison bill willsoon begin to come to you inpost card form.

It will be simpler — easier toread — a convenient size — andmore practical in several ways.It will be small enough to slipinto your pocket. With all its ad-vantages, it will also help thewar effort.

For one thing, the new bill willsave paper. Envelopes are elimi-nated, and this savef 25,544pounds of paper a year. Inaddition, the new post card billwill save manpower and trans-portation.

This is a wartime emergencymeasure. But we are sure youwill like the new bill for its owngood features—even without thepaper an,d manpower saving itmakes possible. It is a goodmethod that has been tested andproved. People like it.

We believe you will, too.

Plowing DesirableSoils on which erosion cannot be

controlled should not be plowed orat least should not be left withoutprotection for long. Where erosioncan be controlled, however, soilsshould not be plowed more frequent-ly .than necessary, although onheavy, poorly aerated soils, morefrequent plowing may be desirable.Air is needed in these soils so thatchemically active oxygen may makeavailable nitrogen stored there.

Grown From CrownsBoth the black and purple rasp-

berries grow from central crownsand are usually kept in hills. Lastsummer the canes should have beentipped at 18 to 24 inches, to growside shoots. This spring dead canesand weak growth should be cut out.The lateral branches on black rasp-berries may be shortened to 5 to 8inches; laterals on purple raspber-ries should be left 10 to 14 incheslong.

Order $2,400 PayLid on Farm Work

State Boards to Be Set UpTo Hold Hearings.

WASHINGTON.—In a move un-precedented in all American farmhistory, a wage control program foragricultural workers, with maxi-mum ceilings of $2,400 a year, hasbeen ordered by Marvin Jones, warfood administrator.

Aids of the administrator, who dis-closed the plan, said War Food ad-ministration labor offices have beendirected to set up state farm wageboards to hold hearings and estab-lish maximum wages.

These groups would function muchin \ the manner of the War Laborboard in determining the ceilings forindustrial workers. Shortly after the1942 wage stabilization act waspassed. Stabilization Director JamesF. Byrnes put farm wages underthe supervision of the WFA but of-ficials did not consider it necessaryto take any immediate general ac-tion toward control.

Now however, farm wages havereached the highest point in 20years. Many workers have goneinto war plants. Those who haveremained on the farms have re-ceived what amounts to a blanketdeferment from selective service.There are few restrictions on theirtransfer from one farm to another.Thus they are in a position to bar-gain.

This, it was disclosed, has playeda big part in leading the WFA intothe unprecedented wage-control pro-gram.

The farm wage boards will be in-structed to set ceilings only forspecific types of work or farm op-erations for certain designatedareas. Wages considered substand-ard will not be affected. However,ceilings below the $2,400 level maybe set if boards consider it neces-sary, j

Service Deaths FromWounds Less Than 3 Pet.WASHINGTON.—Fewer than 3 per

cent of men wounded in battle dieafter being admitted to a hospitalnow.

Reporting this, Maj. Gen. NormanT. Kirk, the army's surgeon gen-eral, noted it was less than halfthe fatality rate of 7.4 per cent inthe first World war.

Much of the credit, he said, isdue to the fact that fee army hastaken .surgery to the front lines.Auxiliary surgical groups, eachcomposed of more" than 50 teamsand, like firemen, ready for instantduty at any required spot, are inthe battle area.

A "general team may consist of ageneral surgeon, an assistant sur-geon, an anesthetist, a nurse andtwo surgical technicians.' They taketheir own equipment with them—in-struments, tents, sterilizers, auxil-iary power units. In addition to thegeneral teams, there are other spe-cialist groups such as those to doorthopedic, nerve or brain surgery.

Kirk also attributes the low hos-pital death rate to the use of bloodplasma together with whole bloodwhen needed, sulfa drugs, goodnursing care and rapid transporta-tion to base hospitals.

CASS CITY CHRONICLE—FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1944. Cass City, Michigan.

Needed: 28,000,000 Bags of BeansThe War Food Administration and Army and Navy's

1944 program calls for 28,000,000 bags of beans. Half will be

needed for the home folks, half for our soldiers, sailors and

allies. Yet the supply of Beans now on hand is low. If this

fall's crop is the same as last year's the supply will be way*

short of our needs. The only solution is for patriotic Amer-

ican Farmers—like you—to increase your acreage now.

