Pa" TWO _ 7= LAVIDN"n _ Wednesday, May 16, 1945 Plymouth Soldier Visits Prison Camp Calls It a Big Slaughter House "The best name for it is a, slaughter house within a murder camp" is the way Corporal Char- les Olson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Olson, aescribes one of the German concentration camps he recently visited in Germany alter its capture by the American forces. The youthful soldier in a letter home, says that words cannot de- scribe the horror of it all. His letter follows: "Here I am again today after a day of rest. I am just fine and hope this finds all at home well too. 'I took a bath today in my hel- met so you can imagine what that is like. I heated the water in a metal pitcher with a blow torch. I got most of the dirt off anyway. Then I didn't have any clean un- der clothes so 1 mot some of the Germans new clothes' and put them on; a white undershirt and a pair of navy blue sport shorts. "1 visited a concentration camp this afternoon and that sure was a horrible sight. All the stories about them are the truth. and if anything, they are worse than described. "There are prisoners in there of all nationalities and a lot of them are nothing but skin and bones. Some are so weak they can hardly walk. Theme are nothing but skele- tons. "Their barracks are poor and the bunks are one on top of another and three and four high, set end to end. "They had poor food and very little of it too. They have one lit- tle building in there which is enclosed by a board fence. "The best name for it is a slaughter house within a murder camp. The first thing that caught our eyes was a pile of bodies stacked up like cord wood. More skin and bones and a horrible sight. When we went inside we found five crematory furnaces with parts of bodies still in them not all burned up. "In the cellar they finished off a lot of them and had an eleva- tor to take them upstairs to be cremated. I've never seen any- thing to compare with it and hope never to see the likes of it again. But I know it is the trutl for I saw it with my own eyes. This was the German prison camp for those who were against the Nazi rule. ,,well, it is time to hit the bed as tomorrow probably won't be a rest day." Smoke units are ready at any time of day or night to throw a protective screen around the im- mense dock areas of Antwerp. Mobile generators (made in Mich- igan) as well as stationary smoke pots are used in emergencyareas. A dense cloud of artificial fog which blankets' miles of busy docks can be established wita 5 to 7 minutes. Approximately a million dollars a day, or $30;000;00.0 a month, is being spent by the Army for lum- ber. This does not include lumber bought by -contractors for use by the military forces. About half of the total amount of lumber pro- duced is now required for ship- ping. Brake Emphasis Program Shows Good Results While most motorists in Plym- outh and vicinity have good to excellent brakes, the brake -check program being conducted by the police shows that far too many drivers have a blind faith in brakes which can't stop in time, according to Chief of Police Lee A. Sackett. During the first two weeks of the brake -check program, 59 cars have been checked by the police with seven cars failing to meet requirements, or about 12 per cent. Ten service stations and gar- ages working in cooperation with the police in the drive reported 127 cars were overhauled, includ- ing adjustment, relining, bake drums, new and turned down. This is a 25 per cent in- crease in brake work over the first three months of the year. There also has been a 75 per cent increase in general re- pair work. In April there were five acci- dents. Three failed to signal, one ignored a stop sign on a through highway and one made a wide right turn. This was a decrease of two accidents from the record of April 1944. "While most motorists contact- ed by the police appreciate the urgency of conserving their cars, many do not seem to realize that their cars must not only last for the duration of the war but for two or three additional years," Chief Sackett said. The brake -check is applied to cars involved in moving traffic violations and in accidents, also to cars operated in a manner indi- cating unsafe brakes. "This is not a blanket check of all cars," Sackett said, "yet You'll Save Money on HARDWARE items If you trade with the Le J.

"Brakes usually rose their effi- ciency over a period of time. arnce brakes lose their power gradually, many arivers ao not realize how ba•a they really are. The brake -check program is be- ing conaucted by the police of i-lymouth as a part of the nation- wide program of the -international Association of Chiefs of Police. While the emphasis is on tht urgency of having good brakes, u is hoped by police officers that the program will focus the atten- tion of all drivers on car conser- vation, * I Adult Education Series lay I6-1 The thirteenth annual Adult, Education Institute sponsored by. the Extension Service of the Uni- versity of Michigan and Michigan' State Federation of Women's' Clubs will take place on Wed- nesday and Thursday, May 16 and 17.

Iwo Jima emphasizes the need for continued heavy munitions cutput. That island had a power- ful working over even before the 800 ships of the invading force launched their attack. It had been hit by bombers of the Army Air Forces for 70 days in succession. Three days before D -Day our bat- tleships, cruisers and destroyers pounded the island with Naval gun fire. Each day thereafter thousands of tons of 16 -inch, 14 - inch, 8 -inch, 6 -inch and 5 -inch shells were poured into its de- fenses. Even the 40 mm. antiair- craft guns were emploved against the shore line. The escort carriers put on air strikes with torpedo planes, dive bombers and rockets, sometimes as many as 20 missions a day. In spite of that the Japs survived in sufficient numbers to make Iwo Jima one of the blood- iest of battles. * BUY WAR BONDS 'Learn to Ride `1 MILE RIDING CLUB" 28004 W. 7 Mile Rd.

That his methods of culti- vation result in beautiful blooms was evidenced by the Koda- chrome slides that he had taken, manv of them in his own garden. Mr. Warner showed sequences of a single rose developing from a tightly closed bud to the beauty of the completely opened flower.

Since Thomas Edison's first lamp bulb, with its crude carbon filament and inef- ficiency, the progress in "squeezing more light" from lamps has been spectacular. Langmuir's development of a process for making tungsten filaments brought triple efficiency to electric lamps. That efficiency was in turn doubled by filling the bulbs with an inert gas —making a six -fold increase over the yellowish light of Edison's first lamp. Other less spectacular improve- ments have also added to the efficiency of electric lamps, so that today, measured in terms of money, the cost of the light used annually in the United States in our homes would be four billion dollars more if it were furnished by the old carbon lamp.

