DEPENDENCY DISCHARGES


Quite often letters are received
requesting assistance in securing a
Dependency Discharge. 1t might be
well to set down here the desired
procedure in such cases. First,
neither the Army nor the Navy will
consider any request for Deepen
dency Discharge unless it is first
initiated by the serviceman himself
through his immediate commanding
officer. His application should be
accompanied by sworn statements
from members of his family and
others in the community having
knowledge Of the situation In the
home. An investigation is then con-
Quoted by the American Red Cross
and the information forwarded to
the Commander initiating the re-
quest.
In the Army the power to grant
Dependency Discharges has been
decentralized to Commanders in the
field Of the rank of General officer.
In the Navy the situation is quite
different as authority for granting
Dependency Discharges is central
lied in the Discharge Section, Bu-
reau Of Naval Personnel, Navy De-
partment. Washington, D. c.
AWARDS AND DECORATIONS
Several letters a month are re-
ceived by the office of Veterans
Affairs, Lansing, Michigan, from
ex-service men, requesting assist
ance in securing the Purple Heart,
Combat Infantryman Badge and
various other awards and decora-
tons which the individual ex-serv-
Ice man feels he is entitled to. So
many Of these requests have been
received by the War and Navy De-
partmentS that the following policy
has been established by the Depart
mentS: All inquiries should be d.
rected TO either the Adjutant Gen
eral, War Department. Washington,
D. C., or the Chief of the Bureau
OF Naval Personnel. U. s. Navy De-
partment, washington, D. c.
If the man is still in Service his
letter should be submitted through
his immediate commanding officer;
If out of the Service, direct under
his own signature. He should in
clude his serial number, dates of
service, where wounded and where
hoSpitalized (for Purple Heart. or
ganization and any other pertinent
information.

Trout Season
Open In Fall

Fishermen get a break during the
next three months when rainbow or
Steelhead trout are hitting hardest.
Action of the 1945 legislature eff
fective September opens addition
al lakes and streams in rs counties
to taking of rainbow trout with
hook and line during September,
October, and November.
Big rainbowS leave deep water Of
lakes when surface temperatures
cool in autumn months and other
rainbowS make their way up some
streams. The fall months, after the
close of the trout season on Labor
Day, are the best time to take rain
bow trout.
The legislature recognized this fact
in opening number of lakes and
streams to fall fishing for rain
bows some years ago and its action
early this year extends the privi-
lege.

Todoy's War Story.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY
Star stan Correspondent.

WITH UNITED STATES Sd
ARMY IN GERMANY.-Poring over
two-year-old German court-martial
records recently came on the
strange case of Corpl Heinz Houben
The document tells its own story i'll
stilted German military language as
follows:
Subject: Judgment regarding
complaint of Corpl. Heinz Houben
against his company commander
1t. Jentzsch.
Statement of facts: On January
l943, Corpl. Heinz Houben was SEN
fenced by his company commander
1t. Jentzsch, to seven days close
arrest for having slaughtered one
of the company's trained mousing
cats in order to eat it.
On January, 1943, Corpl. Houben
lodged a written complaint against
and request for suspension of, the
above sentence on the ground that
he did not know that the cat In
question belonged to the company
Killing Called Inhuman
Judgment: The complaint lodged
by Corpl. Houben is upheld. The
sentence of seven days close arrest
is withdrawn. owing to incorrect
statement of the facts of the case
but new sentence of five days Gloss
arrest is ordered on the ground,
that he on 2 January 1913:
l. Slaughtered q cat in an in.
human fashion.

roast hare, not owing to deficiency
in rations but entirely as a joke,
He intended to eat with them and
only tell them after the meal that
they had eaten a cat. He also
wished to know, as point OF gas
Economical interest, II there was
any difference between hare and
cat meat. The meal, however, did
not take place. The suggested joke
not only would have been an ex-
tremely bad one but also might have
proved harmful to the company
since stray cats may carry all kinds
of diseases.
Judgment: Corpl. Houben is
therefore found guilty on points
two. three and four and sentenced
to five days close arrest"
Since Corpl. Houben already had
spent two days in the guard house
he gained nothing but his victory
on point one
But even the German colonel
who reviewed the sentence, hardly
could have kept straight face.

of these animals into quarters could
not be regarded as misappropria-
ton Of property belonging to any
one. Since the ground for Corpl
Houben's sentence is expressly for
slaughtering one Of the company's
trained mousing cats, his complaint
for this reason must be upheld.
2. When in the opinion of Corpl
Houben the cat had shown itself
to be unframed in catching mice
he decided to do away with 1t and
therefore killed it, but the manner
of killing must be pronounced as
rough and bordering on cruelty to
animals.
Misused Authority.
3. Pvt. Mueller, who had not been
in agreement with the manner OF
killing, next objected to picking up
the carcass. Corpl. Houben then
became most disagreeable and
thereafter compelled him to take
part in the proceedings. Here the
point OF misuse Of his authority is
almost reached.
4. Corpl Houben himself states
he firmly intended to roast the cat
and serve 1t to his comrades as

