ST. CLAIR SHORES Error
In the procedure whereby Bios
som Heath Inc, attempted 10
summon ST. Clair Shores COM
missioners into Circuit Court in
the inter-racial clubs licensing
case, was noted by members II
the State Supreme Court Tues
day in refusing to grant a writ
of mandamus ordering Judge
Alton H. Noe TO admit the IL
cense dispute to his court.
The court, in ex-parte session,
composed of Justice Henry But
Eel and Justice George Bush
nell, in word and action upheld
the right of Judge Noe to re-
fuse to hear the Blossom Heath
case. The Supreme Court JUS
tees found that Attorney Ern-
est Goodman, representing the
club. had used improper proceed
ure to bring his plea TO Circuit
Court.
ORDER DRAWN
They directed that an order

i'm Blossom Heath Appeal

be drawn up for their sigma
lures advising Goodman to re-
enter his petition in the Ma
comb Circuit Court with a
statement of facts in the form
of a Bill of Complaint, copy
of which should be served on
the village and answered by viii
lage officials.
The justices then provided in
their suggested order that Judge
Noe, if he found substance In
the petition, should either issue
an Order to Show Cause against
the village, requiring them to
cense should not be issued; or
explain in court why a club Ii
issue a Writ of Mandamus
against the solons ordering
them to issue a license.
The Show Cause proceeding
might entail lengthy and de-
layed court sessions. The Man
damus action is sterner and
swifter but would certainly be
strongly opposed by the village.
If Judge Noe should still de-
cline to open his court to the
clubs plea for a license (hold-
ing as he did previously that the
village has discretionary right
to refuse a license), the Justic-
es of the Supreme Court pointed
out that Blossom Heath can
then petition the Supreme Court
for a Writ of Mandamus against
Noe.
This, they pointed out might
take year to adjudicate.
George A. Francis, village at
torney, who appeared before
the Supreme Court ex-parte
hearing, explained that he did
so practically in the role of a
spectator, not a litigant, since
the village has never been serv-
cd with a summons or court Or
der in the case.
Il pointed out to Justices
Butzel and Bushnell that the
Village of st. Clair Shores, fac
ed with litigation, suddenly
finds itself in the Supreme
Court, without having previous
ly been taken into Circuit
Court" Attorney Francis said.
He said the justices found his
point a substantial one.
Judge Noe, busy on the Cir
cult bench in Mount Clemens,
did not consider his appearance
necessary before the Supreme
Court, Francis explained, be-
cause the Circuit Courts actions
spoke for themselves.
Attorney Francis and Benja-
min j. Safir (of Goodman's law
office were to meet Wednesday
to complete drawing up the or
der for the justices signatures.
No immediate court action to
resume the case is expected on
Goodman's part, since he is va
cationing in Texas.

Revive Hope
for Victim of
Sun Allergy

EAST DETROIT - Almost
abandoned hopes of the Eaton
family that their infant daugh-
ter would recover from a sun
allergy which was slowly sap
ping her life, were reborn this
week in the hearts ST the par
ents, Pruett and Lillian Eaton,
when 18-months-old Diane COM
menced to respond slowly to a
new system of medical treat
ment.
The child, who for many
weeks lay in a darkened room
in Children's Hospital, Detroit,
while eminent specialists - in
Guiding those Of the Mayo Broth
ers clinic - shook their heads
in bafflement, has recently been
exposed to daylight for periods
before sunrise and after sum
down.
SLOW PROGRESS
She appears to be making slow
progress in the life death race
to conquer the affliction known
to medicine as hematoporphyri-
nuria. of which she was Cor
might have been) the 30th victim
in all recorded medical history.
To sufferers of this rare malady,
sunshine is fatal, and specialists
from all parts of the nation, in
terested in her case six weeks
ago, could offer no improved
treatment to halt the killing dis
ease. Diane was practically con-
demned TO a slow death in a
room from which sunlight had
to be excluded.
She was sent home from Chill
dren's Hospital, hopeless case.
And then into the lives Of the
Pruett family came DR.. DOM
enico M. AnneSsa, of Detroit.
TONGUE-TWISTER
He was interested in I h e
tongue-twisting subject of he
matoporphyrinuria, and had con-
WINGED the medical director of
the Children's Hospital of his
theories. He was given permits
sion TO take over the case and
attempt a cure.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pruett. desper-
ately seeking, grasping at any
hope for their daughters recov-
cry, readily consented 10 the new
course Of treatment.
TECHNICAL METHODS
The full details Of Dr. Annes-
sa's treatment have not been
revealed. and are too technical
for the average layman. Suffi-
cient however, is the report of
results. Since the physician has
been treating Danes body with
a special preparation. LESSONS
which the sun aggravated have
disappeared, and the child's
blood count has risen. She no
longer requires blood transfu
sions (Which kept her alive at
the hospitaD, and she has not
lost any more weight.
Daylight, which was deadly to
her, Is now part of her treatment,
and her brief periods spent out
doors are a great encourage
ment TO her parents.
Although neither the Pruetts
or their specializing physician
will express too much optimism
regarding Danes case, all adj
that a noticeable improve
ment has set in. Deep in their
hearts, the Pruetts - including
Carol, age six, and Allen, age
four - are convinced that Di-
ane will eventually be spared
TO them.
The humble Pruett home at
15029 Crescentwood, East De-
troit, may soon be opened TO

