The Huron Navy Mothers Club
concluded a most successful two
day tag sale, Friday night. Thurs
day they were at the Willow Run
Bomber Plant and Friday In the
city.
About 40 women, members and
friends of the club, under the direc-
ton OF Mrs. Ivele Grub, were sta
toned at the various entrances Of
the Bomber Plant, Thursday, and
received the generous donations OF
the many employees as they entered
the factory, both morning and al
ternoon on their respective shifts.
On Friday, the response to this
Navy welfare group was just as
whole-hearted and generous from
the citizens OF Ypsilanti.
The Navy Mothers were well
pleased with results OF their two
day effort, which will enable them
10 continue their welfare work liz
behalf OF all service men, those in
the Navy, Navy Reserve, Coast
Guard and Marine Corps, particular
ly.
SO that the employees OF the
Bomber Plant and the citizens OF
the Ypsilanti Community may know
in what way their gifts of money
will be used. the Navy Mothers
wish to explain that there are many
ways in which their organization
can be OF help to the men and wom'
en- in the armed services; also.
that this tag day money will all be
used for these purposes.
Since the local club cannot per-
sonally help many Navy men be-
cause so few are stationed nearby,
a sum of money is sent each year
to the national organization, Navy
Mothers Clubs OF America" to be
allotted to Navy Mothers Clubs In
the coastal cities. which are able to
do much good with It in the way OF
Navq relief. canteen work, hospital

Farm School

An eight-session school for young men
who are now farming and who expect to
make farming a lifetime occupation has
been organized in Medina, Ohio by the
county agricultural extension office.
Specialists in the field of agriculture will
assist in teaching the courses.
The theory behind this intelligent COM
munity effort is that the opportunity OF a
lifetime lies ahead for the young farmer
who knows modern farming methods and
learns what makes a farm pay good prof
it. Among the topics which will be dis
cussed are efficient utilization of labor,
power and equipment; farm layout; ar
rangement for greatest efficiency; rota-
tons and cropping practices; and econoni-
cal farm management. A school for farm
women, sponsored by local All club, will
run concurrently and sometimes jointly
with that for the men.
AS so much farm training is being ne
elected on account of the war, the COM
munities which are encouraging farm ed
ucation are showing real forethought. BY
the time CT Joes of this war begin to re-
turn to the farms, helpful training pro-
gram will be already established for them.
Here is a program which might be wisely
followed by many farm communities.

Plenty OF Matches

A check-up on the shortage of matches
makes it clear that there is no danger that
we will have to go back to rubbing stones
together to make fire.
In fact, figures supplied by the match
industry indicate that no real match short
age exists-tIlat it has merely become
necessary, temporarily, for us to change
our habit of using safety matches and use
"strike anywhere" matches.
The shortage of safety matches has re-
suited from WPB order that all strike
on-box matches, and $3.50 of all paper book
Matches are to be sent overseas. So civil
ians, for the time being, will have to go
back to the large wooden matches which
are still being made in abundance.
The match industry points out that
these big matches are more economical
than the smaller box or paper Matches
since in a cent box you get $50 matches
whereas in penny box of safety matches
there are only 40 matches and in paper
folder only 20. A little arithmetic shows
that the 36O-box for nickle is by far the
best buy.
There is no need to store away boxes
of these matches for an emergency. The
match industry is now making 200 billion
of them a year for civilians-and that is
plenty to hndle all the fires and light all
the smokes we will ever need.

Tell Me ON Indian
New Years Story

The ceremonial for the snow has
passed, when enemies are forgiven
and harsh words forgotten, as new
trail has been blazed for all through
the New Years festivities.
The storytelling grandmother has
taught the ancient chants and GUS
toms through the beads Of the
strings of historic wampum; but now
she again has time to entertain the
children.
Gathered around her lodge-fire,
they plead for another story with
their bright eyes and shrill voices.
To satisfy them, she tells an ancient
legend about the clouds.
Long moons ago when the world
was first made, the sky at win
tertime was cloudless much as it is
on clear midsummer days. The
ground was covered with white snow
and the trees. except the pines, stood
bare. The cold wind whistled around
the bark cabins; and with cloud
less sky, everything above and be-
low looked dreary.
THE children, too, missed the
green leaves and changing colors
over the landscape and they gave a
wish that the sky might have clouds
now and then. 1t is true, dark-gray,
fierce-looking clouds came in great
masses and covered all the sky and
let down snowfakes to amuse the
children. But the children also
wished for bright clouds and the old
bear in the sky heard their wishes.
$50 the old bear blew his moist
breath into the heavy clouds and
broke them up; he even made
humps in some of them, and held
on to the corners Of others, until
when they passed over the village,
each cloud had a different shape,
some like bears, some like wild cats,
some like hills and even some like
funny people. Ever afterward, the
clouds took these strange shapes
to bring smiles and ina gination to
all children in midwinter. DIR.

New Year Greetings

Next Monday we begin new year and
we take this occasion to extend to you our
best wishes for health, happiness, success
and victory Most of us have undergone
hardships of one kind or another during
the past year and according to predictions
will probably experience more during
1915. But we firmly believe that Ameri-
whatever it takes to bring about victory
and peace.
With added courage and resolution,
we are looking ahead hopefully and in this
hope we can see happier, brighter future
for the entire world.
During the past year we have made
much progress toward winning the war
and with renewed efforts, we believe that
we can attain much more progress in 1945.
It is true that the past year and parti-
cularly the last few weeks have brought
much suffering; but when we consider
this in the light of the whole picture, we
must remember that it is only temporary.
When the doctor says, "This may hurt for
a few minutes" most of us are able to grit
our teeth and take whatever temporary
pain may be administered to u.s. And thus
in 1915 as we still face total war on many
fronts we must tighten our belts, double
our efforts and perform all tasks necessary
for victory and peace. We must keep our
mind on the final goal, make every effort
to reach it; for it is only in reaching it that
we will achieve any measure of any "Hap-
ply New Year." in years to come. We can
resolve that 1915 will be year in which
we will help rid the world of Threaded
disease" Hitlerism And certainly the
world will be made happier with this
achievement.

GERMANS PUSHING
DEEPER IN BELGIUM

The news of the new German
punch deeper into Belgium was
coupled with the disclosure that
Won Rundstedt has two full Ger
man armies and probably a third
employed in his offensive.
The Red army today completed
the enlightenment of Budapest and
drove two miles inside the city
limit from the west, booming the
German and Hungarian garrison
which originally numbered an es-
timated 100000 men.
Marshal Feodor I. Tolbukhin's
third Ukraine army troops thrust
to the Danube both above and be-
low Budapest and seized at least
nine of the Hungarian capitals
solidly-built-up suburbs, pene-
trating the city limits at numer-
GUS points. One of these, Lipot-
mezo, was only two and one-halt
miles west of the Danube where
the river bisects the city.
Aerial warfare in the far Pac-
ific is hitting a hotter pace, with
American squadrons stepping ur
their attacks on japanese airfield
