Service Hints
for Chevrolet
Rose is Dealer
in Mount Clemens

Shifting of tires, utilizing the
spare, is recommended by Chew
rolet every 5000 miles. The ap-
proved shift is: Right front tire to
spare compartment; spare tire
to right rear; right rear to left
front; left front to left rear; and
left rear to right front.
Another unit Of the car high
lighted by conditions is the bat
terry. Servicing can assure bat
terry life of at least two years.
Water should be added weekly
in the summer, every other week
during the winter. When long
daylight runs are made, water
must be added more frequently.
A discharged battery will freeze
at q little below 80 degrees; q
fully charged battery will not
freeze.
An inefficient carburetor
wastes fuel. A check-up twice a
year is recommended to be sure
Of proper adjustment, to check
on proper setting Of octane Sc
lector and to see that the sedi-
ment bulb is clean.
Correct use of the choke is an
other matter of importance to the
driver. If improperly handled,
the choke may seriously affect
the life of the engine by the
thinning effect of unburned gas
oline leaked by the pistons into
the lubricating oil. When neces-
sary to start q cold engine, use
the choke sparingly; do not use
it If the engine retains any heat
from previous running and will
start on q normal fuel mixture.
Service experts are of the
opinion that the life of the av-
erage car, driven by the average
owner, can be increased from
one to three years with the ex-
ercise of greater care in the op-
GRAFTON of the vehicle. Arthur

vIdory Garden
Campaign Planned
Speaker to ExpIein
Need for Govdens

The interest in gardening is
approaching the level reached in
the first World War. Better food
habits should include not only
a much wider use Of milk, eggs,
and meat, but also fruits and
vegetables for the protective and
health building elements they
yield.
From the standpoint of effic-
ency and conservation of seed
supplies, fertilizer, and spray
materials, vegetable production
is usually better handled by
farmers and small-town and
suburban gardeners who have
suitable facilities, opportunities,
and experience.
Arrangements to have been
made by County Agent Murphy

sion specialist in Vegetable Gar

Complications
SurroundSwitch
TO Horse Power

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 9R-
It sounded 50 simple-beating
the tire and truck shortage with
horses.
But actually it's q pretty COM
plicated business and not the
least of the complications is get
ting Dobbin to and from work.
A grocery chain, caught with
thin tires, decided on the change.
Operating in the exclusive West
port and Country Club districts,
four miles from the nearest stab
ling facilities, the operators dis
covered that's quite q jaunt.
So now as the store executives
pile off q street car (1907 vim
tage) the equine staff members
step haughtily from . truck
trailer, (l941 model) and stroll
over to the waiting wagons in
the back lot fresh for a days
work.
And those wagons were some
thing of a headache. They don't
make 'em any more.
One that served a Westport
grocer more than half a century
ago was hauled out of storage
and wired together. No one
could explain how it happened to
survive those years of progress.
Others were located at Bonner
Springs and White Church, Kas.,
and Linkville, Mo-, shipped to
Kansas City and reconditioned
with 40-year-old parts.
Several old fashioned hitching
weights were found in an an
tique shop. A common rock had
to serve one wagon-the an
tiques were scarce.
The troubles didn't end there.
The present generation of high
school students never saw any
thing like it. The delivery boys
have been swamped with pleas
for just one ride in the wagon.
It's pretty hard to say NO." e.
pecially when some of the petit
TONERS may be from customers
families.
The horses seem to me the on
ly ones undisturbed by the whole
business. A motorist backed into
one and the staid horse merely
stepped up onto the curb until
the driver pulled away.

Plan Surrey
of Womanpower
in Portland

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. O.
R-Six thousand volunteer
workers will start a house-to-
house survey of Oregon woman
power next Monday.
While men from 20 to A years
Of age sign up for the military
draft that day, women will be
registered for wartime jobs.
BY March 1, three weeks be-
fore England completes its regis
tration of women, the Oregon
Board for the mobilization Of
labor. expects to have a complete
catalogue of the skills and abil-
tiles of every woman over ID
years of age.
Women will not be required to
pledge work, but they will be
tell interviewers of jobs they
have held and whether they will
be available for full or part-time
work.
One immediate need for
womanpower is in the farm
fields where q labor shortage en-
dangers what Is expected to be q
record food crop.
L. G. Stoll, State Employment
Director, predicts that the sur
vey of women will solve the
farm labor problem, and has ad-
vised farmers to 60 ahead with
increased paintings, but he esti-
mates that another $4,000 men
will be needed in the next six
months because of expanding
Oregon shipyards, industrial
plants and army construction.
Women cannot fill those posi-
tons, but they will be called on
to replace the service station at
tendants and store clerks who
transfer to war production.
Children will be registered
eventually as q labor reserve.
Tentative registration Is planned
for March for students above
the seventh grade.

