800 Attend
Mission Series
Catholics Open
Services Sunday

Approximately 800 Catholic
and non-Catholic women were
present at the Mission Services
conducted by the Paulist Fathers
on Sunday evening at st. Peters
Church.
The Mission opened on Sunday
morning when Fathers Doyle
and West preached the sermons
at all the Masses. The first week
of the Mission is for women only
and will be followed by a week
for the men.
Weekday Masses during the
Women's Mission will be cele-
brated at $50, 500 and 900
o'clock. The Mass at 8 o'clock is
for the school children. Evening
services begin promptly at 7:45
and consits of prayers, answering
of questions. community singing
sermon and Benediction of the
Blessed Sacrament.
A question box has been
placed at the rear of the church.
1t offers those who make the
Mission an excellent opportunity
to have their problems solved
and their doubts erased without
their identity being revealed.
The Paulist Fathers have for
years distinguished themselves
by their skill in answering ques-
tons which came to them
through the medium of the
Question Box.
On Sunday evening Father
West spoke on THE purpose of
life. He stated that too many
Christians take their salvation
for granted. They are too absorb
ed in the problems of daily life
to be able to give sufficient time
to the matter of their salvation.
AS a working solution to the
problem of saving our souls, the
missionary suggested that we de-
vote at least as much time and
energy to religion as we give to
recreation.

T6dt, Famed Hitler Aide,
Killed In Air Accident
CONSTRUCTION Wixord's Deoth
% Meuvned by Germon People

BH1sLN (From German
Broadcasts), Feb. 9-(R)-Major
General Fritz Todt, who literally
paved the way for Adolf Hitler's
armies, has been killed on the
Eastern front.
With wide, black bands Of
mourning, the German press told
its readers today that the famed
Todt was killed in an air acct
dent yesterday "while carrying
through his military tasks in the
East"
He was so years old.
Todt, who was Reichsminister
of Munitions as we'll as con-
struction wizard, has been pre-
sented to the Germans as the
master builder, the super-en-
gineer, ever since his completion
of the Siegfried Line to guard
Germany's Western front.
A state funeral was ordered
in his honor.

was stalled and not even Todt
could smooth a way through the
stubborn Russians, the trackless
wastes and the mounting snow.
A LIMOS everyone who saw
Todt's handiwork acknowledged
that he was indeed an engineer
of the first order and an organ
izer of talent. The work of his
organization in putting down
bridges to replace the hundreds
dynamited by the Dutch, Bel
gians and French drew praise
from even his country's enemies.
Todt was the fourth high-plac-
ed Nazi to die in unusual circum-
stances since the war began.
Less than three months ago,
Col. Gen. Ernst Udet, brilliant
designer for the German air
force, died "while testing a Sc
cret weapon"
Col. Gen. Werner Won Fritsch,
who had fallen into ill graces of
Hitler as chief of staff of the
army, died in action in Poland
while on patrol task ordinarily
assigned a subordinate.
Field Marshal Walther Won
Reichenau died last month of a
heart attack" while on the de-
fensive with his troops in the
Ukraine.
Todt's greatest monument is
the Siegfried Line, or west wall,
which never was tected by bat
tie.
Soon after the conquest of
Poland he transferred his legions
of laborers to the east and began
to lay the roads and build the
defenses which Hitler demanded
there.
Although the German press
spoke of an East WALL" inform
ed sources said it was unlikely
that Todt did anything more
than improve the roads and COM
munications and build the mini
mum dcfenses w h CHI Hitler
needed on the Russian frontier
for the historic settlement with
Bolshevism."
Todt Joined Hitler in the early
days of the Nazi government. In
school, he had specialized in
roadbuilding and received the
degree of doctor of engineering.
He served in the World War and
was wounded while acting as
aerial observer.

Blow on Coast
Fifth CoIumnists Nay
Strike, Dies Soys

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9-(R-
The Dies Committee asserting
that a Japanese fifth column
awaits only Tokyo's orders to
strike on the Pacific Coast, plans
to demand that all Japanese be
uprooted from west coast states
and informed at least 500 miles
inland.
"Shinto Temples still operate,
propaganda outlets still dissc-
inmate propaganda material and
Japanese, both alien and Ameri-
can citizens, still spy for the
Japanese government" the Com
mittee says in the first draft of
a yellow paper" which it prob
ably will make public in about
two weeks.
Chairman Dies (D-Tex) said
yesterday Justice Department
orders ousting Japanese from
certain Pacific coast areas of vi
tai defense Importance had not
been completely effective. Under
protection of Civil Rights" he
said, Japanese were making
ready espionage such as smooth
ed the way for the sneak attack
on Pearl Harbor.
The Committees tentative re-
port says Japanese still live near
oil wells, aviation plants, pipe
lines, tunnels and aqueducts.
1t adds that during the Pearl
Harbor attack Japanese blocked
streets with furniture, drove
trucks into military airplanes
and disabled automobiles of
army and navy officers.
Figures are not available on
the number of Japanese living
within 500 miles of the Pacific
coast but the Justice Department
estimates there are 100000 jap
anese, Germans, and Italians in
California, Oregon, Washington,
Nevada, Arizona, Montana, Utah
and Idaho. More than half Of
these enemy aliens are japanese.

trucks reported delays in the
first routes as farmers coaxed
cows to meet the deadline.
Chickens also went on a minor
no set-down" strike and eggs
rolled off the line at pretty much
the same old Sun time.
EASY TRANSITION
In the schools, no unusual
amount of hardness was report
ed by Superintendent l.. Wade
Fast. However, the easy transi-
ton to the new time was paved
by letters sent to the home of ev-
cry student, in which the change
over was explained from the
schools viewpoint. School open
ed today at the same hour by the
clock as previously and home
routine followed the same pat
tern.
Principal Monte McFarlane Of
Mount Clemens High reported
no hitch in the change-over but
foresaw difficulties with the
start of next years term in
September. He said that approx
imately $50 students from the
rural sectors would be arriving
in school in pre-dawn dark.
A plan to shorten the number
of class room periods from eight
TO seven is also complicated by
inadequate cafeteria facilities for
the heavy enrolment of l,400
students, he said.
Business establishments noted
that despite the opening for bust
ness at the usual time according
to the clock, there was no great
rush OF early shoppers. They
surmised that persons who could
shop at their leisure were taking
an extra hours sleep.
All communities in Macomb
County kept step with the
change to the daylight saving
time" although three Michigan
were an hour be-
hind the states official clocks.
Holland and iceland, in south
Michigan, remained on
Eastern Standard time. Residents
of those cities contended that
they were properly in the Cen
trail time zone, and that for them
Eastern Standard was, in fact,
Central War time.
Their City Councils took for
NAL action last week in step
with the Grand Rapids City
Commission. The Grand Rapids
City Fathers rcscinded their &C
ton in a special meeting Satur-
day, but both Holland and Zee
land stood pat.
Mayor William Jennings Of
Bad Axe said that his commun-
ity, in Michigan's Thumb, would
also remain on the old Standard
time in the belief that the Legis-
lature, which adopted Eastern
time as official for the entire
state, would change its mind and
restore the whole state TO the
Central time zone.
Bad Axes mayor said, how
ever, that the council would meet
tonight to decide whether 1t
would cause less confusion to
observe War time pending pos
siblc legislative action.
Other towns in Huron Coun-
ty, however, moved their clocks
ahead to War time.