The Government's pro- gram to save coal by conserving electricity has achieved worthwhile results—but we cannot relax our efforts. Every ton of coal saved now will be needed to tide us over next winter. To give you an idea of how much coal is burned in making electricity, consider this fact: The coal needed to supply just one Edison power plant for a year would fill a train 99 miles long!

There was a total of 336 children whose parents were in- terested in having them tested to determine whether they had ever been exposed to the infection of tuberculosis. The tuberculin test does not de- termine the presence of active tu- berculosis, its object is to find Brut whether the person tested has been exposed to active infection at some time, to such a degree as to have the products of the infecting organism in the body of the individual. If the test is posi- tive, an x-ray examination is nec- essary to determine the presence or absence of active tuberculosis. The presence of a positive tu- berculin test in a young child, shows that the exposure has peen relatively recent, so it is Import- ant to check on all family and ira- j mediate contacts in such cases. The following are the number of children of the various grades who were tested: Eighth graders: 58 tested, 9 positive; seventh graders, 53 test- ed, 9 positive; First graders, 85 tested, 1 positive; Beginners, 81 tested, 7 positive; Pre-school, 59 tested, 3 positiv-. A total of 336 children were tested and of these 29 gave posi- tive reactions. In addition to the children test- ed, there were 20 adults who were tested and ten of these were posi- tive. This program was arranged and carried out cooperatively by the Livonia Township Health Guild, Livonia Consolidated Schools and the Wayne County Department of Health. Dr. L. M. Hotchkiss of Livonia was the physician in charge. "FAIR SEX PARTY." The ladies of Stark district are having a card party Friday, May 18 at 8 p.m. at Stark school.

"He is tall, looks much like his mother and seemed to be a real' fellow, just as common as the rest of us. We were all glad to meet him. His visit was a sur- prise, but we were pleased to have him on our boat if only for'i a short time" added the Plym- outh navyman.

Those whicn will come up for hnai passage at the next meeting will change the west side of Forest avenue, be- tween Wing and Ann Arbor frail, from residential Class B to commercial, and a small part of Mill street, south of and adjacent to the Toledo division of the Pere Mar- quette, from Class B to local business. The ordinances referred back would have changed the west side of Mill street, from Amelia to Ann Arbor Trail, and one lot, on the corner of Park drive and Mill, from Residence Class B to local business, and the lots facing btarkweather, from Pearl street north to the city limits, from B to local business. A public hearing was set for May 21 on the proposals to con- struct curbs and gutters on Lin- coln, between Sheridan and Ann Arbor Trail; Division, between Mill and Starkweather, and the north part of Adams. Dr. Luther Peck, city health officer, reported that alleys in the city were in good con- dition and said there were fewer dogs running loose in Plymouth than he had seen at any time in his 41 years here. He strongly recommended the , odemnation of the apartments < goo North Mill, owned by An - ,my A. Trupis, of Detroit. The .fi(ding is a firetrap, he said, and _� mould be closed to occupancy. He .aired the commission to act. JDr. Peck also reported that 11ymouth had three births and eve deaths during the month of April. The commission also issued an i.;ivitation to the civics class of tine High School to take over the Christian experience teaches faith in the right and disbelief in tha wrong. It bids us work the more earnestly in times of perse- cution, because then our labor is more needed.—Mary Baker Eddy. It may serve as a coilifor. to us in all our calamities and afflic- tions, that he who loses anything and gets wisdom by it, :s a gainer by the loss.—L'Estrarge. I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. — Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Tae least snow ineasurea ac any weather station in ii%iichigan in 1944 was mu inches, recorded at Mount Clemens, Macomb County. If we are not secretly yearning and openly striving for the ac- complishment of all we ask, our prayers are "vain repetitions," such as the heathen use. being of all more and more tht business of each; it binds all clov- er and closer together in bonds from which none can escape. — Henry George. From present indications the Germans will continue to fight indefinitely — at least some of them. The importance of main- taining war production and guard- ing against any let -down cannot be emphasized too strongly. Japan undoubtedly is counting upon 6. relaxation in America's war effort after Germany is defeated. The duration of the war against Japas, may, therefore, depend on the way we meet this challenge. If industrial output falls off the ef- fect will be to prolong the war against Japan at great cost of American lives as well as money. See first that the design is wise !' and just: that ascertained, r.ur- sue it resolutely; do not for onel repulse forego the purpose that, you resolved to effect.—ShakLs- peare. By and large, bird movements' are regular from year to year. This is particularly true of the arrival and departure of the main body of a species, which rarely vary more than five or six days either way from the average date. Twelve Typical M-18 Tank de-' stroyers have travelled 2,000 miles each without a breakdown. The spark plugs were changed once, the only repairs necessary to date. These tank destroyers were in ac- tion all the way. Naval aircraft carriers now have, five types of airplanes — the Chance Vought "Corsair," the Grumman "Hellcat," and the Eas- tern Aircraft "Wildcat" as fighter planes; the Curtiss "Helldiver" as a dive bomber; and the Eastern Aircraft "Avenger" as a torpedo bomber. Automatic transmissions, suen as powered automobiles in peace- time, are used in the Navy's new- est amphibious vehicle, the LVT or "Beach Buster." These trans- missions eliminate "feeling for the beach." Coming upon obstacles, the transmission shifts to the re- quired gear ratio without atten- tion from the driver. The trans- mission is produced in Michigan. So is the `Beach Buster" itself, which is made both in Kalamazco and in Detroit. Engines for the "Beach Buster" are standard auto- mobile engines with minor changes. tOP! CAN YOU?
