FAILURE MEANS ACTION
Final failure of the voluntary

order from Henderson setting ur
"a rent division of the OPA in De.
troit, which would operate in the
following fashion:
Each landlord in the area
would be required TO register with
the rent division of the OPA in
Detroit listing the rental on each
piece of property or apartment as
of April /, 1941.
A copy of the registration blank
would then be forwarded to the
tenant with the expectation that

lord reduce the rent 10 the Apri

of that or if the landlord had no

Any refusal by the landlord Il
comply would entitle the tenan

landlord of the law. Failure L

just Try
To Buy
Sugar!
BY WILLIAM A. FLEMING

sugar, eh. YOu-Mant- He-te
sell you four pounds of sugar.
Listen, mister, I wouldn't sell
you a pound OF the stuff for
$1,000"
And so it went today as your
made "a two hour tour OF
Detroit neighorhood' stores trying
to get few pounds of sugar. Sore
feet, yes. Sunburn. sure. Sugar,
NO.
At midnight Monday night all
sugar sales were frozen through
out the nation, the ban to last un-
til May 5. So, to see if the little
store-keepers were cooperating
and to see how they felt about the
whole thing. your reporter went
for a little walk.
READ THE PAPERS
"You should learn to read the
paper and see what's going on.
It's guys like you that make
this rationing program tough
for u.s." was the remark of one
store-keeper. on West Warren
avenue, near CaSs.
Others were very sorry. Yes
they had sugar on hand but they
were told not to sell it. So they
didn't sell il. One kind old lady
who owns a store on Hamilton
avenue. asked just how short OF
sugar we were. After stammerine
for a minute we told her it was
pretty bad.
I'll tell you what I'll do" she
said, "Pll go into the back and
give you a cup of my own" Very
much embarrassed we backed
out, muttering something about
using saccharine until the whole
thing blew over.
FIFTH COLUMNIST'
Even the added attraction of two
little dirty faced children who
walked into one store on CaSs ave.
nue. with us didn't bulge the store.
keeper.
SORRY" he said.
One fellow out on Woodward
avenue wasn't so kind and as we
went out. very red of face. he said
something about fifth columnist.'
Oh, well. as the fox said of the
grapes. Il didn't want the darn
stuff anyway"
So TO get my sugar it looks as
III / am going to have TO line VI
with other Detroiters on May a
5, 6 and z.
But even II I have 10 stand In
line for the whole four days e
register for my ration book it will
be a lot easier than what i went
through today.
Brother. it pays TO be honest!

Blanks
Sent Parents
From Schools

Blanks, giving preliminary In
formation for sugar rationing,
today were being distributed
through public and parochial
schools in Wayne County to speed
up the registration of 100000
sugar users from May to z.
The blanks were given school
children TO take home to their
parents, TO be filled in and pre-
sented to the registrars wheRe
they appear TO sign up for RATION
ing books.
The data is such that can be
gathered beforehand to facilitate
such as height, weight
and personal description of each
member of the family
'If we walt until registration
Is actually under way, the task
Of securing all that information
would be terrific" Caspar ].
Lingeman, county rationing
chairman explained. I'VE ex-
pect to cut down considerably
the time for each registrant by
this simple blank. Each men,
Der of a family who registers
can bring the slip with him or
her and hand IL in to be copied
on the FORMS"
DEALERS REGISTERED
For those who do not get a
preliminary blank through a
school child, Lingeman advised
clipping the sample out of The
Detroit Times and filling il in.
Lingeman at the same time
issued a warning to trade and in
Istitution registrants to sign up
Immediately so that they can be
given allotments.
Registration for retailers, whole
SalerS, confectioners, etc, began
yesterday, but the response was
slow. Only 500 had signed up 10
late afternoon although the high
schools were prepared to handle
several times that number.
There are no penalties at
tached to failure to register"
stated Lingeman, "but no allot-
ments will be issued those who
do not sign up. Then II they
sell beyond what would have
been their allotment, they will
be subject to prosecution.
at il imperative that the
trade register not later than
tonight. Although the order
provides that they may also
register with the board, we will
not be able to handle any regis
trations until after we have
issued rationing books to con-
sumers and that may be a mat
ter Of 80 days"

This is splendid idea,"
Mayor Jeffries commented. THE

ODE TO A SHEIK

All, sharp brown boy with broad-brim hat,
Draped a la zoot from head to spat
Though you conceive yourself unique,
Thy garb is really quite antique.
Your padded shoulders speak finality,
But, son, you lack originality.
Ah togged-down boy, hot as hornet,
Beale Street in your vogue's incarnate;
Those full-fown pants with pleats so rect
Are long-lost echoes from Basin Street.
Though Esquire's never told you so,
Your style was fashioned long ago.
Dandies, sweetbacks, gay humdingers
Too were tailored in jib-swingers.
Beau Brummells, lights and heavies,
CARRIED as you, burned up the levees.
They had no zippers at the cuff
But nevertheless were mellow stuff
Is it by mark of Bedouin
You wear two suits instead O. one?
Pray, tell us are you helped by elves
To get those bottoms past your twelves?
How in these days of conservation
Do you get by with double ration?
That long key chain hung round your hip
Must someday build battleship.
Your elders say you have no care,
All, that is false, you've grief to spare:
You could not wear such gladstone raiment
Without the thought of next weeks payment
James T. Logan.
