the local draft boardSA It's boaro
No. S II you want 70 check up or
iitt yourself -
A man was reclaSSified from
ga 10 IA, and he said he wanted
10 file an appeal
Il have 20 support my
mother" he said.
The draft board however. knew
a few things about him and re-
Piled: You're supporting her with
the welfare check that you get
aren't you
He admitted n.
$50" they said, "you don't
have 10 support her. The welfare
check might as well be made out
20 her, and YOU will be available
for the army"
He still baked. No" he said
81 can't. I've got 10 stay home be-
cause my mother wants me 10 get
the check for her and bring II
home.
He might he IA in the army
but hes not Al in most people 5
hearts.
ON THE OTHER HAND. There
IS another story 10 take the bad
taste out of your mouth. A girl
named Mildred drives a station
wagon for the Red Cross Blood
Bank, and she went out 10 a de-
Tense factory 10 pick up men who
were being given time off TO do
nate blood.
Afterward they decided 10 stop
at a place near by for pick-me-
up, a malt beverage but l don't
mean matted milk.
After the first round they dis
covered Mildred sitting behind
them, not saying anything, but
just waiting.
'Tt's all right, sister" they
said good-naturedly. you can
run along. Wen get back all
right"
"Ne," said Mildred firmly.
"My job was to pick up you fell
lows and deliver you, and I'll do
IL II have TO wait all day and
all night"
. The fellows lasted through an
other drink, but the feeling of
Mildred's eyes boring into their
backs was too much. They got up
and filed sheepishly into the sta
ton wagon. Mildred delivered
them back to the plant.
NOTES AROUND TOWN: Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh, notably shy
when IL comes 10 publicity, isn't a
recluse as people seem to think.
It's Just because he ducks pub
licity and not because he wants TO
hide away. For instance, he has
attended a number of meetings of
engineering societies since he's
been in Detroit. and has specified
only that they don't single him out
for publicity. Engineers who have
met him at these meetings say
that he warns up and joins in the
conversation like anybody else. He
is not much Of a hand at touting
his own ideas, but evidently enjoys
sitting in on general round-tables.
The United Artists sign. which
reads: Now Now Mrs. Miniver." y
still bothers me. Sounds too much
like a reproach. "Now-now, Mrs.
Miniver." Makes you want TO run
in and say. There, there. Mrs.
Miniver. don't let these movie peo-
pie bother you"
Newest time-killer for down.
towners who want to stay out in
the sun on their lunch hours is
watching that cigaret billboard
which is visible from Grand Cir
Gus Park. The billboard carries a
picture of a soldier who blows
smoke rings out over the park
puffs of steam that are blown
through a hole in the billboard.
Presumably he keeps on blowing
his smoke rings all night, too.
Anyway, he's still at it at mid
night.
Another sign of the war-the
Statler Hotel will put a crew of
elevator girls 10 work Monday.
Can't get enough men for the job,
and even when they get a few,
can't keep them long before they
20 into the army or into the war
plants.
