WHAT rs BLOOnPOOT?
There can be no looks of
wonderment from the readers of
this column Call three of us)
when this writer says he car
ried on considerable research
and experimenting with Blood
root.
After reading a very touch
ing human interest story not too
long ago we decided to look into
the matter. Was it merely
fancy or were those really facts?
We are now prepared to report
to you that they were facts with
a very interesting and historic
background.
Many people will scan the
dictionary in an attempt to ac-
quaint themselves with Blood
root, but we might say at this
point that a dictionary could not
do justice to the greatness of
Bloodroot so a specially selected
staff Of learned men were dele
gated to bring forth the facts
and the volume that is the re-
suit of years of intense work is
now available at the better book
stores.
One chapter of this volume
deals with the plants effective
ness in combating epidemics. It
mentions the Bubonic Plague
that swept Europe, Cholera that
ravaged China, Yellow Fever
that hampered the work on the
Panama Canal and also the epi-
demic of Flu that claimed many
lives in this country some 80
years ago and goes on to say
that il was Bloodroot that
brought these all under con-
troll.
So you see kind readers Gall

grows In the lowlands of the
4th Ward has more value, both
monetary and incidentally than
the Stinkweed that grows in the
highlands of the 14th Ward.

Tentative plans are for be-
ginning bowling in September,

the team captains when they
meet. Entry fees will be the
same as last year with Sep
tember / deadline for paying

Toledo Pipe Threading, Auto

bowl in the All-Star League
and may also enter teams in the
Standard League if sufficient
interest is shown by members
of the Units.
Teams which have not yet
contacted the bowling director
are asked to either do so in the
next several days, or, if this is
impossible, to send their rep
resentative to the August %

Available alleys, prize money

HOW TO WASTE TIME

Pick up copy of your daily
paper and read the column by
Pegler. Then if you're not
satisfied read Fulton Lewis and
Louis Bromfield. If this doesn't
satisfy you take a nap, at least
that will do you some good.
If, on the other hand, you
want to make good use of your
spare time, grab a copy of the
TOLEDO UNION JOURNAL
and read TIE column written by
Dick Gosser, Eddie Duck, Mel
vim Schultz, Clayton Fountain,
Ollie Pecord and the editorials
and you will learn something
that is of benefit to you. Read
the straight-from-t shoulder
facts about labor and don't
waste your time.

FOUR YEARS AGO, HATS WAS IN our SHOES.

But this alone is not enough. The lives of brave
men are not enough. Money is needed too.
For this is the financial crisis of the war just as
surely as it is the military crisis Millions of dol
lars worth of equipment is being destroyed. The
money to replace it must come from us, quicxly.
If every last of here at home will try to
match the constant, day-to-day drive of the men
who fight our battles, we'll raise that money.
The way to do ii is to put every cent we can pos
sibIy invest into u. S. War Bonds. Not some of
us. All of us. Not once in while during drive,
but regularly
Can we do the job that Hans couldn't do? It's up

Utica Notes

The Utica Public Library re-
ceived a check today for S136.10
from the State Board for Librar-
les, according to Miss Naomi
Clubbing, librarian. This repre-
sents the final payment on
grant of S215.4 6 from the Gen.
eral Library Fund.
The Utica library receives
this bonus because the local tax
support is being maintained..-H
the local tax support drops, the
library would not be eligible
for this additional assistance.
The library board decides how
these grants are spent so the
projects are designed to fit the
library, Miss Clubbing explained.
Only capital expenditures are
prohibited.
This grant is part of the state
aid to public Libraries fund set
apart by the State Legislature
for the development Of Michigan
Libraries. The 1914 Special SEES
sion appropriated 100000 for
the 1944-45 fiscal year which
will help Libraries hold the line
under wartime conditions.
The following books have just
been received at the Utica libra
ry: Yankee from Olympus" by
Bowen-Story of Oliver Wendell
