quarters asserted today orders
issued in other states 10 resume
the drafting OF men over 20
years of age not employed in
essential work would have no
counterpart in Michigan be-
cause this state never stopped
the drafting of that classified

Brig. Gen. Leroy Pearson,
State director, explained some
states postponed the drafting OF
all men over IS years on April 8
until they caught up with a
backlog of men under that age.
Now they are resuming the
drafting of men over 20.
In Michigan, we have con-
tinued to take men over rs

contributing 10 the war effort in
some way. So there is no need
for us to change our orders to

Congressman Cool
Toward Labor Draft
Prove AIoof TO Army-Navy
Joint Recommend otion

WASHINGTON, April 81 -
Up A "try-to- get-it" attitude
was the reaction of the House
Military Committee today to a
joint Army Navy Maritime Com
mission request for labor draft
legislation.
T he joint recommendation
followed by less than five hours
the committees report on draft
deferments generally and AZ S
in particular. Briefly, the com
mittee held that existing law
was adequate 10 allow govern
ment agencies TO force into linn
tied military service 4-Fs and
men between 38 and as who re-
fuse 10 take jobs in essential
industry when Jobs are avail
able.
The committee long has OPP
posed compulsory labor legis-
lation and without its backing
such legislation cannot reach the
House flood.
1--WE have spoken and we
meant what We said Chair
man May (D-KyD declared when
asked il the joint recommends
ton might persuade the COM
mittee to alter its position. my
committee made a report say
ing we do not need new legis-
lation after hearing heads Of
the government agencies involv-
ed. Just why they should wait
until right after we have made
our report before they make
their recommendation is beyond
me- If they have any recommen.
dations for legislation tn e y
should come TO Congress with
them"
Rep. Costello (D-Calif). who
headed the subcommittee that
made the deferment study pre-
dicted there would be no labor
legislation this year.
THE problem can be handled
without legislation" he asserted
"Selective Service can induct
men now if they won't take the
Jobs they are needed for. A
little action along that line
would have very good results"

Mount Clemens very own ol-
bino robin.
Clarence Shirley tells it this
way. The feathered friend
arrived at their property early
in the Spring, 1943, and was
particularly noticed because of
the white feathers in her tail.
She hoped around and played
tug -o-war with the Shirley
worms, and gratefully accepted
the family's table scraps and
feed. Before summer
waned, a number of additional
white feathers had appeared,
and then the changing robin left
for warmer chimes.
All winter long. the Shireys
wondered whether they'd ever
see their pretty brOwn-and-
white friend again. Surely
someone seeking trophy
would shoot or snare the un-
usual bird. 1t seemed a
slim chance that out of mil
lions of robins, Miss Mount
Clemens Robin would remem-
Der the long sky trails back
to Shirey's.
Their anxious daily searchings
through the curtains brought
the big thrill this week Il.
when an ALL-WHITE robin
swooped down on the lawn and
voraciously gobbled the apple
chips waiting for her. A
few brown feathers around her
neck were all that remained OF
the familiar robin garb. In fact
she looked like a small white
pigeon.
The albino robin has be-
come quite a pet of the Shirley
family and their neighbOrs
and with nesting season
closely approaching, the stu
alton Is being observed with
keen interest.
Clarence, photograph fan
who has shot many fine pictures
of wild life in North Michigan,
is "oiling up" his camera in the
hope that he can eontrive a
closeup of the 50,00O-to-l curl
OSity of nature.

A QUARTER BARREL

a QUARIER sBARREL OF
beer was the bet between AL.
Oliver and Roland Charbeaneau
as TO who would snare the first
muskellunge after the season
opened April 10, and the word
OF this sporting wager spread
around the riverfront. The 9TH
er day, Al Gasow noticed an
eight-pound muskie Hopping
around in the water near his
dock and landed it with a net.
1t had been injured in the head
by a boat, but still put up a
good scrap before Al tunked it.
Mischievously, he conceived the
plan of telephoning Oliver and
inviting him to see the first
muskie' that CHARBENEAU
HAD CAUGHT, and then mott
flying Charbeneau to come down
and see the first one that OLIV-
Err HAD CAUGHT. Up to
last night, when the, double
dealing was exposed at a river
road rib-roast, each man thought
he had lost the wager and was
prepared to settle with the 9th
err, yet neither caught a muskie.
