ACTIVITIES Of
CIVILIAN DEFENSE
ARE EXPANDED

The increasing demands of the war
effort have made ii necessary To eX-
pand the activities of the WyandOtte
Office of Civilian Defense. The main
effort of the OCD To date has been
concerned with the organization of the
protective services, now known aS the
Defense Corps. This service is now in
Il position 10 meet most any emergen-
cy arising from enemy attacks. This
makes it possible to take the next step
Ill mObilizing the city for war.
y. \. Payette. director. III annOunc-
ing the expansion of this office said,
The war effort is putting many new
burdens upon the social service or
CARNATIONS Of WyandOtte. In many
cases these are new tasks, Ill other
cases they are familiar ones, but now
greatly enlarged. In any case we must
protect our community from the dan
ger of breakdown from within rs well
as against attack from the outside.
This is recognized as part of the
responsibility Of the Office Of Civilian
Defense by the state and nation.
Therefore the following committee will
take charge, under this office, of the
many social service activities which
are included in the CD Service Corps.
This committee will have as members
Harold h. jacobson. chairman. w. r.
Newell. Richard Huegli and George
+. Hacker"
In discussing the program of the
committee Mr.. jacobson said, we re-
cOgniZe that WyandOtte is well organ
lied to provide social services for its
people in ordinary times. Under the
existing emergency we probably will
need To provide help for some Organi-
cation to enlarge their services. we
may need to help organize some new
agencies, but our main job will be To
help the existing agencies and organi-
cations coordinate their programs i'll
TO unified war effort.
I'VE hope that organizations now
engaged in community services will
continue in the fine work of helping H.
the great task of civilian defense Or
CARNATIONS which have not yet had
their programs approved by the Office
of Civilian Defense and those planning
to undertake new projects should sub
NIT such Fans to this committee if
want W az dp
proved agency in the civilian defense
program"
Under the new classification adopt
ed by the United States Office of Civ
ilian Defense the Service Corps. for

care. consumer service. family Secur-

Tribute Paid
Former Mayor

The Council. Tuesday night, unani-
mOusly adopted the following reSOlu-
ton. eulOgizing the public life of the
late Thomas A. Davis, former mayor
of WyandOtte
Resolved by the City Council Of the
city of WyandOtte
Ii is with profound regret that this
body takes official note of the passing
of former Mayor Thomas A Davis on
September -. 1912. Although he had
been seriously ill for several years
his condition was not regarded as crit
zeal and his death came as severe
shock To a host of friends who held
him in high esteem and affection, bjth
in his public and private life.
Born in Port Huron in 1879. Mr.
Davis came to WyandOtte in 1917
and became an official of a local in
dustry. Although without political am
bitiOn his upright character, rugged
honesty and business acumen were re-
cOgniZed by number of leading citi-
zenS. who prevailed upon him to Offer
his services as mayor after the I'M
timely death of Mayor Edwards.
Chosen To the highest office in the city
during period of economic stress, his
duties were unusually arduOuS but he
served with prudence, judgment and
ability. The citizens of WyandOtte
voiced their approval and appreciation
by returning him as chief executive in
1874. in 1896 and again in 1888, where
he served faithfully and well until i'll
health forced his retirement.
1t is the consensus of this body that
I'm int
degree the attributes most desirable
for the efficient administration Of gov
eminent. and those qualities or char
acter. Judgment. ability, kindly heart.
and fidelity to duty will long be re-
membered. Truly. by their fruits We
shall know them" Mr.. Davis was a
powerful force for good in the COM
munity and this Council believes his
public service should be permanently
recorded in the annals Of the City of
WyandOtte. therefore be 1t
iResOlved by the City Council of the
City of WyandOtte that the citizens
If the city. through us their repre-
sentatives. do hereby declare their
sense Of the great loss sustained III
the death of Mr.. Thomas A. Davis
and do acknowledge his unSelfish de-
vOtion to the best interest OF the pee
pie. and be ii further
Resolved that as an expression Of
sympathy. and to perpetuate the same
on the records Of the city, this resOlu-
tion be spread upon the journal ri
this days proceedings: and that the
Clerk be. and he hereby is directed t.
transmit a copy OF same to the family
Of the deceased.
