Floral Industry
on The Upgrade
Demand for Flowers
Proves Brisk

The Mount Clemens floral in
dustry, ore of the pioneers here,
is enjoying better trade now and
has through the last year than
it did for severa, years before
that, it wars stated today by
James Carey, veteran local flor
list.
Cutthroating which acted as
a drag upon the entire industry
for a number years has been
minimizcd by a brisk upward
trend in the demand for flowers,
Carey declared.
That condition has obtained
so far in the face of the depar-
ture of a good many young men
for service in the armed forces
Of the United States but is due
to show decline in the near
future as the result of such de-
partures, Carey believes.

the standings as OF March 81
with one outstanding fowl, Off

In the pen record covering

WASHINGTON, April "a -
(AP) - Confronted with a
claim that some 1912 model au-
tomobiles might make their first
appearance on the streets as late
as 1912, the House Banking
Committee called on the office
of price administration today
for an exp anation of its car ra-
tioning regulations.
The decision to ask OPA to
explain what some committee
members said were very COM
pick" regulations came after an
automobile dealer spokesman
said some dealers estimated that
under current regulations the
present supply of new cars
might last as long as 80 years.
BOARDS CONFUSE
In some cases, said Charles
w. Bishop, counsel for the Ma
tional Automobile Dealers AS
ISOLATION, loca. rationing boards
were so confused by the regula-
tons that rather than take a
chance of violating them they
often turned down worthy APP
plicationS for new car purChas-
eS.
Bishop said he had made no
study of the length of time that
would be required to dispose of
new cars under present orders,
but estimates of several large
manufacturers were that from
two to three years would be re-
quired, while dealers estimates
were much higher.
He explained that approx
mately 100000 new cars were
in stock, and they were moving
s oWly because of very COM
pick fs1ioning ruitS.- O
The OPA repr sentatives
were expected to be the last
heard by the committee before
it acts on legislation to author
ize the RFC to give financial
aid to dealers, either by making
loans or purchasing their unsold
cars.
Under this program, Jones
told the committee, dealers
would be able to dispose of
their stocks without a .oss, and
later could rcacquire the pro-
ducts from the RFC at the cost

tractors.

All Must Survive

7 LARRY H. SCHLACHT the lively editor of New York
Cty's East Side News. contributed timely cleaning
from American history the Hearst newspapers recently
1t appeared in appreciation of Thomas jefferson
which Mr. Schacht wrote and which comprised the In
The News" column that day.
Here is the excerpt referred to, reproduced In Mr.
Schlachts own language |N(
THE story is told that during JefersOns first term
the country visited by Baron Won Humboldt Ger
scientist. who great admirer of Thomas
Jefferson.
Zone day at the White House, the baron picked up
from the Presidents opposition newspaper that
reeked with anti-JefiersOnian abuse.
Indignantly, he turned to the President and asked
"'Mhy is such an outrage permitted: This paper
should be suppressed and the editor sent to prison.
Jefferson smiled at his German friend folded the
offending paper and handed il to him.
Barron he said take that with YOU when YOU go
home. And when hereafter anywhere in the old world
you hear question the freedom of speech and the
liberty of the press in the United States show them that
paper and tell them where you found it,
This is the real character of America, not just
mere belief in democracy but living reality all the way,
when il hurts"
MR. SCHLACHT might very well have said that what
wi jefferson indicated by his conduct and by his ad
monton to the from Germany, precisely one of
the freedoms" for which America is battling against
Nazi Germany today
Undoubtedly were Jefferson living now he would be
the first and foremost statesman to remind his fellow
citizens that il boots them little and benefits the world
less offer civil liberties to Europe Asia and Africa
unless ourselves prize those liberties enough to main
tain them securely at home
Indeed Jefersonan intellect is not required to
understand that the -four freedoms for which fight
will not prevail elsewhere unless EACH OF THEM

Athletic Heart Contributed
To Boxer Darcy's Death
BY DAMON RUNYON

MY RECENT tale of the pass
AVA ing of Les Darcy, the Aus
tralian prize fighter, needs some
minor revision. as is generally
the case with tales told from
memory.
Darcy was the middleweight
who slipped out of Australia
during the first World War when
he was eligible for consumption
and came to this country only TO
run into a furious bombardment
OF criticism as Stacker Les"
which many old timers think
broke his heart and FASTENED his
death.
AS to the broken heart I
would not know. / did not talk
with Darcy after the lombard
ment started and could not
Judge of his reaction-the thing
called broken heart being some
thing entirely mental and not
cardiac. as you know.
The official cause OF death
given at the time was pneu-
monia, but il seems likely that
the most phlegmatic OF men
would have felt the sting OF the
bsrbs pegged at Darcy. so II is
quite possible that worry con-
tributed TO his breakdown.
DUT there was something else,
ID purely physical and little
known at the time, that entered
into the situation.
Darcy had what is commonly
known as an athletic heart,
though he was only about 23.
This cannot be doubted, as he
was examined at the time of his
illness by well known physicians
of Memphis, where he died May
"a 1917.
Billy Hack. once one OF the
most famous boxing promoters
in the Southland, tells me the
story in long letter.
II comes to my mind that the
general details of Darcy's pass
ing were covered by Joe Will
liams. the sports writer. in an
interview with Hack some
months ago which I read at the
time and should have remem-
bered. J..l.-.
Nonetheless. old Billy's story
will bear repetition If only to
straighten out my own version.
Darcy, who had come TO this
country with a tremendous
reputation because OF his VIC
tories in Australia over some
good American gladiators. was
in bad in many states as re-
suit Of the sports writers past
ing OF him on his war record.
Hack. then the big promoter

successful promotions longe
than a well-rope behind him,
had Darcy matched with Len
Rowlands of Philadelphia, but
the fire got so hot it did not
look as if Bill could pull off his
show.
DARCY was in New Orleans,
with Fred Gilmore, old-time
Chicago manager, looking after
him, and Hack went there and
got the pair TO return TO Mem
phis with him.
He then took Darcy to Mayor
T. c. Ashcroft, and after a talk
with the fighter the mayor said
that if Darcy would enlist in
the army he would see that he
got the chance TO play his pugi-
liStic vocation.
Hack then escorted Les TO
the aviation camp and field at
Memphis, and the Australian
was sworn in as a soldier.
Ashcroft gave his permission
for the Darcy-Rowlands match,
and Hack set up training quar-
tiers for Darcy at Dominic Ia
nones' place at the race track.
The following day Darcy be-
came i'll at the old Peabody
Hotel. and Hack called in his
club physician, DR.. S. +. Pincus,
who said Les had an athletic
heart.
Hack then sent for DR.. Bryce

The success of this blackout is
due TO the fine cooperation OF

in Canada across from us.
/ am not half so proud OF he
blackout success as / am TO find
that the people of Detroit are
assuming their responsibilities
and are not going to be caught

This fine cooperation is proof
that a democracy does work and
that we will be found to be

I particularly want to thank
you for your efforts in making
