These books are full of crime

good. Just short time ago a
father found his young SON dead
with strap around his neck and
a copy of a comic book in his
hand Children are bound TO
initiate these characters and l
think it us up to the parents TO
destroy such books. and in every
way possible stop the sale of
them.
If good books were written
for a small sum giving the life
of men like Will Rogers and
Knute Rockne, the children
would buy and read them and
initiate their good qualities just
as they do the present books.
We never had baby bandits

a daily occurrence To read Of
robberies and other terrible
crimes by children not yet in
their teens.

about this soon.

How to Stop Fires
Fire ranks with crime on the states Public Enemy

list"
Those are the words of Arnold c. Renner chief of
the State Police fire marshal division following compre
hensive survey throughout the state.
Carelessness and neglect for the most part were re-
sponsibe for the majority of Michigans 37257 fires last
year which destroyed than $10,0000OO worth OF
property and took the lives of 267 persons and injured
hundreds of others Among the injured were fe5 remen
At little you help slash the terrific cost of
property damage and lives by:
Keeping matches away from children - an oft
repeated warning responsible for $40 fires;
Checking the wiring in your home and in your car;
Repairing defective chimneys and roofs which to-
gether last year. resulted in 6 100 fires.
Keeping rubbish and grass fires under control;
Checking electrical appliances, furnace and stove
pipes

troit. Two and one-half years
ago my wife and l were married
on a Shoe-String.
For the next year and a half
we had really tough shedding,
what with my being able TO get
only odd jobs, and a child on
the way.
We were thrown from pillar

naturally we accumulated debts.
We were without funds and
without a home.
Last November ! obtained a
iOb and I've worked steadily
ever since. This Summer we
attempted TO get into one of our
local housing projects. We were
told that our salary exceeded
the low income bracket by $40 a
month.
Yes, we earn $50 week, but
how many debts can we pay If
we have 10 put out S45 or $50
a month for rent, not including
heat, light and gas?
How can we hope to save
enough so we can buy our own
belongings and home in order
that we won't have TO live in
furnished apartments the rest
of our lives?
The projects take care of the
lower income brackets. The
upper income brackets can al
ford to take care of themselves.
But what is to become of the
struggling young couples who
are in the middle income brack-
cts and are attempting TO pay
their debts, save money for the
future. and establish their
credit?
Certainly som o provision
should be made for them, or
rents should be better adjusted.

America Must Act Quickly
To Preserve Her Freedom
BY DOROTHY THOMPSON

WAYS has occurred in each ma
tion.s when it saw it was not
next on the line.
We are talking, talking end
ieSSiy debating whether or not
this is our war. We are APP
pfepfiating huge SUMS. But
appropriations won't win a war.
Hitler did not appropriate
money; he appropriated goods -
training. clothing and arms, for
100000 men; Siegfried Lines
and military highways; planes
and tanks; huge reserves of oil
and metals; millions for inter-
national propaganda.
We have appropriated Sl3.-
000.000,000 in lend-lease aid. But
Hitler spent S40,00O,OO0,000 be-
fore he moved a soldier or gun.
Germany is a tiny country,
compared with the whole earth
"a small country compared
with all Europe with a good
industrial equipment mot rs
good as America s-and limited
law materials
But she has conquered the
whole industrial equipment of
Europe, and is driving Russia
back into Asia. entering lhe
richest part of that huge union.
4 THOUGH 90 per cent of
a the people are not neutral.
and our policy is not and could
not be neutral, we still have
neutrality law on our books.
Although we are in imminent
danger from the Axis, and from
the Axis alone, Axis propaganda
is introduced into every domeS-
tic debate. and those who oppose
it are denounced by the Wheel
erS and NyeS as, British propa-
gandiStS.
This is moral confusion more
dangerous than lack of arms.
For il prevents us from getting
the arms! 1t justifies unions TO
call strikes. 1t keeps the gov
eminent trying TO mobilize pub
lie opinion instead or forging
weapons. 1t permits partisan
feeling 10 run riot
Don't the people Of the United
States know that Hitler has
openly boosted that he will bring
down America by an inside Job
Don't the people Of America
ever ask. Who is conducting
that inside Job?
Motives are not important in
the life of a nation Senator
Wheeler's policy, not his charac-
ter. is what is at issue. and the
question; Is that policy helping
America to become stronger or