DETROIT, Oct. 1.-THE De-
troit Lions, tied for second place
in the N at onal Football
Leagues western division with
Green Bay, will 60 after their
second victory of the season
over the Chicago Cardinals in
Briggs Stadium here Sunday.
Earlier in the campaign, the
Lions dumped the Cards, 10 20

Packers rallied last week to
surprise the favored Philadel-
phia Eagles, 1924, in Detroit's
home opener
The Lions know they will be
facing a better team Sunday
than they met four weeks ago
when they encountered the
Cards for the first time. Return
of Paul Christman, as we'll as
several other pre-war stars from
the service, has revitalized the
Cards to such point that they
now regard even their cross
town rivals, the Bears, as easy
prey. 1t was at the expense ct
the thrice beaten Bears that the

their teams were the following
Cards ended their 29-game los
ing streak last week, Is to 7.
Tn victory over the Eagles
was a much needed tonic for the
Lions, who are now back in the
thick of the title scramble. How
ever, the Lions must still face
the Cards, Bears, Boston again,
New York, Cleveland and Green
Bay in that order.
Card victory hopes hinge up
on the passing and generalshlp
of Christman, the running If
halfbacks Leo Cantor and Frank
Seno and the play of a line that
averages 225 pounds from end to
end. Detroit. too is counting upon
superior line play to provide an
edge; this and the backfield
work of such stars as Chuck
Fenenbock, Andy Farkas and
Bob Westfall. 1t will be the 24:h
game between the clubs, with
Detroit holding 18 of the vic
tories.

Win, go

Lake Shore won its third game
of the season by defeating Utica
6 to 0. Lake Shore now has two
wins and tie in the Bi-County
League standings. Lake Shore
scored in the second period af-
ter George Albright, John Will
liams and Richard Green had
carried the ball to the one foot
line. From the one foot line,
Donald Judge carried the ball
over on line buck.
Utica gained lot OF ground
in the mid-field but when they
got as far as Lake Shores rs
yard line, the Lake Shore de-
fensive stiffened and took over
on downs. Lake Shore also found
Utica tough in defensive of its
own goal.
Utica tried several passe s,
were unable to connect on the
long ones, but did complete sew
eral short ones. Lake Shore had
a scoring chance in the fourth
quarter but Utica ended it by
intercepting a pass. One of the
largest crowds to attend a Utica
Lake Shore game were on hand
last Wednesday.

SPORTS FANS in the city are
very receptive to the idea IN
that they have continuously voic-
ed the need for a football team
to represen. the city in addition
to the high school team.
In revealing his plans Sierens
said that he would sponsor the
team and give the players the
best equipment and protection
available. He said that many
former Mount Clemens stars VINO
are now in the service have al
ready been contacted and have
signified that they would be
willing to play for Sierens.
Some of the players who have
been contacted by Sierens are
Don Lozen, Bob Devices, Alex
Wakefield, Homer Van Hollen-
beck, Dotty Macdonald, Matt
Killiwald, Jack Sierens, Ralph
Siewert, Bob White, AL Does
cher and many other stars in
GLIDING the great John Pingel
former All-American.
II Sierens' plan goes through
games will be played under
lights and should prove to be
very popular here. Sierens sad
that the only drawback to his
plan is a city stadium. He said
that he would be willing to make
a stable contribution toward
the stadium when drive for
funds starts. He added he would
also contributes his services in a
drive for funds and urged any
one interested in the stadium to
contact him. He felt that q me-
mortal stadium to the men
from Mount Clemens who have
served in the armed forces dur

lent idea.

Two 60 mes

The Mount Clemens Bathers
Will play their second Eastern
Michigan League game Friday
afternoon at $50 on the high
school field when they tangle
with Birmingham.
Coach Roy Quinn of the Red
and Gray has been working his
SQUAD hard this week in an ef-
fort TO produce a winning COM
bination. Several new plays have
been added to the "repertory'
and a win is in the offing for
the Hard Luck Bathers who
have played some good ball this
year only to lose four straight.
Quinn pointed out that his
team has been able to score in
every game but lacked the pow
er TO hold the lead or prevent
the opponent from topping it.
With the assistance of Back
field Coac h Dick Edwards,
Quinn has been trying to find
the best offensive combination
to throw into the game and 1t
is expected that the same back
field which started last weeks
game against Port Huron will
be in there fighting. Gene Rein
hardt, playing right halfback,
has stood out in practise during
the week and it is expected he
will see some action this week.
Although the team was badly
shaken up after the Port Huron
game, the Bathers' mentor said
that no players will be lost due
to injuries. Capt. Clink Schroed-
er's bruised side has been COM
ing along we'll and he will def
initely start at his regular right
end position.
Quinn stated today that
new guard has been added to
the squad in the form of Milt
Enders from Fraser and he has
been working out in that po-
sition.
Birmingham has tied one
game so far in the Eastern
Michigan loop and has lost to
Dearborn "a to 0 and also to
Pontiac
The league standings follow:
