Drain Official
Moves Here
Among the new residents who
have recently purchased homes
and moved to this locality are
County Drain Commissioner
George and Mrs. Dingman of De-
troit and their grandchildren.
Mr. Dingman early last spring
purchased a home and three acres
at 42365 Schoolcraft road, the lo-
cation being directly at the end
of Bradner road and a short dis-
tance south of the Harry Robinson
residence. The property is known
as the former Crider place.
Three of their four grandchil-
dren have resided with Mr. and
Mrs. Dingman since the death of
their mother a number of years

ago. Miss Pat is the only one at
home at present, the elder sister
having married sometime ago and
the two boys being in the armed
forces overseas.
The county drain commissioner
has always been a good booster
for this part of Wayne county
and it is not surprising that he
has decided to make his home in
this locality.
Felicity E. Stevens has complet-
ed her hospital basic training and
has now received her rating as
T5 with corporal rank. She is
assigned to Percy Jones hospital
as medical technician. Her broth-
er Harold is in the 1st Division

through the Okinawa campaign.

Robert G. Mish, manager of the
Social Security Board office at
1,4246 Michigan Ave., Dearborn,
announced"today that during "So-
cial Security Week"—August 12-

hope that as many people as pos-
sible avail themselves of this op-

that all can acquaint themselves
with the provisions and the pro-
tection they and their families are
receiving under the Social Secur-
ity act. Interesting and informa-
tive movies portraying how So-
cial Security operates will be
shown each evening.
Persons unable to visit the

cial Security Board representative

ning at 11 a.m.

As a concession to the belief of
one man, the ;writer Stewart Ed-
ward White, the last three editions
of Who's Who in America have
deliberately omitted a fact in his
ketch, the death of his wife in
1939, the first "inaccuracy" per=
;pitted in the some 465,000 biogra-
phies published in this book in 46
years. Mr. White does not consid-
er his wife dead, because he con-
tinues to feel her presence and
writes his books with her colla-
boration. His conviction is based
on the fact that, when alive, Betty
White developed -psychic powers
and often communicated with the
other world.

Operate At Sea
on Plymouth Boy
A giant American troop ship'
loaded with returning veterans,
was stopped in mid -ocean so that
a Plymouth boy, Milton Curtis,'
serving with the merchant ma-
rine, could be taken from a
freighter, and operated upon for a
sudden attack of appendicitis.
Following is an Associated Press
news item sent out from New
York city about the event:
The army discolsed Monday that
the transport John Ericcson rec-
ently interrupted its troop shut-
tling duties long enough to bring
medical aid to a stricken sailor
from Plymouth. Mich.
Maj. Abraham Kramer, surgeon
on the Ericcson, recounted how
he received a distress call from
the freighter James Cameron re-
porting that Milton Curtis, 18, a
merchant marine cook, of Plym-
outh, had been stricken with acute
appendicitis.
The Ericcson and its 7,562 GI
passengers sped to the side of the
Cameron and the sick youth was
transferred in a launch to the
Army vessel.
There, Maj. Kramer performed
the operation.
Curtis, who was in sick bay as
the vesel docked at New York
city Monday, said he was "feeling
fine now" and was going to Plym-
outh "to marry my girl."
Milton is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Leslie Curtis of 5543 Curtis
road. He enlisted in the merchant
,marine last March when he was
17 .years of age.
During the past three years
before he entered the armed forc-
es he made his home with his
brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and
Mrs. Cleo Curtis of 219 Elizabeth
street.
He had been employed in the
Terry bakery and attending the
Plymouth high school. He has a
number of other brothers and sis-
ters residing here, two of his
brothers being in the armed forc-

His relatives are hoping that he

During the 19th century, when
io ship was equipped with wire-
ess, only about 35 of the 35,000
ocean-going vessels that were
vrecked and sunk vanished with
)ut leaving a trace.
The famous Anglo-American
painter, John Singer Sargent, who
died in 1925, neglected to sign
some of his works and even for-
got, years later, ever having paint-
ed them. But he could easily iden-
tify these pictures in a unique
way. If a painting was his, a mi-
croscope would reveal a fine red
or green line painted around the
white objects because, owing to
an eye defect, he saw, them bor-
dered in one of these colors.

