Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-09-11

He's the one who told me about
Il, and suggested that perhaps
more poker debts ought to be
paid off that way.
SEEN AROUND TOWN: Con-
nile Mack, trudging erectly
through the Book Cadillac lobby,
paying no attention at all to tho
whispers of people who recog-
nlZe him.
The girl who makes IL a point
70 be nice to lonely soldier boys
and was that n blush when
her friends took her aside and
told her that the two she found
In q Second boulevard hotel
were bakery drivers, wearing
their tan bakery uniforms!
James Cagney, surrounded by
reporters and . police escort.
Bert Acosta, neck-deep In
plans (materializing now for q
new aviation venture. He's q
designer this time rather than
. pilot.
Terry Smith, the lovely blond
Powers model--but who was the
gentleman squirting her: The
name was reminiscent of the
bootleg era
TALK AROUND TOWN: Gil
Guymer suggests another source
of scrap-the railroad rails that
are used as parking lot mark
ers. Wood would do just as well,
and all you have to do is keep
your eyes open to see tons OF
steel rails all over Detroit. Maybe
z. Jerome Petit can put the
Junior Victory Army to work
getting the owners to donate
this steel.
What about the war bond
brokers" who buy up these
bonds at cut rates from factory
workers? And don't the men
who sell the bonds realize that
by keeping the bonds they may
save their own financial necks
some day-aside from the press
ing patriotic need of keeping
the bonds?
Lies remarks about Detroit
could be refuted in 30 seconds
by quoting f1gures-but figures
on war production win have to
remain military secrets. You
can't censor criticism though.
HAPPY ENDING: 1t. Com.
G. n. Crandall, now OF the hy-
geographic office, II recollecting
that time In the late 1930's when
his ship brought q marine cap
tain back from the Far East.
The captain had been In Japan
first, then In China, and ut each
port he told his story TO re-
porters-that Chang Kai-Shek
eventually would drive the Japa-
nese into the sea.
In those days the remarks
weren't considered diplomatic,
and the captain finally was
forced to keep his opinions to
himself.
The Same marine captain In
back In the news now, but he's
q lieutenant coloneI-Evans F.
Carlson, who led Mai James
Roosevelt and the other marines
on the eminently successful raid
on Maxim Island.
And this time nobody objected
when Carlson said he had used
methods which he had seen en-
ployed by Chiang's famous
Eighth Route Army.
NOTES-things that inter-
ested me, and If they bore you.
I won't be hurt IL you yawn:
There are six or eight Stanley
Steamers around Detroit, so they
say, but nobody wants to sell
them, with gas rationing pracu-
cally here.
A card from another army
camp for the collection. This
ones from Pvt. william X.
Mansour, who went from De-
troit to Camp Crowder, Mo.
The race to sublet apartments
when you find a friend moving
Quits about the only way a
civilian can get an apartment
now typewriter companies
calling back rented machines.
The government needs 'em-and
there goes mine! Young ladies
refusing drinks with. But I'll
take a defense stamp instead"
It's happening often enough so
that bartenders don't even bat
an eye at serving a stamp to
some smart pretty.
From 'T. L.: Dear Pick
DSR buses In Windsor? That's
not so bad, but I'd appreciate
knowing what one was doing
In Bryan, o., last Saturday
afternoon.
