PLANS UNCERTAIN
Disheartened at the loss OF
their battle, but still firm in a re-
solve to win eventual victory in
some manner as yet obscure,
supporters of the transportation
plea last night agreed among
themselves TO suspend the pick
citing plan temporarily, at
leasD, but TO keep their children
from school in all but pleasant
weather.
Today there was a large drop
in school attendance.
Picketing of the school by a
chanting force of 25 small chill
dren for a whole day recently
was designed TO enforce demands
for a bus, Manor Heath resi-
dents contended.
After listening at last nights
public meeting 10 point blank
criticism of forcing children of
tender years to adopt an UNI
American Habit" several par
ents admitted after the meeting
that the picketing psychology
had apparently backfired. In
stead of sympathy from the
No side it brought mo" votes.
PARENTS DESPERATE
Il agree that piCketing might
have been the wrong policy"
one mother said after last nights
meeting.
But we were desperate. 1t
was a last resort. They'd voted US
down repeatedly and we can no
longer expose our children to the
dangers of public highways and
the health risk Of walking seven
miles a day in mud, rain and
snow"
And on this subject, the COM
ment of DR.. Eugene B. Elliott,
State Commissioner of Public
Instruction was read before the
voting last night. DR.. Elliott
wrote to the school board:
Certainly, three miles is too
far for a little child to walk to
school one way
Also read before the voting
was DR.. Elliotts offer TO give
state aid TO the district if they
voted to discontinue tn i r
Eighth Grade and transport the
children TO another district
Mount Clemens or Fraser).
Elliott's offer of S679 state aid
for the balance Of this year, and
estimates of $500 bus cost and
ST. 45 upkeep cost, for the rest
of 1914 were read.
Also read to the waiting voters
was Elliott's estimate for the
second year of operation: State
Aid, $3.50; cost and depreciation,
81 ,297: differential, 1897.
CAUSTIC COMMENTS
Preliminaries before the vot-
ing also included open discussion
by voters, most of them the NO"
side, whose comments, bitterly
expressed centered on.
The "disgraceful' picketing;
possibility Of building an
additional school near Manor
Heath subdivision; the RELIABLE
ity of a bus costing only $500;
the lack of manpower to provide
bus drivers; the wages of bus
drivers; the dangers of highway
travel and railroad grade cross
ings for school buSses, etc, etc.
The meeting was conducted by
school board members Carl
Swanson, George Kelly and Jack
Moran. County School Commits
Sioner Will l.. Lee was present
in a spectator capacity, and also
Wesley Beadle, an official Of Dr..
Elliott's office.

ACRICULTURE:
Boost Ceilings

In move designed to reflect par
ity to producers, the OPA hiked cell
ings on cash wheat cents, and at
the same time raised the top on all
hogs except sows, stays and boars
to $14.75.
In announcing the ceiling boost on
wheat, OPA revealed that the in
crease affects all levels of distribu-
ton, but could not disturb the cost
of bread. The present subsidy of 10
cents bushel to flour producers
will stick until the first of the year,
OPA said, when new rates will be
established.
With official admission that the
boost in the hog ceiling to $14.75
was effected to increase feeding of
corn, the market for that grain
spurted, although heavy country Of
ferings tempered activity. At Chi
cago, hog prices were especially
strong, partly because inclement
weather kept large supplies on
farms.

PACIFIC:
Fear B-29s

Aimed at knocking out the great
industrial centers of the Japanese
homeland, supplying enemy forces
on far-flung Asiatic fronts, super
fortress air raids were stepped up,
with one force of over 100 B-29s set
ting fire to the Mitsibushi twin
engine bomber and fighter plant at
Nagoya below Tokyo.
AS result of the growing BIG
attacks, Japanese officials, who once
described the assaults as attempts
to lower enemy morale, took more
serious attitude toward the bomb
ings, claiming that their steady ex-
tension presaged wide damage, ne
cessitating the evacuation of civil
ians from danger areas.
AS the giant superfortresses
winged their way over the heart OF
Japan's loosely knit Asiatic empire,
U. S. forces in the Philippines
moved steadily ahead in reducing
that great stronghold protecting the
enemy's supply lines to the Indies.
On Leyte, the Japs were faced with
slow strangulation as General Mac
Arthur's forces continued to COM
press them in the northwestern cor
ner of the island, with their lines
under attack from the north, east
and south.

EUROPE:
Maxi Hopes

Fighting now with it's back to the
wall, desperate Germany is draw
ing up it's dwindling strength for
one great counter-blow next year in
the hope of yet winning the war,
according to advices from London.
The reports came through even
as the enemy struggled to retard
u. S. armies steady advances on
the Ruhr, Rhineland and Saar, and
the Russian march on the Austrian
gateway.
In Hungary, the Nazis retreated
to mountainous terrain both in the
north and south, in an effort to slow
up the Russians steady advance
upon Austria, 100 miles distant.
In reputedly preparing for coun-
ter-offensive, the badly mauled but
fanatical enemy apparently was
placing his hopes in a still strong
army, whose forces have been care
fully husbanded; in new weapons,
and in short supply lines.
With 1900, 900 Germans in the field
in both the east and west, the
Nazis have been fighting defen-
sive war from strongly fortified posi-
tions in recent months in the hope
Of inflicting maximum losses on the
Allies and keeping their own casual
ties to minimum. Because of the
employment of many foreign work.

