With Mrs. Roberts in Rose
vile were the younger children:
Nancy, age five, Michael, three,
and Charles age two years.
Today, for the first time in
nearly five months they are all
under one roof - and Roberts
doesn't care what happens here
after, be it court or Jail.
The Rogers family is now
taking its turn of the farming
OUT procedure. Rogers, a Mount
Clemens dairy route driver, has
stored his furniture in the
large Roberts garage and his
daughters, Deloris and Marlene
have found separate accommo-
dations.
Deloris has a child and a hus-
band in service overseas. Two
sons, Charles and Donald are on
overseas service.
Roberts, who backed up his
ownership by defying anyone -
Rogers, courts or deputies to
stop him - is an inspector on
government contracts at the
Chris Craft plant at Algonac.
HOME WAS SOLD
The Roberts home in Port
Huron was sold early this year,
and knowing of the approaching
sale, the Roberts invested $4,000
in the Mount Clemens house -
their first home ownership
They point out that they quit
their Port Huron house we'll in
advance of the time set for their
departure because they felt it
was "the fair thing to do towards
the new owners"
They sold some of their fur
niture and stored the rest. For
a time Mr.. and Mrs. Roberts
lived in a garage-storage room
with the furniture while they
settled their precious brood in
Algonac, st. Clair, Marine City
and Roseville.
Meanwhile we paid out S48
a month on the contract at III
Clinton street, in addition to
paying separate room and board
for all of us" Mrs. Roberts
pointed out.
Through Circuit Court Com
missioner John H. Nunneley,
Roberts gave Rogers notice of 80
days on May IL. When this ex-
pired, Rogers obtained a 30
day extension, and two weeks
elapsed after this had expired.
DEFIED THREATS
Roberts then went to Rogers
attorney, Frank E. Jeanette and
demanded a 24-hour notice
against Rogers, and when this
failed to bring action, he in
formed Jeanette that he was
personally going to take charge
of the house regardless Of
Jeannette's threat to obtain an
Injunction restraining Roberts
and hating any sheriffs action
in removing Rogers furniture.
But Roberts business-like ap-
pearance at 1T Clinton street 48
hours ago convinced Rogers the
battle was lost. He invited Rob-
erts in and offered to clear two
bedrooms for him.
Rogers claims that he has been
trying since June to obtain hous-
ing accommodations but was
unsuccessful.

More than 100000 babies are
born annually without a doctor in
attendance. There is only one certi-
fled obstetrician to 1000 registered
births. Obviously those obstretri-
clans cannot handle the actual serv-
ice to all these patients. Even from
the standpoint of consultation their
number is insufficient because of
their concentration. These special
lists for the most part are in the
larger metropolitan areas.

fourths of the rural counties were

the Jackson Negro Chamber of
Commerce in studying methods to
improve race relations in the city.
The committee, which includes
in its membership Leland Speed,
Jackson's mayor-elect, who takes
office on Jan. 1, is the first of it's
kind ever organized in Mississippi.

CITES NEED FOR MATERNAL
HEALTH SERVICE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Kath-
crime F. Lenroot, who this week
celebrated her tenth anniversary
as chief of the Children's Bureau,
United United States Department
of Labor, has compiled some statis-
tics on the need for care of children
by local, State and Federal health
authorities. Miss Lenroot reported:
Three million babies were born
in 1943, sustaining the all-time
high birth record set in 1912. And
the nation has approximately 49,
100000 boys and girls under 16
years of age.
In the years approximating
those in which Social Security funds
have been available for maternal
and child-health services, the ma
ternal mortality rate in this country
has been reduced over one-half, or
from SO deaths per 10000 live
births in 1884 to 26 26 deaths (per
100000 in 1912. In the same period,
the infant deaths per 1000 live
births in 1884 to 26 deaths (per
The record, however is not all
good, for it represents a great un-
evenness in mortality by sections
of the country and by race. AS for
the latter, the mortality rate for
Negro mothers is two and one-half
times that for the whites. In 1912,
sixteen States had rates under 20
maternal deaths for 10000 live
births, but five had rates above 49,
the highest being 53.2 in South
Carolina. The rate is closely related
to care or lack of care given mothers
in pregnancy and childbirth.
Fifty per cent of the deaths OF
mothers in childbirth, it is esti
mated, might have been prevented
had the mothers had proper care
and many of the babies might have
been saved had adequate medica
and hospital care been available
The size of the problem confronting
this nation is getting good matern
ity and infant care to all mothers

In an interview, he put the entire
blame on a few BLANK Blank Agi-

"The policy at Fort Knox is that
a man in uniform is a soldier and
all soldiers get treated the same"
he declared. "But they are ex-
pected to stay in their places, stay
in line, and not try to get out of
line" When they do, he stated,
"They are upsetting the system"
The Colonel claimed to have
known colored people all his life;
that he grew up with them. He
says he knows they do not want to
sit scattered around the theatre.
II have noticed on the buses, the
parties want to sit together. We
assigned these seats in the theatre
so the parties can sit together.
When they come in, the ushers lead
them to that section, just as if you
had children-when children come
into theatre you lead them to the
section for them"

Parker, and finally demanded that
