A Reminder to Detroit

WELCOME to North Woodward suburban residents
w is the recent decision of the state highway depart
ment to install mast-arm auxiliary traffic signals at 10
Woodward avenue intersections between Eight and
Twelve-Mile roads.
The timing devices will be synchronized to favor
heavy flow of southboun traffic during the morning
rush and to facilitate north-bound traffic in the
evening rush periods according to Highway Commissioner
Donald Kennedy.
This sadly needed traffic improvement one of our
most heavily travelled arteral highways should be
reminder to Detroit traffic authorities
Detroits traffic lights obsolete and poorly syn
chronzed and in most cases difficult for motorists
because they tucked away street corners.
Detroit needs completely and modern
traffic lighting system with properly continuous synchro
nzaons and the lights hung high overhead the
of intersections where they will be readily
This will cost lots of money. But Detroit can't make
a better traffic investment.

Music for Defense

TWO closely-unted Detroit groups which have shown
L themselves enthusiastic in Americas defense effort
are the United Music Operators Association and the
United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of
America (CIO).
It was they who put the patriotic recording Any
Bonds Today" in the No. ] spot every automatic
coin music machine in Michigan. SO impressed was
Secretary of the Treasury Henry Mogenhau Jr that he
has spread the plan all over the country
Now these two groups have joined with the RCA-
Victor Corporation to further promote the sale of defense
bonds and stamps.
On the afternoon Of November 8. Detroiters will be
able TO dance at Masonic Temple to Tommy Dorsey and
Shep Fields and their famous orchestras merely by show
ing a 25-cent defense stamp at the door.
Our hats are off to them
They have shown good way to national unity-a
way which others may follow.

Could Stop
Strikes
BY GEO. ROTHWELL BROWN

WASHINGTON, Oct. IS. -
W Governor StaSSen Of MIN
nesota is stalking the wrong
horse when he apeals 10 the
American Federation of Labor
for less stoppages Of defense
production. "
The horse that Governor Stas-
sen should stalk is in the White
House.
The strike situation in our Vi
tai defense industries is far
graver than most people mag
inc. The number of strikes in
progress at the present time is
almost double that of year
ago.
The man-dayS being lost by
these "StoppageS of production
is appalling. The United States
cannot whip Hitler so long As
organized labor puts the ag-
grandlzement of its own power
ahead of the national welfare.

Dor is in slavery TO the German
masters.
THERE are at least two bills
Il pending before the House
judiciary committee upon which
hearings, which attracted little
newspaper attention, have been
held.
One Of these bills, sponsored
by Representative Walter OF
Pennsylvania, would lcgalize the
Injunction as a method for CIV
ing every victim OF strike the
right to go into court and OBJ
tam a restraining order.
The Injunction has always
been bitterly fought by organ
lied labor. Conservative House
members who are deeply con-
cerned over the labor disturb
ances which are slowing down
defense production, understand
perfectly we'll that both the
AFL and the Go would fight
any bill 10 restrain the right TO
strike. however grave the ma
tional emergency might be
But they believe that such a
bill could be passed by the
House. Notwithstanding the OPP
position Of organized labor.

"To the tough, two-fisted men
 who built Grand Coulee to the
 30 men who gave their lives
 to them should go the real monu-
 ment for making the dream come
 true."
 dams is to read the history of DOW CT and reclamation development of this generation. Grand Coulee, Boulder, Shasta, Norris, Wheeler, Imperial, Seminole. Fourteen monu- mental structures costing from $5,- 100000 to 100000 ,000 each plus 55 others ranging in cost from one to five million. Add to this hundreds of small diversion dams, hundreds of canals and thousands of struc- lures on irrigation projects, ranging up to the $38,000, ,000 American canal on the Mexican border, larg- est ever built in this country.
 A Wisconsin boy, born in little Cooksville, a graduate of the state university in Madison, who took his first job with the government back in 1903, he'll be retiring soon. En- gineers know him, all over the world. Unfortunately, people in general don't.
 STICKLER FOR
 SPECIFICATIONS
 It is Frank Banks, originally from Saco, Maine, a graduate of Univer- Sity of Maine who has had the job of seeing that the plans Jack Sav- age drew were carried out. Now 58, Banks took his first government job 35 years ago as rodman on the Lower Yellowstone project in Mon- tana. He has been in government service ever since, working Up, be- coming construction engineer on the American Falls Dam in Idaho In 1917 and bossing jobs for the gov- ernment ever since. He's an admin istrator, a stickler for specifications. a tough man for contractor to get around.
 As a reward for his job at Grand Coulee, Frank Banks has been made Acting Administrator of the whole Bonneville project, of which Grand Coulee Is but one part.
 From Banks and Savage on down to the camp cooks and dishwashers | was the army of 1000 men of all trades and crafts, who did the work It has been tough and dangerous work. Perhaps fifty men have been killed in accidents, which is an ex- cellent safety record, considering the size of the job, the number of men. the length of time.
 To the bulldozers, the cat jockeys, the greasers, the welders, the dy- namiters, the mixers, the drillers, the triggers, the roustabouts and all ! the other tough, two-fisted men who built Grand Coulee and will move on to other jobs--to the 50 men who 1 gave their lives in the effort--to them should go the real monument for making the dream come true.
