After considerable thought and
preliminary investigation, wish to
propose the gift of a domestic by
the city Of Wyandotte to any return
ing veteran Of the present war who
makes application for a building
permit for the construction Of new
home" Rouse wrote.
In explaining his proposal fur
ther, the councilman said that
Michigan Of all states Is peculiarly
situated with the State Land Board
Act which makes this a feasible
proposition.
Under the act any city may with
hold any or all properties within its
corporate limits and as the act is
now written, must bod this prop
erty for a period o. ten years.
However. Rouse Stated that he
believed it would BE entirely pos
Sible to have this 4 act amended or
land board ruling made to allow
the city to USE the land for the
proposed home sites.
Preliminary investigation. Rouse
revealed, showed that the city has
already withheld land in individual
lots ard piee 5 : ecreage, that if
need be, could be cut up into sever
hundred 40 or Us foot building SITES
At present there is also available
from the State Land Board lands
that the city could take over and di-
vide into more the Il 1000 such home
sites. Several Of these locations are
what now would be termed undesir-
able from the fact that they had
lacked restrictions and improve
ments necessary to make them good
properties. This situation, Rouse
stated, could be corrected by the
establishment Of reasonable reStric-
tons and the replatting of these
lands into ample sized home sites.
Wyandotte has some $500 men in
the service. Many of them, the coun-
Gilman said, would not be building
homes an many Of them already
have homes or the sites. He felt that
800 to 1000 such sites would more
than amply take care OF those who
would desire to build.
He explained that acquiring these
lands from the state would cost the
city nothing and that they are not
now tax-producing. They would be
tax-producing when given to the
veteran with a building permit. In
conjunction with the provisions OF
the G. I. Bill of Rights, the owning
Of lot would increase the veter-
ans collateral position materially
and strengthen his ability to finance
himself for home.
In urging that the plan be
adopted, Rouse said, ct has always
been my profound conviction that
home ownership does more to make
and establish good citizenship than
any other single thing In a family's
life. / feel that we would not only
be doing grand thing for the vet
eran, but that the city as a whole
would materially profit in better
use Of the land, good citizenship,
taxation and better CITY,"
A committee will be appointed in
the near future by Mayor Louis w.
Benin to study the proposition

In one of the most lavish set- tings given 6 motion picture in re- cent years, Warner Brothers have gone all-out in its production of '"The Desert Song" which began its engagement at Warmers State theater yesterday.
 The highly musical, highly enter tainlng film stars, Dennis Morgan and Irene Manning, with support ing cast of such favoriteS as Bruce Cabot, Lynne Overman and Gene Lockhart. Filmed in gorgeous technicolor, the picture has suc- cessfully recreated the wild beauty and indescribable lovelineSs of Northern Africa, which is supposed to be the setting of the story.
 Dennis Morgan portrays a dual role in the film. AS Paul Hudson, he is cast as an itinerant Ameri- can musician, stranded in French Morocco. This is the character he portrays to hide his identity as that of Fl Khobar = longtime friends of the Riffs, who spends the major part of his time aid- ing their cause in lightning like raids to free them from en- slavement by the Germans.
 Running throughout the story are exquisite renditions of the beau- tiful Sigmund Romberg music, all of which has been included in this successful present-day version. The much-loved and familiar numbers such as "One Alone" '@The Desert Song," the stirring Riff Song," and others are greatly enhanced as sung by the youthful and singing team of Morgan and Manning. The two stars, who began their careers as singers, prove beyond doubt that their sojourn as straight dramatic stars did nothing to dim the beauty of their voices.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents Murder on the waterfront" with Warren Douglas and Joan Winfield.
 Seats are selling rapidly for the gala War Bond Premiere to be held at the State on Monday evening next with Capt. Glenn Miller and the Army Aid Force Band of the Training Command at Yale Uni versity appearing on the stage in person for their appearance in Wa terbury. A score of celebrated ar lists will accompany Captain Mill Ter and gala New England pre- miere of the film, His Buffers Sis- ter" with Deanna Durbin, Franchot Tone and Pat O'Brien will round out the program. Admission is by the purchase of war bonds only and bonds must be purchased at either the Victory House or any local the ater.

