Charles A. McCaslin is 68. Hehas lived in Cass City about fiftyyears and has Been a barber herefor forty-six.

He worked out the idea of amotor-powered ice sled .quite sometime 'ago and built a model fiveinches long out of baling wire. Henever seemed to find time to buildthe actual full-sized vehicle until

a gasoline engine and beganbuilding the project he had thoughtabout so long.

The frame of the sled is of 1}4in. and 1% in. gas pipe and it hasthree runners, four inches by forty-five inches, which Charley made ofwhite ash. The runners arefastened to the f^rame with a hinge-joint, so they will run over roughice and not be broken. The front

steering.Charley worked out a very clever

idea for driving the sled over theice by using an 18-in. plow coulter.He used a special grinding wheeland ground teeth on thecircumference of the steel coulter,then hung it on a hinged frame atthe back of the^sled frame. Twosprings pull the swinging framedownward and hold the wheelagainst the ice and at the .sametime allow it to swing upward in

case it hits an obstruction or roughice. Power from the 1% h. p. gaso-line engine is transferred to thecoulter by a V-belt and bicyclechain and sprocket arrangement.The V-belt is fitted loosely and hasan idler-wheel that acts as a clutch.To run the sled, a lever is movedand the idler-wheel tightens the V-belt. This causes the coulter to turnand the teeth dig into the ice andpush the sled forward.

A hand throttle, mounted on thebicycle handlebars used, regulatethe speed of the sled from five totwenty miles an hour and the ridersits on a motqrcycle saddle. Theweight of the sled is about two,hundred and twenty- five poundsand except for the welding, Charleydid all the work himself.

School ProblemsTold to RotaryClub on Tuesday

Probable Increased Atten-

dance in Future Will Make

Housing Still More Difficult

The need for better facilities forcaring for the increasing numberof students in the local schools waspresented by ,Supt. of SchoolsWillis Campbell and FrederickPinney, a member of the board ofeducation, to the Rotary Club atits Tuesday luncheon at the NewGordon Hptel Restaurant.

At present there are 426 gradechildren and 352 high school stu-dents, a total of 779. To accommo-date this number it has been neces-sary to utilize, in addition to regu-lar class rooms, the basement ofthe Evangelical United BrethrenChurch for the kindergarten, ateachers' rest room for the 4th and6th grades, part of the originalhome economics room for thesecond grade, and two rooms onthe third floor built for high schoolrecitation rooms for the 3rd and5th grades. The average number ineach room is 33 students.

Next year it is anticipated thatthere will be 400 students in highschool, the largest number in thehistory of the school, and withinthree years the kindengarten crowdwill be considerably larger than atpresent which, with a probable in-crease in the grades, will make theproblem of housing still more diffi-cult.

With greater facilities needed,the situation may be solved with anew building. Plans have beenconsidered for the erection of anew school building a block east ofthe present school to house thekindergarten and two divisions,each of the first, second and thirdgrades to relieve the overcrowdedcondition. In the event such aproject is approved by the board ofeducation, a special election toraise the money by a bond issuewill be necessary. The last bond onthe present school building will beretired next year and there is$14,000 in a school building fundin the school treasury.

The present enrollment of theschool shows 349 resident pupilsand 430 non-resident. One hundredsixty-seven non-resident gradepupils pay a tuition of $31,730.00and 263 high school students $62,-462.50 which totals $94,192.50. Thissum is $31,823.50 over operating;costs for this group.

The board of education are inoffice to carry out the wishes of thepeople of the community and willwelcome helpful suggestions.

A similar consideration of theschool problem was discussed at arecent gathering of the Gavel Cluband the matter will be presented ata Woman's Study Club meeting inthe near future.

Dr. P. A. Schenck was programchairman at Tuesday's meeting ofthe Rotarians and luncheon guestsincluded D. N. Protzman of Elkton,Al Granzow of Highland Park, andEd Riley, Carl Kinsey, Carl Palmerand A. B. Quick, all of Caro.

MONTAUBAN, FRANCE.—Morethan 200 people went to the villageof St. Pierre, near here, to mournat the grave of Joseph Cheroux whodied at the age of 88.

Why? They didn't come simplyout of respect, or to mourn him—no, they came also in hopes of ob-taining his memoirs, the fabulous"book of beggars," and they of-fered his relatives fabulous sumsfor it.

"We should have loved to sellout to the highest bidder," saidCharles, the eldest son. "One manwas ready to pay 200,000 francs—roughly about $700—for a copy.Alas! The trouble is that we, our-selves, cannot find the manuscript.The old man hid it somewhere andwe don't know where to look for it."

Reticent About FortuneCharles was reticent about the

fortune which the old "papa" hadileft, but he admitted that his fatherhad died a rich man. Most of thismoney came 1 r o m beggars inFrance, Holland and Belgium, andconsisted of fees paid to "Papa Che-roux."

Joseph Cheroux, the "king of thebeggars," possessed that inventivegenius, combined with an extraor-dinary ability for big scale or-ganization, that makes men cap-tains of industry. Fifty years agohe decided to apply his great tal-ents to the organization of the beg-ging fraternity.

Cheroux did two things for hisprofession: He offered new methodsof begging, for a small share in•the earnings, or a substantial fee;he also compiled the first "Direc-tory for Beggars"—a fat volumewith the names of many thousandsof rich "donors" in western Europeand Britain.

Cheroux invented over a hundrednew tricks for street beggars.

Look at the poorly dressed man,carrying a heavy suitcase. A smallboy accompanies him, holding hishand. He stops a passer-by andasks, in the broad dialect of thecountryman, how he could get bedsfor the boy and himself for a shil-ling. He came to the city this morn-ing, and had his purse stolen by apickpocket at the railway station.The little boy nods his head, aridcries: "I'm hungry, daddy." Be-lieve it or not several pounds aday can be made with this little act.

