parts weighing more than 100

Amplex Division.
Developments now being

Parts made from powdered

Langhammer said, and are now
used in practically every piece
of war equipment built for its
Army and Navy.
The Amplex chief said his
division now is producing more
than 100000 units daily Of parts
for war equipment from pow
dered metal, and that technique
has advanced so fast since Pear
Harbor that where formerly
three-pound pressed pieces were
considered maximum, AmpleA
now presses units weighing
more than 100 pounds.

WeoIthy Shores
Resident Succumbs

ST. CLAIR SHORES - Dan
lei N. Davis, who started life as
a cookee in Michigan lumber
camp at the age of Is and liter
ally hewed his way 10 point
in life where he was generally
believed 10 have amaSSed a for
tune of more than a million dol
lars, died Thursday at Clear
water, Fla, at the age Of 80.
Mr.. Davis (who was famil-
iarly known as Dynamite Dan"
to thousands of Macomb county
and Detroit residents) had made
his home in ST. Clair Shores for
the past p years.
Possessed of an amazing en-
ergy and a determination that
recognized no barrier as insur-
mountable, Mr.. Davis left his
boyhood home in New Hamp-
shire at the age of ID and, pro-
gressviely passed through the
status of woods camp boss, high
way contractor, insurance agent,
Detroit and ST. Clair Shores
real estate Sub-divider and mu-
nicipal official before he went
into virtual retirement several
years ago Throughout IS years
of his life an association with
the late Gilbert w. Moreau,
with whom he became acquaint-
ed in lumber camp, continued
undimmed with the men con-
Quoting their respective business
enterprises in profound har-
mony. Mr.. Moreau died last year.
LONG ILLNESS
Mr.. Davis had been in i'll
health for many months prior
to his death at his Florida home
and had spent a great deal of his
time in the South during recent
years.
Credited. with having devel-
oped and sold enormous acreage
in Detroit's jefferson avenue
WaterWorks park area, the de-
ceased promoter is understood
to have built the foundation of
his fortune prior to arriving on
the Macomb county scene.
Promptly upon his entry into
Lake township est, Clair Shores
as village then did not exist
Davis purchased and sHb-
divided two large farms which
soothing neighbors referred to as
Davis Folly"
The eventual sale of those
properties. however, are believ-
ed 10 have raised the indefa-
tigable Davis to the status of a
millionaire.
For several terms he served
as president of the then newly
incorporated Village government
and was always a stalwart adj
vocate of Republican party
politics.
His career built about Mr..
Davis an almost mystical aura of
color and daring business enter
prise which won him the respect
of countless business people and
Of the public at large.
FUNERAL MONDAY
He had been long an active
32nd degree Mason and a
Knights Templar.
Surviving are his daughters,
Mrs. Belle Briggs, Of Lawrence,
Kansas, and Nina Davis; and

1t would seem the sergeant fella was going
in the opposite direction, originally, but he
swung into step with Judy. He was tall,
baby-faced boy, with gunner's wings and

several ribbons sprinkled with combat stars.
What are you 50 sore about?" he inquired
WAS your CO. romping on you for some

he told judy that he wasn't!

nRIvArE JUDY GRIFFIN was never so en-
il banassed in all her born days. The idea
that girl old enough to join the Air Wacs
and to take what you have to in basic train
ing, the very idea that such girl needs warn
ing as to her behavior where men are con-
cerned = why it simply took her breath
away.
Yet here was Lieut.. Willis, commanding
officer of the gunnery school Wac Detach-
ment, actually trying to treat Judy like help
less, ignorant little dope.
Il do hope you'll take this word of advice
in the right spirit, Lieut.. Willis was saying
But you're just twenty, believe, and this is
your first assignment to post?"
'Y-yes'm, that's right Lieutenant"
We'll, you'll be thrown into contact, more
or less, with the men here. The vast majority
are decent, wholesome American boys. But
there're few wolves in every outfit.
.Yes'm. But = uh = I'll use some COM
mon sense"
Good. / hope so. Who's your squad

Corporal Dorsett."
That's fine. She knows the CTS here If
you have any doubt - in - er - any situa-
ton that may arise, just consult Corporal

Corporal Dorsett can't handle. want you to
feel free to come straight to me"
'Yes'm Thank you, but I'm sure can take
care of myself"
Let's hope 50. Good luck!''
JUDY saluted and marched from Lieut.
Willis's office simply raging. For anyone to
insinuate that girl of good family training
would not be careful whom she associated
with, of the male sex = why that was just
little too much Especially coming from high
brow spinster like Lieut.. Willis, who'd gradu-
ated from girls college and was librarian
before she joined the Air Wac. A girl might
say, Look who's talking" = only you can't
do that with commissioned officer.
Judy was simply so mortified and angry
and upset that she bumped into this sergeant
fella on the path outside Wac headquarters
'Oh = excuse me!' she said.

I'm addition to- these" he ex-
