CALL FOR LABOR
The farmers and local sugar
company are calling upon the
students of City High to help
for the next few weeks and
save over 10000 tons of sugar
beets from freezing in the
ground. There is p definite need
of more labor to finish the sugar
beet harvest in Macomb county.
The rate of Lay in the Mt. Pleas
ant area was SIPS per ton but
no rate has been set here as yet
although they assure us it will
be adequate.
This is hard labor and so boys
over IA years OLD ere asked to
sign up. Some skilled beet
pullers have made as high as
$12 q day but they know how
to do the work whereas students
would probably only make half
this much. Because of the part
sugar is playing in lis war, !
don't think any boy should sit
around, but should get out and
help these farmers get the beets
to the plant where they can do
our armed forces some good.

MISSIONER BACK
 AFTER JAP SWAP
Rev. Leo Sweeney Sees New Britain Family First
 Time in Six Years

New Britain, Aug. 28-Rev. Leo w. Sweeney, Maryknoll missioner in Korea who was interned by the Japs and later released in an ex- change of prisoner, arrived at his family home here late Thursday night. It was the first time his par ents, MT. and Mrs. Joseph P. Sweeney, had seen him in six years and they said, joyfuflly, that half their worries were over for the pres ent at least and that they were happy.
 The other half of their worries, they admit, concern their other son, Rev. Joseph Sweeney, also with the Maryknoll Order, who has been working in leper missions in South China. From time to time they have had word from him or about him, A recent letter told of his narrow escape from capture while bringing in food supplies for the mission, the difficulty of getting any food, but contained also a resolve to keep at the work as long as ever possible.
 NSV. ACO w. AoWcOA1CS NosiiS AA0AAAS or the Gripsholm, the exchange ship, and arrived in New York Tues day. He was not able to leave the ship, since everyone had to be Identified, questioned, and exam ined, until 1O:30 a. m. Thursday. His sister and another brother met him at the pier and they drove to Ossining, N. Y, where Father Sweeney reported at the headquar- ters of his order.
 Then they headed for home Tn New Britain. On the way they stopped for supper in Southbury and telephoned MT. and Mrs. Sweeney who were happy to learn that the son who had come so far in recent weeks was only a short distance away. When the group did reach home he was warmly well comed.
 Weary and worn from internment and travelling he plans to get a short rest here before taking up new duties, possibly in South America where many requests have been made for Maryknoll missioners.
