C. Securement or establish,
ment of Juvenile centerS- where

d. Establishment of special
courts or extension of the juris-
diction of present juvenile
courts with the purpose of max
ing detailed studies of the cases
of all juvenile delinquents with
the aim of salvaging young lives
rather than in securing convic-
tons. For such a program, the
legislature should establish and
implement a State Commission

will so long as delinquency is

tation from the Department OF
Public Instruction, the office OF
the Attorney General, the vari-
Gus Church and Civic organiza-
tons, and also the machinery
for the establishment of county
and local committees, and allot
the funds for the securing of
youth centers and the carrying
out Of the programs.
3. In general / believe our
system of state aid for schools
is quite efficient. However, ]
think greater flexibility should
be allowed in the case of dis
tricts which are shouldering
their full share of self help yet,
for some special reason, are I'M
able to maintain education at
par under normal state aid. l
definitely favor consolidation of
school districts and believe this
will be prime necessity in Ma
comb County in the immediate
post war period.
4. l believe modern transpor-
tation and communication have
tended to make certain phases of
our system of county govern
ment obsolete especially in
heavily populated counties. For
that reason l favor the proposed
county Home Rule amendment,
under which a referendum of
the voters of given county of
large population would author
ize the undermining and stream
lining of that countY,s- govern
ment.
S.. / believe that the recent
reappointment which has finally
given Macomb County its second
seat in the House of Represent
atives still falls far short Of just
apportionment and that this
matter should be remedied when
the next national census will
make reapportionment again
possible and mandatory. AS a
long range objective l favor the
unicameral house such as is now
proving so successful in Ncb-
raska. --a

pass the flames and reach the
men.
The fire broke out at / o. m
(EWT) yesterday when a rock
fall broke a high-voltage trolley
and sizzling sparks ignited coal
near the junction of the main
passageway and a 3,600-foot
dead-end corridor in which the
victims were working.
The mine, the largest soft coal
pit in Ohio, is operated by the
Powhatan Mining Company, Is
miles south of here.
NO MESSAGE
No word had been received
from the men since the fire
broke out.
Up until 4 a. m. today, when
sealing of the burning area was
decided upon, Marcus Kerr,
chief Of the State Division of
Mines, had expressed belief the
men could be reached.
Charles E. Young, assistant
superintendent of the mine, had
asserted that if the men could
have barricaded themelves pro-
perly, they could have held out
five or six days.
On the other hand, Adolph
Pacifico, vice-president of Dis
trict Six, United Mine Workers,
had asserted late yesterday:
II do not think they will find
one of them alive
Scores Of relatives of the en-
tombed men were waiting hope
fully at the mine entrance when
officials announced that the
shaft must be sealed.
Closing the shaft will cut off
the oxygen supply and the fire
will burn itself out. 1t must re-
main sealed for several weeks
before workers can return to
remove the bodies of the vic
Tins.
$50 EMPLOYED
In the mine when the fire
started were 1919 men. All but
the "a, however, were in areas
from which they could reach
exits safely. The mine current
ly employed $50 men.
Immediately upon receiving
the news, George Emery, a As
year-old foreman and father of
four children, went into the pit
to help the trapped men. Hours
later he had not returned.
The flames spread to two 9TH
er areas, but these were brought
under control.
The burning section is near
an area where two men perish
ed in a fire two years ago. The
area had been sealed until a
few months ago.

A Fashion Note From
Hollywood

HOLLYWOOD (SpeciaD
The alliance of black and
purple in fashions may look
much too regal when used
by most people, but when
Irene does it, it achieves one
of the most striking gowns
of the season.
This is a short evening
dress which the executive
designer for Metro Gold
wyn-Mayer studios created
for Myrna 10y to wear in
"The Thin Man Goes
Home" The dres is slim as
a reed, has square decolle-
tage with only one strap
over the left shoulder "a
strap made of bright purple
satin ribbon. The same
wide ribbon is drawn
through the very new low
cred waistline, ending in a
couple of loops at one side,
the loops topped in turn by
a bunch of lilacs. Long
purple satin gloves accent
the sOphisticatiOn of this
most recent Irene creation.

Spending
Your Buck
Local IL Research Dept.

