ical departure in air transport
methods will be brought about
by the application of jet-propul-
sion. Advancement in technique
will undoubtedly inaugurate
new era in the use of the at
mosphere as a flotation medium.
Viewed abstractly, jet-propul-
sion bids fair to be one of the
outstanding developments to
come out of the war. If those
handling this development were
to revise their outlook on GER
tain natural phenomena, they
would find that jet-propulsion
readily lends itself to utilization
of radio-transmitted power.
At any rate, jet-propelled air
craft should prove to be one of
the safest and most desirable
means of travel known to man.
In fact, even in its earlier stages
of Development, it should prove
to be safer and more reliable
than the whirligig type of air.

given to the main and all auxil-
larry mechanical units of an air
plane while in flight for the first
time in aviation history.
Viewed prospectively, it may
be that jet-propelled airplanes
will be developed for passenger
and cargo transportation along
the same lines as trucks and
trailers have been developed for
highway service, and locomo-
tives and cars for railroad trans
portation. Cabins for the ac-

Two new city ordinances, at
fecting the showing of local
movies and barring children
from the streets late at night
time, passed the City Commits
sion for their first legal reading
last night.
II approved at the second
reading next Wednesday, the
ordinances will remain on the
table further 30 days, and are
scheduled TO take effect June /.
They will be published in the
regular City Commission min
uteS, and later special publica-
ton of their terms will be made
prior TO the time they take ef-
feet.
The theater ordinance for
bids attendance at shows of
children under the age of IL
years, after 1880 p. m, unless
accompanied by parents or an
unauthorized adult guardian.
Penalties are provided both for
parents who take their children
into the show and leave them
there after 1880, and for adults
who by purchasing children ;
tickets or some other means,
contrive TO aid children who
seek TO evade the law. The ordi-
nance also provides for censor
ship of improper films, under
guidance of the Hays Office and
Detroit police censorship codes.
The curfew ordinance would
keep children from the streets
after 10 o'clock at night, and
1890 p. m. Fridays and Satur-
days, il they are under the age
of IA years, unless accompanied

Hull to Discuss
Foreign Policy
i'm Sunday Talk

WASHINGTON, Apr. 6--(P)-
The State department announc-
ed today that Secretary Hull
will make 45-minute speech on
foreign policy Sunday.
The Adde'S is expected to be
an elaboration of the secretary's
recently summarized II points
of foreign policy with some spe-
cific examples of the way in
which that policy is working
out.
The speech will be broadcast
over the Columbia broadcasting

just as locomotives and cars in
railroad service. But hardly in
the identical manner, since self
contained passenger cabins and
freight carriers would require
to be suspended with the posi-
bility of several units arranged
side-by-side from the under por-
ton of the aerial-locomotive.
Such an arrangement estab-
fishes the need for two closely
related landing areas, one to act
as a landing field for the de-
tached aerial-locomotive and the
other as a marine basin or la

There is no reason why jet
propulsion could not be applied
to marine transportation. The
same mathematical principles
are involved whether the flota-
ton medium is air or water.
Without wishing to detract
from the British for their work
on jet-propelled motive power
for aircraft, it is only fair and
patriotic to recall that American
engineers and scientists have
contributed much to the know
ledge on this subject.
On the basis Of my own per-

Fleetwood Students Playing
4 Vital Role In War Effort

Fleetwood high school has been
active in many phases of war
work and has contributed much
to the war effort.
The school has been particular
ly active in the various wartime
drives. In both the United War
Fund and Red Cross Drives the
school made creditable showings.
In the Third and Fourth War
Loan Drives the schools quotas
were exceeded and enough bonds
and stamps were sold or bought
by the personnel of the school to
furnish the fighting forces two
famous jeeps, one flying jeep, one
amphibian jeep, ane triple-threat,
one life float (for seven persons),
and thirty-six bayonets.
Another contribution made by
Fleetwood school to the war eff
fort is shown by an honor roll
made by the school this year.
This contains the names of all
teachers and students, present
and former, of the school now
serving in the armed forces. It
contains a list of fifty names,
among which is Garland Grogan,
who went from the eleventh grade
this year; and at the head of the
list, like above, Ben Adhem's
leading all the rest, is the name
of the principal, Robert Davis.
All of the students showed in
terest in the drives to collect
scrap metal and waste paper.
The classes in courses related
to the war effort and physical fit
ness, proved popular and are sure
to be a help to those who enter
service to help defend liberty and
democracy.

Probe Fatal
Traffic Crash
George Wolf, 50,
Struck by Car

Investigation by the Prescott
or's office was underway today
concerning an automobile acct
dent in which George Wolf, So,
of $3.50 Hall road, Route J.,
Mount Clemens, was killed about
2 a. m. Sunday.
Wolf was struck by an auto
mobile driven east on Hall road,
by Walter H. Beck, Jr., of 345
Green street, New Baltimore,
one-third of a mile east from the
Romeo Plank road, in Macomb
township.
Beck, according to Sheriffs
office reports, stated that the
man was on his hands and knees
near the center of the road, and
that he did not see Wolf until he
was upon him. Beck also stated
that he did not know whether or
not he had hit the man, until he
turned his automobile around
to return to the scene of the ac-
cident.
The possibility that Wolf was
hit by two automobiles also en-
tered into the case, as glass
which may have been from the
headlights of two different cars
was found several feet from the
scene of the accident. There was
no blood found on the auto driv-
en- by Beck.
Whether or not two cars were
involved in the fatality will be
determined by Chief Assistant
Prosecutor Fred Van Fleteren
after he questions Sheriff's depu-
ties who investigated the acct
dent, and the single witness.
