Death Claims
Mrs. Tanning
Richmond Women

OMrs. bessie Tanning, lifelong
resident of Richmond, was found
dead in her home late yesterday
afternoon. Coroner Howard ".
Groesbeck, Jr., said that death
was due to a heart ailment. She
was Sc years of age.
Mrs. Tanning was born near
Richmond on Jan. 8, 1875, the
daughter of the late Mr.. and
Mrs. John Harmon. She resided
in that community all her life.
Her husband, the late Frank
Tanning, passed away several
years ago.
She is survived by one sister,
Mrs. Altha Stafford
Funeral services will be held

no political managers dream
prince. On the rostrum he shows
traces of his law-acduired arro-
CANT courtroom manner. His flat
toned, Austrian accented speech
has a biting ironical edge. He
lacks the gift of compromise.
When Mr.. Menzies became
premier in the spring of 1899. he
was regarded by many Austral-
ians as an appeaser,, q Munich
man." AS late as July he believed
that "the dictators will keep
peace in the interests Of their
own countries" Once the war
came, however, he pledged that
Australia stands with Britain to
the last man and shilling"
To see that Australia fulfilled
her potentialities in aiding the
empire, Mr.. Menzies has used
strong, sometimes high-handed
methods. The recently-passed
Emergency Powers Bill gave
him practically dictatorial pow
ers, with the right to conscript
men, shillings and machines.
AS q result, when he stood for
reelection last fall, he just
squeezed through and his United
Australia Party holds a bare
two-vote margin over Labor in
parliament.
The narrow margin is in no
way an indication of popular
support Of the accomplishments
of the Menzies premiership so
far as the war goes. Whatever
the prime minister's faults, no
one can gainsay that under his
leadship Australia has gone
through a major industrial revo-
luton.
A country the size of the US,
with population smaller than
that of New York City, Australia
has created an aircraft industry
of importance. Over $50 900 men
are turning out arms and NUM-
tons in 1941, as opposed to 2,700
In 1917. Merchantmen are
sliding down Australian ways.
She has trained or is training
50, 900 pilots - comparable, on
comparative populations, to l.
900, 900 in America.
And Bardia, Benghazi, To-
bruk and Greece are all perma-
nent testimonials to Australia's
contribution to the defense of
her mother country.

workers In LOndOn's East End
But they're likely to return-pI
rent on two homes.
Although bombs may drive
man and his family away from
his home in the shadow of the
factory, he is drawn back be-
cause he cannot afford to pay
rent in two places.
THE POOR
MANS LAWYER"
When a man survives bomb,
but discovers half his house is
demolished, his rent isn't re-
duced automatically to compen-
safe for the unusable room. He
may try, sometimes, to get the
landlords agent to make an ad-
justment, but without success. II
the tenant doesn't pay, the agent
slaps q court order on him. The
worker is then summarily told
to pay up by a judge, who may
or may not agree with the COM
mon justice of the problem. The
judge is duty-bound to execute
the law as it still exists.
So in addition to the high ex-
plosives which MAIN and kill,
the people who live near this is
land factory have to worry about
legal entanglements.
Factory workers can't afford
lawyers, and until recently there
was no other help open to them
when they tangled with the law.
Now, however, there is the Pill
grim's Civilian Advisory Bureau.
Everyone On the island calls 1t
The Poor Mans Lawyer. The
organization was started, and is
being operated by, the Pilgrim
Trust Charity under the direc-
ton Of social worker Jensen. 1t

picture, and is run by woman

lowing statement:
II respectfully urge all Ma

ticularly those living in South
Macomb, to refrain from the
purchase of peoples until May
"a; ond, even then, that they as
cestain whether the seller Is q

barrister named Stella Penley.
The first DAY it opened, it did
a land office business. The men
and women who walk through
the door of Pilgrim House on the
island invariably are concerned
about three questions: Can they
get rent adjustment? Can they
hold back some of the rent
money until the landlord does
his share in repairing the bomb
ed home? Are they entitled to
government aid?
Legal advice is free and if any
need a solicitor to represent
them in court on greater diff
culties, that also is provided free.
To the people of this island, help
such as this almost signified the
arrival of the millennium. Legal
help they always wanted and
needed" says Mrs. Jensen, But
they didn't get it until the Pill
grim Trust did something about
the matter"
Both Mrs. Jensen and Miss
Penley believe that this Poor
Mans Lawyer" idea is the fore
runner of social service which
you will find throughout Eng
land, after the war.
