Patriotic Defenders

THE organization OF 800 boys and girls in Indian Village
and surrounding neghborhoods into "Detroits Young
Defenders is an experiment in constructive Amercanism
that will be appauded by parents and watched with great
interest by youth leaders throughout the country
The group has been formed through the efforts
of Miss Mildred Plumb active Red Cross worker Mrs
W. NJ. Brucker Mrs. Dewitt H. Merriam and other
public spirited residents of the east side In setting up
program for the Young Defenders they have received
the whole-hear cooperation of the Detroit Board OF
Education the Junior Red Cross and other agencies.
Under the program, the Young Defenders will go to
School days week beginning June "a But instead
of the traditional school of readn writn and rhmetc
it will be school in which the boys and girls are taught
motor assembly and repair Red Cross sewing safe drv
ing first aid cooking and variety of other skls very
useful in these times of emergency.
THE classes will be held in the Nichols School, which is
centrally located in reference to the six other schools
contributing students: Barbour intermediates Monteth
Liggett Eastern High st. Charles and Annunclaton
Represented are public private and parochia schools
The unusual feature of the Young Defenders IS that
the organization something devised by parents to
occupy the time of their children during the Summer The
organization of the group demanded by the children
They demanded share in the national defense program
demanded that they be trained they will be useful IN
any emergency.
This demand Of the children is splendid answer to
those who say day youth not interested in what
happens TO this country

Preparing for Life

r-HIRTY- FIVE wears ago determined Detroit teacher
decided il was time do something about an educa-
tonal system that failed prepare for life the 80 per
cent of the students who quit school and SO to work after
graduation from high school.
He went 10 the superintendent of schools and said:
"Our high school curriculum is designed to benefit
the 10 per cent who continue their education and to
college That's all right for the 10 per cent, but how
about the other 90 per cent:
Cant we do something to prepare them for life:
Can't we train them to make living? Isn't that our
primary job"
7 ATER the superintendent called the teacher to his
l. office and replied:
Ben you've got the right idea. want YOU to
develop vocational system of training for the Detroit
schools and for start YOU have the third floor
of the Cass Union School
The teacher was Benjamin Freeman Comfort who
died Thursday at the age Of II at the home of his son
near st. Louis, Mo.
Such was the birth of vocational training in the De-
troit schools 1t was not long before Ben Comfort
developed Cass Technical High School into of the
finest technical schools in the nation.
CUCCESS of Cass Technical High School under the
- guidance of Principal Comfort led to the opening of
the various technical units in the Detroit school system
and broad program of vocational training for the youth
of the city.
Thousands Of Detroiters who attended Cass Tech
during the 81 years Ben Comfort principal prohted
by his wisdom patience and kindness.
They learned from this beloved man that preparing
for life" consists only of instruction in the manual
arts but adherence to moral values and faith in demo-
cratic institutions.

4 LADY whose children l
brought into the world,
three boys and two girls, said
10 me:
Doctor, do you know Freddie
is in the army"
l said, Yes 1 do, he came TO
see me the day before he entered
the army. Fine boy, that lad,
you must be proud of him"
But Doctor" she said, you
keep writing TO The Detroit
Times, and keep saying we must
fight Hitler and Freddie might
get killed
l said, MY dear lady, Id be
proud TO know that one of my
babies had lost his life in defense
of his country TO preserve free.
dom and all that word implies to
all the Freddies who come after
him. Now, look mother, every
boy who joins the army does not
get killed. If they did we
wouldn't have the big parades of
the American Legion. the Vet
Grams Of Foreign Wars, the dis
abled American Veterans, the
Veterans of the Spanish War.
and even the remnants of the
Union Army that preserved this
nation. You see, Mother, none
of us know how or why or when
we die. but il is appointed for
all mankind TO die Just once
Statistics show that more
people meet with fatal accidents
in their own home. and in these
days of the fast moving automo-
biles more people are killed and
manned in one day in. these
United States than in most
major battles.
l then told Freddie's mother
this true story.
A young man, brother Of a
famous stage and screen star,
a native born American citizen,
enlisted in the British Army in
1914. and when America entered
the World War, as soon as our
eXpeditionary forces landed. was
transferred 10 the army of the
United States of America.
He was in every major en-
gagement from 1914 until the
Armistice was signed, Nov. II,
1918. He went through all this
unscathed.
The war at an end, this young
man was sent with the American
Army of Occupation to Coblentz,
Germany.
A few days after arriving at
that post, he was crossing a
road, was run over by an army
truck and killed instantly.
80 you see, Mother. he came
through all the horrors of war
only 10 be killed in an inglorious
manner by motorized army
truck. Freddie won't get killed"

ONE of the great all-time out
" side sizzlers of our acquaint-
ance is Bob ODonnell, Texas
movie magnate. who headquar-
tiers at Dallas where his silv'ry
locks above his youthful counte-
nance is deemed one of the
municipal sights of interest.
In the days When he was a
theatrical booking agent in New
York. O'Donnell was a devotee
of a card game known as hearts,
which is calculated to bring the
sizzle TO an iceberg.
O'Donnell would stand getting
the black queen slipped TO him
just so often. and then his sizzle
would burst forth in a furious
flame. He would tear the cards
up.
He became so proficient at
tearing cards up that finally ne
could take whole deck and
rend il asunder and RUDE Bern
stein wanted TO book him as a
strong man but finally under the
consuming heat of a terrific
sizzle. O'Donnell got up and left
town and wandered off to Texas
10 become a settler there and a
rich man.
This is one Of the few cases
OF a sizzle profiting a sizzler of
which we have any record.
TNHE historic inside sizzler of
l. all Broadway was. of course,
the late Johnny Slevin, a fine
actor of his day. who used to
play cards at the old Friars
Club with his theatrical friends.
His opponents noticed that
when he was losing Johnny
hastily would scribble something
on bits of paper and put the
paper in his pocket.
One day a curious soul got
hold of Johnny's coat and
frisked il of the recordings TO
discover that what Johnny had
been setting down was impreca-
tions that he did not care TO
utter aloud.

QERNIE is nearly always
- smoking a huge cigar when
the cards are not doing right by
him, the volume of smoke from
his cigar keeps mounting under
violent suction until presently
Bernie is well nigh invisible iY
the fog.
One school Of thought among
Bernie's opponents at cards hold
that this smoke screen is put
forth by him deliberately in the
hope that it will choke his oppo-
nents to death. but we think not.
We think il is merely the
evidence of his inside sizzling
and is probably unconscious and
uncomfortable.
Max Gordon. the New York
theatrical producer. is a body
siZZler, which is not an uncom-
mon type. A body sizzler keeps
moving uneasily in his chair as
if he were sitting on hot plate,
and found it uncomfortable.
Milton Ager, the song writer,
Is the embarrassed type of in
side sizzler. That is, he bushes
when losing as if he felt he
found himself in an ignominious
situation, which is sizzle
characteristic of good card play
ers in moments when fortune is
growing on them.
