Refreshments will be served by outh and other cities as the order of the President that all 4Fs under
the men. the age of 38 must immediately secure jobs in some industry essen-

The order provides that any man, no matter what his handicaps
might be, if under 38 years, of age and not working. at some busi-
ness which is of aid to the war effort, must seek immediate employ-
ment in some industry 'helping the war.
If any one in this group quits his present job, he must report
to the United States employment office and to his local draft board
immediately.
Many who have been employed in industrial and business places
not regarded as essential to the war, have already gone into some of
the local war plants or made application for ,positions.
Meanwhile at the Kelsey -Hayes machine gun plant in Plymouth
experienced women war workers are being laid off and they report
that they are unable to secure positions elsewhere.

One of the great needs in barns
on many Michigan farms is larg-
er mangers, maintains Carl F.
Huffman, of the dairy depart- j
ment of Michigan State college.'
By this he means that many dairy
farmers are overlooking a good
method of producing milk cheap-
ly—that of feeding large quant-
ities of roughage.
Some mangers dust aren't big
enough to hold all the roughage
that a cow should eat, and others
are big enough but don't get
enough hay into them, he in-
sists.
The buying of protein supple-
ments can be avoided almost en-
tirely by feeding plenty of high
quality alfalfa or alfalfa-brome
hay, Huffman points out. By
high quality, he means hay that
has been early cut, if leafy, high
in color and of good aroma.
Hay can vary from 300 to 400
per cent in its milk -making cap -

roughage per day from October)

that amount come out of the'.
barn in better health, give more
milk, and give better results on
spring and summer pasture.
Only a minimum of grain is
necessary for cows fed with good
roughage, and millions of dollars
worth of feed could be saved by
this practice, Huffman says.
The log cabin is not native to
America and it was unknown to',

those at Jamestown and Plym-

was introduced by the Swedes
who founded their first settlement

SYNTHETIC RUBBER. How does synthetic rubber com-
pare with natural rubber? Will it be "put on the shelf"
as a discarded war emergency material when real
rubber is once more available? Not at all. Used in insu-
lation for wires and sheaths for cables, some synthetic
rubbers are better than the real thing. They are unaf-
fected by conditions which cause natural rubber to
deteriorate, our Research Laboratory finds. They do
not crack or check in sunlight or under exposure to
the ozone generated by some high-voltage electrical
equipment.

I tsp. vanilla 11/2 tsps. baking powaer
Beat the egg thoroughly, add the maple syrup, then the milk,
vanilla, melted shortening, and lastly the dry ingredients
sifted together. Beat thoroughly and bake about 45 minutes
in a moderate oven -375° F.—in a deep loaf -cake pan, pref-
erably of the tube variety. Frost with maple frosting and
decorate with halved walnuts or pecans, or sprinkle chopped
nuts over the frosting before it sets .ii

OUT OF MIND. Because house wiring is buried in the
walls, out of sight, it is usually "out of mind"—and little
understood. But don't think it isn't important! It carries
the "life blood" of the modern house—the flow of elec-
tricity. And just as a too -small pipe can lessen the flow
of water in your plumbing, so can a too -small wire
choke off the flow of electricity. Don't deny yourself
enjoyment of dozens of postwar electric appliances
because of inadequate house wiring. If you are plan-
ning a new home, be sure your wiring is large enough
to allow full use of tomorrow's electrical living.

The conservation commission is
expected to open several thousand

fall. The land has been bought as
part of a 100,000 -acre recreational
development that will serve large
downstate population centers.

proved purchases of nearly 15,000
acres, financed by a $3,000,000
rrant voted by the legislature last
.year. Postwar plans call for ex-
tensive development for recrea-
tional uses of acquired lands in a
At reaching from eastern Jack-
son county into Oakland county.
Such development will preclude
hunting in some areas eventually
but it is believed that hunting
can be permitted with safety until
facilities are provided for more
extensive recreational use of the
areas.
Less than a century ago, many
firms in the United States still
attempted to regulate the private
life of their employees, usually
forbidding them to drink, smoke,
attend a dance or theater or stay
out after 10 o'clock. As late as
1858 a well-known Chicago dry -
goods house even dismissed clerks
who associated with actors or
patronized barbershops.

Farm Machinery
Ceding Scarce
Contrary to the expectations of
many farmers, there is a good
chance that a definite scarcity
of farm machinery will exist for
the 1945 production season, ex-
tension agricultural engineers at
Michigan State college believe.
For this reason farmers are cau-
tioned against permitting any
old machine to go through the
winter into the busy season un-
repaired.
Optimism concerning the farm
machinery outlook became wide-
spread following recent announce-
ment of the lifting of the restric-
tions on the manufacturing of
machinery. There was a growing
belief that an abundance of new
machinery would become avail-
able next spring. As a result,
a slackening of old machine re-
pairing has become an epidemic.
But all old equipment will )
be needed, for it is expected that
the "lead time" (period neces-
sary from the time materials are
made available until machines
can be manufactured and placed
on market) that is necessary for
the production of many types of
equipment will probably pre-
vent any significant increase in
the quantity.
Labor and production facilities
will be utilized for manufacture
of such labor saving equipment
as corn pickers, side- delivery
rakes, pick-up balers and com-
bines. Production of repair parts
will remain at a high level in
1945, college agricultural engin-
eers have learned. Any parts
used in quantities in war pro-
duction will remain difficult to
obtain. These include engine and
electrical equipment parts.
Individuals today enjoy a com-
pensation for saving money that
may never come again in their
lifetime.
One of the most profitable rac-'
kets carried on in this country
during the past two years has
been the selling of Bibles with a
steel cover that, it was claimed,
will protect the heart of a soldier
from bullets or shrapnel if he car-
ries the book in his left breast
pocket. When this claim was test-
ed, however, the .38 -caliber bul-
lets' fired at those Bibles, at a dis-
tance of 15 feet, went clear
through them and lodged in the
planks an which they were fasten-
ed.
The 1945 legislature will be
asked to enact legislation prohi-
biting the use by hunters of auto-
matic or semi-automatic guns ca-
pable of firing more than seven
shots.

