Predict Longer Life
For Coming Generation
Vitamins and Correct Food Habits Are
Clue to Longevity. Doctor Declares

The next generation may live ten
per cent longer than its parents
If it eats right and gets its vitamins.
This prediction was made last
night by James DePree, nutrition
Spaker and writer, before the man
ayers and sales people of the Caha-
Ian drug stores at Wyandotte.
The extra years, Mr.. DePree as
serted, should be useful years. Many
complaints associated with old age,
he charged, are in fact the penalty
of lifelong food habits. Children
given a good food and vitamin pro-
gram from birth may look forward
to extra years of youth and buoyant
middle age.
The speaker described animals,
reared in the laboratory on vitamin-
rich foods and concentrates, which
maintain to an advanced age the
appearance and energy of youth.

a good vitamin intake, the speaker
gave evidence that the Council neg

vitamins in the storage, preparation
and cooking of food.
Cited as an example Of double

leases from the recent Chicago con-
vention of the American Diebetic
Association. In one story, DR.. E. L.
Tuohy of Duluth was quoted to the
effect that the garden, not the
drugstore, should be mans source
of vitaminS. In another DR.. Robert
S. Harris of Massachusetts, Institute
of Technology stated that only z

on Proposed Veterans Memorial

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council
Wyandotte, Michigan
Gentlemen:
I would like to make my position
clear on the Veterans Memorial

election. The plans as submitted to
the Mayor and Council was the idea
OF one individual. 1t stipulated the
kind OF building; the location of
the building; the amount of money
to be spent, and even included the
architects drawings. There were q
number Of things about the PROPOSE
ton I did not like. However, voted
to place the proposal on the ballot

Dear Strauss:

Dear Strauss:
You newspaper guys really have
a racket. In any legitimate enter
prise, when a man wants any of his
work done. he hires a chap g.
pays him a good, mediocre or lousy
wage and gets his work caught
up. But in the publishing
business, all you have to do is to get
hold OF a sucker tell him to
write your column then go
galivanting round the country &.
and draw your pay check. (.
WHAT A RACKET!
So here goes =.
Let's put first things first. We
just finished up with an election.
We had everyone fighting everyone
else wife VS. husband :.
neighbor VS. neighbor friend
against friend employe VS. en-
ployer. Every one is hot and both
cred. Every one is burnt up. E.
Then comes the election the
result and the whole country
goes back to work. TO WIN
THE WAR, and GET THE BOYS
BACK HOME. This Is great
country. Nowhere on the face of
the globe DO a people take their
voting privilege so seriously &.
a~l rvAoV, al The
bitterness, the hate. the rancor,
and the differences disappear g.
and We all become JUST PLAIN
AMERICANS. Any land where peo-
pie place country over party, where
decisions are accepted in good grace
that country is worth fight
ing for and if necessary. dy-
ing for.
Since this will probably be my
first and last chance at this type
of thing I'd like to say few
things about Wyandotte. I've had
the privilege of seeing a good part
Of this mans country I've seen
the big towns the little towns
yes. even the villages :.
The big cities, to me, are a pain
in the neck. Everybody's try
ing to beat the next guy. d.
Every ones crowding every one else
right off the street, if necessary
a cold, indifferent attitude towards
everyone but yourself It's dog
eat dog. and the guy who first gets
the drop. is the guy who gets ahead.
1t takes small cities like Wyan-
dotte and the country is full
OF thsm to kinda make life
worth living. It's "Howdy,
stranger" If he doesn't know you,
or How are you. Mac" if he
does. It's that pause that
refreshes" that stop when men
pass one another to discuss
the weather, their friends, the
neighbors or their families. {.
It's What can I do for you" &.
. How can 1 help you" Maybe
I can call so and so, and get this
or that done for you" It's one
man taking time out for another.
THAT'S REAL LIVING for
you and anyone from the
big town, who diSagrees. can go
plumb jump into the lake. d.
He's living in a fools paradise &.
and he fits the place perfectly. i
hope Wyandotte never grows SO
BIG that it outgrows that
friendliness from the Mayor
down.
