Richardson Rice, who is the associate Director of the Meth- odist Children's Home, Society, discussed some of the problems and methods of dealitg with them, that the parents of children are likely to meet.

Lieutenant Peterson told -of her experiences, and explained the shuttle system which is used to transport wounded service men to their homes. She spoke of the splendid spirit and morale of the boys, and pointed out that the greatest blow to the morale of the lad in uniform is when he feels, that by strikes and black market the folks back home are letting him down. She empha- sized that the returning veteran must never become the forgotten man, that his welfare must be the responsibility of every citizen; that they do not want sympathy or welfare, but just understand- ing and a fair deal. She told how plastic surgery is repairing many of the injuries so perfectly that not even a scar remains. Mrs. Robert W. Loucks was elected chairman of the Rosedale Gardens Womens Club, and was presented with the keys by the retiring chairman Mrs. Ernest Bentley.

Vol. 5, No. 38 Wednesday, November 8, 1944 No Licenses For 400 VI'olators Nearly 400 persons whose nam- es appear on a conservation de- partment list are denied hunter privileges for periods ranging from one to five years. These are individuals whose careless use of firearms has re- sulted in death or injury to oth- ers, who have suffered self-in- flictedwounds, or who have been convicted of game law violations or infractions of gun -handling regulations. Names of 19 persons have been added to the list since the open- ing of the small game season Oc- tober 15. Seven of these have been responsible for injuries to others, four have wounded them- selves. The list will be swelled considerably as courts move to revoke other licenses. Thirteen persons were wounded fatally, 55 others suffered non-fatal wounds during the first 10 days of the season. Hunting accidents which result in death or injury to others bring denial of hunting privileges for five-year periods. Courts are no more lenient with persons who wound themselves. Game law violations, or careless use of fire- arms, are grounds for canceling hunting privileges for periods ranging from one to five years. Sixty-seven of the 385 persons whose names appear on the list have s u f f e r e d self-inflicted wounds.

A new chapter was born— the Rosedale 'Gardens chapter— the 22nd chapter in Michigan—and for the first part of 1944 enjoyed a normal growth.. From the 38 mem- bers then enrolled, a chorus of 20 men, four end men and an in- Ilerlocutor played the Shrt �e, thine and Shampoo Minstrels to racked houses in Rosedale Gar- uens, Plymouth and Garden City or six nights. Apart from this :Minstrel show, there was little other activity except meetings held every two weeks. In the late spring, it was voted �o hold no meetings during the summer inonths.. The. first meeting of the fall was held on Friday, September 23. Hereafter, meetings will be held on the fourth Friday of each month. Now, this chapter is open to all white males with melody in their souls—that is, all males who can get to the Community House in Rosedale Gardens on -the fourth Friday of the month, and the only conditions for membership are these: the man must, like to sing Barber Shop Harmony in quartet or chorus or he must like to liear rarber Shop Harmony, whether he can sing or not. Here is an interestin pr f act 1 about the society.

What onions! ! Once again John Guideau of l the Briar Ridge farm on east Six Mile road has demonstrated the fact that a man can accomplish near -miracles if he puts his hear into the task and is willing to, work at it. Last year and, the year before Mr. Guideau on a sandy loam farm produced an onion crop that amazed his neighbors and friends. His crop of sweet Spanish on- ions, was probably one of the best produced in the entire state. This year he has excelled all previous years. There isn't an onion on his whole place that isn't as lbig as a grape fruit. It simply goes to show what a man can do who will study soil condition:, and the care of the crop he intends to produce. No one ever believed that the Briar Ridge farm could be turned into one lof the most productive onion farms in Michigan --but that is just what has happened in a few brief years. Re -Education of Germany Is Subject Sigrid Schultz, former Director; of the Berlin Bureau of the Chi- cago Tribune, will speak on the "Re-education of Germany" at Detroit Town Hall in the Fisher Theatre, Wednesday morning, November 8, at 11 o'clock. From the first, this brilliant correspondent warned the world of the inherent danger of the Nazi movement. As the head of a large news staff, she watched the Nazis rise to power. She knew Georing, Goebbels, Himmler, even Hitler, covering many historic events in Central Europe. When World War I broke out, Sigrid Schultz and family were in Germany. Illness made it impos- sible for her to leave, so she re- mained in the Reich until after the Armistice, returning to Amer- ica to act as assistant to Richard Henry Little of the Chicago Tri- bune. In 1925 she succeeded to the position of Director of the Tri- bune's Central European Bureau in Berlin, where she remained for sixteen years. On leave now from the paper, the newswoman has just compl.e -- ed a new book, "They'll Try It Again." Frequently heard on na- tional radio programs, the author- itative views of Sigrid Schultz are eagerly awaited. Reservations for the lecture may be obtained at Grinnell's Music House, Ra. 1124, or at the Fisher Theatre on the morning of the talk. �k Few plays have been present- ed more realisticallLy than The Count of Monte Crisco as .t i staged on Chateau d'If, an island off Marseille, where the fiction- al Dantes spent twenty years in a dungeon. The performance3 are given in the real prison court- yard, and when the convicted hero arrives there a curtain is drawn aside and the audience sees him led to the actual door- mentioned oormentioned in the novel. Later, when Dantes escapes by taking the place of the deal abbot, a heavy sack that is supposed to contain his body is hurled from a turret into the sea. U. S. Army Major Peter J. Cascio points out the Empire State build - ink to Italian prisoners of war on a guided tour of New York. The Italian war prisoners are from Camp Shanks. 'Dori f Hunt Fr'o'm . Seat Of Tractor Shooting of birds or other game from the seat of a tractor -drawn corn binder or other mechanical- ly driven farm implement is an unlawful method of hunting, the conservation department empha- sizes. Farm implements are class- ed with automobiles, airplanes, floating devices or other contri- vances "propelled by or using as motive power, steam, gas, naph- tha, oil, gasoline, or electricity," in the meaning of the law. The point is raised because a boy recently wounded himself in atempting to bag a pheasant from a bucking tractor seat. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things !which are seen were not made of things which do appear.—He- brews 11:3. In 1925, an American mili.on- aire paid $500,000 for a 12th.- ,cn,ury monastery in Segovia, Spain, and probably spent an- trer $9,00,0,00 in building a -iew menastery to replace it and in : et ting the old one packed in ;rates and transported to the United States. The first step of the transferring job was the con- struction of a narrow-gauge rail- road to move the crates to a line connected, with a seaport. Never bothering to re -erect the monas- tery, the man sold it last yEor for $19,000, or about one fiftieth of its cost.