Favorite TrickEven more successful, according

to Cheroux, was his "match trick"—prerequisites: An old man orwoman, poorly dressed but cleanand neat, and a box of matches. Atdusk, in one of the 'good' streets,the old beggar lights a match andlooks along the gutter.

Alas and alack, she has droppeda coin, a half crown piece thatshould have paid for her supperand the return fare to a distantsuburb. Kind hearted r>eople try tohelp her find the coin. They dipinto their own pocket to console the,distressed old being.

Cheroux's cynical suggestion tohis clients: "Most people are busy-bodies—they will ask you what youare doing when they see you lightyour match. Take many boxes."

Law Making I! DifficultOn Woman Doing Kind Deed

CHAMPAIGN, ILL.—The law ismaking it plenty tough on Mrs.Nelson Dinkle, whq only did a kinddeed. She found six calves roamingalong the highway near her farmnear Seymour. She had no facilitiesfor the calves, so put them in herown chicken yard hoping theowner would come get them.

The law relating to e strays—val-uable animals, not wild, foundwandering from their owner—saysthat Mrs. Dinkle must care for thecattle for one year. Then she cansell the calves, deduct the year'supkeep cost from the proceeds andturn the remainder over to thecounty.

The law says she must do otherthings, too. She must report tocounty officials her findings, getthe value of the calves appraisedand have a public notice publishedfor three weeks.

Mrs. Dinkle said she had no wayof caring for the calves and hopedthe owner would see the all she ranin the Jpaper and come and claimhis livestock.

Burglar Mueh FrustratedAfter Seen In Restaurant

WASHINGTON.—Because he wasspotted about 4 a.m. pounding awayat the safe in a restaurant, a bur-glar experienced a mortifying se-ries of vexatious frustrations.

When police arrived at the res-taurant he scuttled for the rearexit but couldn't find it. He climbedto a skylight and smashed his wayto the roof, but the drop to theground was too far.

He crawled into the bedroom ofand adjoining apartment, but theoccupants woke up and chasedhim downstairs. He crouched in acloset and the officers found him.

Then came the final blow. Whenhe stood up, his pants fell down.They were weighted with $8.10 insmall change stolen from the res-taurant.

LETS TALK IT OVEREd. Vallender — Farm Editor

Station WBCM Bay City, Michigan

Seed Buyers Beware.Dinnie L. Clanahan of the Crops

department, Michigan State Col-lege is» concerned lest farmersplant the wrong varieties of seed onseveral ' northeastern Michigncrops.

We had a visit with Dinnie inthe county agent's office inStandish the other day. In buyingalfalfa seed, says Dinnie, even 99percent purity is1 a risky proposi-tion. The other one percent couldbe mustard seed and 20,000 mustardplants per acre would certainlyproduce an inferior hay crop.

Agricultural experts are urgingfarmers to buy their grass andlegume seed early this year. Thereis a nation-wide shortage of thosetwo kinds and prices are bound togo higher, also quality decrease byplanting time.

Oat Varieties Important.Several mid-western states have

reported serious damage to oatcrops from new diseases. DinnieClanahan says that , Michiganfarmers can be reasonably sure ofa good harvest if they stick toEaton or Kent varieties.

Eggs Make News.A nation-wide drive is underway

to get folks to eat more eggs. Thepoultry business is the number twosource of income for Michiganfarmers. Egg prices have droppedsharply since last fall. Heavy eggproduction and the lowered govern-ment support price have contrib-uted to this price drop. The mildwinter has been instrumental incausing biddy to over-produce.

According to the boys who drawup the figures, there are three hensto every man, woman and child inthe U. S. The hen population is upsix percent over last year (440million layers) and these same hensare averaging 170 eggs per yearagainst 139 in 1941.Hatcheries Report Poor Business.

There is a definite lag in thepurchase of baby chicks. With to.-day's prices there's no inducementfor the farmer and his wife to e$rpand their poultry operations.However, the consumer is enjoyingthe benefits—his egg prices beingthe lowest since 1942. We've talkedwith operators of local hatcheriesand they say that poultrymen arenot bringing in the, volume of earlyorders. The chick started now- isusually the one that brings themost profits-. . .both in meat andearly fall eggs. The Department ofAgriculture forecasts that 1950 eggprices will not average more thanone-sixth lower than last year. TheGovernment took four percent of

the total egg production off the?market in the support program in1949. Under the new support levels,it is reasonable to assume that evensmall quantities will be purchasedfor storage this year.

Consumers Call the Turn.Just a year or so ago, we had

congressional investigations overhigh prices . . . Meat, butter andegg prices were a. national scandal.The American farmer has broughtup production of these items to theplace where they are the best buysin food. It remains- the responsi-bility of the homemaker to servemore of these .abundant farm-products in order that the farmercan profitably continue to producethem.

Only by all of us joining in to"eat an extra egg a day" tomorrowand for weeks to come is the U. S.going to be able to keep up to thebumper production job its hens-are doing. We can eat well andstill have reasonable farmprices . . . if we fail to removesurpluses from the market, farmerswill discontinue operations andshortages and high prices willagain prevail.

PHILADELPHIA. — The yen toprospect for buried pirate treasureis definitely on the up-trend, ac-cording to evidence available here-abouts. Men with mine detectorsroam New Jersey and the shoresof Delaware bay bear signs of thecorrectness of the conclusion.

So far as anyone knows, no onehas come up with any buried coinsor ingots or jewels, but digging isgoing on apace. The only portentof anything buried has been an oldiron pot or some other unmarket-able find. However, that hasn'tdimmed the lure of pirate gold andthe searchers continue on undis-couraged.

Dr. Henry C. Beck, an expert onpirate lore, is of the opinion thatthe men who are lugging the me-chanical detectors around haveabout as much chance of locatingtreasure as the plain pick-and-shovelers of 250 years ago. In fact,Dr. Beck is rather cynical on thesubject, for he adds that the .chancehe mentioned is^ practically nochance at all. There is, he said,no record that anyone anywherehas ever recovered any pirate gold.