There's no food to take the place of Navy Beans.

Already dehydrated by nature, they're packed with energy

and vitamin B. They have more food value than other foods of

equal bulk. They're easy to cook, pack and ship. In many

cases the beans you grow will be in the mess kits of our fight-

You'll Be a\

Mighty Proud

You'll be proud, if you double up your acreage of

Michigan Navy Beans this spring. Proud, because Uncle

Sam desperately needs a 40% increase in Navy Bean acre-

age. Proud, because Michigan Navy Beans are playing a

prominent part in supplying vitally needed food and energy

to our fighting men overseas, our workers at home, and our

friends in liberated areas. Here's the whole story:

ing men a few weeks after you have harvested them. One

acre of Navy Beans will serve a meal of beans to twelve thou-

sand American soldiers. As now packed for oversea's ship-/ ,

ment, dry Navy Beans stay dry—even though loaded and un-

loaded in rain, sleet or snow.

You'll Be Proud-To Do Your PartThe urgently needed, additional Navy Bean supply

must come almost entirely from Michigan — for Michigan's

favorable climate and soil produce the best flavored, best

yield beans in the world.

It is up to us—up to you—to do your part for America's

food supply by stepping up your bean acreage this spring.

OP A Is Old Stuff;Cromwell Had It!

Colonies Had Something of

Kind in Their Day.

CHICAGO.—Oliver Cromwell hadan OPA in his day and the Ameri-can colonists had one in 1776, accord-ing to Alex Elson, acting regionalOPA director. He has an originalof "An Act for Limiting and Settingthe Prices of Wines" of 1657 anda copy of the law of Colonial days.

The first OPA on this continentwas enacted by the general assem-bly of Rhode Isla'nd and Providenceplantations "to prevent monopoliesand unreasonable prices for many ofthe necessaries and conveniences oflife and for the better supply of ourtroops in the army with such neces-saries as may be wanted."

Parliament passed the Wines actat Westminster on September 17,1656, to go into effect for one yearbeginning August 15, 1657. This actprescribed ceilings of 18 pence &iquart for all Spanish wines, sevenpence a quart for all French wines,and 12 pence a quart for Rhenishwines.

Pence was equivalent to about twocents and shillings were worth about25 cents.

Wine retailers "exceeding therates, proportions and prices here-by respectively limited and appoint-ed" were subject to a forfeiture pen-alty of "the sum of five pounds" forany quantity sold above the ceiling.

Not only food and liquor, but laborand service and restaurant priceswere covered in the act passed atProvidence, R. I., at the behest ofa New England committee set upfor the purpose of "regulating anarmy, for supporting the currency,and affixing the prices of labour,goods, wares, merchandise, etc."

The ceiling on "grass-fed beef ofthe best quality", was fixed at threepence per pound in Massachusetts,Rhodex Island and New Hampshire,and 24 shillings per 100 pounds inConnecticut.

U. 5. Army Buys Lot ofNorthern Ireland Land

BELFAST.—The U. S. army,which pays Irish landowners $400an acre for their farms, has takenover so much territory in northernIfeland that it has become one ofthe country's biggest landlords.

Although the land being acquiredfor air fields, army camps and planeassembly plants is rented in someinstances, many of - the acres arepurchased lock, stock and barrel forthe duration.

When this is done, the UnitedStates pays 100 pounds an acre—fixed as a fair purchase price whichthe farmers are delighted to accept.At that price they can replace theirlost acres by purchasing farms inother sectors.

Scores of cottages, cabins andderelict farm houses have been flat-tened for air fields and camps, butthere is one farm sideline which theTJ. S. troops are finding useful. Inmany cases they have taken overturf (peat) stores and in dozens ofmesses U. S. soldiers are gettingwarmth from real old Irish turffires.

Much of the land purchased by theUnited States is expected to be soldback to the original owners at great-ly reduced prices after the war.

Airplane Plants NeedMore Women Urgently

SAN FRANCISCO.—Women arestill being hired in larger numbersthan men in West Coast aircraftplants, in spite of reports that thedemand is easing off, and officialssaid that the need would increaseas 1944,wore on and more men leftthe assembly lines, for military serv-ice.

Figures collected from the Boeingplant in Seattle and the Consolidat-ed, Vultee, Douglas, Northrop, NorthAmerican, Ryan, Lockheed andVega companies in Californiashowed that women now made upnearly 44 per cent of the total laborforces of these members of the Westcoast aircraft war production coun-cil.