THE WALKING PIGEON
We are indebted to

We are indebted to Mrs.
Arie Guldemond, the former
Ann DeGroot, for the strange
story Of the walking pigeon.
Incidentally, Mrs. Guldemond's
excellent poem, "How Green
Is My valley" appears else
where in today's issue.
The story concerns the Theo-
dore Jastrzembowski family,
now living on Riverview, just OFF
the North River road in Harri-
son township. The Jastrzembow-
skis took to raising hominG
pigeons several years ago when
they lived on Farnsworth in De-
troit.
They gave Z pigeon to some
friends named Krymski, who
then lived on Helen street,
three miles distant from Farms
worth. The pigeon promptly
flew back to the Jastrxembow-
ski home on Farnsw0rth.
The pigeon was returned to
the Krymskis, this time with
clipped wings so it couldn't fly
Its feet swollen and bleeding, the
weary pigeon appeared at the
Jastrzembowski door q week
later. The bird apparently has
trudged the streets of Detroit
for three full days in search OF
its master.
When the Jastrxembowskis
moved to Macomb county, they
brought 50 h0ming pigeons

Tough Killed
by Detective
SsIf-Styled Bod

SI1lSaNO, req. S-tH1-A
self proclaimed neighborhood
tough got into the wrong neigh
borhood early yesterday, met up
with straight shooting police
detective and didn't live to re-
count his latest foray into crime.
The last wild exploits of
Joseph Skupien, who police said
spent about one third of his life
in prisons, were in a tavern and
police station in the sprawling
stockyards district. They ended
with the 26-year- old ex-convict
lying dead on the police station
floor, only a few hours after two
men had been slain in a tavern
holdup.
Shortly after the tavern shoot
ing, Skupien walked into the
new city police station early
yesterday morning. He waved a
pistol and shouted:
I'm going to rescue by part
ner. I'll get those dirty squeal-
ers."
Sergeant Joseph Connolly
stepped toward him but the en-
ragged Skupien, firing one shot
wildly, dashed into the squad
room where 10 witnesses to the
tavern killings were awaiting to
be questioned by detectives.
Bruno Jachmyak, %, was being
Intercepted by police about the
Sayings.
Skupien forced two women in
front of him, lined up several
other persons, including q report
er, against the wall and backed
up against q staircase. He threat
ened to kill any detectives who
came into the room.
Meanwhile, detective John
Leahy was proceeding to effect
Skupien's capture. He was In q
room near Sergt. Connelly's and
learned of Skupien's plot. He
dashed upstairs, went through
a suite of officers on the second
floor, and crept down three steps
to a landing directly above Sku-
pien, on the stairs in the squad
room.
With his pistol about 10 feet
from the ex-convict's head, the
AZ year old officer fired two
shots. Skupien wheeled and fired
four times, two of the shots
slightly wounding two witnesses.
Leahy then fired twice more.
killing Skupiep. .,.,b
During the excitement, Leahy
himself narrowly escaped death,
an unidentified detective firing
at him. A squad of detectives
rushed into the room from an
other entrance and Leahy was
not Immediately recognized. A
member of the department for
IA years, Leahy has been on the
detective squad for five years.
The prelude to the police sta
ton shooting occurred when two
men invaded q tavern Saturday
night and killed two Mexicans
several patrons rushed at the
gunner with the apparent inten-
ton of disarming them.
Police described both Skupien
and Jachmyak as neighborhood
tough guys" and criminals since
their teens.

story goes, flew each day to
their former home on Farms
worth, only to return between
noon and 100 pm. to the

The pigeons lunched and bath

yard for a full week. Then for
two days the Polish couple was

THE FULL SUGAR EAG
We were shocked to learn from
a number of grocers that a few
local families have as much as
1900 pounds of sugar stored in
their Easements. Others are
h oar in g from 800 to 1000
pounds of the stuff.
Not unlikely in the future
Is search Of Easements by the
federal government. Also pos
sible Is passage Of . law max
ing the boarding Of sugar q
federal offense punishable by
. prison term.
Since sugar is q household es-
sential, a shortage inspired by
historical housewives is, we
think, nothing short of criminal.
Moreover, grocers tell us that
sugar, If not used within q rea-
sonable time, becomes rock
hard. In that state, the stuff Is
q total loss.
Much more amusing Is the
campaign Of . local house
wife" to corner the ripe olive
market. OF her folks are apt
to say, There goes Mrs. So
