NARROW ESCAPE
The little comedian had faced
a grilling half-hour of cameras
and flash bulbs while Judge
0'Gonnor was out of the court
room. But at last they let him
sit down and as he did so he
reached forward for one of the
little white paper cone-shaped
drinking cups which sit beside his
water pitcher.
Then instead of holding it to
pour a drink, he yielded to sud
den Glowing impulse and set it
on his head like Ounce cap.
In flash the camera boys were
on their feet again-and in an
other flash, Charlie had snatched
il off.
Chaplin in Ounce cap would
have been one picture too many
both for Edward and for Chaplin!

today expressed his regrets at

ulated him on his opportunity

garded the move as an example
of what niggardly county re-

when higher posts are offered
elsewhere.

Candidates

Already the COP registers
slate is expanding and, in addi-
ton TO the late winter an
nouncement of Irwin G.. Little,
of Warren township, two others
from his own bailiwick have
stated their intention to run.
They are: Fred Cromie, of War
rem, and William Lawson, of
Van Dyke, which, of course, has
built tantalizing possibilities for
North Macomb COP hopefuls
who see in the three-Way War
rem contest an excellent chance
Tor a man from the North TO
come out on top with the COP
nomination. Among those men,
toned repeatedly as a prospect
for that nomination is John
Ahrens, present county agent,
and former Mount Clemens bus
inessman. John is known to
have established widespread
friendship throughout the coun-
ty-at-large and it is generally
assumed that he is none too
happy at the recent $500 salary
accorded him as county agent
by the board Of supervisors.
John might upset many a
hopeful in the primary run offs
make strong bid against all
Democratic contenders. He is,
however, non-committal TO date.
Undoubtedly others are al
ready cycling the registers Of
flee and will, before the May Is
deadline arrives, formally enter
the contest.
AS for the prospects of an in
teresting run-off in the COP
contest for the drain commits
sion nomination, fireworks
are already assured through the
entry of incumbent commission
er, William c. Harper, and of
his former deputy William G..
Tegeder, of Harrison township.
That impressive Democratic
candidates will yet enter the
race appears certain and the
name of Edward Cahill has al
ready been mentioned by sew
eral as sound possibility for
that contest.

CHICAGO. May 4 --- Up -
Paul ID. SoWell, assistant oper-
ating manager of Montgomery
Ward and Company, was seized
by Federal Bureau of lnvesti-
CATION agents az the govern
ment- controlled mail order plant
toda and charged with stealing
or injuring' L. S. government
property.
William J. Conner, first as
sistant u. 5. attorney. told
Walker that SoWell was seized
as he was taking down = a
government poster. Conner SAID
the poster Informed employees
that any discharges since April
rs, the day the government
took control of the plant, were
invalid and the cases would be
heard by John d. Goodloe, gov
ernment-named grievance Off
Ger dealing with the Go United
Mail Order, Warehouse and Re
tail Employees. The poster also
said there would be no further
dismissals without hearings be-
fore Goodloe.
Sowell told reporters that
when he saw the poster this
morning he noticed il had to do
with relations between en-
ployes and management and
rather than stand in the hall
reading it, | was removing the
thumb-tacks in order TO take the
poster into my office and read
it in its entirety, and abide by
it, of course"
Except for this incident calm
prevailed today in the Montgom-
cry Ward situation as Federal
Judge William H. Holly studied
briefs and evidence offered by
the company and the govern
ment in the legal fight over the
government seizure.

street names those Of presidents
are used repeatedly.
Coolidge and Harding are
running neck and neck with six
each; Lincoln has eleven; Hayes
ten, Washington eighteen. The
names Of trees are also very
popular for street names. There
are eleven Elm streets; eighteen
Naples; nineteen Oaks; eight
Orchards; eight Walnuts; eight
Willows. You will also find
Woodlands n d WOODLANDS.
Woodland appears ten times on
the County Road maps. First,
Second, Third, etc. appear
many times. All of this makes
it confusing for Public Utilities,
merchants who have to make
deliveries, letter carriers, doc
tiers, fire departments, and
others.
After looking over the situa-
ton it was decided that some
thing should be done so the
matter is being called TO the at
tention of all Township Boards,
City and Village Councils and
Commissions and City and Viii
lage Planning Commissions in
Macomb County. These Boards
are all cooperating in a master
plan to eliminate all duplica-
tions. A study is being made to
determine the number of houses
on each street SO that the one
with the smallest number of
houses will be changes to elimi-
nate as much complaint or in
convenience as possible. This
master plan will be kept up to
date so that when new subdi-
visions are laid out in the flu
ture, the owners will be re-
quired TO adopt names for their
new streets which will not du-
plicate existing street names.

Harper points out that during
his eight terms as RoSeville
president, finances were improv-
ed and many public works Gre
ated. He entered the Drain Of
flee in 1913 after defeating
George T. Smith, Democrat, and
took over that post, he states,
in the worst rain and flood sea-
son in 40 years. Projects ac-
complished since then are de-
signed to eradicate costly flood
damage.
In the first year, 500 COM
plants were answered, and &c
new and established drains were
constructed and maintained,
Harper states, describing this as
a greater volume than any year
IN the past decade.
Harper, working with the
Drain Committee, claims 10 have
saved taxpayers S24, 95134 by
redemption of old drain bonds
during his first administrative
year. The 1914 schedule calls
for further redemptions, he
states, and a building program
of over 80 drains. Some per-
sonnet changes were required
in his office early in 1943, Har-
per states, to increase efficiency,
which he now asserts is at its
highest.

Minde case of 1880, wherein a
pumphouse was destroyed and
deputy sheriffs had to stand

cost; rehabilitated three aband-
oned pumps, and claims to have
permanently solved the dis

at an actual annual saving of