Cites Boy's ExampleHe advises the hunters to follow

the example of Joseph BowlingJr., 11, and wander the Jerseycoast with the idea Joseph had—lfjust looking for things."

Joseph is the Philadelphia boywho brought home what amountedto a peanut bag full of 18th centurycoins (gold content uncertain) anda pile of buckles and cuffs.

"But as for the buried treasuresof Captain Kidd, Lafitte, Teach orany other buccaneers whom fact orromance brought to these shores,"Dr. Beck advises, one might aswell forget it.

The reason is simple. Kidd, La-fitte, Teach and the less notoriouspirates thought too much of them-selves to bury their wealth.

"By far the greatest number ofthem did not die on the gibbet," hesaid. "They vamoosed from thebusiness after they'd made theirpile and went to various other partsof the world, where they lived outtheir lives in ease."

Nevertheless, reports of buriedtreasure persist. One reason, Dr.Beck thinks, is that even as nowthe world of buccaneer days hadits practical jokers.

Pranksters Busy"They'd drop maps with the fa-

miliar skull and crossbones inplaces where they would be found,"he said, "and then sit back to en-joy the uproar."

One such hoax led to the firstlarge scale treasure hunt Dr. Beckhas been able to trace. It occurredat Cape May, N. J., in 1701. Whenthe hunters learned they had beenfooled, they saw to it that the prank-sters were jailed.

If any pirate gold is to be foundhereabouts. Absecon island wouldbe a likely spot, Beck concedes.Unfortunately, the island is now oc-cupied by Atlantic City and the bestbeach front sites for digging areunder ton upon ton of resort hotels.

The Absecon islanders of theearly 18th century were themselvespracticing—if land based—pirates.Pirating was their industry. Theironly equipment was a donkey anda lantern. On stormy nights shipsbeating their way along the coastwould be misled by a lantern tied toa donkey-'s tail. The donkey wouldbe prodded along the beach in thedirection of Brigantine shoals andthe ship's master, having no otherbearing, would be lured by thelight on the shoals.

iaw Series TestsTo i@ Given at One Time

NEW YORK.—A shotgun hunt tofind and halt diseases the averageperson is unaware he has seemslike the next major step in healthpreservation.

The shotgun hunt will be a quickseries of tests at one time to checkfor tuberculosis, diabetes, anemia,some kinds of cancer, and heartdiseases. It will take from 15 to30 minutes.

At present such hunts are madeseparately, like firing single bul-lets.- These hunts find thousands ofpeople who have the disease whichis being sought. These are sent totheir physicians for early treatmentthat they may save lives.

Tying the tests together, in a shot-gun approach, was described to theAmerican Public Health associationby Dr. Lester Breslow, chief of thechronic disease service, Californiastate department of public health.

Even a simple battery of testscould probably spot 20 to 25 peoplewith an unsuspected, significantdisease out of each 1,000 examined,he said.

The first trial with multiple testswas made in San Jose, Calif., on945 workers in four industries. Eachgot a chest X-ray, blood test andurinalysis. It took 15 minutes foreach worker.

Thirteen were found to have un-suspected tuberculosis, diabetes, ordiseases of the heart, blood vessels,or kidneys. "Another 16 were foundto have diseases that had been diag-nosed before. However, some ofthese persons had stopped gettingtreatments.

Agronomist Claims AmorloaGould Feed 200 Millions

MILWAUKEE.—According to oneexport in the field, America hasnothing to worry about in the mat-ter of feeding its rapidly-increasingpopulation. Firman E. Bear, re-tiring president of the Americansociety of agronomy, said that thisnation can easily feed a populationof 200 million.

"We need have no fear whateverof any lack of capacity to feed our-selves permanently in accordancewith our desires," he said. 'Con-tinuing, he pointed out, "all wehave to do is make continuing useof the abundant resources at ourcommand."

To step up food producing for anestimated 200 million persons bythe year 2,000, Bear said the nationcould:

Irrigate from 23 to 31 millionacres of arid and semiarid land,perhaps using distilled sea waterfor some projects.

Drain 18 million acres of swamps.Increase yields per acre af corn,

wheat and other crops by use offertilizers, chemical insect killersand disease control and bettervarieties.

Increase soil conservation.Increase milk production by use

of artificial insemination and ofhormones to stimulate conception,mammary development and milksecretion.

Raise the annual fish catch by50 per cent by the construction offish ponds and tripling their yieldof 200 pounds per acre with propermanagement.

Use more efficiently the ener-gies of the sun, water and atom.

New York—A strong protestagainst the manufacture of thehydrogen bomb by -the UnitedStates is made in a statement is-sued by John Haynes Holmes,Minister Emeritus, CommunityChurch, New York; ClarencePickett, Secretary, AmericanFriends .Service Committee; PaulScherer, Professor, Union Theologi-cal Seminary, New York; KennethS. Latourette, Professor ,of Mis-sions, Yale University; FrankWright, Dean of School of Educa-tion, Washington University, St.

I Louis and 25 other leading Chris-tian theologians, ministers an.deducators. They express the beliefthat "the moral prestige of theUnited States suffered a heavyblow when by a unilateral decisionthis nation launched atomic war-ifare on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in1945" and warn that "the moralstanding of our country, especiallyamong the masses of Asia andAfrica, will be undermined almostbeyond repair if we now proceedby another unilateral decision tolaunch the terror of hydrogenbombs on the world."

The signers contend that "theatomic bomb did not bring safety"and the production of hydrogenbombs "can only represent afurther investment in insecurity."

Suggesting that "the stalematein which the negotiations betweenthe Soviet Union and the UnitedStates have long been stalled andthe suicidal armaments race . . .will not yield to ordinary measures"the statement declares that "forChristians and the Christian

j Church . . . the issue posed anew by' the hydrogen bomb is hot primarilywhether the United States can af-ford to run the physical risk ofbeing subjected to atomic warfare,but whether it can afford thespiritual risk of slaughtering otherpeoples in atomic warfare, of losingits soul in the hope—probablyvain—of saving its skin."

