Fern Collin, l9-year old Busch
high school senior at Center Line
has probably had more than her
share Of commendable thrills,
but she was fairly vibrant with
delight at the one she received
yesterday when she .eCeived a
$3.50 scholarship from the Wom-
ans National Farm and Garden
Association.
The award, based on her out
standing performance as a Al
club member and leader is the
only one TO be awarded in the
state Of Michigan by the nation
al association, but that honor
isn't even half of the thrill Miss
Collin received.
The real JOY for her is found
i'm the fact that receiving the
award definitely assures her of
attending Michigan State Col
lege next fall. When she gets
there she'll take Home Econo-
mics and major in teaching.

Union Sues
brS2O0,OOO
in Drain Bonds

The international Typograph-
ical Union, one Of the oldest in
the country, representing the
printing crafts, shocked the
Board of Supervisors and the
county Drain Office into alert
ness yesterday when il served a
summons on the county to APP
pear in a suit brought TO try TO
collect principal and interest on
100000 worth Of drain bonds
owned by the union.
The bonds are those issued to
finance the construction of the
Martin Drain i'm Erin and Lake
townships, the latter not en-
tirely included in the village of
S.. Clair Shores. They have
been the target Of litigation of
some sort practically ever since
they were issued.
RULING CLEAR
At the moment the entire is
sue has been declared null and
void under Michigan law oW-
/ ing TO the fact that the proceed
ings in the drain project were
declared TO be illegal under the
statute. The matter has been
jockeyed through all courts of
minor jurisdiction clear up to
the United State Supreme
Court which has denied a re-
hearing Of the suit originally
brought TO have the bonds de-
clared to be valid and to secure
a payroll.
Plus INTEREST
Should the. IT.U. succeed in
/ its suit, the county would stand
| to pay not only the 100000
face value of the bonds but also
| interest that has accrued since
| 1881.
Suspicious that the printers
union has found some point Of
law that might compel the
county to pay, the board has
taken steps to defend itself and
the drain office through the
county attorneys office.

GOering
Continued from Page -

II was said also that special
urgency was given TO the
French situation with the arri-
val OF Goering in Paris while
the German armies were MAX
ing their first major attack Of
the spring on the Russian front.
Although the question of
military collaboration was to be
decided, foreign diplomatic OBJ
servers said they doubted ii
would 60 as far as an outright
military alliance.
The biggest point is the French
fleet, which, with French troops
i'm Africa, would represent con-
siderable reinforcements for the
Germans, who are seeking new
sources Of power in every pos
sible section.
WIDE VALUE
These forces-the fleet and
the troops-would be especially
valuable if, as foreign military
observers think, Germany made
a military effort to consolidate
her Mediterranean position this
year.
One obstacle 10 French and
Axis military collaboration is
the clash of French and Italian
interests.
Conferences over a period of
many months with the Italians
were stepped up after Laval re-
sumed power.
Lavals willingness TO enter
fully into the German desire for
French aid has resulted in a
provisional settlement, it was
said.
II was believed that Germany
persuaded both Italy and France
to agree to a longtime program
to adjust territorial claims or a
formal announcement that they
would await the end of the war.
