SNOOZIN' SPENCER

The Spencer FentOns went
to Lexington to their cottage
over the wee k end with
bunch of Owls Club mem
bers. On the Friday night be-
fore they left, wife Jane put
some beans in the oven to
bake and planned to feed
them the following day to
hungry Owls.
Spence was to get up at l a,
m Saturday to turn off the
oven. He set the alarm - or 50
he claims - but failed TO get
up and the beans baked until 5
a. m. When Spence and Jane got
up the h ouse smelled like a
beanery, but everything turned
out all right, including the
beans which the Owls deVoured
even though they were over
baked some four hours.

Now Merlyn lacked lots of
things essential to the well or

she needed sugar for her we'd
ding cake The government
makes no special concessions on
such occasions so Merlyn Dor
rowed sufficient sugar from
kindly neighbors.
All stores were closed due
to the Memorial Day holiday
so Merlyn borrowed OF her
necessities she had planned
to buy just before the we'd

bit. She's typical of most
brides who quietly make the
best OF wars uncertainties.

WITH BRITISH FORCES IN
LlBYA - Correspondence of
the Associated Press - One of
the most daring information
services ever attempted is OPP
Grated by a band of audaciouS
B r ii s h volunteers who slip
through the enemy's back door
in ordinary American trucks to
find out what he is doing.
Like the scorpion, which is
their emblem, they carry a dan
gerous sting for their enemy
Sometimes they shoot up an
enemy post before they return,
or bring back some of the enemy
with them.
Always they are working hun
dreds of miles behind hostile
lines with no hope of support
from their own forces if some
thing goes wrong.
They have no secret weapons,
no DISCUSSES. They wear regu-
lar uniforms and ride in trucks
- not even rmor-plated-Such
as you might pass on any Amer
lean highway.
SHOCK OF SURPRISE
Their weapons are speed, sur
prise, camouflage and firm G
power.
They were organized in July,
1910, after Italy'S entrance into
the war made it imperative to
know what was going on in
Libya.
Very little is known about
them but Associated Press pho
tographer Weston Haynes and ]
have been allowed to visit their
advance headquarters.
What we found was a bunch
of bronzed young Spartans from
all over the British Empire, men
picked for their mental and
physical sharpness, who were in
love with danger, in love with
their jobs and in love with the
desert.

Shores City
Vote August 9
Commission Calls
Special Election

August 9 was the date set last
night by the ST. Clair Shores viii
lage commission for a special
election on the issue of incorp-
Grafton as a city.
The movement, sponsored by
the ST. Clair Shores Coordinat-
ing Council, would remove the
community from Lake township
of which it is now an integral
part, and set up city control of
all government functions.
At the time of the special
election voters will also name
nine members of charter COM
mission to carry out the maze
of legal requirements attendant
upon Incorporation if the mea-
sure is approved by the elector-
ate.
IN l94O the FeQeral census
placed st, Clair Shores popula-
ton at 1921 and officials of
the rapidly growing community
today predicted that by June /,
1943, the total number of resi-
dents may exceed that of Mount
Clemens, which is now in excess
Of $4,000.
Incorporation as a city would
give st. Clair Shores five vital
ly important seats on the Ma
comb county Board of Supervis-
ors in lieu of the one represen-
tative now functioning FIR m

PEACH GROWERS ARE
ADVISED TO SPRAY
TREES AT ONCE

Maryland Orchardists who did
NOT apply the peach leaf spray last
fall are advised to do so at once by
DR.. Ernest A. Walker, specialist in
plant pathology for the University
of Maryland Extension Service.
He says that if the weather per-
mits the spray should be applied
now in order to kill all alternating
spores of the leaf curl fungus
while the trees are still in a DOR
mant condition. The spray must
be applied before the buds swell
and when the temperature is above
40 degrees Fahrenheit.
The disease which causes peach
leaf curl is a parasitic fungus.
Spores of the fungas of the peach
twigs and bud scales of the peach
aud the same weather conditions
which cause peach buds to swell in
the spring also cause the spores OF
the fungus to germinate. For that
reason it is important to get the
spray on the tree before the buds
swell and before the fungus starts
to grow and establish itself inside
the young buds.
DR.. Walker says that the best
material to use in controlling
peach leaf curl is made by mixing
Il gallons of concentrated lime
sulphur (32 degrees Baume) and
sufficient water to make 100 gal
Ions of spray. This spray will
control both San Jose scale and
peach leaf curl
If San Jose scale is not prob
lem then a 6-6-100 Bordeaux mix
ture spray, or 6-3/4 gallons of lime
sulphur in 100 gallons Of spray may
be used. Where red mite eggs and
terrapin scale are present pc
troleum oil should be added to
make a three per cent Oil-Bor.

