William Z. Koehler, major OF

day appealed to his workers TO
contact every office and firm

donations are known to be
awaiting their call, Koehler
points out.
The vast work of charity,
health care and religious and
patriotic training represented
by the five local Community
Chest agencies faces curtailment
unless the goal is reached. The
single appeal for the Commun-
ity Chest eliminates successive
appeals all year round, and the
consequent waste of effort and
duplication of donations. Bud

mass meeting Tuesday when
County S h DOL Commissioner
Will l.. Lee and school board Of
ficials reported the states as
surance of aid in purchasing a
bus if the electors vote TO elimi-
nate the eighth grade classes
from their school, thereby re-
quiring the transportation of
students elseW ere Mount
Clemens or Fraser.
A vote on this proposition has
been clled for Nov. 8 at 8 pm.
In a session at Lansing Tues
day, Lee and school board mem
bers were informed that with
state financial aid, the cost of
a bus for the district would not
exceed $500 a year.
Certainly, three miles is too
far for a little child TO walk to
school," DR.. Eugene B. Elliott,
state school head, wrote in an
opion addressed to the Cady
board.
Principal claim of those de-
manding the bus provision is
that children of five and six
years Of age are obliged to walk
3.5 miles one way to school
(seven miles round trip from
the Heath Manor subdivision.
Throughout the year The rate Of
absenteeism is high, but during
inclement weather the younger
children stay away for days at
time.
The problem faced by young
children during bad weather is
not denied or discounted by
any school officials, including
Lee, director Jack Moran, Mod
orator Carl Swanson and Treas
urer George Kelly; or by the
teaching staff, Mrs. Elizabeth
Houtteman, Mrs. Tunis Monte or
Beatrice Hatch. All admit that
bus transportation is desirable
for the approximately so chill
drcn living outside the easy
walking distance" area in the
school district.

CINE the war in Europe continu-
ing beyond 1945.
Alexander said the original
plan for attacking the Gothic
Line had been altered because Of
the withdrawal of all French di-
visions and some American divi-
sions for the invasion of south
ern France.
He said he could not explain
why the Germans left so many
troops in Italy as the Allied ring
around Germany frightened from
the west and the east, or why
the Nazis continued to pump re-
Inducements into the enemy line
in northern Italy.
Alexander traced the course Of
the campaign from the time Of
its planning in Tunisia in April
l943.
In the IA months since the
first landing, the General said,
$1,000 square miles of Italian
territory have been liberated. He
said the equivalent Of Is of the
30 German divisions engaged
since May IL has been totally
destroyed. He added there were
1914 900 enemy casualties, includ-
ing $4,000 dead and 100000
wounded.
Alexander told Of great feats
of Allied engineers n building
$4,000 feet of bridging and lift
ing 1900 mines in a period of
AZ hours at one airfield and &c.
800 mines at Livorna.

in 1910 he was deprived OF his
French citizenship.
In a new maneuver the French
Communist party has designated
Horez as one Of its delegates in
the forthcoming consultative
assembly opening Nov. 7.
Gen. Charles DeGaulle must
consent by then to permit Thor
ez TO return, or face a Commun-
list accusation that he is throt-
Ting free choice of representa-
ton in the assembly. Thorez
was one of the party's deputies
in the old chamber.
Conversely, if the DeGaulle
cabinet drops the charges, it can
be accused of sanctioning deSer-
tion-against all army codes and
discipline-for political advant-
age in the face Of partisan pres
sure.
Thorez continues to influence
the French political scene by re-
mote control through Moscow
radio broadcasts beamed to the
homeland and widely publicized
in the Communist Press.
His recent statements have
called for total mobilization of
French resources for war, as
serting France should place
more than million men on the
battle lines instead Of "only two
or three divisions"
Thorez had accepted a COM
mission in the French Army and
was on a one hour pass when he
heard the decision of the Dala-
der government lifting the inn
munity given legislators and
ordering the arrest Of all Com
munist leaders. Thorez left the
country instead Of returning to
his barracks.

Summers has seen a lot of war;
but he doesn't say much about
it.
The fact, however, that he
was under Japanese attack
when TOTO unleaShed the sneak
punch at Pearl Harbor, that he
put in approximately ID months
in combat against the enemy in
the South Pacific and that, for
the past year and half, he has
served as deputy commander of
the Third Chinese Fighter
group, in China, paints a sketchy
background TO his active service.
Colonel Summers admits to few
personal experiences but this
much IS true:
He shot down at least one
Japanese bomber and, subSe-
quently was himself shot down
over mountainous terrain that
set him afoot and wounded in
wild country through which he
doggedly trekked his way for
IA days before reaching the safe
ty Of Chinese American lines.
Fully recovered from his
wounds the young flying colonel
is now enjoying a we'll earned
rest with his wife and their four

Frederick, Okla, where he will
