We rambled through East

Writer Bob Coffee, who was
unable to cover the South Ma

What impressed us particular
ly was the tremendous amount
of building going on right now
in East Detroit. Directly across
from the Monitors bureau office
in that city a huge building is
under construction that will
house Cunningham's Drug, Kin
zel's, Warehouse Market, Saund-
ers' Bakery and Winkelman's.
Only saw one real familiar
face yesterday and that be-
longs to genial Charlie Retz-
laff, the prosperous barrister.
Charlie was breaking bread in
East Detroit's most sumptuous
hamburger joint when we
glimpsed him. All Of which
reminds us that the South Ma
comb city has too few suit

Publicity Man
Finds Best Yarn
in Backyard

eHOLLYWOOD, Sept. 18-(R
Joe Alvin's job is to publicize
National Broadcasting Com
pany's stars. But he found to-
days best story in his own back
yard.
Joe and Mrs. Alvin have been
talking of buying chickens for
their ranch at nearby Van Mugs.
Yesterday Mrs. Alvin heard a
startled cackling in her yard. In
vestigating, she found their
three dogs-Splinter, a terrier;
Sassy, a Az month old collie,
and Dicky, q Doberman Pin
scher-playing with Rhode Is
land red hen.
She placed the hen in a pen
until she could locate the owner.
Splinter, Sassy and Dicky
looked very, very disappointed
at losing their playmate. Then
they disappeared.
Soon, Mrs. Alvin heard an
other startled cackle. In the
yard, Splinter, Sassy and Dicky
were playing with another hen.
Mrs. Alvin put it in the pen with
the other chicken.
