Importance of Free Ballot
The address of Coz. Murray d. Van Wag.
oner Which roW be reproduced by photograph
recordings in Detroit schools, reads:

/ AM happy 10 Join with The Detroit Times ana many
4 prominent citizens Of Detroit in asking our future
citizens boys and girls schools 10 help put across
plan bring all your fathers and mothers TO the voting
booths election day.
You boys and girls have reading the newspapers,
know, and you understand lot about what Is going
in the world today than some of our Older folks THINK
you=do.
You know about the relationships which have arisen In
the Old World and about the terrible which has spread
to nearly every country earth except own America
The reason why nations today ruled by die
tators that the citizens Of those nations gave up their
right self govenment their right to free speech their
right to questions and to study and think and worship
they believed right The people these precious
rights little by little long period of time, because
they fooled into thinking that it too much rouble
their government and that powerful man
could do better job for them than the people themselves
could do
IN OTHER words when people ignore their duties cit
i say 1T doesn't make any difference who we
choose govern they Just ASKING for bad govern
But if citizens remain alert and watch the way their
government is being and vote for candidates they
believe will do good job that very watchfuness by the
people will have fine effect in making the government
officials responsive to the needs of the people
Today than at any other time in the history OF
America all realize the value of being citizens of this
free nation. We that citizenship is not something that
take for granted The moment take freedom
for granted, at that moment we start 10 lose It,
You boys and girls have been given job to do-a
reminding your fathers and mothers of their RESPONSE
bies good citizens and their obligations to help to keep
government free until the day when you your
selves become fuedged citizens and carry on those
privileges that parents grandparents and all the
other Americans for generations back have left for future
generations to enjoy.
Show your parents that you appreciate these privileges
and that you know how they be protected. Help get
your parents to the voting booth on election day.

TO CHANGE SCHEDULE

In response to a request from
Lansing merchants, the assistant
superintendent of the N & w rail-
way made an investigation a few
days ago relative to changing
hours of the Lansing freight Of
flee, but no announcement has
been made concerning the COM
pany's action.
Merchants petitioned that the
freight and depot office hours be
changed from the present sche-
dule of 2 p. m. to II p. m. to 8
a. m. and 5 p. m.
The merchants explained that
now they could not sent kilograms
until 2 o'clock in the afternoon
and that there is urgent need fol
morning service.
The N & w made the change
to 2 p. m. the latter part of Sept
ember because of the late train
arrival. With a decline in volume
of business now, it is expected
that the train will operate or
schedule to arrive here at $3.50 p
m. Ira Duncan is freight agent al

that fright now there are thous-
ands of workers who are loosing
their jobs in industry because of
the shortage of materials used by
the defense program I think
that these displaced workers
should be put to work building
such fine public projects as we
are dedicating here today. It is
in the direct interest of our great
defense effort that people who
cannot get private jobs be put to
work on projects that build up
health and well-being of the COM
