Scrap Piles
Grow Higher
Public Responds
TO War Pleas

Mount Clemens is just about
cleaned out of scrap iron, so
much waste paper has flowed in
from salvage groups to dealers
that mills are plugged and the
market price of paper stock has
dropped from Sl3 per ton a few
weeks ago TO SIS per ton at the
moment. And there's a market
for scrap white and colored glass
in River Rouge that will pay the
collector at the rate of 81 per ton.
That was the situation as far as
scrap is concerned in the city and
while the volume of scrap iron
being brought to one local dealer
from the city alone has slumped
considerably, auto wreckers and
farmers are toting in stocks of it
to another dealer and the WPA
will finish its contribution of 100
tons of scrap rail today with the
completion of the Crocker boule-
ward job. Harry Levine and Son,

fore last midnight on lonely
Bay county road in view of her
two children, and police today
sought her husband, Matthew
Chichocki, 81.
John B. O'Shea, prosecutors
investigator, said the children,
Joan, 9, and Roland, 8, told him
their father shot their mother as
the climax of a quarrel after tell
ing her, I'll give you something
you won't forget"
The shooting occurred on
Rouche road 212 miles south
east of Bay City as the family
was returning to their home here
from a visit to Reese, Mich. The
children reused nearby farmers
to notify authorities.
O'Shea said the children told
the following story of the events
surrounding their mothers
death: The parents had been ar
guing during the trip home, and
Chichocki suddenly stopped the
car. He picked up 80 pistol
and fired one shot at his wife,
missing her, then pushed her out
of the automobile and fired two
more shots which struck her in
the head.
The children ran to a nearby
farm house, and Chichocki had
disappeared from the scene when
sheriffs officers arrived. Off

No Indication was given as to

THEY'RE TRAINING
FOR WAR AND PEACE

If the war lasts for two years
our skies are going to be filled
with the finest trained flock Of
fledglingS the country has ever
seen. And if peace comes before
their two-year training course is
finished, they will be on their
way toward leadership in the
great expansion in the aviation
industry which seems certain
to follow the present conflict.
AS members of the Air Train
ing Corps these boys cannot yet
take an active part in flying.
They can, how yer, build
groundwork in the fundamentals
Of aviation, in so called pre-
flight training, so that many will
be fitted to assume their roles
in the Army and Navy Air
Forces when the time arrives.
They will be credited with the
work they now are putting in as

inadequate to care for the in
creased faffic burdens if automo-
bile transportation is drastically
curtailed.
5. The automobile business with
its tens of thousands of dealers
and salesmen and service stations
will be entirely changed.
6. Along with the auto business
proper, vast chain of supplement
tary businesses such as tourist re-
sorts, roadside taverns, travel
agencies, stores of all kinds, de-
livery and service systems will
find it necessary to reorganize
their normal operations.
7. Farming and farm marketing
methods will be affected.
8. Federal and state road build
ing programs and city street i'm
provement programs will be shift
ed to give greater attention to war
transportation needs.
9. Real estate values may be
upset by reduced demand for SUBJ
urban residence and suburban
shopping cengers and greater de-
mand for urban dwelling in close
ly concentrated work and residence
areas.
10. Federal and state tax rates
will be altered to provide revenues
which reduced income from nor
NAL automobile levies will yield.
Other far-reaching effects might
be listed but these 10 will give a
fairly comprehensive picture of
how the whole social pattern of
American life may be reformed.
Before taking up some of these
minor revolutions in more detail,
1t might be well to take a quick
look at what this automobile ci-
vllization amounts to.
PLENTY OF CARS
In the first place, there is no
shortage of cars today. American

one car for every four and frac.

ton inhabitants, more per capita
than in any country in the world.
That fact explains why it will be
more difficult for the United States
to readjust to an existence with
fewer automobiles.
Normally, is million cars have
been scrapped annually, to be re-
placed by new cars off the assem-
bly, lines. They probably won't be
scrapped this year. Five hundred
and fifty thousand new cars are
frozen now in the hands of dealers
and manufacturers. A fourth of
these are to go into stock pile to
be held for future emergencies and
the remainder, about 100000 will
be rationed out during the year.
Army and Navy and prime con-
tractors for war goods get first
call, then police, health officers,
doctors, and similar emergency
personnel will be taken care of.
All these 100000 cars will be ra-
toned out by the end of the year,
and then there won't be any more
new automobiles except the 130,-
600 left in the stock pile.
By Jan. l, 1943, there will be
about % million cars on the road
if they can get rubber. The prob
lem is to see if the country can
get through the war on % million
cars.
There is one proposal to design
a Victory" car, an inexpensive
auto unlike anything now on the
road, and assign one automobile
plant to make this Victory car
and no other for the duration of
the war. 1t would be strictly ra-
toned to people who could prove
they needed a new car. Produc-
ton would be discontinued at the
end of the war, or perhaps a year
longer. For it will take the auto
industry full year to convert back
to automobile production, and
that's a point which must not be
overlooked.

My fall reducing diet seems to
have been used quite successfully,
if I may judge from the letters
and reports which I have received.
Many people want to know wheth-
er they should continue it. 1t can
be continued indefinitely, as long
as you really need to lose weight,
and in order to give you a guide,
I have decided to repeat the Len
ten reducing diet, similar to the
ones used for the past two or three
years, because Lent is the ideal,
the proper and fashionable time
to fast.
An Efficient Diet
This diet has four qualities
which I would like to point out
here. In the first place, it is eff
cient. I had telephone call from
a lady the other day who wanted
to know if she could continue the
fall diet. She said that on it she
had reduced from 2O6 to 1874
pounds. A n her correspondent
writes: "At first we just smiled,
my husband and I, for while we
are both twenty pounds over
weight, we have always steered
away from freak diets. However,
we decided to give your diet a try,
and we have been able to lose fiji
teen pounds apiece"
Second: it is balanced. In other
words, it has enough proteins, car
bohydrates, fats, minerals and
vitamins. Therefore, it is a health

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-F. an
Wyck Mason, the novelist, has
been called to active duty as a
major in the Military Intelligence
Division of the Army-an apt as
signment.
Military intelligence is Mason's
meat. He's made a hobby Of it for
years-studied it, written b u t
it, and from his experiences coin
ed a series of novels that have
lifted him to high plane in the
estimation Of the hordes of read
ers who prefer fiction with flavor
Of military and political intrigue.
Noted among these intrigues
have been 1.-The Sulu Sea Muir
ders," 'The Fort Terror Muir
ders," 1.-THE Shanghai Bund Muir
ders," 1.-The Rio Casino In
trigues." Through these tales have
stalked the figure Of Major North.
So well established has this char
acter become that re aders write
Mason indignant letters whenever
he permits Major North to fall in
to trouble. The Major North, I
mean) is lad with an eye for a
pretty woman and he gets around.
Mason's chums, in the spirit Of
good natured raillery, have no t
overlooked the fact that the man
who created Major North-is now
a major himself.
