Immunization Drive
Approaches Climax
Second Clinics PIonned
for Rurol Schools

The final step in the cam
paign to immunize rural school
children against diphtheria will
be taken Tuesday, May IL, when
doctors assigned from the head
quarters of the Macomb County
Medical Society will conduct
clinics at each one of the schools
to inoculate the children for the
second time.
A previous series of clinics
was held last month.
The doctors will provide their
services free from the stand
point of their own charges but
will have the schools collect
nominal sum from each student,
who can afford it, for the serv-
ice rendered. The combined
sums collected will be set up as
a benefit fund for the individ-
ual school that has cooperated
in the work, it was explained by
DR.. William j. Kane, chairman
of the campaign.

Civilian Defense Leaders
Urge Public to Enroll
Many More Wordens, Firemen
and Police Required to Guard City

The local office of Civilian De-
Tense again warns the public that
protection against incendiary
bomb attacks is purely neigh
borhood matter and it is up TO
the residents of each block to
see that every other household
er in that area has taken the ne
cessary precautions to put out
fire in his own home. Neither
the telephone service nor the
fire department service will be
available to the individual house
holder under air raid emergen-
cies.
UNLESS we move more rapid
ly now to perfect our civilian
defense neighborhood organiza-
ton in each block, enemy bombs
may beat us to it, stated Law
renee Blades, Liaison Officer Of
the local Defense office. I'VE
must avoid here what happened
in England when the people of
London were caught wholly UNI
prepared for the widespread in
discriminate fire and demolition
bombings."

MANY men and women in
this city seem ready and willing
to serve but for some reason do
not come forward and register
in Civilian Defense and offer
their services in one of the
branches of the Defense Corps.
New classes are now being start
ed in all branches of this service
and this is the opportune time
for new volunteers to come for
ward and enroll for Civilian
Defense"
The work under Civilian De-
Tense is merely TO organize and
educate the people TO protect
themselves and their own lives
and homes, and the homes in
their immediate neighborhood
The training courses merely
provide the study of the various
methods of control of incendi-
airy bombs, protection against
various types of gases, fire fight
ing and First Aid. Every person
is a better citizen and a better
parent and householder for hav-
ing studied any of these cours-

Bose Menoced by
British Drive
Nv the Associated Press

Tank-led British Commands
were reported battling French
colonial troops on the outskirts
of Diego Suarez today as Vichy
reports indicated that the fall
of that key naval base on NADIA
gascar Island was imminent.
Raj warplanes dominated the
skies over Diego Suarez, on the
northern end of the big island,
and British warships were re-
ported in firm command of the
surrounding seas.
The Commands, leading the
assault, had plunged 20 miles
though the jungles against "stif-
fleming French resistance" to
reach the gates of the naval base.
Meanwhile, Washington con-
sidered a possible United States
move against Vichy = controlled
bases thanking the Panama Ca
nal since Vichy France has de-
fled a United States warning
against resistance to the British
~ Madagascar. p
Diplomatic obsel yers pointed
to that section of the American
note to Vichy which warned
that "any warlike act permitted
by the French government
against the government of
Great Britain or of the United
States would, of necessity, have
to be regarded by the govern
ment of the United States as an
attack upon the United Nations
as a whole"

40 Jap Planes
American Squadron
Hits IS More

NEW DELHI, INDIA, May 6
-(P)-Forty Japanese planes
were destroyed and IS others
badly damaged by a heavy Unit
ed States bomber squadron
which struck early today in its
second successive raid on Min
galadon airdrome just north of
Rangoon, American sources said
today.
Three flights Of Major Gen.
Lewis II. Brereton's bomber
force in India delivered the at
tack this morning, starting fires
that could be seen 20 miles
away.
Their bombs smashed into the
-blackened japanese hangar
and gasoline dump, left wrecked
by the two previous flights of
bombers the night before.
The raid was the seventh in
the lower Burma area since AM
erican filters began their aerial
offensive from India April /.
The Raj, timing its blows
with the American attack, struck
anew at barges bringing Japan
csc war material and perhaps
troops up the Chindwi river on
the Burma front 400 miles to the
north.
The Americans met strong
anti-aircraft and fighter plane
opposition, a u. S. army air
force headquarters communique
said, intimating that Mingaladon
was perhaps the chief of all the
Japanese air bases in Burma.
While the weary British land
forces continued a rear-guard
action along the Chindwin, aid
ed by the Raj bombing in the
vicinity of Monywa, about so
miles west of fallen Mandalay,
there was no word from the
eastern end of the Burma front,
where the Chinese forces at last
report were fighting the Japan

Fishing Riahts

Seattle (P) = Alarmed over the first move of Alaska Indians to establish ancestral fishing rights in Alaska under 1922 fish ing regulations issued by Inter- for Secretary Ickes, Seattle Labor leaders are preparing to join AL aska packers in opposing the new regulations.
 The new regulations allow AL aska Indians to apply to Ickes for a hearing to establish ances- tral'or inherited fishing rights with priority over white operat- or's rights. The action was decid= ed upon when it was learned a petition for such a hearing had been fled by Williem Lewis Paul, of Petersburg, asking removal of the Colpoy's Point fish trap own ed and operated by the Pacific American F sheries.
 The Unions executive board said that representative would be sent immediately to Washing ton.