Gladiolus Expert
Plans for Show
Plymouth will have a powerful
entry, as usual, in the 14th an-
nual Southeastern MicLigan Gla-
diolus Show, in Detroit, next Sat-
urday and Sunday, Aug. 18 and 19.
Seeking his fifth major trophy
will be Sach Holmes, of 41390
Joy road, a director of the South-
eastern Michigan Gladiolus So-
ciety, which sponsors the show.
The show will ae held in the
Chrysler Detroit Co. Woodward
avenue showroom, at 5925 Wood-
ward avenue. Admission is free.
At least 50 exhibitors are ex-
pected from all over Michigan,
Ohio and Canada. A total of 56
had exhibits last year.
Holmes, who also is vice-
president of the Michigan
Gladiolus Society and a mem-
ber of several other gladiolus
and horticultural groups, won
the single 'spike championship
at the Midwest Gladiolus So-
ciety show in 1941, at Chi-
cago, and repeated in 1942,
at LaPorte, Ind.
He also took the single spike
title at the 1942 show of the
Southeastern Michigan Gladiolus
Society and in 1941 got a medal
from the Canadian Gladiolus So-
ciety for having the best spike of
Canadian origin in the Southeast-
ern, Michigan show.
Holmes said he expects to con-
centrate on the single spike and
three spike color classes, al-
though he hopes to enter as many
classes as ,possible. It all depends
on what is blooming at the time
of the show.
The recent dry spell hurt,
he said, but he's hopeful that
the rains of the last week-
end will help bring them up
to the proper condition.
A war worker in the Ford
Rouge aircraft engine plant,
Holmes raises gladiolus as a
hobby—which also pays off as he
sells quite a lot of his product to
commercial florists.
"It's an expensive hobby," he
says, "one which has to help pay
for itself."
He also serves as a judge at
the shows.
Youths Present
Play Aug. 15-17
Something different, something
new is the cry that goes up from
all community groups when seek-
ing entertainment, and the Saixt
Michael's Youth Organization be-
lieve they have found just that
in "His Name Was Aunt Nellie."
Written by Andrew Jameson,
this new play is a side-splitting
farce, and tells what happens
when Aunt Nellie, a gay old lady,
comes to live with her prim New
England relatives, the Baldwins.
The play, which is being coach-
ed by Wm. La Forte, is now in re-
hearsal and will be presented at
Saint Michael's Hall in Rosedale
Gardens on August 15 and 17,
Wednesday and Friday evenings
at 8 o'clock.
While the Hinlus of India con-
stitute only 12 per cent of the
world's population, they use 14 (or
64 per cent) of die world's 22
calendars.
A N IMPORTANT MESSAGE
FOR THOSE WHO ARE WAITING
FOR TELEPHONES
WITH the war in Europe over, many people assume that there
is ample telephone equipment to fill civilian orders. We wish
that were true, but ...
The factories that build telephone instruments and make
wire and cable still are working practically full time on the
communication needs of our fighters in the Pacific.
Even after we begin to receive the materials and equipment
we need, it may take as long as two years before telephones can
be installed generally without delay.
We will have to construct thousands of miles of wire and
cable. Scores of central offices will have to be built or en-
larged. Switchboards will have to be assembled and connected
into the system, requiring billions of hand -soldered connections.
.All of this is slow, painstaking work that can't be speeded up
by production -line methods.
In the first five post-war years, Michigan Bell plans a
$120,000,000 expansion and improvement program which will
enable us to supply service anywhere, at any time. Now, orders
can be filled promptly only for telephones essential to the
war, or to the public health, welfare or security. Others will be
filled in their proper turn as present users give up service.
If you are waiting, we appreciate your patience and under-
standing. We promise to provide you with service just as quickly
as possible.

How Retailers Cpl. Robert Egge would land at their base for a
stop -over on their way home and
Satisfv Patrons Home on Visit that it wasn't at all unusual to
find the personnel of the base in. -
Members of the Plymouth Ro-
tary club last Friday noon heard
an interesting talk by one of its
own members pertaining to the
various methods and policies used
by retailers in maintaining friend-
ly relations with both satisfied and
dissatisfied customers.
While the old rule that "the
customer is always" right, does
not prevail as extensively as most
people believe, still the practice of
retailers in taking losses in or-
der to satisfy customers who may
be dissatisfied is most general.
"Whether it pays in the long
run or not, I don't believe any one
has ever figured it out. But at any
rate it is the easiest and most
satisfactory method" said Mr.
Blyton.
The speaker talked from long
experience in dealing with the
public. All of his mature years
have been spent in retailing work
in both big and little stores as
well as cities.
The most remarkable soprano
voice ever known was that of Lu-
crezia Agujari (1743-1783), an Ital-
ian operatic star. She had a three -
octave range above middle C, or
an octave more than the average
soprano.

base was former Northville police
chief, Lt. Col. Richard Loomis
and according to Bob the men
under his command had much
time to fish for salmon and trout
which were in abundance in the
lakes near their headquarters.
Skiing became the favorite win-
ter sport for the men and in
their leisure hours many of them
became very procient in that
sport.
After his three weeks in Plym-
outh, Bob will return to the base
in Newfoundland.