It's Private War to Some Fighters

Dawes stick of paratroope over the flax
fringed Channel from England missed
his cue by around 7 miles, but Dave
and the rest Of the boys didn't know
that as the red light flashed in the
airplane and the jumpmaster COM
manded, Stand UP and hook up" As
the boys went out the ooor of the plane
they assumed they we're over the drop
zone and would quickly meet their own
kind, assemble and start killing Ger
mans.
Not as Planned.
1t wasn't exactly that way. They
started killing Germans all right, but
they didn't meet any of their own kind
at the start. In fact, they met very
few of the boys with the air-borne
shoulder patch and the eagle. But they
did gather together some remnants of
other sticks dropped nearby and they
met man Dave Harmon says he'd 20

IN go anywhere Col. Millener goes.
And we'll win"
Their job there in Normandy was to
destroy some bridges and raise lot of
high-class hell behind the Nazi lines.
In the dark dawn Of Delay they missed
the bridges. They could hardly know
they were some miles south of them
and that they had lot of swamp to
cross and some villages to get through
and considerable number of Germans
to kill to get to division headquarters
where they could get information on
how the war was going.
Their Own War
That was something they didn't know
from the moment they hit the tracer
crossed field smack In the middle of .
bunch OF Germans with machine guns.
AS far as they were concerned, the war
was pretty personal and keeping alive
and killing Germans was the main idea
at the time. They knew nothing OF the
grand strategy going on elsewhere, the
moves and attacks and counterattacks
They were busy with little more or
less private war Of their own, and try
ing to get back to some one who knew
how the main war was getting along.
Getting back wasn't easy. They knew
only In : general way that the way back
was north. and their destination was
the little crossroads town Of Hiesville.
They didn't know whether there would
be any Americans around or not, il they
got there. But on In that direction they
could hear, between the machine-gun
and mortar bursts. some artillery cut
ting loose and they knew from that
some lighting was going on up there.
Col. Millener recognized early IN the
business that Dave Harmon was lot

dent or two that! Dave knew how to

charge OF platoon as the little group
OF IL grew hourly into a larger group.
Altogether we gathered about As men"
said Dave. Every man armed to the
teeth with anything to kill Germans,
and anxious to do just that. We didn't
have much information about where
they were when we started, but the
French took care of that. We would ask
them where the Germans were, and how
many there were, and the French never
missed with the right answer. They
seemed glad to see us, and we wouldn't
have eaten very much if it hadn't been
for them.
Crossing the River
Right on the bat we were lucky. We
found quite bunch of krauts around
our drop area and cleaned em out
pronto. Then when we found there was
a big concentration ahead of us we
began hiding out by day and travelling
by night. Jerry had flooded some of that
fat country down there and we knew
we couldn't wade across a river. So we
hid out and made a deal with the
French to row us across the river at
night. The boat would only carry six
men and there were about As of us. so
you can see the French boatmen did
quite a job. The Germans spotted us
as the last boat crossed, but by that
time we had enough men across to clean
up that situation.
1--WE found a German ammunition
dump. I'll bet those ferries were sur
prised when we poured lot of demoli-
ton stuff right in the middle of his
dump and the heavy stuff started going
on. 1t burned and exploded long time.
but by that time we were away from
there.
Cleaning Up on the Way
ut made the Jerry pretty mad and he
began hunting for us-with tanks and
other things.> We had some rifle gre
nades with us, which was plenty lucky,
and also few AT tantitank) grenades.
So we got two tanks with those things
and Jerry learned that even though we
didn't have any heavy stun, it didn't pay
to fool around.
That made some of the boys even
more eager. They went after some half.
tracks and some heavy trucks. We crept
up on them at night and touched them
OF. We found the men in them later.
They had been asleep. When we found
'em, they were not in one piece. We
found German bomber parked near
hedgerow, well camouhaged. We touched
that Oh, too, with mortars. That one.
we knew, wouldn't bomb any more
hospitals.
Tt took quite while. hiding by day
and doing the things told you about,
to cover that short distance back to
Hiesville. We found out later it was
only a few miles, but it seemed like
million. Through it all Col. Millener
Unanswered us like an army. That was
the main idea, to make the Germans
think there were lot Of u.s.
How many Germans did you get?" I

there spread his faro and turned his
roulette to considerable profit.
"Mr. Fox was as said, a solitary man,
and his familiar figure on Pennsylvania

don't remember ever seeing him speak
to any one in his walks. He went little
into society, though admirably fitted to
adorn it by his accomplishments and
talents"
But Minister Fox did have one admir-
able trait, for he was lover of flowers,
and delighted in his rose garden and
spent much time cultivating the bushes.
He even surrounded the garden with
brick wall in order chat he might enjoy
them alone.
Subsequently, the old Fox home, now
numbered 1900 K street, was acquired
by George w. Riggs, who sold it to st.
AIMS Infant Asylum, and with addi-
tions and notifications, 1t still remains
standing.
