HOSPITAL LIFE is not fun,
as Gunner's Mate William T.
Ellis, U. S. Navy will tell you,
for he spent three months in d
New Hebrides hospital and has
been convalescing for some time
in Oakland, Calf, after being
wounded in the South Pacific
But even though life in a
Wheelchair is unsatisfactory, it
has its bright side, he points out
like seeing movie stars and
celebrities at close hand, and
talking to famous people like
Bling Crosby, Abbott g. Cos
tello, etc.
The other day Billie phoned
his mother, Mrs. Vail j. Ellis
and asked her to guess who
had talked to him. She
couldn't at first, until he gave
her a clue: THAT man who
scared the wits out of us one
night on the radio" OR
son Welles!", guessed Mrs. E.,
and she was right. To
prove it, he mailed home the
new $40 bill Orson autograph
ed for him. -. Another cheer
full note: Several Mount Glenn
ems folks visited young Ellis
at the California hospital.
FOR FOUR YEARS there has
been little clothing manufac-
tured in Europe. The babe
coming into a world laundering
with bombs and cannon fire has
been swathed in ragged scraps
of cloth, worn thin by countless
changing owners -. and the
elderly have wrapped them
selves in worn garments which
in any civilized time would have
been thrown on the ash heap.
Clothing is needed for
countless thousands from in
fancy to age. Clothing must
be given to these needy peoples
before winter grips Europe. 4.
To whom can they turn but to
America, where a slight sign Of
wear Eyes, even style change)
often means the discarding Of
a disable garment.
The United Nations Relief
G. Rehabilitation Administra-
ton is now backing a nation
wide appeal for clothing dona-
tions. Gifts of used but
usuable clothing for men,
women and little children =.
Yes and blankets, bedsheets,
pillow cases too. -. Anything
clean, warm and substantial
that can give comfort for
some homeless, war-wOrn re-
fugee. Mount Clemens is
going to do its share, and
more than its share in this
effort. Clothing must be
turned in between next Sun
day and the end Of the coming
week. Give it to your
church. . attend the Bundle
Tea at the USO next Friday
afternoon. or watch this
paper for collection plans. ..
But, above all, please give!
WELCOME HOME, Rev. Joe
Kennedy, and we hope you and
Mrs. K, enjoyed healthful and
pleasant rest at Drummond
Island Now back TO work
