Sources in contact with Berlin

that he might not be in personal

was unlikely that if he had been
killed the news would have been
suppressed SO long.

quest.
Bevan suggested that the govern

the date of a proposed summer re-

How is it possible for the house
TO adjourn while the country and

ing people have agitated everywhere
and newspaper propaganda goes day
after day. There must be some way
of reassuring the public mind"
why is it impossible to do that

that there does not exist in the
country sufficient confidence over

Since the last edition, I have
been besieged with requests con-
corning the building code on De-
troit side. Here is the code that
was passed on last year which had
go day hearing without a protest
from anyone out here. One and a
half story homes can be erected in
this building zone, which is bound
ed by Livernoix and Meyers road,
West Eight Mile road and Curtis.
You will note the restrictions for
building are the same in FILA. ap-
proved district and property. At
that, we could not get an FILA.
Loan to build new homes which
made it hard for our people to come
up to this requirement. This is the
code the West Eight Mile improve
ment association is working on 10
try and have changed. Any infor-
nation about home building with
a 10 per cent down, contact Shelton
johnson at Birdhurst center.
To the citizens OF Oakland Coun-
ty side Do you know that our
homes could be bombed in case Of
an air raid?~ What protection have
We, with a fire department located
four miles from our community?
What preparations are being made
10 fight fires started by iucendiary
bombs? You hear of Ferndale, Hazel
Park, the Mad son District in Royal
Twp. and other surrounding COM
munities preparing. No one has
said anything about West Eight
Mile road. Wake up citizens. Get
an air raid warden out here to
instruct us in the way OF air de-
tense, Remember We are surround
ed by industrial defense plants. The
lone fire department in Royal Oak
Twp. will have their hands fill in
fire fighters and auxiliary workers.
Shelton johnson has been appoint
ed air warden on Detroit side. Lest
we forget We can be bombed.
In the near future, industrial
plants will be hiring thousands Of
women for defense work. Will our
coIored women be given a chance
TO earn some of this money? Out
in California, white are now work
ing in air craft plants earning 60
cents an hour Rich people are be-
ginning to protest already, saying
It is hard to get domestic help for
ne price they want to pay. Here's
hoping our girls will get a break
in the defense plants to earn some
OF this long money. N.AACP. and
Other civic organizations continue
TO fight for this just cause; our
high school and college graduates
are tired OF doing kitchen and maid
work. Remember we are all true
Americans.
