THINKING OUT LOUD

THINKING OUT LOUD
The unexpected thing about
blackouts isn't how dark the city
gets, it's how quiet II gets
What's worrying me is what
happens TO people on ferris
wheels DO they get stuck at
the top for IS minutes?
And. seriously, aren't We
taking an awful chance with
some of our factories, by not
having blackout curtains ready?
IN England they black the
factories out and keep on work
inc Capt. Don Leonard
talked 10 one British factory
man who had hired about 1000
women. When the air raid sirens
walled. the men started for the
bomb shelters. yellow belly.
yellow belly!" the women
shouted. and the Shamed men
went back TO their machines.
But Detroit plants (many, but
not ALI would have TO go dark,
because they have SO many win
dows.

There's silver inning 10
everything, IL you can find it.
Ernest Culshaw, the man in
charge of secondhand books at
the Goodwill Industries, re-
marks:
The bomb scare has been a
xcdsend."
When I asked him why, he ex-
planned:
people are cleaning out their
sttics and we get the old books
and magazines. That's why it's n
godsend."

recruiting ship in Cadillac

the ships guns operate

Navy Club. BY proxy, that is.

was powdered, and the chief
cannily traded the rs pounds for
IS pounds of granulated sugar.
That's where some of the
fancy fittings from the Dodge
yacht, the Delphine, went, after
the yacht had been rebuilt into
a navy boat. Some of the fittings
will be moved from the Navy
Club out to Capt. r. T. Brod-
head. at the Naval Armory,
though.
Another wanderer, Charlie
Costello. In his free time he likes
to investigate the city afoot,
along with his wife and daugh-
ter Tire rationing ought TO
teach a lot of people that it's
fun TO rove around Detroit rid
ing shank's mare.

was too generous to the GUS

week.

that high heels are gradually

that SO? Personal antipathy:

tise 'Bokays."
The old cannons at the City
Hall. And what will we have for
souvenirs after this war? A tank

this city needs is more delicates-
sens A tired young mother
sitting on the cement abutment
back of Wayne University,
smoking a cigaret and resting
her feet on the edge of a baby
carriage drawn up in front of
her.
Souvenir-Arthur and Emlyn
Equillo, in the show at the Bow
cry. still have their return tick
cts to France. They left Paris in
1889 with round-trip tickets on
the S. S. Charnplain.
Now it's sunk, and besides
that there's no refund on the
tickets because French assets
are frozen. The Equillos, by the
way, are British, not French
subjects.
