Tax Warning
Letters Brinq
Gosh Results

The success of a new plan OF
the Macomb County Treasurer's
Office, that of notifying delin-
quent taxpayers by mail that
their property is about to be
listed on the l945 tax sale, was
reported this week as a proven
success by Treasurer William G.
Miller.
The labor Of sending out
$500 letters to owners of 1912
tax delinquent property was
we'll balanced by the return,
Miller revealed, as he added up
more than $4,000 in tax pay
ments received in response to
the letters.
He and deputy treasurers
Maurice Daily and Frank Smith
claimed that it was the first
time in the history of Macomb
County that property owners in
imminent peril of losing their
lands 10 the public sale had been
notified in advance of the formal
published tax sale notices.
The letters merely called the
property owners attention 20
the fact that the 1912 tax had
not been paid and that the prop
erty would be listed in the l945
tax sale.
The success resulting from the
mailed notices will mean that
instead of the $500 descriptions
which were the 1914 totals on
the tax sale, the number of
properties will not exceed 5000
Miller states.
Persons wishing to redeem
their delinquent 1912 or Ten
Year-Plan properties at this time
are required to pay 81 fee
CATER Oct. u, half Of which goes
TO the county and half to the
state, to underwrite the extra
bookkeeping and advertising in
volved in the delinquent pay
ment.
Payments of delinquent tax
bills are still coming in at the
rate of rs to 100 payments daily,
Miller states, running the finan-
cial return from the mailed
notices above $4,000.

awaited his next scheduled
speech, on foreign policy Satur-
day night, Dewey travelled back
to New York after leaving these
questions with a ST. Louis audi
ence:
is the tired and quarrelsome
New Deal all America has to
offer? Must we go back TO leaf
raking and doles? Must our re-
turning heroes go on the same
old WPA? Must our farmers go
back to detailed control by a
host of New Deal agents, with
falling prices TO BOOT"
Dewey also said that this
idea of keeping men in the
Army for fear that they won't
get jobs after the war was in a
report made public last year by
Mr.. Roosevelt himself" He said
this report came from presi-
neutrality-suspicious. conference
on postwar readjustment.
6-YEAR RACE?
Truman, running for Vice
President with Mr.. Roosevelt on
the Democratic ticket, speaking
in Los Angeles, also posed some
questions. Saying that for six
years the Republican candidate
has been seeking the Presiden-
cy," he asked:
DO you remember the Re-
publican candidate as a cour-
ageous leader who took strong
stands that were proved
correct by subsequent events?
Or do you remember him as an
office seeker dealing in plati-
tudes and sitting on the fence
waiting to find out which way
to jump"
In 1910, Truman said, Dewey
pooh-poohed the Presidents
goal Of $4,000 planes, whereas
I've are building airplanes at
- twice the number Mr..
Dewey said was impossible"
Truman drew the conclusion
that" thunder a President like the
Republican candidate, we would
have set our sights too low"

like nervous snake" It was very funry, Sonny thought. For seven years he worked with orchestras in eastern night clubs and on Atlantic liners, and had once been billed, in Florida's swank supper clubs, as "Society's Favorite Singer.
 But I was a drummer and not very good singer" he said. But this scene calls for some sailors to work up an orchestra routine in a bus, and there wasn't any room in the bus for a drum. So I'm go- ing to play a sax. They'll have to dub in the music. never could play a sax"
 DRUMMER BOY
 It was Sonny's drumming career, in fact, which almost landed him in opera. After seven years play ing the drums he couldn't take it any longer.
 So he decided to become an opera singer. He studied seriously for two years. then got an addition at the Met. ''They said I was pretty good, ," he said, "but then I got to thinking about how much more money I could make in night clubs. So I forgot about opera, and went back to the night club racket"
 Two years ago wealthy Alexis Thompson offered to stake Tufts for fling at Hollywood. Thompson paid all his expenses in return for 50 per cent of anything he earned. Sonny took screen test, and Director Mark Sandrich gave him his first role as a marine in 50 Proudly We Hail."

We'd like to apologize today for not getting around sooner to Sonny Tufts. For months we've been ig- noring the gentleman, even going out of our way to avoid meeting him on or off the screen. Any grown man with a name like Sonny, we figured, would be zany.
 Then, a couple of nights ago, Mrs. J. went to a preview. We were asleep when Mrs. J. returned. She shook us like the house was afire and said, Do you know Sonny Tufts?"
 We groaned and lied that we'd never heard of the gent.
 "WlI," sighed Mrs. J., Ines a new actor in Hollywood. And he's wonderful"
 That did it. Mrs. J. has always shared our hate for glamor boys, so apparently we were off the beam about Sonny. We made a mental note to look him up, which we did a few days later.
 You could have knocked us over with an option. Sonny wasn't any, thing like we imagined. A very rugged gent, indeed. Six-two with a sturned-up chin, tilted mouth and no illusions about being a great actor. In fact, he said. I'm not an actor I don't know a thing about dramatics. just figure out how a character would react, and read the lines"
 NAME DATA
 We told Sonny Tufts why we had been ignoring him. He laughed, said his wealthy society parents back in Boston started calling him Sonny the day he was born and that it stuck. Even Sonny he said was better than his real name, Bowen 'Charleton Tufts.
 "But," said Sonny. you should hear my wife. She calls me Bam- bi." The reason, he said, was prob ably because he's always bump ing his shins, or hitting his thumb with 8 hammer or falling off racing bicycle he likes to ride.
 Day we talked to Sonny he had just come from the set of Para mounts Bring On the Girls" where he had been rehearsing playing a sax and singing one of his favorites. a ditty about Egyp- tian Ella who "wiggled and shook