FILM WEDDING | HAS PROBLEMS
Linda DarnelI and Dick Powell Prove Point in
 It Happened Tomorrow

A movie wedding has as many heart throbs and problems as any marriage in real life. Take the wedding of Linda Rarnell and Dick Powell in Rene Clair's "1t Hap pened Tomorrow"
 In the 1890 parlour of Justice of the Peace, bride and groom wait ed expectantly for the ceremony to begin.
 Dick Powell looked sad and Jus tice of the Peace Robert Dudley was nervouSly repeating his lines. Dick, a one-timer in private life. has never gone through marriage ceremony in any of his two-score pictures and has only played the role of married man in two pie lures, Model Wife" and T Want a Divorce" both with his own wife, Joan Blondell.
 In forty years of stage and screen, Dudley has performed only one other marriage. now long forgot ten.
 Experienced Linda has married Henry Fonda and John Shepherd once each and Tyrone Power twice while cameras rolled. Since these marriages occurred before her own marriage to Pev Marley, this scene presented problem directors had not encountered in her previous screen weddings. Linda refused to remove her own wedding ring. It was covered by piece of adhesive tape.
 The Bible to be used was not only experienced at the art of marrying but had, according to owner Prop Man Ken Walton, married 49 movie couples in 9 years of picture work
 In Justice Dudley's hands, the Bible fell open to its accustomed place, and he read his lines with dignity.
 Powell pulled the ring from his pocket and repeated, With this ring, I thee wed," as he strug- gled manfully to push it over Lin- da's own plus two inches of tape.
 Dudley closed the Bible at the congratulatory speech. Said he heartily, "and may all your worries be troublesome.
 Laughter broke the solemn scene
 The Justice fused. I'm not used to this marrying business" he said, "and anyway MT. Powell looks

Listening to singers on the screen, in night clubs and on the radio, has often left US wondering what they think about when they sing. Other day we met Martha Mears, @ very fine ballad singer, who recently signed a film contract after doubling fo rthe singing voices of about every feminine star in Holly wood. We asked Martha what sing CTS think about while singing, and she had some good ideas.
 Then we talked to some other singers we know who had some ideas. So today we give you John sons Private Research Into What Singers Think About When They Sing:
 If she were Scat" singer she'd be singing, Pistol Packin' Mama" and thinking:
 "Ge, that sailor out there is sure cut. I'm awfully glad had my hair waved this morning. Gee, I think Betty was right when she said l looked best in pink-besides sailors see % much blue. Coop, that felt liks run in my stockings-the $250 ones, too. Oh, well. Yeah, I bet he asks me for date. He has kind of a jiterbug look about him. That last boy, from those mountains, only knew square dances. Gee, am l tired"
 If she were . burlesque queen shea be singing, "How Would You Like to Love Me-" and she'd be thinking:
 "A ranch-that's what I'll have in a few years-a ranch. I'll have about 50 COWS and lots of chickens and couple of dogs. And I'll sit around in big, long housecoatS all day-and never take 'em off. And so help me, I'll never, never smile at anyone with bald head again." ADD THOUGHTS
 If she were film star she'd be singing a new song and she'd be thinking:
 T wonder if that camera is in the right place. I'll bet they're wreck ing my profile. Why did I let them talk me into singing this song any, way. It'll probably never make the Hit Parade. I'm goAna get new agent-that's all I need. He'll get me some good songs. And a good picture. T wonder if he could get me some Scotch, too. Ye Gads, one of my eyelashes is loose. Stop the camera! PLEASE!"
 If she were a grand opera singer, she'd be singing, 70 Sole Mio." And she would be thinking:
 T suppose tonight I'll have let tuce salad. Wouldn't it be nice if I were just dreaming and I would open my eyes at the table and see big, thick steak with golden, creamy butter on top? Oh, of course, I could put up with pork chops, done to a turn, and, for dessert, one of those old-fashioned cakes with 12 eggs. Gosh, my feet are killing me-"
 If he were band crooner he'd be singing "As Time Goes By" and thinking:
 "As time goes by. Nuts. Why can't that draft board make up its mind. Only 10000 fan letters this week. wonder if I'm slipping.
