Library Receives
a State Grant

The WyandOtte public library has
received heck for $3.50 - Z. IN the
State Board for Libraries, according
TO Miss Hazel Adair, librarian. This
represent the final payment on a grant
Of Sl.S96.1S from the general library
fund.
year ago this month Governor
Murray ID. Van Wagner signed the
bill which made state aid for public
Libraries legal in Michigan. For tbs
year 194142 the Legislature has pro
vided $25OOO to improve existing Ii
brarieS i'll the state aud 10 develop
lew service.
The total allotment for grants from
the general library fund amounts 40
$500. by far the largest proportion
of the State-aid monies. Remaining
funds are being used To establish five
new county librarieS-in IOscO, Ma
son. MuSkegOn, Van Buren,, and Wex-
ford cOuntieS-and to equalize library
resources i'll all parts of the state.
These library grants are not hand
outs" Miss Adair points out. They are
Il lively incentive To local initiative.
To be eligible for its share in the gen
NAOA Auhu, lhC w pun
lie library had to have an apprOpria-
ton during its last fiscal year preced-
ing July 1, 1911. equal to or more
than the average of the last three fiS-
cal years.
Unprecedented wartime demands
make the state-aid grants dOubly wei
come. Practically every Michigan Ii
brary is setting up its books and staff
to serve as a war information center
where civilians find the latest infOr-
nation on such essentials as home de-
Tense. first aid. nursing, feeding the
family, gardening, and food preserva-
ton.
In many Libraries, defense workers
are sweeping the shelves bare Of tech
meal books. FOremen and instructors
ask help in retraining employees House
wives seek aid in stretching the hOnse-
hold dollar
Palatable recipes which go lightly
on the sugar bowl; substitutes for IA
toned and scarce commodities bud

guidance to parents with wartime
problems; vacation plans which spare
gasoline and tires; and consumer buy
ing hints-theSe any many similar
questions are being given substantial
answers at public libraries since the
nation frightened its belt at Pearl HOr
Dor.

More than .JOO,UU women now are
working in war industries and 1000
900 more will enter the ranks of war
production before the first of next
year. according 10 Charles NestOr.
manager of The WyandOtte office of

pand. qualified women will be refer
rt d. However. they first must register
with the employment service.
"IncludinS the urban women with no
children under Is years of age 10 care
for. there are more than 13Wo.OW
women reserve workers in the cOun-
try" Nestor says
If nurseries were provided TO care
for the younger children. there would
be more than 9.SOOW0 additional wO-
men workers. our combined labor and
armed forces total approximately 3D.,
100000 persons Making allowances
for those men taken into the armed
forces. and including the big reserve
of women workers. our potential work
force would total from 1OOO0.OO0 to

Fort Custer News

Fort Custer, July 16.-Enemy booty
traps will fool few Custer soldiers
after the course of instruction Just or
dered for here is completed. A ''bOOby
trap is the name given to bomb con-
trivanceS used by the enemy to wound
or kill thOughtleSS opponents. Training
films, lectures, and field manuals will
be used to show the soldiers here the
results Of such careleSsneSS.
Although BOBBY are not new
they could cause many casualties un-
less troops are trained to guard against
them. Every war produces such traps.
To teach our soldiers to recognize and
handle such dangers, training pro-
gram has been under way for some
time here.
The elementary BOBBY trap usually
consists Of a small charge of explosive.
either in slabs or in cartridge, with an
igniter worked by either the push or
pull method A discharge may be caus-
ed by stepping on puSh-type trap. or
by tripping over cord attached to a
pull-type. Traps may be connected TO
doors, windows, furniture, and sOuven-
irS. The enemy attempS TO place them
in unusual and unsupported places. in
side drawers, beds, cupbOards, etc.
The inside story of Dunkerque was
told to Fort Custer officers and men
Wednesday, when AdOlph Perry, for
mer French officer who participated in
that battle, came to Fort Custer as q
special lecturer on the War Depart.
ment OrientatiOn program. Over 1000
men heard Mr.. Perry at each of his
two lectures.
The speaker served as a French liai-
son officer with the 10Th division of in
fantry and participated in the battles

