lnderSheriSS

Harley Ensign, undersberiff,
returned to his duties at the of
flee yesterday afternoon TO find
some solace in the fact that Will
l.. Lee, county school commits
sloner, had hurt his leg, too.
The two officials have much in

ated.
How did he hurt himself?"
he qucried, in regard to the
school commissioner.
He fell on the basement
stairs
The undersheriff looked elat-
ed.
Why, SO did I. What was he
doing?
He was going down to the
cellar and caught his heel on a
step
The undersheriffs grin widen
ed.
So did l, only l was going
up
But going up or going down,
he admitted, misery loves com
pany. He had been off work for
several days, due TO injuring the
ligaments in his right leg which
was badly fractured in an auto
wreck that kept him in the hos
pital for the greater part Of three
years.

Scouts Plan
Trip North
Will Be Guests Of
Judge Neil E. Reid

Detailed plans for the project
ed trip Of Boy Scouts and their
leaders to the Judge Neil E. Reid
estate on Drummond Island in
northern Lake Huron will be
discussed at a meeting of the
Macomb County Boy Scou
Council to be held Tuesday eve
ming, the judge said yesterday
afternoon.
A party of Is persons origi-
nally planned to make the trip
but that number may be cut
down owing to the higher cost of
the outing this year and the mat
ter of transportation, the Judge
said.
With living costs, especially
that of meat going up, the cost
Of the trip 10 the Boy Scout will
be little more than ii was last
year and just how we'll be fixed
for cars, don't know. Someone
will have to burn rubber getting
up there and | don't know how
many cars we'll take.
Originally it had been planned
to make the trip on Ford
freighter but the government
ruled that out and then it was
found that it was impossible
TO charter a bus for the trip,
earlier reports have revealed.

Blonde Just
Rolls Eyes
and Gurgles
BY JOSEPH l.. MYLER

WASHINGTON, April 25 -
(UP)-The blonde with the pink
hair ribbon gurgled and rolled
her eyes.
II just love the Marines" she
said. Mrs. Eva o. Steiner, a
buxom, gray-haired WON a n,
beamed tolerantly and retorted,
"all of our girls love the Ma
rincs.
Our girls" are the moro than
10000 federal employees, IS TO
40, presently enrolled in the
women's battalion, which Mrs
Steiner heads. They also love
soldiers, sailors, jecps and dane
ing, but not necessarily in the
order named.
The battalion, which attracted
the blonde because she wants 10
go dancing at the Quantico, Va,
Nj airline base, was organized
about a year ago by the local
defense council with the approx
al Of an understanding Uncle
Sam.
It is a boy-meets-girl enter
prise, the sole-if doublc-barrcl-
ed-function Of which is to pro-
vide entertainment for lonely
government girls and feminine
companionship for men in uni
form.
Practically every night in the
week girls Of the W. b. act as
dance hostesses at nearby mill
tary camps or at parties for
service men here. In most in
stances they 20 TO camp dances
in chartered buses, but the boys
at Fort Haines always send for
them in iCepS
The girls just love 10 ride
in jeeps," Mrs. Steiner said.

Red Wagons
Return Cheers
Childish Hearts

Childish hearts were happy
around SO Leslie street this
morning as Billy Lemp and
Donna Pringle played with the
red metal and rejuvenated ex-
press wagon that they lost day
before yesterday during the
course of a trip to the store for
penny candy.
The two children, both three
years Of age, are the son and
boarder, respectively Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Alfred Lamp at the Leslie
street address.
The missing wagon was re-
turned TO them last night short
~ after a couple who reside In
Miller street near Cass avenue
read a story about the missing
vehicle in The Monitor Leader.
They had found it in front of
their house and at first believed
il TO be the property of some
children next door IN a four
family flat. The tongue of the
wagon had come loose which
was why Billy and Donna aban-
doned it on their way home from
the store-and the husband of
the Miller street couple fixed
the tongue back onto he wagon
He had just nicely finished
the job when his wife showed
him the paper.
The children had lost their
wagon while in quest Of candy
So the couple not only brought
back the wagon but they
brought along a box Of candy for
Billy and Donna.
So childish hearts are happy
around 50 Leslie street and Mrs
Lemp is wondering about three
things, first the kindness anC
thoughtfulness of strangers; sec
ond, how the two youngsters
managed to get so far from homo
and still find their way back,
and third, why, in the excite
ment and pleasure Of getting the
wagon back, she neglected TO
get the name Of the considerable
couple.
