Detroit and the entire Sixth
Corps Area today was given q
clean bill of health from sabotage
by Maj.-Gen. Henry S. Aurand.
commanding general of the Sixth
Corps Command.
Gen. Aurand was here two days,
visiting Fort Wayne, the 72Sth
military police battalion at Rouge
Park and Selfridge Field.
THE record over the past Is
months of cases which might be
sabotage shows very few actual
acts In this whole area" said
Gen. Aurand. "Not even FIVE In
vestigatiOns a week are initiated
and most of them turn out to be
trivial"
CITES FOUR FACTORS
The Sixth Corps commander
credited the freedom from actual
sabotage to four factors:
Better. knowledge of how to
take precautions to meet threats.
as against experiences in the first
world war.
Incorporation between agen-
cies engaged in investigating and
preventing acts Of sabotage.
3-The enthusiasm of American
workmen for the war effort SO
that saboteurs are more afraid Of
the men alongside of them than
any one else.
4-The swift justice handed out
to the Nazi saboteurs landed by
submarine and the hanging penalty
meted out to Max Stephan in
Detroit.
Gen. Aurand said there had
not been one serious case of sab
otage in this area since the war
started.
Most of the damage reported so
far, he said. was due more to a
disgruntled employe getting even
with his boss than to actual desire
to sabotage the war effort.
COMMENTS ON sCREwBALLs
at Is harder to guard against
screwballs than real saboteurs,~
Gen. Aurand commented.
The Sixth Corps chief was ac-
companied here by Brig. Gen. Will
liam E. Gunther, director Of
internal security for the area.
They conferred with Col. George
e. Strong of the Army Air Forces:
Col. w. E. Niles, executive officer
Iof the Tank-Automotive Center,
and Gen. A. B. Quinton, chief OF
Detroit Ordnance district.
This was Gen. Aurand's first
visit to Detroit since the new in
duction center was opened here
January 4. He expressed himself
as delighted" with the way the
district was being operated.
COMPLETE OVERWHELMING
At the same time he revealed
that the work of decentralizing his
command had been completed and
that internal security would here
after be dropped from the title Of
Sixth Service Command. Internal
security would be a division of the
command, he said,
There will be no change. in the
personnel here, Gen. Aurand said.
although the staff now had gradu-
ally been increased TO IA staff
officers, all under Col. A. M.
krech; Is other officers. 70 en-
listed men and SO civilians.
The district command would
cover a much broader field than
heretofore, he said. and would re-
port directly to him.

Detroit's most concentrated VIC
tory garden spot will be the rap
idly-filling Herman Gardens hous-
ing project, it appeared today as
housing officials sought a possible
2,100 garden plots to accommodate
tenants moving in there.
w. J. STAIRS, director Of tenant
for the Detroit housing
commission, said he had requested
vacant properties near the project
from the state land office board to
be converted into victory gardens.
This was a spontaneous move
ment among the 100 tenants
already living there" STAIRS
said. "and came TO my attention
through my work as an air raid
warden I'm that section. A drive
is now under way to get 100
per cent registration for gardens
I'm the project, and that means
2,100 for that many people will
be living there by planting time"

lures, which had waned somewhat
in popularity, have spurted recently,

the subject that is always sure of
its popularity is the outdoor scene.

it gives them chance to relax for

Back in the decade from 1920 to
1880, the mother and child theme in
calendar art was a popular one but
it has fallen off somewhat in the last
10 years. Just why, no one knows.

the idea is fundamentally sound"
and the only explanation they have
is that no artist recently has drawn
a mother-child picture with exactly

When armored knights met, it
was customary for each knight to
raise the visor of his helmet as a
means of Identification. This ges-
ture has come down through all
armies in the form of the salute.
Traditional, too, is the Army mans
preference for Camel cigarettes.
With men in the Army, Navy, Ma
rines, and Coast Guard, actual
sales records in their service
stores show that Camel is the
favorite. It's one of the favorite
gifts with service men. And though
there are Post Office restrictions
on packages to overseas Army
men, you can still send Camels to
soldiers in the U. S., and to men
in the Navy, Marines, and Coast
Guard wherever they are.-Adv.

Calendars Have Grown to $2OOOOOOO Business in SIS Years

The American public has been
"pin-up-minded" for many years

genius had the idea of combining a
calendar and sales message.

That Picture on the Calendar on Your Wall i
Is the Most Widely Known ALSO the Most
Profitable Form of Art in America TODAY
BY ELMO SCOTT WATSON
Released by Western Newspaper Union

VOU gaze upon one there on
L the walls of your home or
your office every day and you
enjoy looking at it. Chances are
that you never give a second
thought to that picture on the
calendar any more Than you do
to any other familiar object in
your daily life. But the truth is
that when you look at a calen-
dar picture you're looking at the
most widely-known and most
popular form of "art" in Ameri-
ca today.
For calendar art" is truly
the "art of the people" and it is
seen and enjoyed every year by
more people than have seen or
enjoyed the combined output of
all the "Great Masters" in his
tory. Moreover, it's the most
profitable form of art because
the art-calendar business is es-
timated at S20,000,00G annually
and that has been going on for
number of years.
Who selects these pictures that
adorn our calendars? Certainly, not
the grocer or hardware merchant,
or insurance agent, or some other
business man or institution which
provides us with new calendar at
the beginning of every year, How
do they know what subjects will be
appealing and draw the eye to the
picture (and incidentally to the adj
vertising message that's usually just
below it)?
Well, the answer to those, and
many other interesting questions
which suggest themselves when you
begin investigating the subject of
calendar art, can best be answered
if you pay visit to one of the 'Big
Six" art calendar companies
Brown and Bigelow of St. Paul,
Mimi, the Osborne company of Cliff
ton, N. j.; the Shaw-Barton COM
pany of Coshocton, Ohio; the Thorn
as D. Murphy company of Red Oak,
Iowa; the Gerlach-Barklow company
of Joliet, ILL.,, and the Kemper-
Thomas company of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Talk to the officials of one of these
companies-Brown and Bigelow, the

However, as the American navy
wins more and more victories, it is
probable that pictures of warships
will appear more frequently.
But whether they choose the
CUNTS, landscapes, human interest,
or girl art, the American public is
"pin-up" minded. 1t has been long