Robert W. Ford
Runs for Congress

Robert w. Ford, nephew Of Henry
Ford. has annOunc ID his candidacy Tor
Congress from the Sixteenth Con-
gressional district comprising Dear
born, Wayne, Belleville, River Rouge,
Wyandotte, and Trenton and the sur
rounding communities. in addition to
the Eighteenth and Twentieth wards
in Detroit. He will run on the Repub-
lican ticket.
In his statement formally opening
his campaign, which has actually been
under way for two weeks, Mr.. Ford
said:
Every American, officials and pri-
vate citizens alike, must be determiE-
eddy and entirely behind the United
Nations war effort. Until this war il
won none of Us must think Of any
thing else. Particularly, no one seek
ing national political office should
pretend that there is any other issue
even approaching the Importance of
winning this war.
Whoever the voters send to Con
gresS next fall must be an American,
and, being an American, he must be
heart and sOuld behind our war effort.
So the talk about 'hindering' the pros
ecutiOn Of the war by substituting new
congressman for political hacks who
have remembered only that they are
congressman and forgotten that they
are supposed to represent Of the peo-
pie of their district, is Just so much
bunk. We can win only by q united
war effort. A 'One political party war
effort does not mean q united effort
nor does 1t mean our best effort.
THE thing we are fighting for u
the maintenance of our form Of gov
eminent and that exists only by virtue
of free and intelligent electorate IL
you don't vote at all or if you fail %
cast an honest well considered vote,
you are helping to kill our form OF
government right here at home while
the armed forces are fighting for 1t
all over the world.
In all probability you will never
again vote in an election as important
as the one this fall. Your newspaper
brings you daily the story of world
wide conflict which spreads in area
and intensity every day. Your paper
also brings you facts Of the already
astounding and still growing cost and
problems of production and fogistics
your government faces.
1T is your plain duty to elect the
best men available to national Office
this fall. Follow the newspapers; keep
track of what is going on; check what
your congressman has done and what
he seems likely to do after election.
Above all, don't confuse mere tenure
in Office with experience. There Is all
the difference in the world between an
experienced man and one whose only
claim can be that he has been on the
payroll a long time"
Ford was born on q farm at the cor
ner OF Chase and Ford roads in Spring
weels township 46 years ago. This
property is now In Dearborn and
Ford's present home stands on part of
it. After finishing his early school
training he attended the Ford trade
school learning to be a tool and gauge
maker, and then worked in the Ford
factory for eight years until 1922. he
has been an automobile dealer In
Dearborn since 1923.
Mr.. Ford has a son and q daughter
and two small grandchildren

Chief Anselm
Warns Car Owners

Filt Chief Gustav Anselm urges
create precautions by owners and Op-
crates of private cars to protect them
from fire.
Tire tire shortage, the difficulty of
repla ling existing airs, and, in some
sections, new transportation problems
arising out of the necessary use Of cars
by workers going to and from defense
plants. make ii imperative To conserve
the cars We have against destruction
or damage by fire." he declared. In
Norma times. more than IL per cent
of al legitimate fire alarms in this
country are for car fires. With fewer
cars n the road, perhaps this figure
will pe reduced. But that will not
make The problem less serious for the
individual car owner.
Wv know by experience that the
older ears are more frequently involved
in fires. But with few simple pre-
cautioiis, any car can be made safe"
Chief Anselm made the following
sugge> lions for car owners to follow :
Keep your car in good mechanical
condition.
Have the ignition and lighting wiring
and connections checked by your gar
age man.
Make sure that fuel lines and con-
nectiOns are tight and that there is no
leak il the gasoline tank.
Keep the motor clean.
If yen smoke while driving, put out
cigarette and cigar stubs in the ash
receiver not on the floor of the car.
DO not throw lighted stubs out Of the
window
Carry fire extinguisher in your
car and know how TO use it. Most com
mercial vehicles are required by law
to have such equipment. The small
vapOrizing liquid extinguisher is suit
able because it can be used on burning
gasoline or oil, as well as on fires in
volvinS the ignition or wiring, and 1t
can be exposed to freezing tempera-

on. their ears and trucks may do SO
now at half price and these plates will
give them the right Of the use of the
roads until March l, 1913.
In making this announcement,
Harry +. Kelly. secretary of state, call
ed attention to the fact that this plan
follows the plans Of previous years
and particularly fits the needs Of the
mOtOriSt III this time due to the fact
that many commercial and passenger

ry growers and demands made through

Mr.. Kelly also stated that motorists
who have half year 1912 plates on
their ears may. from now OH convert
them into full year plates by going to
the branch Offices and purchasing u
metal strip 10 inches by IN inches
that will change the half year plate
into a full year plate without <requir-
ing. us in the past, the issuing of new
license numbers. The same half year
fee will he paid for the strip as in the
past This is the first year that the
half year plate will be converted into
Il full year plate by use Of a metal
strip.
Mr.. Kelly stated that this strip
bears IL serial number that will make
it possible for his office to determine
the actual ownership of each strip i'll
case of loss Or theft, and he concluded
hy thanking the motorists for their Co
operation in making it possible to con-
serve the use Of steel and the cost Of
manufacturing the plates and asks
their further cooperation be seeing to
il that these strips are firmly attached
To their half year plates.
