It's up the public to decide whether not this cut
in the gate is justifable.
Perhaps Mike Jacobs needs that money, although he
has collected considerable during the time Louis has
regned as champion WI
Perhaps John Roxborough needs the money to adjust
Joes affairs although he has collected considerable
during the Brown Bombers titular tenure.
But until it time to point the finger let's keep
the record straight.
Joe Louis and Billy Conn will not receive cent over
their regular army pay for participating in this bout

1t will be unfortunate if Joe Louis gets the blame

Joe simply obeys orders-whether in the army or in

RESTORE MARSHES

The Monroe Rod and Gun Clubs
four year fight to restore marshes
at Erie to public hunting has been
accomplished and for the first time
in years hunters will have about
five miles of the best marsh in the

of local ducks as last year, but
farther north, in st. Clair and
Sanilac counties, only "fair
amount" of ducks are reported In
rivers and lakes. In Huron. County.
there are small flocks Of blacks
and mallards along the eastern
shore.
In Lapeer County, the duck sup
ply is good. Prospects are fair in
Genesee County. Teal and NAL
lards will make up most OF the bag

PROSPECTS, SWELL
Prospects in south central coun-
ties of Michigan are the best in
years. Ducks are seen in every
small marsh or wherever there is
any water. The old Mud Lake
marsh in Jackson County seems to
abound in ducks.
Cool and rainy weather has i'm
proved the outlook on Saginaw
Bay. Black mallards and teal ap-
pear plentiful in most areas and
good shooting is In prospect. If
the weather continues cool. Sagi-
nav Bay will be especially good,
while ducks inland will be found
scattered due 10 the number of
swamps and pot holes filled with
water.
Near Roscommon. officers re-
port good prospects for opening
day. with more than the usual
number Of birds on hand. At Boyne
City opening day will be fair.

fate of Stalingrad will be settled
before the end of the week"
1t added that German sources
unidentified as to whether they were
official or unofflcial, military or
otherwise-said that when their
troops had reached the Volga they

attempt no further drive for the
present.
1t said the Germans planned to
take Stalingrad in "a classic pincers
movement" from Kachalino and
Abganervo, 80 miles northwest and
40 miles southwest of the objective
and that the extensive Notifications
