Mystery Shrouds
Radio PIof's
Local Figure

Mention of Mount Clemens in
today's episode of a nationally
broadcast fiction story, David
Harum"-reported by telephone
to this newspaper by a number
of radio fans-will apparently
remain a queer mystery unless
the writer's of the radio script
care to clear it up.
Rev. George Winterstein, pas
tor of st. PauPs Lutheran
Church, Canal Road, the church
mentioned in the radio story,
was the most mystified person
of all when informed of the ref
erence to his church, and Gas one
woman caller insisted) to Rev.
George Winterstein by name.
"All l can suggest" Rev.
Winterstein said, lis that the
script writer's referred to a Luz
theran church directory and
picked the name of the pastor
and church at random"
The somewhat complicated
story needs an explanation for
the several newspaper readers
who do NOT listen to David
Harum":
The fiction story of family
life continued today with
friends frantically seeking to To-
cate a cured sufferer of the
deadly blood disease commonly
called lukeama, so that a blood
TRANSMISSION from the now
healthy victim would benefit
the critically i'll character in the
tale.
They were searching for a GER
tain war veteran who had re-
covered from the disease, when
suddenly one of the characters in
the script dashed in with tele-
gram (and this how it was
told to the writer).
Here's telegram from a doc
tor at st. Luke's Hospital, De-
troit, Michigan, saying that Rev.
George Winterstein (the name
admittedly wasn't very clearly
spoken on the radio) had been
fully cured of the blood ailment
and will donate the needed
TRANSMISSION. His address is St.
Paul's Lutheran Church, Mount
Clemens, Mich"
This is substantially the story
told by several radio listeners
who called this newspaper.
And yet Rev. Winter
stein who had never heard of
the David Harum" program
had never been in st.
Luke's Hospital, Detroit :.
and had to have the lukeama
business explained to him by a
reporter who knows less about
white corpuscles eating red cor
puscles than he does about
Deuteronomy 4:22.
So you figure it out!

Ensign was right. Within a
half hour after leaving the dock
in his private speedboat, he and
Deputy Leon Kandt had found
the two suffering boys huddled
together for warmth in the bot

They had tried to anchor after
their cupboard motor failed, but
strong winds had dragged the
craft into the shadows of An
Choir Bay.
Clad only in light clothes, the
boys were in a half-frozen con-

selves swathed in fur-lined coats,
had found the going chilly. They
had provided warm coats and
sweaters for the boys before
starting the rescue mission, and
soon had them drinking hot cof-
fee at a New Baltimore drug

found him in semi-conscious
condition, He was dazed from
head injuries. He was lying on

road.
Taken to st. Joseph hospital,
severe cash was discovered on
the back of his head. He was
only wearing one shoe and eff
forts to find its mate by the side

that the other shoe might have
been torn off inside a car or
elsewhere.
A relative at the address
found in Berger's pocket said
Berger had recently sold a piece
of property in Northern Mich
igan and the S1,326 apparently
represented all or part of the
proceeds. Whether any large
part of the money was missing
could not be determined.
No tire or auto crash marks
were found on the highway.