Construction Awards in1943 Decline 60 Per CentNEW YORK.—Construction con-

tract awards in 1943 aggregated $3,-273,990,000 in 37 states east of theRocky mountains, a drop of 60 percent from record volume of $8,255,-061,000 in 1942, F. W. Dodge corpora-tion reported.

"The decline from 1942 reflectedthe passing of the peak in construc-tion for war purposes and the con-tinuance of restrictions on civilianconstruction ruled nonessential," theresearch agency said.

Construction of public buildingsregistered the largest decline at 76per cent below the 1942 figure. Low-est was in hospital and institutionbuildings with a drop of 40 per cent.

Dog Saves Three inFire; Loses Own Life

CHICAGO. — Tuffy, the dogcredited with arousing and sav-ing the lives of his mistress, Mrs.Cora Ballard, 78 years old, and ofher two granddaughters, Laureland Jean Nelson, when an explo-sion set fire to their home ;^152 Whipple street, Batavia, didnot manage to save his own life,firemen reported.

The country newspaper editorwas in a retrospective mood.

"Some of today's trends disturbme," hg began.

It was a warm spring afternoonand we were traveling in an auto-mobile together on a short busi-ness trip.

"Maybe I'm just old-fashioned,or 'perhaps it's because I am get-ting older and my hair is turninggray. But I do observe thatchanges are taking 'place in thelives of the people of my town andcounty. And I wonder what willbe the outcome of these changes,tomorrow, after the war.

"Take the farmer, for example.I, attended a meeting of the coun-ty AAA committee the other day.There was a time when all govern-ment control and regulation werehighly repugnant to the grower.He shied away from the govern-ment's efforts to regiment his af-fairs.

"Now some of our best farmersare members of the county com-mittee. They talk enthusiasticallyabout the very things they oncecondemned. What about this thingcalled free enterprise? As I see it,we're losing something that madeAmerica great—freedom of the in-dividual to think and to act forhimself. Now, he expects the gov-ernment to do it for him.

* * *"And the merchant in town!

Well, you know the story!"Several things must have hap-

pened to him. First, the fast-mo-tored automobile and the modernconcrete highway have given theconsumer a choice between mytown and the nearby large city.Progressive merchants who studythe needs of the public and whotell the public about their mer-chandise through effective adver-tising are meeting this new trendpretty well. But some of the mer-chants are not.

"And then there is the growingconcentration of industry and busi-ness into the hands of corpora-tions and their stockholders—offer-ing more and better things oftenat lower prices. The merchant whoran the average business in mytown used to own the businesshimself. Now, the chances are in-creasing that he now works forcorporate owners.

"Community leadership is goingto suffer unless such merchantstake a personal active interest inthe welfare of the town and county.These men should participate in af-fairs of our village, such as theCommunity Chest, Parent-Teacherassociation, Chamber of Commerce,and the churches. We need theirleadership. They should assumeresponsibility for helping to makea better world, right here at home.The place to begin is in our ownhome town—our own back yard.

* * *"More and more, our people are

inclined to look to someone else fora solution of their problems.

"We want Washington or Lan-,sing to authorize an appropria-tion and build a post office or in-crease teachers' salaries, or do thisand that—things which our fatherswouldn't have asked for unlessthey were willing to pay the costthemselves.

"Cities refuse to increase schooltaxes and yet they demand thatthe State of Michigan return one-third of the state sales tax to localgovernments—counties, municipal-ities and schools. Plans are nowunder way, you know, to initiateby petition a constitutional amend-ment in Michigan to do just thisvery thing.

"Well—whose money is it any-way? It surely isn't 'state' moneyor 'federal' money. We pay it intaxes. During the state's fiscalyear ending last June 30, the Stateof Michigan distributed a littlemore than $134,000,000 back to lo-cal governments. That's a lot ofmoney. And it was 55 per cent ofall state revenues.

"Centralized distribution of pub-lic funds is breaking down our lo-cal tax responsibility. It invites amad scramble to get yours whilethe getting is good—and all thetime adding to the cost of our gov-ernment.

* * *"Maybe I'm an old fogey. But

as one newspaper editor who istrying to keep up with develop-ments, I'm frankly puzzled.

