1--WE played over our heads"

I'VE played over our neads.
Alex Chesney, Catholic Central
coach gladly and happily adj
mitted that in the locker room
after the Shamrocks bumped
Cooley to win the 1913 city high
school football championship.
Chesney, who was deep in pes
simism before the start, gayly
hurled superlatives all over the
room. -
Burgess Is the best back In
the state" he cried. Joe Miglio
and Bill WightlSin, our ends, are
the best in the state, too"
Chesney was particularly high
in praise of his line-Capt. John
Downey, center; Tom Holland
and Gene Spratke, tackles, and
Gene Szumlanski and Cliff Ryan,
guards.
"Confidentially," he added, 81
think Cooley was a little over
confident"
Father James Martin, Cath
Ollie Central athletic director,
appeared even more happy than
Chesney.
Best spirit they have ever
been in before game" he
said. Burgess Is the most Inn
proved player I've ever seen"
Charley jerks, Cooley coach,
said:
Catholic Central played good
ball. 1t meant everything in the
world to them. Injuries hurt us,
and our line was not up TO par.
saturday, incidentally, was
jerks last day with Cooley.
Monday he takes over as athletic
director at Northeastern High.

rocks regular guard who broke

George Romney Irked
by Rumors Of New
Car Production
BY snER FREEMAN

The recurring rumors, mostly
emanating from Washington,
that private automobile produc-
tion may be resumed again gives
George Romney. managing di-
rector Of the Automotive Coun-
Gil for War Production, one big
pain in the neck. Romney would
be the first to cheer if the re-
port had any truth in il.
But right now, with the in
dustry's eyes centered on war
production and war production
only, the rumors merely make
him more than a trifie irked.
ITS not true and IL doesn't
seem likely that IL will be true
before final victory Is achieved"
stated Romney firmly. Tt ranks
as almost sabotage Of our war
effort to have such rumors como
out of Washington from ire
sponsible persons. Such per-
sistent talk Is bound to get
somebody to step out of line,
unless 1t Is stopped now.
II see no need for resuming
private car prOductin at this
time. L think our present sup
ply OF automobiles, carefully
conserved, will last us until We
can get the big job DONE"

Pontiac SeekinQ
o1i(eApp|i(dnts


PONTIAC, Aug. g. Pontiac's
police force will be short eight
men if that number of officers
who took examination for jobs on
Detroit's force are accepted. One
officer, David Meade, leaves Sept.
/ for the Detroit police dept.
where three former Pontiac po-
licemen have joined in recent
weeks.
Police Chief Charles F. Rhodes
has issued a call for applicants
on the Pontiac force up to 35
years old. Applicants are few
here, because Detroit policemen
get $1,000 to start while Pontiac S
pay is $4,000 a year, regardless
of length of service.

Women's Goats Hit

Women's coats and dresses.
the bureaus agents report, are
being made increasingly Of
blended material: many are cot
ten mixed with wool As prices
Of raw furS soar, there is a
general and natural tendency
for smaller and smaller fur coll
lars on women's coats.
Diversion of cotton spinning
facilities 10 war uses has re-
suited in skimpier mems shorts
and pa jamas. Then. too. elastic
Wristbands have been replaced
by tie sides and button fasten-
ings. Plastic buttons substitute
for metal snaps. Recent garter
purchasers are swapping and
snarling over the inability of
the tiny bit Of elastic now used
10 grip onto the male calf. The
tendency Of some rubberless
waterproof" materials (shower
curtains, baby bath tubs) to
eak at the slightest provoca-
lion has been a trial to many a
housewife.
Cheaper cotton fabrics are
now being used for womens
dresses (very high grade cot
ton is in heavy demand for war
purposes). Many larger sizes
i house dresses have been dis
continued, so that the maximum
number of garments can be
made from the minimum Of ma
terial.
Detroit evening times., 1943-08-09
No New Engines

The War Production Board
also is peeved at the recurrent
discussions of the postwar au-
tomobile and new engines. The
discussions make it seem that
the ultra-rnodern cars are just
around the corner.
A high WPB official here
scoffed at talk of new engine
designs.
"If there are any, they arc
on the drawing board only" he
said. Application for materials
to build an experimental engine
Of any kind would have To come
to our office. 1 have never seen
such an application nor has any
been approved. Materials are
still too precious to experiment
with peace-time projects that
can walt"

Motorbodt Law
To Be Enforced

PONTIAC, Aug. "a sheriff's
deputy whose duty it will be to
compel obedience to the Oakland
County motorboat ordinance is TO
be selected this week by Sheriff
Spencer c. Howarth with ap-
proval of the board Of supervisors.
The board of supervisors
.. k.'d the deputy's salary for
this summer, to be paid for out
OF the county contingent fund.
Supervisors acted on complaints
OF hundreds of lake dwellers who
charge that operators of power
boats have violated all provisions
OF the ordinance. especially the
rule that motorboats shall not
drive near fishermen's rowboats.
Detroit evening times., 1943-08-09
Usina Mixtures Now

Rayon, too, is increasingly
short and the mixture OF cot
ton with rayon in dresses, ac-
cording 10 the bureau. has led
10 a curious tendency in the
women's wear industry. As the
material used declines in value
more and more trimmings are
added.
Household equipment as. well
as clothing. is suffering certain
declines in quality despite
manufacturers ingenuity.
Bureau drawers. even in some
of the best new furniture, are
apt TO stick because runners
for the drawers are no longer
being made, officials report. Nor
is there dustproofing in the
drawers. Couches and beds may
lack casters. Some months ago
there were a number OF COM
plants about wool-rayon blend
rugs mating. but this has been
largely overcome by develop
ment OF special resilient rayon
carpet fibre.

Horse
Epidemic


BATTLE CREEK, Aug. 9-The
epidemic of sleeping sicknes
among horses is spreading and
now extends from Hastings to
Vicksburg. covering an area much
greater than that affected in 1912.
Last years spread of the dis
ease ended with the first frost in
October with about 5 horses dead.
Should the epidemic continue until
that time this year the horse
fatalities probably will double that
number.
Innoculation of healthy animals
is said to be the only positive
preventive.

Complaints Limited

So far. complaints about shoe
odor and lack of color-fastness
nave been limited 10 a few
medium and popular priced lines.

form TO traditional good stand
Yards.
Sidelights on changes in cloth
ing quality have been carefully
compiled by the governments
Bureau Of Labor Statistics. This
division of the labor department
has a big force Of agents who
report on consumer goods from
all sections Of the country. They
not only examine goods on the
market but make actual pur-
chases. Samples are later tested
by the Bureau of Standards.
The labor department says

quality of materials and fabrics
