William B. Thompson

THE public life of William B. Thompson encompassed
i two Detroit political generations. He grew up in the
DID, usy days when ward politicians fourshed and Tam
many tactics of the esteemed good
practical politics.
Mr. Thompson essentially practical person.
He had to rub shoulders with the politicians of those
times. He had to work with them but he of
them.
He abhorred their practices and eager crusader
in every reform movement that he felt was sound.
AS alderman city and mayor he had splen-
did opportunity to envison the evils of the old ward
politics and the urgent needs of correction.
He knew that advocacy of these corrections in
governmental machinery might political suicide. He
was however. staunch civic patriot that he strobe
ahead regardless, in his advocacy
NF LATE years his personal affairs occupied most of
~ his time. But he too busy to give of his
energy and his knowledge and his experience to any civic
problem laid before him.
Detroit not perfectly governed he said couple
of years ago, "but its government is UNNECESSARILY
better than when entered politics that there is
comparison"
Mr.. Thompson modest man. He would be the
last to say how much he had contributed to that
betterment.
He contributed greatly to it by his honesty and his
depth of vision and his true love for his cty.-
At one time another virtually every mayor of De-
rot through the last 80 years sought his wise counsel

TO THE EDITOR:
IN REGARD to the accepted
L use of frightfulness in this
war. which the British are hol-
lering about, distinguished
British officer named Colonel
Hamilton earned for himself the
name of "Hairbuyer" in 1776 by
offering and paying S25 to the
savage Indians for the scalps of
American women and children.
A bomb usually kills quickly,
but these Indians tortured help
less American women and chill
dren with the full approval Of
the British general staff. There
fore, full credit for the use of
frightfulness must be dumped
squarely where it originated
The British refined their tech
nique in India, when they tied
Hindus across lannon's mouth
and blasted them into eternity,
1t is simple law of elemen-
tary economics, that when ma
tons supply of raw materials is
menaced by an unfriendly power
with a vast navy. there is but
one recourse = armed conflict
At the close of the last war
England created all these little
buffer states in order that they
might bear the brunt of the next
war Methinks il has backfired
on her.
What are the British Dragging
about? The royal family is
more nasty nasty German than
British. Victoria married Ger
man Prince Albert. George III
was German. In 1914 the
royal family had to take the
name of Windsor Castle and
drop the nice Germanic name of
Hanover.
They kicked out their rightful
king because he wanted to
marry an American girl our
money they want. nay. they even
beg for ii, but our girls aren't
good enough for them! Let's
adopt the same thought and
keep our boys home. Our boys
are too good to throw away saw
ing England's markets for her,
in return for the epithets Uncle
Shylock."
Remember when the British
sent an envoy 10 Catherine TO
buy Russian soldiers for use
against us. and the empress
asked icily if the British army
couldn't whip a pack of poor
farmers?
Then the envoy sneaked over
10 Frederic the Great TO ask for
Prussian troops. and Frederic
had him kicked out for stealing
Ben Franklins papers?

Seek World Domination

uIILL our present course, if pursued in
w volve us in war? That can best be
answered by asking another question. Did
the strict neutrality policies of the small, in
vaded countries save them from brutal
aggression and oppressive subjugation2 Ne,
of course not. Wasn't the appeasement of
Munich the calm before the storm?
The fundamental doctrine of the Nazi
philosophy is evolved along an ambitious pro-
gram of world domination, even at the cost
of destroying civilization. Accordingly, they
could not stop their conquering urge even if
they wanted to.
The only method TO stop their phobia from
gaining momentum is to counter with force
more powerful than their own.
The only way to accomplish this is to
render about aid to Great Britain, short of
active participation. If we can succeed in
re-arming Great Britain, then, and then only,
will Hitler meet force more powerful than
his own.

