Justice West As Well
As Mr.. Reid Born Here
Two Members Of High TribunoI
Born on Forms Few Miles Aport

Justice Neil E. Reid. native
son of Macomb County, Is not
the only Macomb County man
on the states highest judicial
tribunal.
The little known fact that
Supreme Court Justice Howard
West, recently honored by his
assoc a es in Lansing and
throughout the state, was born
in Macomb County, was revealed
in an attractive brochure pub.
lished to commemorate this oc-
Casion.
Mr.. Justice West was born
west of Washington village, IL
what was then known as the
Lockwood district, from several
Lockwood brothers farms near
by. He is the son of the late
Jacob and Elizabeth West.
A few years later. and not so
many miles distant, Neil E. Reid
was born on a farm six miles
from Romeo. They never met.
until both were we'll advanced in
the law field, yet today they sit
as "neighbor boys" on the Su-
preme Court bench. -
Incidentally, when Neil E.
Reid, a young court stenogra-
pher was busy working in De-
troit courts and studying short
hand in Detroit in the eos, he
worked daily in an office with a
sign over the door: Atkinson,
West e. Atkinson" West had
left at that time to pursue the
practise of law elsewhere, but
his name remained for years on
the law office door. behind
which Neil Reid labored, unwit-
tingly following in the path of
another Macomb County native.
Mr.. Justice West left Macomb
County as young boy, when his
parents removed to Pontiac.
His rise in the legal profession
was phenomenal, even in the
'80's and '90's when long sched-
ules of schooling were not man
datory. Mr.. Justice West left A
machine shop at the age of 20 to
study law with Atkinson & At
kinson, and after only one years
study was admitted to the bar in
1885 during an examination in
open court.
From 1887 to 1888 LAWYER
West served as Wayne County
Circuit Court Commissioner.
On Jan. IS, 1921, at the age of
AZ, he was appointed to the Su-
preme Court of Michigan. In the
interim, Mr. Justice West has
been noted for his industry and
honored for his brilliant legal
opinions and rulings. He alone
wrote l 400 of the recorded SUI
preme Court opinions during the
past % years-some opinions
being as long as the average
novel, but constructed only after
months of legal research and
study. In addition to writing
opinions himself, Mr.. Justice
West participated in more
more than 10000 reported de-
cisions of the court, each partici-
patton involving days and weeks
of concentration and study.

10 Lansing in March

LANSING, Feb. 20 - (F) -
Governor Kelly said he hoped
to decide today whether a ma.
Jority of the state senate will be
called back next month to con-
firm his appointment of DR.. Will
liam DeKleine, of Washington,
D. c., and Grand Haven, as state

The governor said he would

the senate's previous failure to
reject or confirm DeKleine's APP

bar to continuing in office after

Shades of Mark Twain, Tom Sawyer, and Huck Finnl Is that the Robert E. Lee" comin' round the bend? No, dear reader, it is twelve thousand tons of mixed war cargo handled by a tow of eight or ten barges. Such a tow, incidentally, IS twenty-four times as great load as the famous Robert E. Lee" could have carried when she chug- ged along in her heyday, in the glamorous old days of river steam boats and showboats.
 We stood on the docks at Law renceburg, Indiana, where one of Schenley's principal distilleries is located-on the Ohio. The Ohio, an important inland waterway, is a prime factor in speeding the flow of essential war alcohol to the sym thetic rubber and explosive plants. And other important distilleries situated principally in sections of Kentucky, Indiana, and Pennsyl- vania are close to the waterways which are making history again. Great fleets of modern riverboats are smashing bottlenecks in vital wartime transportation.
 There they go, these steamboats, downstream over the busy liquid highways, carrying, besides, coal, coke, finished steel, grain, flour, machinery-from Pittsburgh, Chi cago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, and Minneapolis. From Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana come minelayers, destroyer escorts, patrol vessels, landing craft, hard hitting PIT boats. Down the Ohio and Illinois rivers they go into the Father of Waters and out to sea and action. The Ohio, Illinois, Monongahela, Allegheny, Kama wha, and Tennessee rivers reach into areas rich in natural resources. Industrial centers such as Pitts burgh, Cincinnati, Chicago, Louis vile, Minneapolis, St. Louis, and New Orleans are all linked by these precious waterways which have taken much of the transportation load from the ever-whirring and overburdened wheels of our rail- roads and trucks.
 What a thrill to this landlubber who stood and watched the river activity at it's all-time high! We were thinking of VICTORY, while we hummed that beloved, ." he as keeps rollin' along"

THE GHOST WALKED

Today almost all of Wrangell's windows glitter with an unusual brightness as an aftermath of Hal lowe'en shenanigans, but little real damage was done. Business men welding the brush and squeegee complained automatically, always ending by saying something like this, Boy. when 1 was kid, 1 re- member once we took old man Smiths's rowboat and"

Gates. wagons, and other objects appeared next morning in outland dish places; clotheslines trailed on the ground with their burdens if the lady of the house had been so careless as to hang out the wash, and much primitive plumbing had to be restored.
 The war has put an end to much of this mischieyousness, with it's emphasis on preservation of the things we have, and with the ten dency to frown on all kinds of sabo- tage. Today substitute has been found in free shows for the young sters, such as that sponsored Tues day night by the Elks lodge; par ties have taken the place of mar auding, and we hope the lawless era has passed into limbo.