WHY
Michigan Bell
W"111 Go to Court
The Michigan Bell Telephone Company plans
to appeal to the Ingham Circuit Court for relief
from an order of the Michigan Public Service
Commission directing the company to refund
$3,500,000 to its customers. A permanent in-
junction will be sought to restrain the Commis-
sion from putting the order into effect.
We have no liking for litigation. It is a time-
consuming process that is as distasteful to the
company as it must be to the public.
An order that jeopardizes our ability to provide
good service by whittling away at our already
inadequate earnings, however, cannot go un-
challenged. The public interest impels us to
seek the protection of the courts.
The order is based upon the theory that excess
profits taxes should be returned to customers
rather than to the Federal Treasury as intended
by the tax law. One out of every five tax dollars
collected by the Treasury today comes from
excess profits taxes. In this case, the Govern-
ment would take a loss of $3,000,000.
Although the Federal Treasury would bear the
brunt of the loss involved in such a rebate, one-
seventh of the amount would come from the
company. The order for 1944, unless restrained,
could be repeated for 1945 and other years.
Such a whittling process takes on the aspect of
a permanent rate reduction to the jeopardy of
the service rendered the public.
If we are to take our place in the expanding na-
tional economy anticipated after the war, and
once again provide service on a basis of "when
and where wanted", the Michigan Bell must un-
dertake a postwar construction program requir-
ing the expenditure of $120,000,000 in 5 years.
That program will provide jobs not only for its
3,000 men and women returning from the armed
forces, but for many others as well.
The telephone industry has no royal road to
money to finance its postwar program. It must
compete with other industries in the open
market for capital. To attract the investor's
dollar, our earnings must be comparable with
the average for other industries—not at a rate
one-third lower, as is the case today.
The Michigan Bell has no desire to profit at
the expense of war. It hasn't. The company's
wartime earnings today are a quarter lower than
in the pre-war period, 1936-39.
The price of telephone service is one of the few
things that has not undergone a sharp wartime
rise. On the contrary, rate reductions since
1939 are resulting in current savings of nearly
$4,350,000 a year to our customers.
There is one thing our customers want, and that
is good service. The telephone bill for the best
of service is so small a part of the customer's
budget that he does not want anything less than
the best even though he might get it at a lower
cost.
For these reasons, we believe we're under the
strongest obligation to seek our day in court.
We believe our cause to be a just one in the
interest of those served by the company, those
who own it, and those who depend upon it
for their living.

Household Hint .
To make the house smell sweet
and clean, and to eliminate cooking
odors, colonial wives sprinkled a few
pinches of powdered cloves on a
small shovelful of burning coals
and carried it around the house.
Thermos Bottle
The world's largest and coldest

Midget Searchlight
A midget searchlight, no larger
than a walnut, yet so powerful that
it will project a 1500 -candlepower
beam for 60 nautical miles, is new
equipment for rubber rafts.
Sponge Useful
A sponge is useful for ironing or
pressing materials that need to be
dampened. Just rub the sponge over
the dry section. There will be no
trail of lint left.
Need Wool Care
Some drapery and upholstery
fabrics contain mohair from the
Angora goat. A few are made from
wool. Give such fabrics regular wool
care.

These pneumatic pants prevent U. S. fighter pilots from blacking
out in aerial maneuvers by applying pressure to the pilot's abdomen
and legs during a pullout or turn, preventing the blood from pooling
in the lower extremities and aiding the heart to maintain circulation
to the brain. They are inflated by lung power or by mechanical devices.
Many civilian accidents as well as military resulted from blacking out.
The new pneumatic pants will largely do away with the condition, often
fatal in war as well as peace.

Spoils Shape
Overstuffing your bag will spoil its
shape and weaken the fastenings
and seams, so carry only what you
really need in your purse. At sea-
son's end when you want to put your
handbag away, stuff crumpled tis-
sue paper inside the bag to hold its
shape and store in its own box. To
prevent tarnish to silver and eve-
m:\g bags, wrap them in black tis-
sue paper and keep in separate
boxes.
Finishing Facings
Ways of finishing facings differ
with the kind of material you have.
If your goods is cotton or some other
lightweight fabric, turn under the
edge of the seam allowance on the
facing about one -sixteenth inch,
then, stitch. If your goods is thick
or non -washable, finish facing by
trimming off the seam allowance
and stitching ribbon seam binding
flat along the edge. Or machine -
stitch along the edge and overcast.
