Brown Warns Army
Men on Real Estate
Must File cleims
for Exemptions

LANSING, Nov. 6 - (R) -
Auditor General Vernon j,
Brown today expressed fear that
men in the armed forces and
their relatives may find them
selves embarrassed by loss of
real estate, for failure to under
stand they must file claims for
homestead tax exemptions un-
der the statute.
"I'm afraid" Brown told
newsmen, "some of these people
just assume they automatically
are exempt. Actually, they may
obtain the exemption only upon
proper claim"
He obtained a new interpreta-
ton of the exemption law from
Attorney General Herbert j.
Rushton. The memorandum ex-
plains the exemption is on the
payment of real estate taxes on
the first $4,000 of value of any
homestead property valued at
$4,000 or less.
Exemption also may be OBJ
tanned for delinquent taxes un-
der the statute, Rushton held.

anniversary of the Bolshevist
Revolution tomorrow.
Red banners, revolutionary
slogans, portraits of members of
the Communist party's political
bureau and all other traditional
decorations have gone up for
the holiday.
The day will be observed with
as much energy as can be spared
from the main task of beating
the Nazis. All workers are to
be given tomorrow off, but
they will be called to work
Sunday, their usual rest day, to
make up the lost time.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Walt Disney and Donald Nelson
were among Americans who
sent greetings, the Soviet ra-
dio said. A broadcaster quoted
Mrs. Roosevelt as follows:
Everyone is watching the
heroic Russian defense with
deep admiration and hopes that
the valiant armies there will be
successful and that eventually
the forces of all the United
Nations will crush their COM
mon enemy"
The anniversary of the revo-
luton - through which the
followers of Nikolai Lcnin over
threw the provisional govern
ment that succeeded the Czarist
regime - is something like a
combination of an American
Christmas and a political cam
paign.
People get some presents and
listen to political harangues.
They already have had both.
The presents have been increas-
ed supplies of food, distributed
promptly upon the presentation
of ration cards. A pint of vodka
is given each worker against one

Praise for the armed forces Of
Russia, Britain and the United

sary slogan themes.

Man in Fight
Shores Resident,
81, in Hospitol

A 57-year-old st. Clair Shores
man was in st. Joseph's hospital
today recovering from the eff
fects of a beating administered
last night by a soldier in a fist
fight outside a Harper boule-
ward bar.
The victim, Fred Pollock,
332O4 Detour, was bleeding
about the head and both his eyes
were closed, sheriff's deputies
said. He was found sitting in his
car which he drove into a ditch
near the bar following the fight.
Raymond Boos, 1888 Jefferson
Route 3, and Clifford Kraenke,
2678 Shore drive, Route 3. found
the badly beaten man and drove
him to the sheriff's office.
Deputies learned from the bar
tender that the fight ensued af-
ter the men called each other
vile names inside the tavern.
The soldier was held for mill
tary authorities.

a little east of the scene Of the
battle of the Tenaru River in
August when marines, support
ed by tank units, slaughtered
all but about 80 of 700 japanese
troops who tried to capture the
airfield.
MAIN THEATRE
The western front on which
Americans began an offensive
nine days ago still remains the
main theatre of war on Guadal-
canal. Last nights communique
brought action there through
Tuesday night when American
naval forces shelled enemy po-
sitions near Kokumbona, about
10 miles west of the airfield.
Army aircraft bombed enemy
supply dumps and tropos in the
same sector Sunday night.
During Tuesday, marines
continued successful attacks
against enemy positions west of
Matanikau River" They killed
$50 Japanese and added this
enemy equipment to that al
ready captured:
Three field pieces.
IL 37-mm. light artillery
guns.
80 machine guns.
TAKE EQUIPMENT
The previous day the Amer
leans captured 20 machine guns
and two small artillery pieces.
A week ago the destruction of
IL enemy tanks was announced
and during minor operations on
Oct. 20, two rs nm. guns were
seized by the marines.
The number of enemy troops
landed east of the airfield was
believed to have been small. 1t
was interesting that during the
same night the enemy were
ashore at Koli Point,
American naval vessels, pre-
destroyers, were al
most within sight of the boats
that were landing the enemy.

