$4,000 CALLS DAILY
AS an indication of the strain
on telephone facilities here, Win
slow revealed that the numbers
of both long distance and local
calls have climbed to new
peaks at Mount Clemens. The
volume of calls is now averag-
ing more than $4,000 a day al

The number of telephones ir
the community also has riser
rapidly. There now are nearly
$500 in service, a gain of more
than SIS since the first of The
year.
These restrictions are en-
tirely due to the war;" Winslow
said. Materials that normally
could be used in the manufac-
ture of equipment to relieve the
situation until dial service starts
are now going into the making
of guns, tanks, ships, planes
and other weapons of war.
RESERVE FACILITIES
"Of course, this does not
mean that we have no spare IA

necessary to reserve sufficient
facilities with which to provide
service for those persons abso.

THE company has geared it:
operations to the national policy

we regret the necessity for the
restriction of installations for the

past. But now, and for the dura

Mrs. Horvath, who was MARI
ed Dec. 7, 1910, to a US. Army
sergeant, at Columbus, said that
her husband was discharged
from the service Nov. IL, 1941,
and is now employed as mach
mist in Cleveland. She said that
she can now provide a proper
home for the child and wants it
with her.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Horvath as
we'll as the Hoges and baby Pa
tricia were in court during this

journed at loo p. m. until Fri
day morning at 10 o'clock.
No evidence had been intro
duced during the morning to
subStantiate the claim of the re-
spondent's counsel that he would
show that the reason Mrs. Hor-
vath wanted the child was to aid
her husband in lodging the
draft.
HOME INFLUENCE
Attorneys for the defense tao
lily admitted that Mrs. Horvath
is the actual mother but insisted
that the real question up for de-
termination is which home, the
Horvath's or the Hoge's, would
provide the best influence for
the child.

Freight Train

NEW YORK-(CALVIN'S NEWS
SERVICE can now be tolo tllaC
the success of Edward Tyler, oeep
basso baritone who recently oe-
buted at Cafe Society Downtown,
depended on % cents! He related
his experiences in an interview
lokingly, while putting clgaretVe
at the YMCA this week.
Young Tyler came from Eu1alu-
la Alabama, 60 miles down from
Tuskegee. After graduating from
Tuskegee Institute, 71a years ago,
where he majored in England
Literature and Languages, ne re-
turned to Eufalula where he mas

left. with the % cents. Tyler rode
the freights to Cleveland, Ohio, ana
there spent his % cents on what
they call the hobo lunch. With no
money he went to the Wayfarer's
Lodge and washed his shirt.
With success in mind, and know
ing he could sing, Tyler went
straight to Mr.. MARCEL Salzinger,
famous German teacher. Salzlnger,
in turn, took him to a wealthy
philanthropist, who interested in his
career, gave him a $1,000 scholar
ship to study with Salzinger and
took him under her wing. While
with the Cleveland Institute OF
Music he sang at the Worlds Fair
in 1910.
A few months ago, Tyler thought
he was ready for New York, but
while waiting for the big chance,
he was a photographers runner at
the "51 Club" Then he got a
chance to sing for Barney JOS
ephson, owner of the twin Cafe So
cieties. Tyler got the job in one
addition.
The baritone sings the type OF
music that appeals to any music
lover, arias, folk songs in several
languages and spirituals. He plans
to introduce excerpts from operas
later on. On his first night at
Cafe Society, July %, he sang to
in his voice that a pin could have
been heard. When he finish his
indefinite run at the night spot,
ne intends to devote full time to
concert work and follow in the
footsteps of Paul Robson.
Edward Tyler says he probably
would be down in Alabama right
now, still picking cotton if it
hadn't been that when he was
fifteen years old, he honestly be-
Heved that he could sing!
