Navy Obtains Land
|After Million Outlay
On Improvements
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-The Navy
today obtained by court order 1922
acres Of land near Joliet, ILL.,, on
which it had spent $1,000, 900 in i'm
provements but could not reach q
purchase agreement with the owner.
Clarence w. Beatty, assistant
United States attorney who OBJ
tanned the order, said the property
had been abandoned for several
years and was dilapidated when
John w. Galbreath, Columbus,
Ohio, purchased it from the Amer
ican Steel and Wire Co. In April,
l943, for $4,000.
The Navy, Mr.. Beatty said, leased
1t from Mr.. Galbreath for $4,000
year on August 8, 1943, and under
the contract 1t eventually was to
revert to Mr.. Galbreath with all i'm
|provements.
The Navy spent $1,000, 900, Mr..
Beatty said, and planned to spend
another 81 SOC, 900 for additional i'm
provements. When the Navy de-
cided to purchase the property, Mr..
Beatty added, Mr.. Galbreath, presi-
dent Of the National Association of
Real Estate Boards, asked for
$450,00
Mr.. Beatty said the Navy con-
sidered this amount exorbitant since
1t was nearly nine times what Mr..
Galbreath paid for it a year earlier.
Mr.. Galbreath and the Navy were
unable to compose their differences
and Norman M. Lyttell, Assistant
Attorney General, who told of Mr..
Galbreath's stand before Senate
committee on disposal Of surplus
war property, called upon the JUS
tice Department for action.
Federal Judge Michael L. Igoe
entered an order of possession with
out deposit under the Second War
Powers Act to turn the property
over to the Navy.
The property is being used as a
naval center spare parts warehouse.
A court will adjudicate the COM
pensation for the property.

months-to do as they please before
returning to their civilian jobs.
"You want to look around for

New York War Ballot
Law Successful,
Dewey Declares
By the Associated Press.


ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. Ak
pressing hope that servicemen and
their families will remember it
was the Democratic party and its
satellites that made false and ir-
responsible charges against New
York's soldier voting law. Gov.
Thomas z. Dewey issued q report
tonight describing the system as
. tremendous success"
The report, released through the
Governors onice here during his
absence In Pawling, was submitted
to Gov. Dewey by Chairman Will
liam T. Simpson of the State War
Ballot Commission.
Estimating that $50 900 or Is per
cent Of New York's servicemen and
women Of voting age will receive q
full State ballot, Mr.. Simpson de-
clared that New York has already
established voting contact with
twice as many servicemen as the
national average"
Gov. Dewey commented:
"This proof that the system
adopted by New York State Is
working 80 well is the best possible
answer to those who sought to
sabotage its effectiveness by making
blind partisan attacks upon It,"
The system adopted by the Legis-
lature this year on Gov. Dewey's
recommendation has been criticized
as unavoidable by the Democratic
State Chairman, Paul Fitzpatrick
and the CIO Political Action Com
mittee.
Democrats and the PAC have
called for use of the short form
Federal war ballot instead. But
Gov. Dewey's legal advisers hold
the Federal ballot is unconstitu-
tional because it does not offer q
full State as we'll as Federal ticket.
According to an Associated
Press dispatch dated August a."
Simpson said, "a total of 2,000, 900
applications have been received Id
the whole country. New York's
share-20 per cent Of the Nations
totals ample proof of the success
OF the New York war ballot law"

CRANBERRY EXCELS IN
 NORTHLAND
By LYDIA FOHN- HANSEN Horne Demonstration Hcen*

Of all the Alaska berries inc loWbus cranberry is perhaps the most versatile and has most appetite appeal. Before the war tons of the berries were imported in the States from Sweden to be used in various juices and ice cream dressings. For shipment they were packed n kegs and covered wiht cold water.
 For home use it's hard 10 find more delicious sauce to serve with turkey, pork or other meat than the raw relish which can be made up in the fall and kept m crooks or jars in coolplace.
 Raw Relish
 To each quart of cranberries add one quart 2 cuosl sugar. 'Stir with q wooden lad1e until sugar is dissolved. Store in q crock o1 jar mixing it well whenever I part of the contents Is removed Keep in q cool dark place.

Directors Face
Tough Problems
in Senior Play

Mrs. Mniver" the Mount
Clemens High School senior class
play which is being presented
Dec. 10 and IA in the high
school auditorium. has never
been produced professionally on
the stage For that reason the di-
reCtors, Miss Mary Joan Purcell
and Marilyn Logsdon, who have
been unable TO see il in action,
have had a doubly hard task in
helping the players TO portray
their roles.
The effect Of war on the Min
iverS, a typical English family,
constitutes the plot of the play.
Included in its three acts are in
innate glimpses of family life,
the trials of an adolescent girl
with that typical older brother,
romance, and humor. There is a
grim side, too. This comes with
England's declaration Of war,
and the donning Of uniform for
the eldest son and the boy next
door.
The audience will soon think
Of themselves as members Of the
Miniver family. AS the play I'M
folds they will rejoice at the
boys getting leaves, laugh at the
tricks of the refugee children,
Shudder at the sound of the air
raid siren, and cry when death
makes its appearance.
The play is taken from the
book Mrs. Miniver", which is a
series Of essays by Jan Struther,
and has been adapted for the
stage by Christopher Sergel.
Early in 1912 Hollywood
chose Mrs. Miniver" as movie
and starred Greer Carson and
Walter Pidgeon. Some of the
essays from the book were used
and woven into a screen produc-
ton which was one of the great
est boX-office hits.
All of the incidents that were
in the movie are not used in the
play, however, since some 9TH
ers were more adaptable to stage
production.
