"Thou shalt not bear false witness
against Thy neighbOr" is still one of
the Ten Commandments.
No doubt nine u t of ten people

sin they never commit. But, try list

Mother Rescues
Son, 5, From
Blazing House

BASELINE - A fear-crazed
mother who returned to her
home Monday afternoon TO find
smoke and flames pouring from
the window of room in which
she had left her fiVe-year-old
son, unhesitatingly fought her
way through the flames and res
cued the child.
The heroine mother and child
both unframed - are Mrs.
Amelio Sanchez, 81, of 1884
Fisher avenue, Base Line, and
her son, Jackie.
The near-tragedy took place
shortly after 4 pm, when Mrs.
Sanchez, wife of a war worker,
made a quick trip TO a corner
grocery store. She left her son
playing in the living room.
AS Jackie later explained, he
found some matches and struck
them, and shortly after the cur
tains caught fire.
Fire Chief William Van Hulle,
of the Warren Township Fire
Department, whose men kept
the fire damage to a $500
minimum, was amazed at the
child surviving the fire ordeal.

Van Dyke City
Vote Assured
Ntorren Voters TO
Decide Issue

Van DYKE-Last legal bar
rier TO the scheduled Nov z
election on the proposed incor-
poration Of the City of Van
Dyke appeared TO have been
removed Tuesday when the
Michigan Supreme Court de-
MED an appeal for an injunction
banning the election.
Circuit Judge Theodore j
Richter, of Detroit, had previ-
ously denied a similar petition
filed on behalf of two Warren
township property owners.
The issue hinges upon the
preference of the residents OF
that portion of Warren township
extending north from the Eight
Mile road to, approximately, the
Nine and one-half mile road,
for Inauguration of city govern
ment as contrasted to township
governmental machinery.
II approved by the voters the
proposal will embrace not only
the Nine Mile road-Van Dyke
avenue business and residential
section but most of the large
manufacturing plants in the
area such as Carboloy, Rotary
Electric Steel, Colonial Breach,
Dodge Truck, Naval Arsenal
and dozens of others.

Vast Drain Program
Now in State Hands
County Is Seeking
S3,30l,OOO Benefit

The State Planning Commits
sion is at present considering
approval of $3,301,000 worth of
postwar drainage projects in
Macomb County, notably the
S3,10O,OO0 Nine Mile Relief
Drain which extends across
South Macomb from Dequindre
to the lake.
The projects were submitted
prior to the Nov. l deadline by
Drain Commissioner William c.
Harper, and include "A open and
closed drains located in every
section of the county. Harper
claims that approval of the prof.
ects, and a grant for preliminary
expenses, is practically assured.
Although no comment has
been made by Detroit regarding
drainage problems in its pro-
posed condemnation Of a War
rem Township airport site, Har-
per points out that in any future
airport plans in that area, the
Nine Mile relief drain would be
necessity. If an airport was con-
structed in that area, Harper
claims, additional drainage to
the large relief drain and drains
already on the postwar schedule
would be needed. The Drain Of
flee has never been approached
by Detroit for planning on this
phase of the proposed airport
project.

Premonition OF
FateCon,es True
BY CPL. HOWARD b. WOODS

OAKLAND, Calif.-A strange
premonition Of his fate was written
in letter received from lst
Lieut.. Roger Romine. 24-year-old
fighter pilot, who was killed in ac-
ton on November l6, while serv-
ing with the 332nd Fighter group in
Italy.
1t. Romine's letter, sent to his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer
Romine. 829 Thirty-sixth street, ar
rived four months ago on the same
day he downed his second and third
enemy planes.
I'VE are all afraid he wrote,
but chance decides in most cases.
when the question is put to a
man asking that should he cross
the line will he be brave-his mind
swings from flame to fear, reason
appears and disappears When the
watch stops you may find the man
anywhere between. Flame and fear
and chance, then, can make
man hero or a fool"
1t. Romine was among the hrst
Negro officers commissioned from
this area and according to official
figures, up to last July he had been
credited with the shooting down
Of three enemy planes. Informa-
ton of his accomplishments since
that time are not available.
A few weeks ago, he was award
ed the fifth Oak Leaf Cluster to the
Air Medal.
AS a student at Technical high
school here, Romine established .
new high school jump record
After graduation, he attended Sa'
linas Junior college, but later
transferred to San Jose State tc
take his preliminary training ir
aeronautics.
With only six months left in his
studies in bacteriology and archi'
tectural drawing, he enlisted in the
army air force.
He was commissioned In Septem-
Der, l943, and went overseas in De-
cember.
