Blossom Heath

Sugar IsIond Deal
Doesn't Alter Picture

ST. CLAIR SHORES-Recent
announcement that a Negro or
ganization is considering the
purchase of property near De-
troits Belle Isle for a social and
recreation center is no indication
that the matter of Negro
groups acquisition of Blossom
Heath has been dropped, village
officials indicated this week.
On the contrary, one pointed
out, the interests seeking the So
called Sugar Island site in De-
troit are entirely separate from
the Blossom Heath Corporation
which went to court to force
issuance of a club license by
the village.
The Blossom Heath group has
recently made legal approaches
to accelerate their case on the
docket in Macomb County Cir
cult Court.
The case was referred back to
Judge Alton II. Noe by the SUI
preme Court after counsel for
Blossom Heath Inc, appealed
Noes refusal to hear what he
termed a matter concerning the
villages domestic affairs. The
Supreme Court directed Noe to
ropen the case, and it is expect
ed to come up in the first terri!
Of 1945.
Village Attorney George a
Francis, who has represented
this community in the Blossom
Heath matter, said this week that
attorneys for the inter-racial
club have been pressing for an
early hearing on the case in
Noes court. They are asking the
village to appear and show cause
why a club permit should not be
issued.

Another Declaration OF
independence

To The Editor of The Republican:
On July 1, l776, the Continental
Congress, meeting in Philadelphia,
adopted the Declaration of Independ-
nee. 1t was an act which formally
eparated the thirteen colonies Of
america, from the tyranny Of a dull
md foolish king.
We are justly proud Of this historic
vent, but there is another tyrant
rom which the farmers OF this coun-
Y must declare their independence.
This tyrant is erosion. Tho | realize
hat the loss Of property in the recent
ornadO was tremendous, and indeed
eel a deep sense of sympathy for
hose affected, it is my honest con-
fiction that the total loss to all farms
n this county in the form of erosion,
was nearly as great as the financial
oss caused by tbs tornado Only
hose persons who have become ac-
IUainted with the devastating effects
If sheet erosion, who have tried to
cultivate corn and potatoes across the
EulIles, or attempted to regain fer
lie soil by blowing up boulders and
rock lodges, can fully realize the SER
iousness Of this problem.
This is problem of serious con-
Germ to the town folk as well as
country folk, in both cases their &c
onomic welfare is closely related to
the fertility of the soil.
We must not excuse ourselves as a
very good friend of mine did few
days ago by saying, "Well, when the
Lord sends us a gully-washer like
that there isn't much we can do about
it. Yes, most emphatically, some
thing can be done, and something
must be done to safeguard our
heritage, the SOIL from the ravages
of this tyrant. If this heritage is not
safeGuarded, our sons will say,
"Well, Dad there's the farm, but
where's the soil?"
When we, the people Of Garrett Co.,
organized u Soil Conservation District
last year long step was taken in the
right direction. The next step to take
is to make use of the help which is
to be had from this source.
Let's take some action soon. Let's
get control Of that rascal called,
"Eroaion," coop him up with proper
selection Of crops, contour strips, and
terraces, and declare oar independ-
ence from one Of the most deadly
enemies that can threaten the future
Of farming

For The Home Dressmaker


If you are making your own dress
os this summer, you might like to ask
Yourself the following questions:
IL. Are the trimmings or tailoring
touches right for the dress style?
Decide on decorative finishes and
have appearance Of dress in mind
before starting to sew. Whether to
use tailoring touches or trimmings
will depend on the style of dress and
the kind Of material. In general. such
finishes as double rows Of stitching
are best on plain styles and fabrics
where they will show to advantage
Select i trimming that is as sturdy
as the material It will look better
and will not fray or get sleazy before
the dress is worn out
,. Does dress lie smooth and flat with
no humpy seams or clumsy finishes ?
,. is dress constructed sturdily. so
it will not pull apart? Whatever the
style Of dress, to be outwardly smart
it must have a smooth look with
seams and hems scarcely showing on
th2 right side unless they are part
Of the decorative design. Flat finish
cs and sturdy construction must be
considered together y dress might
be finished so it is strong, yet bulky
and clumsy, or finished flat and not
hold together.
Important to flat, sturdy construct
ion is the way the seams are made.
On firm materials, seams can be
pressed open and raw edges overcast
or pinked Medium weight cottons
and rayons may have seams pressed
to one side and raw edges stitched
together about l/4-inch from seam
line. Most thin fabrics are better
with French seams--a seam inside a
sean.
Hens on washable dresses are us
TALLY satisfactory when turned under
at the top stitched, and then hemmed
to the dress.
Trimming off excess material is
another aid to flat finish Wherever
seams are hidden inside a facing or
collar they can be cut to lI4-inch
width. Cut off seam allowance at
collar and pocket corners 50 they'll
be sharp and smooth when turned to

Pupils Urged To Be
Ready For School
Health Officer Points Out 'Jaces-
sity of Smallpox Vaccination

"Pre-school children who are going
to school for the first time this Sep
TENDER should be made ready for their
new adventure as early in the sum
mer as possible" according to Dr.. R.
H. Riley, Director of the State De-
partment Of Health. parents who
have not already done so are urged to
take their youngsters to the family
physician or to the nearest clinic now
'Vaccination against smallpox it is
generally known, is required by law in
this State. All public schools in Mary
land require evidence of successful
vaccination before admitting child
and the majority Of private and paro-
chial schools have similar rules. The
State law charges parents and physi-
clans with the duty of seeing that
children are vaccinated during the
first year Of life and the matter is left
in their hands until school age. At that
time vaccination becomes absolutely
necessary, because the school law pro-
hibits the enrolment Of those not pro-
tected against smallpox. Any child
who has not been protected against
smallpox should have it done immedi-
ately to allow the scar time to heal
well before the school bell rings.
"Although not a legal requirement,
immunization against diphtheria is
strongly recommended, DR.. Riley adj
vises parents, "ToXoid is a good safe
guard against this disease which very
often causes serious illness and deaths
among children. Those who have never
received toxoid should certainly be
given the protection it affords. Chill
dren who were immutized as babies
should be given a supplementary dose
to strengthen immunity before they
go to school.
"A general physical check-up is also
advised. Such an examination will in
dictate whether or not the child is up
to par physically and is able to carry
the additional burdens imposed by
school life. If the check-up reveals
any remediable defect or handicap,
correction or treatment is in order It
is not fair to a child to let him enter
school with handicaps that can be
avoided"