In January, 1941, the Little
Steel Formula became effective.
Wages were not to rise over Is
per cent above levels then in ex-
istence.
Labor accepted this condition
believing that some such step had
to be taken to place the national
economy on war time basis. At
the same time, however, labor
relied on government promises
that an effective ceiling would
also be placed over prices, and
excessive profits would not be
allowed corporations.
Various governmental agen-
cies were set up to carry out this
program and labor as whole
was ready and eager to do its
part in making it success.
Since then, however, labor has
found its lot a sorry one. The
Little Steel Formula has been
rigidly adhered to while all 9th
er agencies, supposed to work in
conjunction with it, have either
been woefully weak, or through
congressional interference, e
rapidly being shorn of their eff
fectiveness.
Food prices have risen 74.2
per cent, clothing 1922 per cent,
rent, l5 per cent, fuel 8.6 per
cent, house furnishings, 81 per
cent, and while at this time there
are no available figures on mis-
cellaneous items, such as shaves,
haircuts, ETC., they are known 10
have risen at least 15.9 per cent.
Taxes also are doing their
share in reducing the workers
real income. In 1941 the wage
Garner who received $50 per
week paid out about $50 in
taxes. This year he will pay
Sl88.33 in federal taxes alone.
Corporations have increased
their profits nearly 200 per cent
after all taxes. In addition 10
this, the new tax bill just passed
over the Presidents veto guar
antees the corporations that they
will suffer no loss for two years
after the war, while as yet the
worker has not even been guar
anteed a job. Is it any wonder
that the workers are referring to
the Little Steel Formula as the
Big Steal Formula.
Recently, behind closed doors,
the senate banking and currency
committee voted to increase
profits to cotton textile manu-
facturers, who already are MAX
ing ten times the profits they
made before the war. This, if it
becomes a law, will wreck price
control and add another burden
on the already overburdened
worker by raising the prices on
all the cheaper types of clothing.

Tricky Movie
Titles Keep
Fans GUESSING

HOLLYWOOD (SpeciaD - OF
all the brain teaser titles given
motion pictures, National Vel
vet" now being filmed in Teen
nicolor at the Culver City studio,
seems to be tops.
A clubwoman from Boston
wrote the st6dio, Il hope this
National Velvet" is not story
of political graft" A New York
manufacturer asked whether the
picture had anything to do with
the lavish Velvet Balls, given an
nually in New York, before the
war.
To still conjecture and curiosi-
ty, here is the explanation
National Velvet" is the adap-
tation of the best-seller novel of
few years back. 1t is the story
of little English girl, named
Velvet Brown, who trains a
great horse and, disguised as a
boy, rides to victory in England's
Grand National steeplechaSe.
She receives much publicity,
however, that an adoring public
nicknamed her National Vel
vet"
PurpOsely Provocative
National Velvet is not the
only teaser title to come out of
Hollywood, for often a title is
chosen because it is provocative.
Years back there was a pic
ture titled Lady from He'll"
which the public thought was
about member of the Scotch
regiment in the first World War
known as the Ladies from He'll
1t concerned the Scotch, but it
was story about Annie Laurie!
Exhibitors, particularly in the
middle west, reported that the
ater-goers expected an Andy
Hardy-ish type of comedy in
The Human Comedy Other
movie goers, who had not seen
the play, thought Lady in the
Dark" was a murder mystery.
Maisie No Divorce
The title of THE Sea Beast"
conjured up picture of pirates,
but it referred to a whale and
was the remake of 'Moby Dick. :"
Grapes of Wrath" was bewild-
ering as title, unless one had
read the book.
'Maisie Goes to Reno" insinu-
ates that Ann Sothern seeks a
divorce in her new Maisie pic
ture, but 'tisn't so.
A classic confusion, of course,
was The Youngest Profession. !"
Who would guess, until he had
seen it, that it was a story of
teen-age autograph hunters?

Movie Set

HOLLYWOOD-Bud Alb
bott and Lou Costello were
all set to stage one of their
funniest stunts" in their
new picture, Lost in a
Harem." F" Costello was to
tangle with a gigantic wo-
man extra weighing $50
pounds.
Details were carefully re-
hearsed by Director Charles

laugh climax of the scene,
in which a breakaway piano
was to be used.
Sitting in state behind the
camera with the director
were Costello's little daugh-
ters, Patricia Ann and Carol
Lou, who were guests to see
Daddy do his stunt.
The cameras turned. Cos
tello and the heavyweight
extra went into a struggle.
At the finish they tumbled
off the platform, crashing
through the piano, which
splintered into a hundred
pieces.
The director halted the
cameras.
Costello picked himself
out of the wreckage.
Now, children" he re-
marked, "you see what your
Daddy goes through!"