been able to draw heavily on their

WORK ORDER:
Netv Draft Rule

With 100000 workers needed for
critical war industries, the nations
draft boards checked through their
files to offer those m the 26 to 81
age group not presently engaged in
essential production the alternative
Of working or fighting."
Reversing a previous Selective
Service policy of granting liberal de-
ferments for the group over 80, To-
cal boards are expected to adopt o
more stringent attitude toward con-
sidering the essentially of a regis
trant's employment, it was thought.
Registrars who left deferable posi-
tions for less important work will
face a return to their old or similar
position or induction.
While the latest breakdown prin-
cipally was prompted by the move
to provide manpower for essential
industry, Selective Service Director
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey de-
clared that increased military activ-
ity called for greater amount of
replacements, with the result that
10 to 20 per cent increase in induc-
tions could be expected in the next
few months.
Output Lags
Although production Of critical
war material rose per cent in Oc-
tober over the previous month,
greater increase for the remainder
of the year is necessary to assure
required deliveries to the services,
the War Production board reported.
In reviewing October production,
the WPB said the following pro-
grams were below schedule: air.
craft, per cent; ships, per cent;
guns and fire control, per cent; am
munition, per cent; combat and
motor vehicles, per cent; commu-
nications, 6 per cent; and other
equipment and supplies, l per cent.
Particularly critical, it was report
ed, are the tire and cotton duck pro-
duction programs, what with SOC, 900
vehicles in operation on the western
front alone, and the Nazi destruc-
ton Of shelter in the bitter scorched
earth fighting necessitating much
tenting.

They have limited at the produc-
ton of two other destructive
weapons, but the only other one that
Allied authorities have knowledge
of is submarine with new devices
for underwater breathing, which
they intend to unleash against ship
ping.
Finally, the enemy hopes that his
short supply lines in contrast to our
longer ones will enable him to feed
his armies with much greater ra-
pidity, but here concerted Allied
bombings can be expected to play
havoc with his land routes.
Whatever the German plans, Al
lied armies were giving the enemy
no chance to dream, as they main
tanned their terrific pressure both in
the west and east.
Ne.U Political Crisis
To the complicated European po-
litical scene was added another
disturbing incident in the Russian
sponsored Polish National coun-
cil's announcement that the new year
would see the formation of a pro-
visional Polish government indie
pendent of the U. S. British
backed Polish exile regime in Lon
don.
Declaring that it would be the new
provisional government concern to
break up large estates for the dis
tribution of land to 10000 prop
ertyless tenants, National Council
spokesman assailed the present ex-
lied regime as being representative
of the powerful nobility bucking So
Wet influence in Poland because of
a fear of reform in ownership.
In Greece, the British moved to
patch up differences between radical
and rightist elements and restore
order in that country fronting Bri-
tain's Mediterranean lifeline.

AS long as manpower shortages
will persist and wartime conditions
will make extension of facilities diff
ficult, manufacturers will not be
able to increase their already rec
ord production of cigarettes, the
trade told congressional commit
tee.
Meanwhile, tobacco distributors
announced plans for the adoption of
nationwide rationing of supplies
among retailers to assure equitable
stocks for all smokers, with efforts
made to readjust deliveries to shift
ing populations.
Speaking at the congressional
hearing, Col. Fred c. Foy said that
the army will have procured 68,000,-
100000 cigarettes by the end of 1914,
but movements of the smokes to the
front line areas were impeded by
limited facilities for unloading and
the need for rushing more vital ma
terials like food and gasoline to the
combat zones.

WATERWAYS:

Large-scale development of U. S.
waterway resources was authorized
by congress in a 81 900, 100000 flood
control bill, while conferees from
both houses met to iron out differ
ences for approval of expenditures
of an additional $5OO.00O, 1000 in prof.
ects.
Part of the country's job
creating program when peace
comes, the two bills provide for
flood control, navigation, rec

power, with the $1,000, 200, 1000
measure calling for an initial
appropriation of $4O0, 200, 900 for
the development of the Missouri
river valley by army engineers
and the bureau of reclamation.

VIA Program

With demands of the services and

approximately 26,500,000 cases,
there will be little surplus of eggs
in 1915, Lieut.. Col r. w. Olmstead,
deputy director of supply for the
War Food administration, told a
trade meeting in Chicago.
Colonel Olmstead spoke after the
VIA announced that beginning JAM
uary l it would support prices at
q cents dozen for producers of
candled eggs and "a cents a dozen
for current receipts to represent 90
per cent of parity as required by
law.
About 25,OOO,000 cases will be
needed for the processing of 1865, ,000,-
900 pounds of dried eggs for the
services, Russia, Britain, Belgium,
Holland and France, Colonel Ohm
stead said, and, in addition, Britain
is expected to take approximately
100000 cases of shell eggs. What
surplus remains may be disposed
of through school lunch programs,
institutions or for tankage.
In revealing that VIA has re-
duced its 1914 holdings to 100000
cases of shell eggs, Colonel Ohm
stead said that no stocks would be
dumped on the market in 1945, with
prices tending to reflect production
costs which are expected to remain
high through the year.