Memorial Post, VFWSponsors Party atThe County Home

Under the direction of Mrs. C. S.Auten, chapter chairman of theJunior Bed Cross of Tuscola Coun-ty, another party and entertain-ment was provided for the residentsof the County Home and Hospitalon Monday evening, Feb. 6.

The party was promoted andsponsored by the Cass CityMemorial Post of the Veterans ofForeign Wars -under the guidanceof Post Commander Irving Parsch.The Wixson Club of Caro, verygenerously, provided cakes insufficient quantity to serve allresidents and the entertainers. TheWixson Club was represented byMrs. M. B. Gibbs and Mrs. D.Stamats of Caro.

A nice variety of entertainment,provided by residents of Cass Cityand adjacent territory, was greatlyenjoyed by the residents of theHome and Hospital.

Stuart Gildart of Caro tookseveral snap shots of the party.

The entertainment consisted ofthe Shabbona Methodist Churchmale quartet with Alex Lindsay,Jr., 1st tenor; Eoy Severance, 2ndtenor; Ralph Smith, 1st bass; and

Mary Ellen Baker,Holcomb, Jane Hunt

Maurice Caister, 2nd bass. Thequartet was accompanied by EuniceSmith.

Morris Hochberg renderedseveral numbers on his accordion.

Miss Cecelia Brown, vocalist ofthe Cass City High School GleeClub, sang several numbers, v andMiss Jeanette Parker with herbaritone horn also entertained.

Girls' quartet from the CassCity High School, consisting of j

Marjorie jand Joan

Holmberg, accompanied by RogerParrish at the piano, sang severalsongs.

George Goddard of Cass Cityintroduced an innovation in musicalinstruments when he played severalpieces on a pair of teaspoons. Yes,believe it or not, a pair of spoons,a pair of hands and a leg, produceda rare type of music much en-joyed by all assembled.

Mrs. Ella Vance recited severalpieces of original poetry whichwere a howling scream.

Virginia Strickland, pianist,rendered a selection which took theresidents back many and many ayear, "I'm Drifting Back to Dream-land." One resident remarked, "thisreminded me of my childhood, whenI sat upon my mother's knee."

Maurice Taylor, member of theCass City Post, was master of cere-monies.

Have you a teen-aged boy or girlin your family? Do they drive thefamily auto? If so, stop—right now—and ask them to join you in look-ing at the above sketch.

Ask your son or daughter howthey'd feel if they were in the placeof the boy in the sketch—looking attwo cars which have collided—andknowing that he is responsible forthe accident—the damage—and theinjury to the passengers riding inthese cars?

They don't like the idea, do they?And neither do you. But it couldhappen to your /aw%-—-and it will,unless each one of you resolves todrive safely and carefully every dayin the year.

Youngsters like to "show off"—they think its fun to "let 'er out" tothe fastest possible speed. But theboy in the sketch has learned thatactually it's no fun at all. The veryfirst time of showing off might bethe last time for anything at all!

Talk it over with your children.Make sure that they understandwhy driving caution is so necessary.Make sure they realize the need forevery driving rule—and obey everyrule.

Don't put off a discussion of safedriving with your children. Do itnow—it may save a life!

The Want Ads Never Speak, ButHundreds Answer Them!

Michigan Mirror ELMWOOD

By Gene AllemanWhen President Truman and

Governor Williams ask for in-creased government spending atWashington and Lansing, " theiractions fit logically—as we see it—into an interesting cycle of con-temporary history.

It's plain arithmetic in part.And yet it is as illusive as a

magician's r'abbit or Alice inWonderland.

We refer to that little understoodthing called inflation.

Every dollar you saved in 1939and put in the bank, or into de-fense bonds, or an insurance an-nuity or anything else in fact, isnot worth a 1939 dollar today. It isworth only 59 cents.

"What happened to the other 41cents?" you ask.

Well, part of that might beconsidered to be a tax we paid topreserve our freedom. The govern-ment—and that means all of us—spent money freely to win therecent war. And war is utterlydestructive. It destroys materialwealth as well as human lives. Itled us inevitably to a staggeringnational debt, now at 257 billions.

Part of'the 41 cents may be saidto be due also to postwar treasurydeficits caused, in part at least, bysocial reforms—public housing, forexample, whereby we, the govern-ment, agree to subsidize rents oflow income workers.

Mrs. W. C. Morse visited Mrs.j Perry Livingston on Friday after-'noon.

Mrs. J. Kennedy visited Mrs.Harold Evans on Wednesday.

Mr. and Mrs. John Winchesterare the proud 'parents of a babyboy, who will answer to the nameof Maurice Carl.

Mr. and Mrs. Merritt Allen anddaughters and Mr. and Mrs. Ken-neth Russell and daughters wereFriday evening visitors of Mr. andMrs. Floyd Dodge.

Mr. and Mrs. Ezra Kelly of De-troit spent the week end visitingrelatives in our neighborhood,spending Sunday visiting Mrs.Kelly's father, A. S. Evans, who isnot very well at this writing.

Mrs. Kenneth Russell waspleasantly surprised on Wednesdayevening when a group of relativesand friends gathered to help hercelebrate her birthday.

Sunday visitors at the HaroldEvans home included Mr. and Mrs.Walter Bork of Bay City and Mrs.E. B. Corporon of Reno, Nevado.

Mr. and Mrs. Clayton O'Dell andfamily and Mr. and Mrs. Don Grif-fin and family »spent the week endin northern Michigan.

"Will we get more inflation inthe future?"

Roger Babson, • the notedconomist, thinks we will.This would mean that our 1939

dollar, instead of being worth 59cents, might go down to 50 or 25and even a lower sum. At 50 cents,your 1939 savings will be worthone-half. You would need $2 to buythe same goods that a 1939 dollarwould have purchased. At 25 centsyour income would have to be fourtimes that of 1939 to come outven!

