Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-11-16

TT was early evening when Sandra and Peter
4 arrived back at Plantation House. Sandra
! had been almost gay during the last few
miles of that journey. She kept telling herself
that things would be all right when she got
back She would be able TO face Ashley and
June and but she didn't go further
than that.
Felicite, hearing the drive up, came
out to the porch to meet them in gown of
black MORE silk with full skirt and high
neck.
"Ah here are re two wanderers 'onne,
she cried gaily Your papa and I've were
very surprise when you leave, Sandra but we
think maybe eet is for re best and eet as
been for re best, Ell ?" And her dark eyes
tw@nkled roguishly.
Sandras tired body stiffened 1T a
most interesting trip. l, ! thought since l
was down here, should see something of the
interior e. AS Peter was there it seemed
too good an opportunity to miss. so l went
and joined him"
"Ah. so it was but to see the courtry in
the middle that you went to join your Peter?""
Felicite laughed. apparently undaunted by the
sudden GOODNESS of Sandras attitude. When
was a young girl if ! want TO see young
man jus say want to see i'm and not the
middle Of a country" And she gave her
high pitched flute-like laugh
Sandra could have shaken her, but Peter
said easily: You're wrong, Fehcite. Sandra
and I are all washed up and likely 10 remain
so. But we had a swell time together and
we're great friends-if that interests you"
The little Frenchwoman looked at him
and sighed. rs Eat so? My poor Clifford e
was eping for so much. And l too. ! love
ze romance"
Romance be damned" Peter said cheer
fully. What about drink? I could sure
use one"
"Of course. We will ave the drinks
brought out here She clapped her hands
Pierre she said when the butler had APP
peared bring the drinks out and tell re
master that is daughter ave arrive"
If Sandra hadn't been quite so tired she
might have noticed that Felictes manner
seemed 20 have acquired an added confidence
ard that she spoke 10 the butler with new
air of authority. But now that she had
reached home she had sense Of let-down
that was almost frightening.
You VIII ave the tomato juice cherie?"
asked Felcite.

like you gave me the night arrived at your

Inaugurate Wildlife
Program in This Area

A fiveyear long cooperative pro-
ject to promote conservation of wild
life in Allegany and Garrett counties
has recently been inaugurated by the
State Game and Inland Fish Com
mission, the State Department of
Forestry and the u S. Fish and Wild
life Service.
Guided by Ernest A. Vaughn, pro-
ject leader, the conservation program
will be paid for out of funds derived
from the federal excise taxes on
sporting goods. Kenneth A. Wilson,
on the staff of the Pennsylvania
Game Commission, has been named
assistant to Mr. Vaughn
According to recent surveys, Mr..
Vaughn says, the habitat of game
species native to Western Maryland
invites improvement. Among other
detectives, the 5-year conservation
program calls for establishment of a
refuge system capable of saving
ample brood-stock on each forest
area.
Equipment and material used on
the project will be supplied by the
State Game and Inland Fish Com
mission. Labor will be furnished by
the Garrett county CCC camps.

HOW MAY PEOPLE KNOW

Americans may have many queer
ideas at times about many subjects,
but in times past when there was an
urgent need and their country called
them, they stood the test. They backed
the country to the limit, and thous-
ands paid the supreme sacrifice.
The great majority of Americans
today are still the same, but how are
people to know when there is a real
need for patriotism when there is such
confusion in the Federal Government
departments and continual attempts
by the leaders to trick the people :?
From their actions every day one
might well ponder the thought.
What about our aluminium drive of
recent weeks? People were told that
it was for defense purposes, to make
more airplanes, etc. But what hap
pens? 1t is admitted finally that
scrap aluminium cannot be used in
building airplanes and that the pur-
pose of the drive was to build up
civilian morale. The Navy Department
at San Diego offered three lots of
aluminium totalling 100000 pounds for
sale to the highest bidder recently.
Locally, the Imperial Ice Cream
Company offered to gather aluminium
and paid $4,000 in distributing free
chocolate imps to any one who brought
in piece of the metal. This company
was being patriotic. But the great pile
thus gathered is still over at the
plant, and letters here and there as to
what to do with the stuff brings no
answers. At last report even Secre-
tary Morgenthau didn't know what to
do with it. ji.n.,f .l.tnv
And how about the gas shortage ?
Secretary Ickes raised big hollel
and cracked down on gasoline distrib-
utors and filling stations He declared
there was dangerous shortage. Close
investigation by a Senate committee
disclosed that there were 10000 tank
cars of American railroads idle an
that the shortage was just so much
hot air. There was too much hysteria-
creating publicity without foundation
Of facts. Here again the public was
willing to cooperate, if there was any
real nand-bl1+ +bn,.a ,1,oe,,,+
Each day the Administration carries
on in just such way and expects sim
cere Americans to be patriotic and say
nothing
Ickes, the big bad wolf, may cry
'wolf, wolf" so often that when there
is real need, people won't pay any
attention.
President Roosevelt declared in his
Monday night speech that Labor was
to get back to work in the coal fields
and in defense industries. The applause
he received told how the people of this
nation felt about that subject. Yet
Tuesday he did nothing; Wednesday
he did nothing, and he probably won't
do anything today or any other day.
Only when this Governments heads
are sincere in their actions will the
people really know when our country
is in grave danger. This surely isn't
too much to ask

DIARY OF THE WAR


THURSDAY-Reds were holding
Moscow approaches, but in south the
Germans were pouring into Crimea
and the lower Don area. Russians
still had command of the Black Sea
however. Reds were attacking
around Moscow and slowly pushing
Germans back. Travellers urged more
planes for Russia. Rumanian troops
were feeling that war would soon end
for them. Rome admitted its troops
were on defensive in Ukraine Reds
claimed city Of Kharkov had cost Ger
mans 10000 men. The industrial city
was made useless before Red army
evacuated it.

this year.

ing, of IT. Lauderdale, and he
played excellent bridge to win
the title. Tobin's experience Off
set any advantage the youngsters
might have had in quick think
ing. Here is an example Of his
fine defensive play.
The king of hearts won the
jack. South led the queen Of
diamonds, which rode to East's
king. East led q heart and To-
bin correctly let South win.
South then cashed the jack and
ten of diamonds, East discarding
the deuce of spades.
The next play was q low club
to the jack, won by East's queen.
East led the third heart and To-
bin was in with the ace.
Now Tobin could have cashed
the long heart for the fourth de-
fensive trick. But he saw that II
East held enough shoppers In the
black suits TO prevent declarer
from making game In top cards,
then East would be squeezed
when the last heart and the dia-
mond ace were cashed.
The only hope was 70 abandon
the long heart. Tobin therefore
switched 70 the ten Of spades,
and this play resulted in declar-
er's. losing two more tricks.
