The Citizen, in an editorial,
said:
''On every hand is heard the
cry of Taxes, too much Taxes.
In Key West, the public feels that
it cannot continue to carry the
burden. Yet few stop to consid-
er that the city's federal taxes
are far heavier than its state,
county, city and school taxes COM
bined. This, however, is true and
if Key Wes:ers are really con-
cerned with lowering taxes they
will give more thought to the
manner in which Congress is
squandering hundreds of millions
of dollars, of which Key Westers
contribute their share.

board adopted a pay-as-you-go
policy 10 years ago when Otto
"Spud" Sherlock was first
elected superviscr, $4,000 in
township obligations have been
paid off and a $50. 900 bank &C.
count has been accumulated.
All this despite the fact that
the township tax rate during the
last three years has been the
lowest in its history-only 81
per $1,000 of assessed valuation.
Township finances are so good
that taxpayers are petitioning
the board to build a $1,000 Of
flee building. The board already
owns the necessary property
situated on South Gratiot ave-
nue. near Butler road, and con-
struction of the modern build
ing will probably get underway
this spring.
With q population Of more
than 5000, Clinton township
residents realize the sAeed Of -
central point at which official
records can be kept. Members
Of the township board for years
have worked at their homes.
Besides Sherbe c X, men,
bers of the board are: Ar
thur c. Leitz, treasurer, Paul
Stepnitz, clerk; John Merrill,
attorney, and Walter Williams
and J. Howard Ellis, Justices
Of the peace. They meet the
second Wednesday Of each
month at the township h . IL
located on Moravian drive.
Otto "Spud" Sherlock was =
partner In the grocery and meat
firm of Sherlock & Thede in
1891 when he made his first
successful campaign for the Of
flee Of supervisor. The firm
operated on the site now used
by the s. 8. Kresge dollar store.
"Spud" retired q grocer .
year later, because the job Of
supervisor In modern Clinton
township required al OF his
time. Since then, his fellow
residents have returned him to
office every spring, always by.
q comfortable vote margin.
"Spud" says his township en-
Joys the best financial status
Of any township located south
OF Moun. Clemens and to date
his claim has gone undisputsd.
Arthur G. Leitz served two
terms as treasurer In 1890 and
1881, but couldn't seek office
again because the law at that
time denied . township treasur-
er more than two successive
terms.
Later when Cas- Kerblewski
replaced him, the law allowed
four terms and today no limit

Leitz returned to the office In
1885 and since then has been

Now Sweet Band

ceived his A. B. degree, entered the
music profession IN the Footsteps
of his illustrious brother, Fletcher
His entrance into the music world
brought to light that he was
personality in his own right and
not trading upon his brothers pop
ularlty.
Using essentially the same instru-
mentation employed by Basic and
Lunceford, Henderson's aggregation
has the distinguishing feature OF
striving for sweetness of tone, a
blending of sections that is COM
monty associated only with ranking
white bands.
He points out that music of this
nature is the inherent preference
of colored people" and that COM
mercialiSm and various exploitation
motifs alone are responsible for
the mistaken idea that no colored
band can do justice to a sweet tune,
He further ayers, that no attempt is
being made to copy the Miller or
Dorsey style. In some quarters, it
is held that his new venture will
be remarkable success, with opin-
ions based upon the superlative bal
lad arrangements made by Horace
while acting as chief arranger for
Charlie Barnet's orchestra for over
a wear.

Willkie has stated the motion pic
ture industry is opposed to the
Nazi program of racial diScrimina-
ticn. His letter to Senator Clark
regarding the proposed investiga-
ton in part read:
eff the committee feels that the
racial and geographic background
of American citizens is condition
to be investigated. there is no need
for the investigation We frankly
state that the motion picture in
duStry there are in positions, both
prominent and inconspi icuous, both
Nordics and non Nordics, Jews and
Gentiles. Protestants and Catholics,
native and foreign born. This in.
dustry, with many others in our
country demonstrates that neither
race, creed nor geographical ORR
gin is essential qualifications to
participate in American business.
This fact illustrates a basic prin-
ciple of American life, as we have
known is over $50 years. The mo-
ton picture industry, composed
like other industries Of loyal
patriotic Americans, despises the
racial discrimination of NaZism and
is devoted to the cause of free

Stands along the eastern seaooard.
Much skepticism is going the
rounds as to whether he will be
able to realize his ambition to Gre
ate one of the nations distinctive
sweet bands, or whether his brain
child will be flop. Either way, he
will hold the distinction OF being
the first colored band leader to
cater to the public's taste for sweet
rhythm.
The band is composed of artists
who have at some time or other
been connected with one or more
bands as hot or jazzmen. From
Jackie Fields, who handled alto
sax in Coleman Hawkins outfit,
down to Willie Beason, who replac-