* * *In a recent statement far the

United Press Mr. Babson saysthat more inflation depends on twothings: Whether we have a WorldWar III and whether our freemterprise system is preserved with

its attendant high living standards?or American workers.

It is significant that about three-quarters of the proposed nationalbudget for 1951 is earmarked "topay the cost of past wars" and toprovide insurance in form ofmilitary preparations, against thedanger of wars to come.

* * *"What is the annual cost today

of our wars?"Approximately $31 BILLION

dollars, as follow: National de-fense, $13.5 to $14 billions (de-pending on expenditures or ap-propriations); foreign aid as-sistance, $4 billions; and veterans'programs and interest on the wardebt, $12 billions. The remainderconsists of more than $800 millionsfor atomic bombs, merchant marinesubsidy and' other indirect nationaldefense benefits.

* * *There is little doubt that a third

world war, with its frightful wasteof human resources as well as ma-terial wealth, would push the 59cent dollar down still more. Con-tinual treasury deficits at Wash-ington, regardless of the cause,would have the same economic ef-fect.

Hence the prediction that theaverage American family may havean annual income of $12,000 by theyear 2000—another 50 years infact—is not fantastic. That is ifwe get mixed up again in anotherglobal conflict or if we continuedown the road to socialism.

As we see it, either of thesecauses would have the same ulti-mate effect.

The plight of all governments—federal, state and local—today isdue primarily to postwar currencyinflation (the 59 cent dollar) andsecondarily to an emotional beliefthat we are entitled to a "betterworld" as compensation for ourwartime sacrifices. It is this latterurge, when coupled with a desirefor individual and national security,that produces the so-called "swingto the left" right into the hands ofthe bureaucrats. The state becomesthe false hope of salvation.

Inflation is another hidden tax.It takes money away from every-one.

And yet, like the magician'srabbit, it is extremely illusive—hard to believe, hard to grasp.

If more cents are taken from thedollar, due to socialist spending ordue to another war, Huey Long's"every man a king" will not be farfetched. We will have a king-sizeincome and king-size prices as wellas a king-size debt.

NEW YORK.—How would yourother worries compare if you hadto worry about the eating habits ofeight million people?

That's a thought for women whothink they have it tough feeding

I the family. Mrs. Frances Gannon isthe lady who has the job of advis-ing eight million people how tokeep eating without going broke.

She is director of consumers'service and research for the NewYork city department of markets,which means she keeps an ear tothe supermarket floor in order toa d v i s e housewives properly onfood buying.

With a staff of 17, she sees thatthe world's largest city is fed—both well and economically.

She runs a marketing service,taking reports from food inspec-tors w h o make daily rounds ofwholesale-food markets, checkingprices, quality and supply, and re-laying the reports over the cityradio station and through newspa-pers.

It's down-to-earth, practical talkon selecting, preparing and caringfor food; trends in wholesale pro-duce and fish markets, plus low-cost menu suggestions and evenrecipes.

The idea sprang from the de-pression, according to Mrs. Gan-non, when New York markets wereglutted with food and the city de-cided the best way to hold downwaste was to educate the house-wife.

Judge Assigns U.S. MarshalsTo Serve as 'Baby-Sitters'

LEXINGTON,'*KY. — It isn'toften that fe.deral men of anysort are stumped by any assign-ment, but some U. S. deputymarshals here must have casta wry eye at Judge H. ChurchFord.

At first the court session lookedpretty routine to two deputies.Then it happened. A mother,charged with using the mails todefraud, came into the court-room carrying a baby. Then hersister, who faced t h e samecharge, also entered with asmall baby in her arms.

Baby-sitting '-asks were givenDeputies Charles Webb and Gen-eral Fugate while Judge Fordheard the cases and placed bothwomen on probation.

Psychological TestMEXICO CITY.—Today's profes-

sional soldier is a much biggerproblem to the army psychologistthan was the doughboy of 1914-1918.While his wa'rtime problems weregrowing, the folks back homelearned to take war in their stride.

These were conclusions in a re-port -on "war* phychoses" by Dr. J.Paraire, medical commander atVal-De-Grace h o s p i t a l , Paris,France, which was read here be-fore an international congress onmilitary medicine and pharmacy.

Dr. Paraire said that not onlywere the mental difficulties of themodern soldier more complex, butthere were more of them. He saidthere were three times as manysoldiers in World War II as inWorld War I, and 10 times as manywere in hospitals with nervous com-Pi~,•»,-(.«J.CtJ.IJLi/3.

"The second world war shows thecurious result of an increase ofmental disorders among armiesand a decrease among the civilpopulation," he added.

Comparing the two wars, the dif-ference in the , type of nervoustroubles is striking. The Frenchspecialist asserted that hysteriaand amnesia (forgetting who oneis) had just about disappeared. "Inthe thousands of sick returningfrom the fronts we have not founda single 'traveler without bag-gage,'" he reported.

The modern soldier's troublestend more to show themselves inurinary upsets and disorders in th««sexual organs. Dr. Paraire saidthis increase in complexity repre-sented "a step in human evolution."

Contraband in a Ooffinisn't Always a Corpse

SHANGHAI — Smuggling is sorampant in Shanghai that a codefor coffin control has been promul-gated by the security bureau ofthe people's government.

Tradition says when a Chinesedies his body should be shipped tothe ancient family burial ground,

| no matter how remote from the! place of death. Some families can-not afford to send the coffins home,but there is a heavy traffic in cof-

I ins nevertheless.Apparently the custom has been

used by some for Trojan horse tac-tics or smuggling contraband.Henceforth, permits must be ob-tained to move coffins either with-in the city or to more distant points.Also a reputable person now mustissue a "shop guarantee" to insure

| the shipper's fulfillment of regula-tions.

The order said that after threeviolations an undertaker would berequired to suspend business. Theorder also said that the police hadbeen ordered to make a thoroughinspection of all coffins at highwayexits a n d harbor embarkationpoints,

Michigan's state government re-ceived $506.4 million in its variousoperating funds in 1948-49 to fi-nance the various programs whichthe state undertakes, according toa study just completed by theBureau of Governmental Research,Detroit.