In the records, 1t is stated that
the first Methodist Episcopal
Society at Utica was organized
in 1923. Private residences,
barns and schoolhouses compris-
ed their worship places until
1889. In March of that year a
meeting of the society was call
ed by a layman, no elder or dea-
con being present to do SO, for
the purpose of electing board
Of trustees. On the first ballot
the following five were elected
Ralph Wright, Elias Scott, Pet
er Lerich, Hiram Squires, and
John Stead. These names still
continue in Macomb county.
In May of this same year,
these trustees purchased two
lots which backed on the his
toric old Clinton Kalamazoo
canal, which had been dug from
Mt. Clemens to Rochester some
time before. These lots faced on
Clinton street, about one block
south of the present high school.
For these two lots the sum of
$500 was paid to Joseph Stead.
The hard times following the
panic of 81 were still on, and
several genuine sacrifices mark
ed the work. of financing and
erecting the the new house Of
worship, AZ feet X "a feet, that
was built with a basement on
this site that same year.
In 1855 the church was NOV
ed two blocks north and one
block east, to its present site
on North Cass street, and here,
what is the oldest church build
ing in Macomb county, still
stands. In 1865 the church was
enlarged, thirty feet being add
ed to the length and the whole
structure repaired. an indica-
ton of the steady growth of the
church in means. influence and
numbers.
In 1870, James Alexander and
family presented the bell to the
society on condition that it new
er be tolled at funeral. So far
as known, that stipulation has
been adhered to. About this time
the board gave a note for $45
payable in six months, to have
a lightning rod put on tn e
church.
It was in 1882 that it was
found possible to add rs X 81
f eet at the east end of the
church for class meetings, pray.
er meetings, etc. In recent years
the basement dining room has
been completed, and during the
six year pastorate of Rev. Paul
Nicholas the building was re-
decorated, new lighting install
ed and m any improvements
made.
Rev. Versile D. Bentley, pres
ent pastor, came to Utica from
Harbor Beach at the beginning
of the Conference year and it is
during his stay that the last fine
addition has been made, the pur-
chase of a beautiful Hammond
electric organ, whose dedication
takes place Sunday.

NORRIS ALMOST QUIT

This fight, and the fight against the Teapot Dome leases, came as Norris was approaching the 1924 elections. A more cautious man would have avoided making en- emies, just as a more cautious man would have avoided the present tough election race. But not Norris
 He made trouble for himself by dragging into public view the re- lations between Hardings Ohio Gang and Ned Mclean, and de- nouncing Mclean as a man who has lived life of debauchery, and whose only distinction and whose only right to place in respectable society is one that has been .pur- chased by his money inherited from an indulgent parent"
 Mclean struck back in a way that threatened to unset Norris. He hired Gaston B. Means, as Means later publicly testified, to explore Norris public and private life, in an effort to find something damaging. When Means failed to find anything, Mclean even sug- gested a frameup.
 The public probably does not know how near Norris came to ending his public career at that time. It was not the opposition of Mclean which discouraged him, but sense of general futility.,
 Friends in Lincoln, Neb, wired him that petition to run again was ready for filing, but required his consent. Norris, however, in- sisted he was through. He dictat- ed a reply to bis secretary, refus- ing consent, and saying he would not run.
 Just as the wire was being car ried off by messenger, Newsman Paul Y. Anderson dropped into the office and learned from the; secre- tary what had happened He pur- sued the messenger, put the tele- gram in his pocket

Younger, Better Army

fs Philadelphia Record ~ Testimony of Secretary of War Stimson and Seeetive Service Director Hershey brings home the fundamental, importance of drafting 18- and ls- year-old youths.
 Extension of the draft to those ages will com pletely change the character of both our Army and our civilian life.
 As Secretary Stimson observed size is no substi- tute for quality.
 No matter how big our Army, it's effectiveness it's striking power--is what will count.
 Older men may have the will but they haven't the stamina for the kind of combat must expect from our enemies. There is, Stimson said, a tremendous difference between an army with an average age of 24-and an army with an average age of 30.
 The difference is in effectiveness. In parade the two may look alike, nearly alike On the fir ing line-the difference will show at once.
 And we can't expect to beat Hitlers best with our second best This isn't minor league battle.

Just how he evaded German regu- lations against the export of capital not known Some Germans have had their heads chopped off for doing things like that Possibly Goering has a pull with the administration.
 mystery remains. Why did this bold confi- dent man, who has done so well by himself while millions of others, including his colntrymen, have done so badly, invest his money abroad? Did he think the Nazi regime wouldn't last? And when he put $1 350000 in a Japanese bank in San Fran cisco, was he planning to spend his old age in a villa a California beach? We shall never know If the Germans get to wondering about these things one wouldn't like be Hermann Goering One wouldn't like to, anyhow
