II didn't surprise Mrs. Charlie

awarded the Congressional Media
Of Honor for his heroic action OF
his first bombing mission.
"Of course I'm terribly proud
and happy. though I can't say
I'm the least bit surprised" said
Mrs. Predmore. who lives at
1S945 Wildcmcre.
Maynard always was an un-
practicable boy. He was just
one of those people that things
happen to. OF all the boys i'm
England who might have won
this honor. Maynard would be
the one who'd DO The trick.
II know there must be other
boys over there who have cour-
age and imagination just as
Maynard has. He was just for
tunate enough TO be given this
wonderful opportunity To save
his friends lives"
Though she has had several let
tiers from her brother IN England
Maynard has made little mention
OF his exploit
"He wrote Us all about the
beauties OF England. What
wonderful country ii was and
how much he liked the people,
but barely mentioned his eNpe-
Renee" said Mrs. Predmore.
But that's what l expected. II
he came home tomorrow he'd

Demand for Ice,
Lack Of Helpers,
Peril City Food

Milk souring in the icebox for
lack of ice is in no sorrier state
these wartime days than ice COM
pany executives souring in their
offices for lack of manpower.
Discontinuance of the produc-
ton Of mechanical refrigerators
and the influx of war workers
have combined TO make the
greatest demand for ice in the his
tory of Detroit.
PRECIOUS POINT IN PERIL
And the loss of drivers TO the
armed forces and industry has
made the situation critical. There's
not a day goes by that ice COM
panieS don't receive complaints
from harassed housewives who see
their precious meat ration points
wasted because the iceman didn't
call.
ITS the homes that suffer
most" Jacob Borin, secretary
treasurer of Borin Bros, Inc,
admitted today.
THE only drivers we can get
as requirements are either very
young or older. They won't, or
can't, carry ice above the first
floor, and IL the Gus om er
doesn't have her money or
coupon ready, they just don't
bother to call back"
TWO COMPANIES CLOSE
Two companies have been forced
TO go out of business entirely, and
two others have discontinued their
ice business, concentrating on fuel
only. Another has discontinued its
home delivery service.
I'VE send our drivers out
daily, but IL they miss a stop
because the customer isn't home
it's missed. We just can furnish

but also larger total amounts OF
grain, according to the special
lists.
One OF the local chairmen,
William Kidd, assisting Murphy,
in the conduct of these meetings
remarked that the 1876 cows
in this county would yield l775
tons more milk in 1913 if every
animal would receive only so
more pounds each this year.
Grain, it was pointed out by
the Michigan State College dal-

NIT the COWS 10 milk more heav-

continue TO milk heavily when

so MAINTAIN the cow in better
thrift and health. Incidentally,
the specialist pointed out that
heavier feeding would also re-
suit in a higher market value OF
the carcass should the animal be
sent for slaughter. Remarking
that dry cows would respond

some dairymen, but thoughtful

suit in 1000 pounds more total

SHOWS VALUE
The crop specialist from Mich
igan State College showed the
value that dairymen could gain
from using alfalfa not only for
hay, but also for pasture. Alfal-
ia harvested by the COW as a
pasture crop will return as many
dollars as any other method that
might be employed and yet the
farmer would use less labor and
machinery in gathering the crop.
Cows can harvest the crop them
selves and also save the farm
er'S machinery doing ii. Alfalfa
and alfalfa bronze grass, corn
and soy beans in southeast Mich
igan will yield the most milk
making units per acre and the
most tons OF milk per acre, ac-
cording 10 these authorities. Dali
ry and Crops specialists all
agree that dairymen will not be
disappointed and the cows will
relish the treat, especially cows
with milking talent to harvest as
pasture sucn acreages as alfalfa
bronze grass and receive the 9TH

corn. both as grain and as silage;
