LONDON, Dec up - Vigil

packs cut November merchant
ship losses 20 the lowest figure
since May, 1910.
A joint statement issued here
and in Washington last night by
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill praised the
months anti-submarine activi-
ties as notable" and said part
Of the successes resulted from
the new Azores bases Portugal
leased TO Britain.
Without giving figures either
as TO the number of Allied ships
lost or enemy submarines de-
stroyed, the statement declared
that U-boats sent to the bottom
again exceeded the number Of
:heir victims as was the case
in the three preceding months.
The continuing Allied sue
cesSeses made it evident that the
U-boat fleet has taken a Grip
ping blow. An official an
nouncement at the end of Octo-
Der said $50 Nazi submarines
bad been sunk, but il seemed
certain that this told only a part
of the full story.
BY unofficial estimates here
Hitler has lost no less than 800
of the 500 or more underSea
boats that constituted his fleet
at its peak n March and has
been able TO send only $50 new
ones into action. In addition,
many others were forced back to
base for refitting.

that Macomb County found itself
up against a solid stone wall al
that time, in respect 10 finance.
Banks had been closed by
presidential order, freezing sew
eral hundred thousand dollars in
county funds and certificates of
deposit. Tax revenues had drop
ped TO mere trickle, with a so
per cent delinquency common in
most areas. Meanwhile, the Poor
Fund requirements had rocket
cd to sll-time highs, and the
need for current cash was crit
ical.
Hundreds of district grocers--
from Warren Township TO Mount
Clemens - had been furnished
food on welfare orders, but for
months had received no county
checks TO enable them to re-
plcnish their stocks. The shelves
in some stores were practically
bare for this reason.
Also, county employees had pa
tiently endured many payleSS
pay-days.
Late in 1882 the Board of SUI
pervisors decided TO issue its own
currency" which was not inn
mediately cashable, but was de-
signed to be called in from time

money available. The paper GER

The redemption was achieved
on a systematic basis, and the
plan. for as much as 1t was
worth, was eminently successful.

On a visit home a few days
