Adventure EIudes
Three Truant BOYS
INLAY City Boys
Encounter Police

ROME - frankie couldn't
keep pace with the two other
members of runaway trio
walking from Inlay City to De-
troit, and that accounted for the
tired little fellows presence at
State Police headquarters in
Romeo Thursday evening.
frankie explained he was
only nine years old, and that by
the time he had trudged most
of the II miles to Romeo, he had
slowed up so much that two
other boys with him, ages nine
and Ia years, "ditched" him.
The trio were Children's Aid
Society boys who had been plac-
ed on an Inlay City farm, police
said.
After an appetizing hamburg
some ice cream enjoyed at the
State Police office, frankie was
returned last night to his farm
home, a sadder and a wiser boy.
This morning, Detroit police
reported they had located the
other two boys walking YEARLY
er sandwich, bottle of pop and
into that city, and they too were
to be brought back to Inlay City
today.

Plans Discussed
Six Main Issues
Confront Industry

DETROIT, July 7 - (P -
The first industry-wide program
for reconversion of the auto
mobile industry to civilian pro-
duction is expected to evolve
from a meeting Of Michigan
manufacturers with the War
Production Board in Washing
ton next Friday, regional WPB
spokesman said today
The manufacturers, members
of the Automotive Industry Ad-
visory Council, will not be able
to set even tentative date for
the start of reconversion, the
spokesman said, but will con-
slider six main issues:
/. Problems related TO the
manufacture of pilot and expert
mental models.
2. Problems relating to the
procurement of new tools and
dies.
.~ 3. Manner of converting Gov
ernment-owned equipment ad-
aptable to peacetime uses.
4. Contract termination, and
the problem of removing from
war plants machinery not suit
able for civilian production.
5. Minimum rate of produc-
ton that would justify new
start on peacetime operations.
6. Advance ordering of raw
materials and parts to avoid last
minute confusion.

Utica ponders
Street Changes
Ask Enforcement of
Minor Curfew Low

UTICA - In the absence of
Mayor M. j. Rettmiller Wednes-
day night, the meeting of the
Utica City Council was presided
over by the president Frank
Ghapoton.
After disposal of the bills,
various matters we're discussed.
Don Warren of the Detroit Edi-
son Company presented the pro-
posal regarding the changing of
street names in the City of
Utica to conform with a plan
which is being worked out by
them. The plan would eliminate
any duplicate street names in
Macomb county. The city in
which the, change would be
made would be the one in which
the least number of people
would be affected. So many
Implications have become very
confusing where deliveries, or
billing by companies such as
telephone, gas. water, etc.
Utica street changes suggested
are Main to Pontiac or Auburn;
jefferson to Greeley; Cass to
Shelby. Clinton. North, James
and Union were mentioned with
no suggested names. The matter
was tabled until the next meet
ing when Mayor Rettmiller will
be present.
A petition presented by Arth-
ur Baumann, pastor at the Utica
Evangelistic Center. asking per-
mission to erect tent in the
city for gospel meetings, was
referred to a committee and also
tabled until August.
A motion was passed to auth
orize the Utica police depart
ment to inform Manager Spang-
lie of the Capitol Theater not to
sell tickets after seven o'clock
to unaccompanied minors up to
16 years of age. This conforms
with the city curfew law.
Police Officer Henry Heck's
request for a $50 raise was
tabled.
The following were named to
the election board for the July
IL Primaries: Henry F. Gage.
Pearl Foster, Helen Kraft. John
Andrus, Harvey Webb, john
Havel, Dora Hahn, Fred Rick,
Doris Conner. Alternates: Mrs.

COUNTY AGENT

The Mississippi Livestock Association.
an organization representing the over
all interests of all breeds and classes Of
livestock produced in the state recently
endorsed a number of movements calcu-
lated to improve the livestock industry.
The Association recommended that
livestock growers and livestock buyers
cooperate more closely with the support
in a financial way the educational pro-
grams of the National Livestock and
Meat Board.
The group recommended the expan-
sion of the farm flock phase Of the
sheep industry in the early grass areas
Of the state including the brown loan,
the oraire belt and the delta section OF
the state. The Association pointed out
that there is probably no livestock en-
terprise that will pay higher dividends
on a given investment in capital, labor
and land than will sheep if given a
reasonable degree of supervision and
management. The Association recon-
mended a study of legislation pointing
to the sue of money derived from the
collection of taxes on dogs for paying
indemnities to sheep owners for sheep
losses through the ravages of dogs.
The association went on record as
favoring the development Of definite re-
search on the use of forage resources
in the forest lands Of the state.
The Association endorsed the AAA
practice and asked for a continuation of
payment on all planted grain with a
Iegume crop to be used for grazing as
one Of the most valuable programs the
AAA has yet put into practice in the
interest of livestock production.
The Association favored the adjust
ment Of livestock numbers to grass and
feed supplies and the orderly marketing
of surplus livestock. The Association
urged that greater stress be placed on
the adjustment of animal units" to
"feed units" on individual farms, calling
attention to the fact that heaviest losses
suffered by livestock producers have
been caused by over-stocking beyond the