This is the state- ment made recently by Dr. W d - ham DeKitene, Commissioner of Health for Michigan. This state- ment is borne out by the in- crease noted in the out -county area of Wayne County. Up to October 6th there had been 33 cases reported this year. Within the last few weeks other cases have occurred. The most recent one being a child 18 months of age. _ The Wayne Uuunty Department of health considers this a criti- cal condition and calls the atten- tion of parents to the fact that aiphtheria is a disease which can be prevented. All chiiaren when they reach the age of nine months should be protected against the dangers of this dis- ease by being given two doses of diphtheria toxoid one month apart. Parents should have their family physician administer the toxoid. This should be followed in six months by a Schick test to determine if the child has been rendered immune by the two dos- es of toxoid already given . Following this immunization of the child before it is one year old, when the child reaches school age, another Schick test should be given to see if it still retains immunity against the di- sease. At this time, if the test shows the child to have lost the immunity, another single dose of toxoid should be given. This will re-establish immunity and pro- tect against contracting the di- sease. If this procedure was car- ried - out .by the parents of all children, in a very short time diphtheria would cease to be a problem in any community. Due to the present incidence of diphtheria in the out -county area of Wayne county, the County De- partment of health urges all par- ents in this area who have chil- dren between the ages of nine months and 11 years who have not been already- protected against this disease, to have their physi- cian give the necessary two doses of toxoid and so ensure their pro- tection against contracting this very dangerous disease.

The Northville hunter declares .hat within the vicinity of Plym- outh and Northville, the destruc- tive work of the fox is almost beyond belief. Mr. hall, wino spends much of his time during the summers operating the Brae Burn golf course over south of Salem, says that he discovered a fox den near this golf course during the summer and that at the time he found it there were the remains of 16 pheasants, two chickens, two domestic ducks, one goose and a small pig lying on the ground outside the den. That reflects the destructive work of probably not over two weeks of just one den of foxes, he said. Recently he returned from an inspection trip to a farm in Oge- maw county. There he was advis- ed by farmers that one fox will disipa►sq of an average of 350 I artridge during one summer season.

When a hurricane churned out of the sea and swept up the Atlantic seaboard a few weeks ago, The Detroit Edison Company rushed help to Connecticut and Long Island. Power lines had been torn down, poles uprooted, electric service disrupted. Edison crews, consisting of a dozen men with two trucks and complete equipment, were sent. INSIDE STORY . , The Detroit Edison Company main- tains an "X-ray" that looks inside wooden poles to discover the invisible beginnings of decay —for the half - million wood poles that support our lines must be structurally sound. Incidentally, the start of decay is postponed and the life of poles extended by chemically treating the poles.

Reports to date show that more deer have been counted in recent weeks than were seen a year ago in 34 of the 54 counties in which the animals may be le- gally hunted with guns. The cen- sus began July 1 and countinues through October and final tabula- tion of officers' reports is not made until after November 1. As is the case during any deer season, weather conditions will largely determine the size of the kill. SHOE REPAMING Expert Work Frc `s Shoe R*pt 11151 bta.rk Rd., % Blk.