No Danger Of Attack

No Danger Of Attack
I READ Congressman Dingall's statement in
the Times. l am sorry to say he failed to
say anything about the most dangerous pro-
vision in the war bill. How these war mongers
love to fool the people by telling them only
half the truth.
He never said a word about the extra
ordinary powers the bill confers upon the
President.
No European nation will attack US right
away. If we keep out of this war, with the
war equipment we have on hand, and our
ability to create more in short order we can
defend ourselves
We believe in helping England with arma-
ments. We have been doing so already. That
should be the end of help. We have no bust
ness fighting wars in Europe.
We do not believe our nation has been
called upon yet to bring about freedom of
speech freedom of worship, the relieving of
all want and fear from the face of the earth.
1t has not been done yet in our own land.
Let us stay at home.

FIGURES REGARDING
INSURANCE ARE GIVEN
Commissioner Calls At.
tentiOn to Certain OBJ
jectiOnable Practices

State Insurance Commissioner,
John B. Centrum, has given out
some interesting figures concern
ing insurance business in Mary
land.
The figures show that the total
assets of companies doing business
in Maryland amounts to over 1872,
000.000,000, with premium income
of over $86,0O0,0OO paid yearly by
Maryland policyholders. Life in
surance policies in force in Mary
land amount to almost $2,OO0.0O0.
600 and fire insurance policies
written or renewed total over
s.. 100000.
Not only is the insurance com
missioner Of Maryland charged with
the supervision Of all domestic in
surance companies, but all the
companies doing business in Mary
land are likewise under the joint
supervision of the Maryland De
partment and the Insurance De-
partment of other States in which
those companies do business.
Mr.. Centrum has issued the fol
lowing letter to all insurance COM
panieS:
ut has been called to the atten-
ton of the insurance commission
err that certain companies have re-
fused to pay valid claims where the
amounts are so small that litigation
would not be justified. The com
missioner regards such a practice
very seriously. If it is proven that
any company doing business in
Maryland makes practice of avoid
ing the payment of just claims sole
| ly because the amounts involved
are so small as to render the pos
sibility of suit remote, the insur.
ance commissioners will consider
that such practice will be sufficient
ground for the suspension or revO-
cation of license of the company
involved.
"The commissioner requests that
any policyholders that feels that his
claim is rejected solely because OF
smallness of the amount involved
to notify the Insurance Department
and the matter will be investigated

FOODS PART IN
DEFENSE PROGRAM
"Feeding for Fitness" Is
Very Important, Says
DR.. r. II. Riley

Speaking of the importance of
feeding for fitness" as a part of
the defense program, DR.. R. II.
Riley, Director Of the State Depart
ment of Health said we are slowly
waking up to the fact that the intel
ligent selection and use Of the
kinds of food necessary to main
tain health and to keep our physi-
cal machinery in the best possible
condition, are of more importance
to each of us. than merely eating
food that is chosen without regard
to its nutritive qualities.
In a comparative study made
some time ago of the health of
school children in two widely sepa-
rated districts-one in an agricul-
tural community and the other in
all industrial one-a large percent
age of the children from the farming
sections were found to show marked
signs of malnutrition, while those
from the industrial area were in
much better shape physically.
although milk. other dairy pro-
ducts, fruits and fresh vegetables
all of which are essential for we'll
balanced diet-were readily avail
able in the farming sections, the
children had been allowed to indulge
their preference for less familiar
and less nourishing foods, with the
result already mentioned.
Certain factors that affect nu-
trition-and not all them apply to
food-must be given due considera-
ton in feeding for fitness. A six
point program as outlined by the
Nutritionist Of the State Depart
ment of Health stresses the fol-
lowing:
First, the diet must be adequate.
That is it must include a generous
supply of the protective foods
milk, fruit. vegetables, eggs, whole
grain bread and cereals.
Second, enough sleep and rest
are without them true
fitness is impossible.
Third there must be freedom
from physical defects, such as de-
cayed teeth or diseased tonsils, to
insure the best utilization of food.
Fourth. correct elimination is
essential in the utilization Of food.
Fifth, exercise and fresh air are
necessary to help to stimulate the
appetite.
Sixth, good posture is included
