The G.I. jivers and the cute chicks really came on to the rhythms of Section C's Four. Even our top hash burner of the beanery got the feel and did his little hustle. That cat came on like thun- der. We almost blew our top when we dug so many fine femmes jump ing like mad. Our top did rise when one of the cats hipped us that one of the 'de-icers' wanted to knock us a scoff at the ace beanery in the main burg, so we cut out in her joy wagon and eased in on the beans.
 As said to you before, Pvt. Bob Braizer, you had better take it easy. Trains still leave Chicago on the hour every hour.
 We had jolly time at the beach with the glamour girls of the Can teen last weekend but the time was shortened by an uninvited rat tlesnake. So the gals moved into the Canteen. Good old Canteen. Don't forget it's for us: lets enjoy it.
 Pvt. W. Garrison, the stuff that you are putting down to a certain little miss isn't clicking. You had better wake up for there is young wolf on your trail.
 'Tis said that Pvt. c. Morgan is about to make a double exposure and he is looking for moon. Bub, if you mean it, any old forty watt bulb will beam enough to ask her to pose with you for life.
 We looked all over the place for BEAM last Sunday but couldn't fine one. Today we were told that S/Sgt. Watson had taken them all because he was the Non-Com fea- tured last week and he wanted the pictures.
 Now that Pvt. Grover Price is back we wonder if he will take up where he left off with the little Miss from Hayden's Station?
 It looks like Pvt. B. Daniels is getting on the ball with a Miss from around the Locks. Now that all the ranking Non- Cons are on rubber, we can't see any reason that we should walk. How about it Sergeants?
 See some mighty long faces a. round the area now that fall has almost arrived and some of the lovely ladies are headed home. We would like to say so long to you girls and thanks for making our summer very pleasant. Come back and see our Christmas tree. We must watch Pvt. L. Craig and see just what he intends to do. We wonder if he overplayed his hand.
 [ Congratulations to Pvt. Leonard Blanks and his bride, very lovely lady. We wish you both the best that life can give.
 A fair warning to the new boys: while wolfing around don't get caught in any of the traps that we old wolves have set.
 What was it that had Pvt. B. Weaver's eyes aglow last week? Of course we know that the glow was we'll under control. Wish we had that control.
 Slowly but surely our band is enlarging. We have a new sax player with us and he sounds promising. Good footing, fellow, we need you.
 We have two football teams, sandlot type, fighting it out, at the writing of this column. At the mo- ment the Line Boys have six to nothing lead over the Mess Boys. You should really dig one of these games.

We do not know if any

When elected as your
sheriff on Nov. 9TH Rob-
ert c. Havel will lay a
new plan before the Board
Of Supervisors in regard
to the traffic conditions Of
this county. This plan will
be similar to the one pro-
posed about three years
ago by Fred Endres of
Fraser, who proposed this
plan in response to a call
for help in solving the bad
traffic and accident rec
ord on our county high
ways. Below is an exact
copy of the letter as writ
ten by MIR. Endres and
published in tn Q Daily
Leader at that time.
VOICE OF PUBLIC
OPINION
Major problem OF the
sheriff. department at
the present time as
pointed out in our recent
column and strongly as
serted by Sheriff Jacob
F. Theut is the in
creasing toll of traffic &C.
cidents S O m e thing
WiH certainly be done
about it and for the
past few days Sheriff
Theut has spent eUery
hour of his free time dis
cussing the pros and cons
of traffic problems. In
our recent column lDe ap-
pealed for suggestions to
be sent to the sheriff for
study 80 far he has
received a half-dozen tel
ephons calls and several
letters, including one from
a Psychology student at
Mt. Clemens High School.
In our mail today comes
a UsH studied recipe for
improved traffic safety
conditions 1t comes
from one experienced in
such matters and lDs
feel sure Sheriff Theut
will read Il Nth interest.
III noticed a fe,D days
ago that you asked the
people of Macomb Coun-
ty to suggest any plans
they might haze to cut
doUn the number OF acci-
dents Having spent
4 years as a regular dep
uty sheriff, and haUing
made a separate study OF
traffic in Macomb Coun-
ty, / haze devised a plan
that Uould not cost oUer
SIS, 900 a year to put into
effect land / knoW of no
constructive plan that isn't
going to cost some money!
and ! Will stake my
life that it WiU cut doDn
accidents at least 40 per
cent Within six months
after being adopted and
carried out The plan
is as follops: -
I) Appoint one man as
traffic director His
duties tDould be to check
the record of every driver
receiving a violation tick
ct and make recommend
atoms to the Prosecutor
and Judge according to
the past record. This man
should also Investigate eU-
cry accident.

rible ordeal on this earth
for you to endure than to
have a policeman call at
dead of night and have
to tell you that your son,
your daughter, your hus-
band, your wife or per-
haps your father or moth
er have been in a bad ac-
cident and are all mang-
led and dying in a hos
pital or even worse, that
they are dead and are in
the morgue. We do not
think or claim that all this
can be changed over night
but We do believe that
the first year this bad ac-
cident record can be cut
down at least ten percent
and then the second and
following years it should
be possible to cut the ex-
listing bad record by forty
or even fifty percent if
every one concerned with
law enforcement d es
their duty without fear.
Look at the plan Detroit
put into effect several
years ago, it is just now
showing what q plan If
properly enforced can do.
Surely a. a taxpayer and
voter of this county you
should be in favor of a
plan that will save life and
property. Who knows, it
may save your life or
some one near and dear
to you.
HAVEL'S RECORD
Mr.. and Mrs. Voter, we
again appeal to you if you
are in favor of starting
this kind of a plan in Ma
comb County then get out
and vote on Nov. 9TH for
Robert G. Havel for Sher-
iff As he is the only per-
son that has pledged and
promised to put this or
some similar plan into Eff
feet soon after he takes
over the sheriffs office on
Jan. l, l945. Mr.. Havel
knows It will mean q lot
of extra work for him and
his staff but a. the records
will show, from Jan. l,
1887 to Dec. 81, 1910,
while Mr.. Havel was your
sheriff he was always will
ing to shoulder extra du-
ties and some at his own
personal expense such a.
buying and equipping an
extra ambulance for Civ
ing better and quicker SER
vice in cases Of bad acci-
dents where a large num-
Der of persons were injur-
ed.
1t was also during his
time in office that your
county scout cars were
equipped so they could be
used a. ambulances and
thus take care Of injured
persons in a humane way
instead of just throwing
them in the back seat ~
was done in former years.
Also during his time in Of
flee your county scout cars
were equipped with two
way radio sets with the
recommendation Of Mr..
Havel 90 let's all get out
and vote for Robert c.
Havel for Sheriff and lst
him do some more good
constructive things for
this county and IL pso. y
pie.