Such receipts were 67 percentgreater than those the 'state re-ceived in 1945-46.

Seventy-two per cent of thestate's revenues this past fiscalyear came from taxes—such as thesales tax, cigarette tax, corporationtax, gasoline tax, weight tax,intangibles tax and many others.

* * *Revenue from state enterprises,

regulatory services, patients andconvicts and miscellaneous sourcesaccounted for 14 per cent of thetotal.

The remaining 14 .per cent camefrom Washington in the form of"grants-in-aid" to help financethose programs which Congress hasdecided at one time or another thatthe state or local units shouldundertake.

* * *With the exception of the

charges that the state makes forcertain services, all its revenuescome from taxes—direct or indi-rect—levied upon all of us asindividuals, consumers or business-men. In most instances the taxmoney goes to Lansing.

But $73.1 million comes toLansing via Washington. Thatmoney, nevertheless, is from thepockets of Michigan taxpayers.

* * *Michigan state government paid

to its local units of government61.2 per cent of its total revenuesin 1948-49. Most of this "aid"came direct from Lansing—havingbeen raised by statewide taxes. Buta portion of such aid was funneledthrough Lansing from Washingtonto the local units of government.During the past four years wellover one-half of the state'srevenues are distributed back tolocal units.

<,. 3£ % %

Local units of government—cities, villages, townships, schooldistricts, counties and other specialdistricts—and many citizens some-times forget that this money whichis "given" them by the state cancome from only one source—TAXES.

TAXES regardless of whatgovernment collects them or whichone in the final analysis receivesthem to expend are paid by all ofus who receive an income.

Every dollar spent by' govern-ment is a dollar the citizen doesnot have to spend for himself at hisown choice.

BENNY got a big kick out ofeavesdropping on the sheriff.

It smacked of adventure and thewild life he loved. He got a biggerkick when he heard Sheriff Conradmention Slick Dearborn.

Slick Dearborn was the smartestoutlaw with whom Conrad had ever

had to contendHe was Benny'sidol, for he repre-sented the danger-ous freedom ofwhich t h e boy

had always dreamed. One daythree weeks ago Benny had seenSlick in the Faraway Saloon, andsomething about the worshipfullook in the youngster's eyes hadattracted the outlaw's -attention.

Benny had been almost speechlesswith gratitude when the outlawspoke to him. They Mad a long con-versation, and when it was overBenny knew a sense of importancethat was almost the fulfillment ofhis dreams.

Ear glued to the side of thebuilding. Benny held his breathwhile Sheriff Conrad and hisdeputy, Joe Hicks, carried ontheir low-voiced conversation.At 4 o'clock that afternoon Benny

drew rein in the secret canyonwhere Slick was hiding. He gavethe secret whistle that he and theoutlaw had agreed upon, -then wait-ed breathlessly.

Minutes passed and nothing hap-pened. Benny moved down the can-yon a ways and whistled again. Sud-denly two men emerged from be-hind a boulder. One of them wasSlick Dearborn. Benny shouted atthem.

"Slick, I just heard the sheriffand his deputy talkin'. They foundout it was you who held up thebank last week, an' they knowyou're hidin' up here an' they'recomin' to get yuh."

"You come with us," said Slickshortly.

"Nemmine keepin* gtiard,"Slick called, and the other out-law slid back to the ground."We gotta get out of here andgit fast. Kid, did anyone seeyou leave town?""No, sir. Not a soul. I done jest

like you told me.""Good. You're comin' with us."The second outlaw came from be-

hind a screen of bushes riding onehorse and leading another. Slickswung aboard the extra animal.

There came the sound of a shot.T h e second outlaw uttered ascream, clutched at his breast and

plunged from the saddle. A secondshot followed, and Slick's mountwent to its knees.

SLICK SWORE VIOLENTLY asBenny crawled up beside him.

"You damned little rat! Thoughtyou said nobody followed you outof town?"

"Honest Slick—""Shut up!" Suddenly Slick seized

him around the middle and leapedout of plairi view of the two com-ing' up the canyon. The pair reinedin, holding their fire as the .out-law, using Benny as a shield, beganshooting rapidly.

Sheriff Conrad and Joe Hicks,sensing the bandit's purpose, flungthemselves from the saddle andscurried for shelter.

Benny suddenly understood thepurpose he was serving, suddenlyknew that Slick was using him asa means of protecting his ownhide.

"Slick! Slick! Lemme go. They'llblast me down in cold blood!"

"Shut up, you rat" Slick broughtthe barrel of his gun down crush-ingly on the boy's head. Bennygasped, struggled feebly, then wentlimp . . .

When Benny, opened his eyeshe found Sheriff Conrad andJoe Hicks bending over him."Feeling better kid?""Ye-e-ss. I'm all right. Where's

—Slick?""Taken care of." Sheriff Conrad

eyed Benny intently. "Listen, Ben-ny, you better get home before yourmaw begins to worry. You can sayyou helped us run down Slick Dear-born. Fact is, you did. When wesaw you talkin' with him threeweeks ago we figured somethin'like this, which is why we did sometalkin' so you could lead us towhere he was."

"Gosh!" said Benny. There weretears in his eyes. For the first timein his life he realized what a per-fectly swell guy Sheriff Conrad was

Sterling HarrisTo Head CountyRed Cross Drive

Sterling Harris, manager of theGamble's Store in Caro, has con-sented to be fund and membershipchairman of the Tuscola CountyChapter of the American Eed Crossfor 1950, according to an announce-ment made by chapter chairman,Lewis Garner, of Vassar.

Having been co-chairman of the1949 fund drive, Mr. Harris willbring to the 1950 drive, which willbe conducted during the month ofMarch, the valuable experiencegained last year.

