LIEUT.. WILSON SAVAGE,
of ST. Clair Shores, husband of
Kay Savage, one of our editor
ial colleagues, has been splash
ing around the seven seas for a
year or two as one Of the un-
sung heroes of the Maritime
Service. There's been a bit of
torpedoeing here and there, and
swimmin' for it, but the most
annoying thing to Wilson is that
Grand Rapids draft board which
finally contacted him in Eng
land and told them he ought to
serve his country. On the next
trip home, Wilson explained the
situation, and the board told him
to keep on lodging torpedoes,
etc. So last trip, when he stop
ped at Gibraltar, another draft
notice was awaiting him CATER
another ocean swim, we under

sent a sarcastic cablegram to
Grand Rapids, saying Lieut.. Will
son Savage "is far too busy win

cording TO George Romney,
managing director OF the coun-
Gil. Romney expects the serv-
ice to expedite the transition TO

The tooling information serv-

TO the war effort. Through the
voluntary cooperation Of tool
and die shops, production bot
tlenecks have been broken in
record time. The same program
will be applied in tackling re-
conversion. Romney said.
The service, by compiling
weekly information on avilable
tooling capacity, has made il
possible TO put buyers in touch
with shops. The shops in turn
have helped neighboring con-
