nAction to regulate the rapid
growth in the southern section
Of Macomb county was being
contemplated today as "a pro-
tective measure"
Organized under a Permanent
Committee, q large group-rep-
resenting many state, county and
local organizations-is planning
to introduce q bill in the state
legislature Tuesday to curb the
"Oalkie" movement In the coun-
ty.
The Permanent Committee Is
headed by representatives from
states prosecutors, sheriffs, po-
lice chiefs, judiciary and health
officials, and plans action to reg
ulate the conditions found in
boom towns"
The bill would strengthen ex-
listing statutes regulating trail
er and similar camps, 1t was
said.
With Warren township-al-
ready coveredswith trailer towns
and purported to be the fastest
growing community in the Unit
ed States, and all Macomb coun-
ty being swiftly dotted with all
types Of shelters, the group feels
that there is an immediate need
for laws to cover fire, health and
police protection.
FOLLOW WAR BOOM
War orders which have come
to Macomb county's many fac
tories have started the boomers
in this direction, the committee
pointed out, and many of the
settlers are just out to get-rich-
quick, regardless Of the COM
munity In which they reside.
This type, the hackers of the
bill said, will live in any shell
ter, trailer or lean-to as long as
they can be near their work.
However, the committee stat
ed there are others who hope
for permanent work and wish
to make Macomb county their
home. It is this group and the
present residents Of the county
that must be protected, the com.
mittee said.

some order out of the education
problem which is being faced
by school boards throughout the
growing areas.
The fire department of Center
Line services a vast area in the
southern section Of the county,
and all Warren township is in
need of more complete fire pro-
lection.
Dangers Of an epidemic are
feared by health authorities.
The trailer towns would be hard
hit, and the disease could easily
spread throughout the county,
il was said. Poor sanitary con-
ditions are also a target of the
measure.
The crime angle is also getting
deep consideration. Some weeks
ago, Sheriff Jacob F. Theut told
THE DAILY MONITOR that the
sheriffs department is greatly
handicapped by the lack of man.
power.
CRIME A POTENTIAL
Crime could easily become a
major problem in the county, it
was said, with the growth of
the communities. Persons Of all
types will settle throughout this
section in the next few months,
and il will be the job Of law
enforcement officers to curb all
unlawlessness.
Under the proposed legisla-
ton, any three or more shelters
would be defined as a camp.
It would prohibit settling in
swamp and other unhealthy
areas. A large section now being
used for trailer camps would
fall under this regulation for
much of Macomb county Is on
1owlands.

Everything points to attain

originally planned. Because the
United States started its arma-
ment program later than the
other powers, II will be many

stantial proportions by fall,
however, and tremendous levels
next year, officials said.
Last October, Secretary Slim
son announced tentative sched-
ules under which the 1885, 900
men of the national guard would
all have been indicted into the
federal service by Feb. 3 this
year.
About $4,000 national

The number Of selective SER
vice trainees now in the army
is about 126, 500. This compares
with 100000 selectees schedul-
ed tentatively last fall to be
taken in by this time. The rea-
son for the great discrepancy is
not entirely the delays in hous-
ing, however. A partial expla-
nation Is that there have been
$4,000 one-year enlistments not
contemplated originally, and an
other is that three-year enlist
ments have increased the regu-
lar army faster than expected
to an enlisted strength Of 49,
600.
This month, instead Of the
100000 selectees once scheduled
tentatively to be taken in, the
elective service system Is being
called upon to supply $4,000.
The next month the number
will rise to 10000 and from
then until June 80 It will be

Officers who have visited
posts at which selectees are

were knocking 'em for q loop"
BY that, they said, they meant
that they were fine physical
specimens whose interest and in
telligence were pleasing their

Officials reported that the Sc

vided the new armored force

half of them specialists such as

ing rejected by local and army

Inevitably his twin talents sug-

That didn't satisfy Bona-nova,
who decided to branch out to the

star of an outdoor festival when
Gilbert Miller heard of him and

also appeared with Gloria Swan