To assure a successful fund andmembership drive in the county in1950, Mr. Harris will introducemany innovations of an educationalnature. To start the solicitors offfull of vim and vigor, he hassecured the promise of cooperationfrom a Tuscola County residentwho is an ex G. I., who had the mis-fortune to be taken as a prisonerof war by the Germans, and whowas compelled to work in the coalmines and endure untold hardships,suffering, and privations. This ex-G. I. will tell his story at a massmeeting of all workers. He will tellthem what the American Red Crossdid for him and what it meant to

him while-a German prisoner ofwar. He will also relate what thecounty chapter has done to assisthim in, his problem of rehabilitationto a useful civilian life. He will alsobe available to the solicitors formass meetngs if the campaign bogsdown and the fund raising begins toget tough.

Mr. Harris also wants to dispelthe mistaken thoughts or beliefs ofpeople that the funds contributedto the Eed Cross may not beproperly expended. He feels thatwidespread publicity in the raising,allocation, expending, and ac-counting of the funds is necessaryto offset the remarks made by someoverzealous solicitors in otherrecent county fund raising cam-paigns, who insinuated that thebooks of the Red Cross are notaudited nor subject to an audit. Hewants it emphasized, all statementsmade to the contrary notwith-standing, that all expendituresmade by the local chapter are madeonly after being voted by the coun-ty committee, that the books of thecounty chapter treasurer areaudited once a year by a competentauditor, who is in no way connectedwith the Red Cross. After the localaudit, the books and the report ofaudits of each county chapter arethen subjected to a review and athorough analysis by a representa-tive of the Area Red Cross Officelocated in St. Louis, Mo.

The books of the National Red'Cross are audited by a nationallyknown firm of auditors and finallysubjected to a review by the

military who are acting as repre-sentatives of the United Statesgovernment. A report of the na-tional audit is on file in each localchapter office and is available toexamination and inspection by anyindividual who might desire to seethe same.

Mr. Harris feels that this proce-dure and these requirements, asestablished by the board ofgovernors of the American RedCross and the United Statesgovernment, assures the contrib-uting public that their contributionsare properly allocated, expended,and accounted for, to the same de-gree that depositors of banks areassured that their deposits arefully protected, as hanks mustmeet the requirements of state andnational laws and regulations.

Is American Public School Education Worth the Cost?

• Ira Dean McCoy. M.D.According to figures released by the

United States Office of Education, theschool population of the United Statesis again increasing; by 1954 the elemen-tary schools will have added another2,000,000 children to the rolls. Since theoutbreak of World War II, Americanpublic schools and equipment have de-teriorated markedly. Nearly 6,000schools have been closed because teach-ers were not available, and, in 1947,75,000 school aged children received noformal education whatsoever.

Confronted with startling facts likethese, The National Education Associ-ation and many well-meaning friends ofeducation cry for more money for edu-cation: more money to build riew build-ings, and more pay for teachers.

The statement that democracy can-not function without a literate edu-cated electorate is true. However, theachievements of education cannot bemeasured in terms of money alone, de-spite the attempts of many people todo so. The question at hand is whetherthe public education now offered Ameri-can school children is first of all ade-quate, and, secondly, whether it isworth what it costs the taxpayers today.

For more than seventy years, thecost of American public school educa-tion has been increasing. Requirementsfor the teaching profession have gradu-ally stiffened; better and more expens-ive school buildings have been pro-vided; additional services have beenincluded in the educational process;more children have been kept in schoolfor more years. However, during thatseventy years, life expectancy has in-creased over fifteen years and thecountry has made scientific progress un-paralleled in its history. Education, ofcourse, is the backbone of progress.

The disinterested observer cannotavoid the conclusion that many of thedifficulties faced by the public schoolsare not financial, but rather the resultsof various erroneous concepts of theeducational process. In our materialisticcivilization, it was to be expected thatemphasis would fall on bigger and moreelaborate school buildings.

As early as 1930, the total value ofthe property and endowments of thepublic schools was estimated at morethan six billion dollars! In many com-munities the school building has becomea show-place, proof that locality X hasmore social standing than locality Z.In some communities more is spent forjanitorial service in the schools than forteachers' salaries. This does not meanhat clean, well-kept buildings are not

IRA DEAN McCOY, M. D.

important, but an over emphasis onappearance has added thousands of un-necessary dollars to the cost of Ameri-can education.

_ Criticism of our enormous gymna-siums, lighted athletic fields, swimmingpools, etc. has been made but it must beremembered these investments servethe adult population as well. This isproper for the more we progress scien-tifically the more leisure we have andthe more and better play grounds wehave, the less will be our delinquency.A tired young body does not hunt mis-chief.

Because education and the construc-tion of school buildings is a publicfunction, educational problems havebecome increasingly involved with pol-itics. This has nowhere been more evi-dent than in the construction of schoolbuildings, where graft and corruptiontake a substantial cut in the total ap-propriations. When additional schoolappropriations are spent for politicalgraft, the educational system of theUnited States gains exactly nothing. Itseems that graft too often creeps intopublic enterprises; but Michigan, withfew exceptions, has had little graft inconstruction for educational purposes.

The constant stiffening of require-ments for the teaching profession hasalso increased the cost of education inthe United States and the difficultiesinvolved in finding and holding ade-quate teachers. Unthinkingly, Ameri-cans have accepted the maxim: themore training the better teacher, with-out examining very closely the qualityof the training or its purpose. In someteachers' colleges as many as 41 semes-ter hours are devoted to courses inteaching techniques and educationaltheories. One third of the entire tinder-graduate work is thus devoted to tech-nical study, and only two-thirds to thesubject matter which the prospectiveteacher will teach her pupils in the daysto come. Other teachers' training schoolsdevote half their time to professionalcourses and only half to study in liberalarts. Young graduates of liberal artscolleges with excellent background inmathematics, history, or literature areforced to attend teachers' colleges forfrom 6 to 16 hours of credits in "edu-cation" before they may qualify forteaching.

It cannot be denied that educationappears to most Americans as theavenue to social and vocational success.A college degree does not guarantee toanyone either social or financial success,but the process of obtaining a collegedegree opens to an individual new waysof life and creates better and greateraspirations. "That for which we desire,we strive for arid that which we strivefor we usually get."