"I know we've abandoned isola-tionism. Sure, it's as dead as thedodo bird. The other day didn't anarmy airplane span the continent,California to New York, in a littlemore than six hours? Bombers flyacross the Atlantic like Michiganpheasants wing over a pond. Onlya few months ago airplane watch-ers by the thousands were scan-ning the skies in northern Michi-gan for enemy airplanes that,thank God, never arrived.

"This global war is costing theAmerican taxpayers a fabuloussum, and we've got to buy morewar bonds if we are to defeat Hit-ler and Tojo. Can free enterprise—the right of the individual—survivesuch an ordeal? Well, obviouslywe've got to fight fire with fire,and lick fascism with strong eco-

nomic controls exercised by a cen-tralized authority that regimentsour entire lives. That's total war.

"And what is happening in Eu-rope doesn't help matters either.You can't destroy wealth that hasbeen accumulated by toil and thriftof many generations, without in-voking more centralized authorityto restore order out of disorder.

* * *"No, I don't like the prospect

one bit, but my guess is that Eu-rope is going to see more state so-cialism in the postwar reconstruc-tion period and that this sametrend, to a less degree, may takeplace in the United States unlesswe do something about it.

"Of course, I don't want it.Neither do the insurance compa-nies, or the medical doctors. Bu-reaucracy is a costly way of help-ing yourself.

"A business friend of mine is astaunch believer in the idea thatyou can't beat a trend and that youshouldn't buck a condition. What'sa trend or condition but the com-bined thinking or non-thinking of alot of us folks. Well, I'm still old-fashioned enough to wonder whythe individual isn't smart enoughto solve his own problems withoutrunning to the government all thetime."

* * *We listened to the country edi-

tor's observations, thinking abouttomorrow's historic assault of theAllies upon Hitler's European for-tress and the significance of thefateful decision that is yet to come.

Is this editor a "reactionary"?Is it possible to beat a trend?

As we asked these questions, si-lently the thought came to us thata lot of other Michigan people maybe8 wondering about tomorrow andwhere we are going.

History insists that every greatwar has been followed by somekind of a revolution—"revolution"being another word for change.World War II can't, be an excep-tion to the rule—or can it? Whatdo you think? What are you go-ing to do? It's your decision, too^

ance that we are back of them 100per cent, fighting this war asbravely, as courageously, on thehome' front, as they are waging iton the war front. We can givethem that assurance, my goodfriends, by doing our duty as loyalcitizens and loyal Americans, bykeeping at, our jobs, by buyingWar bonds, by producing as muchas possible on our farms, workingat it, day in and day out, until vic-tory is ours.

"And last, but not least, let usgive them this one assurance, thatwe shall not fail them, in storm- jing heaven with our prayers in •asking Almighty God to watchover the souls of those who are ex- \posed to the horrors of war, and jto the spiritual dangers peculiar to!a soldier's and a sailor's life. It |is our sincere prayer that God maygive them such strong faith, thatno human respect may ever leadthem to deny it, or to fear to prac-tice it, and may God by His gracefortify them against the contagionof bad example, that being pre-served from vice, and serving Godfaithfully, they may be ready tomeet death whenever it may ar-rive.

"May I also add, myfriends, that whenever you stop toadmire this beautiful Honor Roll,or to read their names, that youwill also stop long enough to saya little prayer for the boys whosenames appear on this Honor Roll.They will appreciate it and I amsure God will bless you for it."

The program closed with theband playing the national anthem.

proposition to make it a success,to institute the family altar, go tochurch and support it as a funda-mental part of our democracy.America must get back to herknees or be destroyed by forcesand ravages of war and chaos.

The last goal of which Mr. B,ug-bee spoke was doing, good. Wemust do an unremunerative ser-vice to mankind in alleviating someof the distresses of life. Peopleare dying and are hungry for kind-ness. It should be our goal in lifeto do good and contribute some-thing to society that will live afterwe are gone. Jesus came to min-ister, unto and not to be ministeredto. There is no place in societyfor an introvert.

The address was concluded withthe thought that we should live sowhen our life has been spent, wecan feel the neighborhood in whichwe lived was better because we hadresided there; our business asso-ciates, our church and all are bet-ter because of our being a part ofit. A motto the speaker gave thegraduates to live by was the verse,"Count that day lost whose lowdescending sun, finds at thy handsno worthy action done."
