1T is extremely important that
full representation of all
branches of the industry dealing in
perishable fruits and vegetables
be in attendance" M. Musselman
pointed out, as it desired that
all branches be fairly represent
ed in this Committee.
1.-THE job this committee will
perform is of the utmost impor-
lance, for it appears that this year
it is going to be necessary to
move a greater amount of perish
able produce with a smaller num-
Der of trucks than last year. This,
of course, will require the maxi
mum of efficient utilization of the
truck facilities remaining avail
able.'' '- w.

ture Of his support for 4 fourth

1t is not surprising that con-
fidence is pretty high here, nor
that the betting odds favor the
fourth term. But, among some
Of the wiser Of the practical poll
ticians there is IN undercurrent of
apprehension. These recognize the
danger of holding on to high ONCE
too long. They know that resent
ments rapidly accumulate each
year and that point can be reach
ed at which the people become
just fed up" They concede the
possibility that that point may be
reached concerning the Roosevelts
in November.
A good many by-elections and
the general Republican trend Of
the last two years give some ground
for thinking so. 1t is the sort OF
thing that can't be told until the
votes are counted, but 1t is the real
Roosevelt danger. 1t easily could
wipe out all his assets.

To Whom 1t May Concern.
Today I received copies of the
Wyandotte News Herald. To say /
appreciated it is putting it mildly.
They were just like a long letter
from home. Thanks q million.
Originally I am not a Wyandotte
boy, but in the three years that I
lived there, I learned to like the
city and its people Some day soon
hope to be back. At the time 1
enlisted was living on Seventeenth
street and working at Nash-Kelvi-
nator in Detroit. Soon, also, I hope
to be punching the time clock
again.
I married a Wyandotte girl and
our daughter was born at the Wy
andotte General hospital. I also
played football for the Orioles. So
you see you didn't send the papers
to a complete stranger. Again
thanks, and I'm sure everyone from
the Down River section says the
same.
Right now I'm in a hospital lis
tening to the Forts" going over and
I'm darned glad, I can say, that
my home is in Michigan and not
Berlin.
