Ski.P|ane Pilot Saves
Two Adrift on Ice FI0e
BY the Associated Press.


ESCANABA, Mich, Jan. 20.-A
ski-equipped plane manned by a
Reserve officer in the Army Air
Corps rescued two commercial fish,
ermen adrift on huge ice foe in
Green Bay, an arm of Lake Mich
tgan, off Portage Point, yesterday.
The flyer, 1t. Walter Arntzen of
Escanaba, made light of his feat,
declaring it was mo trick at all" to
land his specially built plane on the
drifting ice and take off again with
his two passengers. The foe. he
said, was 2 miles long and about a
mile wide.
The fishermen, Earl johnson and
Hugo Lindquist, had been lifting
their nets through a hole in the
ice when the big foe broke loose
from shore.
An observer who saw their plight

Arntzen, who had gained consider

hospitals, took off on the rescue

stood by to go to the aid of the fish,

Rooney Appears as Pianist.

At the inaugural gala where the
best talent in the musical world
shared honors with the best of the
theater and screen, the surprise of
the program was the appearance
of versatile Mickey Rooney in the
role of pianist. Before he began his
approximations, he announced that
he would like to play his own Sym
phony." Expecting some more of
his clever stunts, the audience did
not take the announcement seri-
oltsly and were considerably aston
!shed as the number progressed to
find that here was a Well-trained
pianist playing, if not a symphony,
work which showed his proficiency
and serious musical background.
This was but one of the highly
entertaining numbers selected to
form the gala program. The OPEN
ing was properly assigned to the Ma
tfonal Symphony Orchestra, directed
by DR.. Hans Kinder, and the num-
Der chosen was the conductors ar

recorded. The broad, stately meas
ureS, given additional richness in
DR.. Kindler's version, made an i'm
pressive beginning and with the
charming Rise Stevens, mezzo-so-
prano of the Metropolitan Opera,
following, created an atmosphere of
artistry upheld throughout the eve
ming.
Miss Stevens warm, resonant voice
dominated the orchestral accom-
panlment in La Habanera" from
BlzetS Carmen" and a number
from StrauS' The Chocolate Sol
dier." The latter showed her voice
in its strength and range to the
best advantage and she was greeted
with prolonged applause. To Nelson
Eddy fell the greater part of the
musical program, the popular BARI
tone appearing twice, the first time
in excerpts from Bach's "The
Peasants Cantata" and later in a
group of songs, Martins The Crown

Eddy in Fine Voice.
The text of the selections from
Bach's lively cantata was particular
ly appropriate to the occasion and,
following one after the other with
only piano interlude by the ac-
companist, they formed a most at
tractive offering splendidly sung by
Mr.. Eddy. He was in fine voice
and sang with great feeling the
songs which both his concert and
radio audience have heard him sing
before. The glowing introduction

present because of illness, expressed
the sentiments of the audience
which gave the popular singer an
ovation.
Irving Berlin, singing his God

joining him, was the only one per-
mitted to give an encore. To the
accompaniment of the National
Symphony, Mr. Berlin was forced to
return and repeat the song that has
captured the whole country. the
audience, including Mrs. Roosevelt,

Search the red cedars and you
will find one or a dozen cedar ap-
pies on their branches. They are
foes of apple trees. Not that you
will find these curious brown gals
anchored on an apple tree. The
spores will not germinate on the
cedar or juniper or on any other
tree except on the leaves of the
apple or some allied plant, such as
hawthorn or Shad-bloW.
This gall has fascinating career.
1t succeeds for the reason that ma
ture lovers are not fully aware of
what foes and friends they encoun-
ter during their hikes. They do not
realize that constructive conServa-
ton, if practiced by all of us, would
be of value impossible to calculate
in money. Cooperation among us
would help to eradicate ugly spots
and create beautiful ones. We are

cause we wouldn't stop.
So we come to the cedar apple,
which is not an apple at all but a
growth. Observe these closely con-
structed "apples" the next time you
are close to a red cedar. During
cold weather they are sealed against
water and freezing temperatures.
In the spring revisit them. What
change! Many long, yellow,
tongue-like projections spring from
the apple" Early rains have
caused the gall to swell and break,
forming very conspicuous jellylike
masses of brilliant yellow spores.

Being Watched
In War on Spies
Trouble Expected
and Citizens Are
Asked TO Be Alert
BY FRANK MORRIS

With more than 1900 persons
under surveillance in Michigan,
federal and state authorities today
are operating a gigantic offensive
here against spies and saboteurs-
Spokesman revealed they expect
trouhle-and they are prepared for
it. They never forget that Detroit
was infested by spies and dyna-
miters during the last war, and
that in this war the city is a
far more important objective for
enemy attack.
The attack is expected, not from
the air but from underground
agents who might cripple whole
industry by few cautiously
planted bombs.
SOON TO AFFECT ALL
II was indicated that before long
this drive against spies will affect
the lives Of nearly every man and
woman in the city.
Every citizen will be asked to
be on the alert
Strangers Who ask pertinent
questions Of men in uniform will
immediately become liable TO suS-
picion and perhaps Investigations.
Employees of war industries will
be cautioned not 10 divulge infor-
Imation on production and ship,
|ments.
BASIS FOR INQUIRY
Defective workmanship. even
through carelessness, will be q
basis for inquiry.
Unintentional divulging OF de-
Tense secrets, through stupidity or
lthoughtlessness, will be almost as
serious a crime as deliberate con-
.nivance With the enemy.
And the death penalty may be
invoked for deliberate sabotage,
lust as it is now possible for per-
sons who send military secrets to
,ithe enemy. The measure to send
saboteurs before a firing squad
passed the House yesterday and
now is before the United States
Senate.

Bullet rings were quite popular

a ring was used by the Canadian

ring was part of bullet that

AS early as 1347 a military pro-

wounded by an iron-tipped arrow
at the famous battle of Crecy the
year before when the English

France. The arrowhead was
luckily recovered by a surgeon
and the knight lived. He sent il
