boards OF Lake Township, par
ticularly the South Lake board
have not publicly assumed any
stand on the state proposal for
consolidation Of school districts,
and have denied that they OPP
pose consolidation, as reported
in an article in last week South
Macomb News
Officials Of South Lake
School Board state that they
have venturcd a stand on only
one phase of the suggested con-
solicitation matter: That the
legislature first make it manda-
tory that school districts, be-
fore consolidation, retain their
own district Indebtedness, and
not combine il with the debts OF
other districts. They also con-
tend that the only Consolidated
Indebtedness should be that OF
the new combined district for
capital expenditures made after
the consolidation has been cf-
fected.
Until this phase of the pro-
jected consolidation plan is
cleared up possibly in the l945
Legislative SESSION., the South
Lake School Board will not as
sumo an attitude for or against
the consolidation, alt h Dug h
members see many good points
in the joint administrative plan.
In a recent talk in ST. Clair
Shores, on invitation Of Presi-
dent William Warfield, of South
Lake, DR.. Eugene B. Elliott,
state superintendent of public
instruction, advocated strongly
the plan for school board con-
solidation throughout the state.
Under such plan, still in the
formative stage. South Lake,
Lakeshore and Lakeview dis
tricts would become one dis
trict, and the present high
schools would be elementary in
stitutions, with one large, new
high school serving the higher
field Of education.

Tweed said he experienced one
brief illness on the island. but the
most noticeable effect of the or
deal appeared to be in his voice.
He had some difficulty talking
when he was rescued because he
had not used his voice for long
periods of time when he was alone
on the island.
Tweed said when he boarded
the u. S. warship off the coast of
Guam:
THE first thing I reached for
was a piece of bread and butter.

Tweed spent the most of his
furlough visiting relatives and
getting acquainted with his
youngest son, Robert. who was
only three months old when he
was evacuated from Guam with
his mother and their other son,
Ronald, in October. 1871.

Few Willow Run
Layofs Expected

Announcement in Washington
OF a eutback in bomber production
AZ Willow Run may be somewhat
misleading. the Ford News Bureau
said In a statement today.
"since the release from Wash
inxton does not refer to any
SPECIFIC dates, II may mislead
some into thinking the cutback
n to be immediate and drastic.
II II neither, according 20 infor-
nation we have received from
the air forces" the statement
said.
MORE WORK EXPECTED
+Under our present schedule,
and with the anticipated add
tional work which we have been
told we will be asked 10 do at
Willow Run, we have hopes that
we will not be forced to reduce
our working personnel at the
plant.
"willow Run expects to be
cut back gradually, starting
next month. but the original cut
will amount TO no more than a
couple Of planes q day. We
have been and are producing
one plane m hour"
EXPECT FEW LAYOFFS
Earlier, a plant spokesman said
the plant anticipated few layoffs
as a result Of the order.
The informant added, however,
that on the basis of preliminary
reports, the plants employment
situation would hinge on how
rapidly the Consolidated Vultee
Aircraft Corp. at San Diego could
convert entirely 10. production OF
B-32 Superfortresses.
whether WILLOW Run Is
affected by the order" he said,
depends upon whether Con-
solidated will convert soon to
B-Sz production. II they are
ready 20 get under way now,
Willow Run probably will alb
sorb the remainder OF Consoll-
dated's B-24 Liberator
contracts"
The spokesman said that If II
takes over Consolidated's B-24
contracts, Willow Runs employ
ment. on a decline since the first
Of the year, probably will not be
affected by the new schedules.