It is said vocational agricultural train-ing is given to students in the Dustbowl,who race for Chicago the moment theyare through school. True, but for everyboy who is trained in the field of voca-tional agriculture and leaves for a jobin the city, hundreds are coming backdisillusioned to the farm to become suc-cessful farmers.

The belief that a good educationalsystem requires attendance by all stu-dents in some kind of school until theyare 16 or 17 years of age has developed,In too many cities.and states, teen-ageboys and girls are forced to remain inhigh school even though it is obvious totheir teachers, themselves, and thecommunity that they are unable and orunwilling to master a high school edu-cation. Their continuance in school be-yond the point where it benefits them is

expensive for the community and cre-ates a difficult problem for the teacherand the school that must cope withthem.

This, belief is based purely on thedollar and cents involved in education,It is true some children do not profit,by a formal education, but a ratherlarge percentage of these children arefrom destitute or broken families andwhile the school does not have the com-plete answer it is true many of thesechildren do adjust themselves and be-come valuable citizens.

Educators have constantly expandedthe meaning of "education" as it appliesto the public school system. No longerare the schools primarily concernedwith the three "R's"; moire and moreschool time is taken up by vocationaland recreational facilities designed tomake America's youth "better citi-zens." Those who belieye that the pres-ent educational system is worth the cost,belieye that it is the Job of the schoolto give complete citizenship trainingand moral guidance to its pupils.STANDARDS OF CONDUCT, OFETHICS, AND OF MORAL ANDRELIGIOUS JUDGMENTS IN ADEMOCRACY ARE MORE PROP-ERLY THE CONCERN OF THEHOME AND OF THE CHURCH.If these institutions are failing in theirduties, how can some people assumethat the schools can carry the burden?Teachers are after all human beings,like parents and churchmen, and theyare no better' qualified to carry theburden of inculcating moral standards.Schools must teach history and citizen-ship, yes, but further than this it isdifficult for them to go, in spite of thesize of school appropriations.

Basic to the argument is the problemof the proper function of the school.The teaching of the fundamentals—reading, writing, spelling, and arith-metic—is a prime function of the schoolsystem, a vital part of making literatecitizens. Nevertheless, a shocking per-centage of grammar school graduatesare deficient in spelling and writing, andare unfamiliar with the commonplacemultiplication tables. High school gradu-ates with a smattering of world history,economics, and sociology are unable tohandle the English language and lacksufficient simple arithmetic for evenroutine clerical work.

One must remember in reading thisarticle the writer is a physician—not aneducator. I have attempted to list someof the complaints I hear from taxpayersin Michigan. My personal feeling is thateducation in Michigan is deep in theblack side of the ledger and tho' thereare some imperfections in the whole, agreat job is being done. When taxeshurt, let us remember we spend morefor liquor or tobacco than we do oneducation. It does seem to me, however,that some system should be evolved inwhich the non-property holders couldbe made to pay a share of our schooltax.

In spite of alleged wastes, educationis a good financial investment. Most ofour homes are owned by people whohave gone through high school and veryfew people own life insurance policieswho have not at least completed a highschool education.

Does education pay? Close all ourschools, place all our teachers and edu-cators in concentration camps, bumour text books and in three or four gen-erations we shall be well on our wayback to the type of life that existed inAmerica when our forefathers first ar-rived.

Minister Wets FeetAs Plane BreaksThrough Thin Ice

A Remus flier and his clergy-man passenger narrowly escapeddrowning when their taxiing planebroke through thin ice on Horse-head Lake Tuesday, dunking thepair in the frigid water 150 yardsfrom shore.

The pilot, Patrick ,Sehiffer, 24,manager of the Remus airport, saidhe landed on the northern end ofHorsehead Lake in Martiny Town-ship to show the Rev. John Bullock,36, who was graduated from CassCity High School in 1932 and isnow pastor of Remus MethodistChurch, "how nicely the shipwould taxi on the ice."

Their landing was without mis-hap, Mr. Bullock told StateTrooper William France andSheriff Howard L. Soper, and theytaxied southeast toward thecenter of the lake.

"Everything went all right,"Schiffer related, "until I heard theice cracking under the plane. I said'We've got to get out of here,' andI poured the gas to her. Then theice broke and the ship plunged intothe water."

Rev. Bullock, who "just got myfeet wet," was the first to leav#the plane. He pulled the pilot tosafety, but not before Schiffer was"wet to the chest."

The struts on the airplane'swings rested on firmer ice andkept the c'raft from sinking.

Schiffer and Rev. Mr. Bullockmade their way precariously acrossthe thin ice and borrowed an auto-mobile from a party of fishermento drive to their homes.

Later, Schiffer returned to theplane and attached a rope to it toserve as a marker in case it sankcompletely. The aircraft is ownedby the Remus Flying Club, of whichMr. Bullock is a member.

Will Present Lesson,"Living Together inThe Family"

Mrs. Lennah K. Backus, exten-sion specialist in parent educationand child development, will be inTuscola County February 23 and24. She will present the lesson,"Living Together in the Family,"for the leaders of women's exten-sion groups.

Most everyone would agree, saysMrs. Backus, that we need morehappiness in families today. Al-though we lack a measuring stickwhich would give an idea of justhow happy families are, we knowthat many do experience a greatdeal of happiness in their relation-ships together. We know also thatother families fail to find anydeep or lasting satisfactions.

Of course it is easier to be happyif one enjoys good health and canbuy his fair share of comforts andconveniences. But one may possessthese benefits and lack the peaceand serenity that comes from livinghappily together. .Strain and ten-sion, anger or worry prevent usfrom getting the most out of life.

Many unpleasant situations infamily living can be prevented ifwe will but plan for harmony aswe plan for other routines in fam-ily living. Having a plan for livinghappily together, having a con-structive attitude if the.plan failsto work, can do much to improverelationships in our homes.
