offices of the Liquor Control
Commission we're located.
CASUAL CONVERSATION
The officer, it develops, sup
piled the information but asked
the visitor what business he had
with the commission.
The farmer informed the po-
liceman-and the tavern keeper
overheard the conversation
that an elderly woman neighbor
had % cases of liquor that she
wanted TO turn in TO the authori-
ties. He said her son had him.
self operated bar prior TO being
indicted into the army and had
stored his liquor stock with his
mother pending his return TO
business. The soldier. however,
vas killed in action overseac
he related, and the mother VINO
lived on a farm near his own,
now wanted to dispose of the
Whiskey.
Ba una n, apparently, was
shocked TO think of so much
good cheer being subjected to
rationing restrictions. He point
ed out that he could save the
woman a trip to the Liquor Com
mission warehouse by taking
the liquor off her hands himself.
FARMER DOUBTFUL
The farmer, however, express
ed grave doubts that his ncigA-
Dor would consider selling the
WhiSkey to a private individual.
After much discussion, though,
il was agreed that the helpful
overall-clad man would talk 10
his friend and, if she proved
interested, would telephone Bau-
man later in the day.
Some two hours later, accord
ing TO Bauman's story TO Ma
comb officers, he received a
telephone call from the farmer.
He said that while the aged farm
woman was not yet thoroughly
convinced that she should sell
Bauman the Whiskey he felt that
if the tavern keeper were TO
meet him at Fraser, with enough
money to pay for it at the
rate of SIS per case, she
might be influenced by the sight
Of so much money.
MEET IN FRASER
Shortly after dark, the report
reveals, Bauman met the farmer
in Fraser. The man said he had
been unable TO bring the Whls-
key with him but that he felt
confident he could still arrange
the deal. He said his principal
was highly nervous, and might
become frightened If a stranger
entered into the negotiations,
but that if Bauman would give
him the money, and let him take
his car TO transport the Whlskcy
in, he felt sure he could put the
proposition over.
Bauman, scenting a bonanza
of ration-free stock for h!j buSl-
ness, turned over the $3.50 and
rode with the farmer to a point
on Schoenherr road, between the
IA and IS Mile roads, where he
disembarked and stood hopefully
at the roadside as the good
hearted stranger drove off with
his car and his cash.
GONE WITH THE WIND
The car was found abandoned
near the Maple Lane golf club
two days later. Neither the
farmer nor the cash have been
seen since.
Bauman today, however, iden-
titled a rogue's gallery picture
of the man he said fleeced HIM.
II was that of Kenneth Ellcher,
36-year-old con-game artist who,
Kaltenbach said, has a record
stretching across half-do
mid western states.

MOTORISTS NABBED

Mel La Liberte of the OPA
said of the hundreds of auto
mobiles" checked since the in
vestigation began Sunday quite
few" of the drivers have been
ordered TO appear before a spe-
cial Board at st. IgnaCc or take
a three-day delay and appear
before their home ratIOning
boards. Most of the hunters cit
ed have taken the latter course,
he added.
OPA agents have expressed
1.-THE opinion that the only way
for any Southern Michigan
hunter TO reach the Upper Pc
ninsula deer country without
violating rationinG regulations
would have been for him TO fill
his tank at the end Of the last
rationing period and use all Of
his A coupons for this period.
Although nearly twice as
many automobiles were trans
ported across the Straits in
three days this year as in COM
parable period in 1943, traffic
slackened considerably since
yesterday morning. Two ferries,
the city of Munising and the
city of Cheboygan, continued to
handle all cars waiting at the
docks throughout the night, but
with an early rush the total had
reached more than 1000 vehic-
les by today.

FILLER AT CORDOvA KILLED

CORDOYA, Alaska - Robert L. VanBrocklin, private flier for two years and respected businessman and councilman, was killed Satur- day afternoon when the motor of his Aeronca Lycoming plane eonked out as he was trying to make it to the municipal field.
 NanBroeklin put his plane into a sharp bank but lack of power al lowed the plane to sideslip into Ekay lake, 50 feet off shore.
 Employees of the Cordova Air Service got a rope on the tailskid and pulled the plane to the bank in five minutes, where the cockpit was in eight feet of water.
 Elmer Hedstrom and Perry Davis dove and pulled Van Brocklin from the plane, and doctors and many willing hands tried for three hours on artificial respiration, but with no results.
 VanBrocklin had been in the water about 15 minutes and doctors believe he died from shock and pos sible internal injuries
 William Miller, a passenger in the rear seat of the two-seater plane, managed to extricate himself and was taken to the hospital with cuts but otherwise unhurt.

 After some discussion and figur- ing it was decided to hold our An nual Milk Fund and Charity Ball on Saturday night September 9. The committee, under the leadership of Esteemed Leading Knight Chester Steears, promises big things for that night so remember the date, September g.
 The trustees had quite a time when they started to figure up the bills for the picnic. When tOtaled it was quite a sum. They wrinkled their brows, made a few remarks then okeyed the bills and ordered them paid. They said, Well, it must have been worth it as every one had such a good time" and said they would be there next year.
 Oh yes, Brothers, we still have some work to do in the Club rooms. Bro. Eastaugh has done most of the work so far but needs some help to finish the job. so if you are not busy Monday night, let's see you about 7:30 pm.

MOON DOES THINGS
 TO MAPLE TREES, TOO
By Howard ". BIakeslee

6E EAUWhAA " o4uhG0AGE
 NEW HAVEN, Conn. - AL each full moon a sharp electrical change occurs in the maple trees around New Haven.
 The electrical potential between the trees bark and the eambium-- the layer between bark and wood rises by three to four hundred per cent. The rise is from 25 or 30 mil lionths of a volt to about 10o.
 This discovery is reported by Dr. Harold s. Burr, professor of ana tony at Yale University. He was not looking for moon effects, which usually are considered by scientists to be "old wives tales"
 For years professor Burr has been studying the minute electrical po- tentiaI changes occurring in living tissues, plant and animal, and the tree studies were part of this work.
 When it became certain that there were rhythmic electrical changes in the bark, pr. Burr tried to correlate them with temperature, barometric pressure, relative humid ity and weather changes. None of these fitted the rhythm. But phases of the moon coincided closely.
 The full moon sign is very marked. But apparently there are further bark changes related to ether phases of the moon. Dr. Burr points out that instead of the moon, the changes may be related to cos mic rays. radio storms or other as yet unknown or unstudied factors.