Way SOUGHT TO GET
100000 WORKERS TO
THEIR DEFENSE JOBS

Looking to the solution of pos
sibly the greatest problem that
faces the Baltimore industrial area
at the present time, that of getting
100000 defense workers to and
from their respective plants daily,
Governor Herbert r. O'Conor has
named a nine-man committee to
make an exhaustive study Of trans
portation possibilities.
Faced by the inescapable fact
that lack of tires and automobiles
will throw a tremendous burden
upon present transportation sys-
TENS within the next few months,
and realizing the absolute neces-
sity OF uninterrupted functioning
Of Maryland's vital defense indus
tries, Governor O'Conor took the
initiative and invited Federal,
State, Industrial and labor repre-
sentatives TO join with him, around
the conference table, in an attempt
to solve this problem before it ac-
tually became acute.
According to figures announced
by the Governor, some $4,000 work
ers are affected in the Glenn Mar
tin area; 10000 at Sparrows Point;
10000 at Fairfield and 10000 at
EdgeWOOd Arsenal
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission, the War Production Board
the Defense Housing Administra
tion. Edgewood Arsenal and Aber
deem Proving Grounds were among
the Government agencies repre-
sented at the meeting.
Earlier conferences called by the
Governor to solve other transpor
tation and water supply problems
that had defied solution, were most
successful, and Governor O'ConOI
has announced his determination
to see that solution is found tC
this highly complex problem be
fore it results in the stoppage OF
work at the many vital plants in
the Baltimore area.

MONTGOMERY FIASCO

About the biggest political bust
Maryland has ever witnessed is
now on parade in Montgomery
county. This is the effort of Re
publican coterie, backed by a
handful Of anti-organization Demo
Gratis, to f2ist on the county mon
political" charter form Of govern
ment as recommended by the
By, )kings Institute.
The report cost $4,000 but the
chances are now slim that the
charter government which it pro
poses will get even as far as the
polls this November. For it re-
quires $500 signatures by petition
to place it on the ballot, and so far,
not a signature has been obtained.
Even Alan Gardner and Richard
Barker of the County Civic FEEDER
alton. two stalWarts of the Brook
ings plan, have refused to start the
ball rolling by leading off with
their own John Hancocks."
There is very good reason for
this hesitanCy. though they scarce
ly dare admit to themselves.
Should the proposed cOunty-re-
form plan, which supposedly abol-
ishes the tWO-party system, actual
ly get on the ballots and be ap
proved by the voters, the first
county manager would be none
other than Democratic boss, e.
Brooke Lee. And supposedly, Ma
jor Lee was to be first to feel the
ak under the Utopian set-up.
@##&&
LEE FOR MOUNTY MGR.
Reason Lee could almost GER
tainly be county manager is that
his organization now controls
enough votes virtually to 'own'
the new council which, under the
Brookings plan, would select the
new county manager.
And once in the job, Lee could
virtually perpetuate himself i'll Of
fee
1t is bugs" Of this kind in the
BroOkings plan that has scared
every class of voter in Montgomery
County So as the matters now
stand, farmers, businessmen and
laborers all are thumbs down on
the dream" government plan that
cost the county $4,000.
Even many members OF the
Civic Federation who Justify
launched the drive to educate the
public up to the Brookings recon-
mendations have cooled Off and re-
fuse to identity themselves with
the crusade. At a recent rally
widely advertised by letter and
newspaper, just eleven persons
showed up to hear what was sup
posedly to be a debate.
SO it now looks as though Mont
gomery County will continue witt
it's old-fashioned two-party form o.
government with the Democrats
more in the saddle than ever ant
r. Brooke Lee headed either fol
Congress or the County Manager

to the assassination of Germany's
notorious "hangman", Reinhard
Heydrich, by announcing that his
killers had been found in a
Prague church yesterday and
were shot while resisting ar

The official German announce
ment said the two men accused
of fatally wounding Heydrich
near Prague May q and others
involved in the crime were
Czech nationals who were drop
ped from British planes over the
protectorate with orders to COM
NIT murder"
The British BroadcaSting corp
grafton, in a broadcast to dis
membered Czech-Slovakia from
London, said the Germans de
cided to discover" the plotters
after their threats of heavy re-
prisals failed to move the Czechs
to cooperation
The BIC pointed out that
word that the killers had been
discovered came two hours af-
ter the expiration of an ultima
tum to the Czechs to deliver the
killers or suffer the conse-
quenceS.
The official German an
nouncement said the two Czechs
had been hiding in the church

Boys State
Swings into
High Gear

EAST LANSING, June 10
(P)-The fifth annual Wolverine
Boys State swung into high
gear at Michigan State College
with 900 youthful delegates con-
Quoting a comparatively quiet
political campaign in the
mythical 49th state.
Director Carl G. Mathcny of
Detroit said that for the first
time in its history the model gov
eminent assembly opened with
out any "Steam-rollcr" factions.
Traditional banners and posters,
he said, lacked their usual fla
moyant, flip style and there was
a minimum Of "buttOn-holing'
by the mock politicos.
The war may have subducd
the boys to a serious frame of
mind, or maybe the delegates are
finally learning that high-pres-
sure tactics have always boom
eranged in the past" Matheny
commented.
Registration closed yesterday
with a total enrolment of 896,
approximately 100 fewer than
last year. The boys were given
physical examinations and as
signed to cities and counties"
where they will be quartercd the
remainder of the eight-day pro-
gram.
Scheduled today were election

by the states two political par
ties, the Trojans and Athcnians,
and political rallies TO drum up

Mathcny announced that vot-
ing machines contributed in the
past by the city of Lansing would
not be used in elections this year
because of war prioriticS which
make it impossible 20 obtain re-
pair parts. Regular ballot boxes
will be used, he said, and the
elections will be SupcrviSored by
