Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-11-12

More than 10000 marchers filed
past thousands of spectators IN
Detroit's 1912 parade comment
Grating Armistice Day.
But il was the absence of
things they had become accus-
toned TO that impressed the
crowds lining Woodward avenue
from Peterboro street TO Jefer-
son avenue.
Gone from this streamlined
celebration of the end of a great
war was the festive horseplay Of
marching veterans.
Gone was the showoff maneuv-
ering of crack marching units. No
strains of "Mademoiselle" blasted
from the bands. Marchers were
older or younger than they
usually were.
EVEN SETTING CHANGED
Even the setting had changed
so war production would not be
slowed by a daytime march of
workers.
Long before s o'clock spectators
gathered in the chilling wind TO
watch the parade. The first
units began to pass the reviewing
stand at Woodward and Michigan
avenues at els.
Two hours later the last unit
passed before Mayor Edward j.
Jeffries, other city officials, army
officers. veterans. and division
marshals in the stands.
CROWD MOSTLY SERIOUS
During the long march the
crowd was largely serious.
The passing of 1000 sailors
drought cheersurom the crowd.
Screaming high school girls
hailed high school ROTC cadets
the boys who soon will reach their
eighteenth birthday and Join their
brothers in the army and navy.
But there was no raucouS
cheering for the hundreds of
American flags that passed, car
ried by soldiers from Fort Wayne
and Fort Custer. Instead there
was the reverend hand over the
heart from the women and the
removal of hats by the men.
There were marching bands of
schools and other organizations,
some of them led by drum major
cites, their bare legs made purple
by the cold.

HATHAWAY
Floats. this year devoted to the
purchase of war bonds and safety,
were followed by marching de-
tense workers.
Included in this group were the
women plant protection groups,
officials believe TO be the only
organization of its kind in the
country.
Air raid wardens and other OCD
units also marched.
After the parade some specta-
tors and marchers wondered how
soon the United Nations would
make possible an even greater
Armistice Day.

Mccain, 22-year-old holdhp man,
is 10 be prosecuted for his escapet

court cell on October 30. right
after he had been sentenced to-
from III 10 10 years for the
holdup of a shoe store, surren-
dered 10 police at a bowling alley
at 5000 Woodward avenue.
His surrender resulted in a per-
sonal investigation by Police Com
missioner John II. WitherspoonI
after McCann's mother charged
that Inspector William Dresden,
head of the holdup squad, had
agreed not TO prosecute him for
escaping if he would give him
self up.
AGREEMENT DENIED
This was denied by Dresden,
who pointed out that he had no
authority to make any such state
ment. q
Mccain, who is married and the
father of 2-month-old child. also
denied knowing anything about an
agreement.
Meanwhile, McCann revealed
for the first time, in CONVERSE
ton with Witherspoon, how he
had made his escape from the
court buifpen.
"a policeman had taken a
prisoner out" he said. "He shut
the door and slid the bolt but
1t didn't go into the slot.
81 waited a few minutes and
then walked out the door"
SLEPT IN THEATERS, CARS
Since his escape he said he had
been sleeping in theaters and
parked cars.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

One night man heard bump
ing noise downstairs. There was
bump. then a short silence and
another bump.
Downstairs he slipped to see what
was wrong. The noise seemed to
come from the cellar stairway.
Flashing on light, he caught sight
of a rat 1t scampered to safety, but
halfway down the stairs it left the
thing which had been making the
noise, large potato! The rat had
taken it from sack of potatoes on
the first floor of the house, and

Middle Ages. Sick rats were bitten
by fleas, and the feas bit people,
giving them the disease.
Asia seems to nave been the first
home of rats, but they were carried
to Europe more than 700 years ago.
It is believed that black rats got
aboard vessels of the Crusaders and
were taken to italy, France and
other parts of Southern and West
ern Europe.
Brown rats are larger than the
black ones. They reached Europe
about 200 years ago. To some ex-
tent, they made war on the black
rats. and took away their homes.
After the first wave of rats in
Europe, people grew worried as to
how to get rid of them. Certain
men took up the business of rat
catchers" and travelled from town
to town. They did what they could
to rid each town Of rats, and were
paid for their work.
The most famous Of all the rat
catchers came to be the so-called
pied Piper" A legend grew up
that he entered the town of Hamel
Cor Hamelin), in Prussia, and was
promised a large amount of money
If he would rid it of all the rats.
To the surprise of the people, he
charmed the rats with music, and
they ran into the river, where they
were drowned. Not being paid his
promised reward, the Pied Piper
charmed the children of the town
and led them away. So goes the
story, but no rats of today will
swarm out OF houses and drown
themselves to the tunes Of a bag
pipe.

it to the basement, no doubt as

The man told me about the event
soon after 1t happened, and the
smartness of the rat interested me.
The potato was too large to be
carried away, so it was pushed down
the stairs step by step.
Rats have been problem to the
human race for centuries. They
are a danger to the food supply in
house and, much worse, they
spread disease. The terrible illness
called the Black Death was spread
