Empty Stronghold

VAN DYKE - Evidence of
another big : time safecracking
job in the Detroit area ap-
parently by a gang which has
been active for more than year
- was uncovered by officers of
the Sheriff's Department in War
rem Township today.
Under circumstances almost
identical with similar find
founr months ago, they discov-
cred half-ton iron safe in the
seat-less back compartment of a
stolen car. The safe had been
blown open with nitro-glycerin
and completely emptied except
for some valuable precision ma
chine-tools which were left in it.
OWNERSHIP UNKNOWN
Identity of the firm owning
the safe was not readily avail
able, but the presence of tools
in the safe, investigators said,
indicated it was taken from a
small war plant, possibly in the
Highland Park district. 1t was
found on Dequindre between
Eight and Nine Mile roads.

0DT POLICY CANCEL
 BIG SERIES
AII- Star Ball Game1s 0ut- Shadow Hangs Over
 World Classic
By BUS HAM


 WASHINGTON, Feb g - The 1945 World Series may be cancelled and the annual All Star Major League game is definitely out of the picture. The whole sports world will have to curtail travel sharply as a result of a Government de- cree.
 Action, which took the form of a request" by the Office of De- fense Transportation, was addressed initially to Baseball, which was asked to cut travel by 25 per cent, compared to 1944. But, the ODT is formulating an overall Home Field" policy which is expected to cut out at least one-fourth of all passenger-mile travelled by ath- letic teams, amateur and profes- sional.
 Some intersectional football con- tests and basketball games ap- parently will go by the board, how ever, the action came as somewhat of a relief to those baseball fans who have been fearing outright cancellation. It tends to give the game a sort of lease-on-li on clarified basis, provided the ODT requests" are observed.
 Here are four ways by which Baseball is asked to cut travel:
 D-Games are to be played only in the home city of one or the other of the competing teams;
 2)-Team rosters, when travelling, are to be reduced to minimum;
 3)-The World Series is to be held only if transportation and war conditions, at the time, permit;
 An clubs are to re-examine their schedules and make such further transportation savings as may be possible.
 Major League leaders voluntarily pledged full cooperation"

 'Haines!" exclaimed the director. Why, that surely is coincidence. That girl over there at the table has just come down from Haines. y In a moment they'd been intro duced. T certainly do know your father" she replied. T talked with him only day before yesterday. He and a lot of other people can hardly wait to see you!'
 CThe girl, Elizabeth Clark, a school teacher, had come to Ju- neau just the day previous. She was awaiting the arrival here of her fiance, also of the Army Air Corps, so that they could marry. Only couple of minutes before she had been introduced to the director. Where has your fiance been sta- tioned?" he asked. Tn Kansas Coffeyville, Kan a S." she said. Why, that's odd" was his reply. "Of the four men in this room right now, one-that Coast Guards man there-has just returned from his leave in Coffeyville.' And B. E. C'Kansas') Graham was called over to answer her questions about the hometown he had so recently left.)
 During nearly two years at the Juneau USO Club we've been a witness to almost countless heart warming episodes of one sort or another. At the moment we recalled none quite so cheerily pulse quickening as the sight of the face of that combat weary, travel weary sergeant of the Air Corps when he met that girl down from Haines on Sunday night.
 He didn't find at our USO a home away from home. Much better than that, he found somebody Fate seemed to have sent down here to reassure him about his true home. For he was one of that multitude of men who, on the eve of their return after years of absence in the war, find themselves seized by panic lest home turn out to be utterly different from the place remembered, lest perhaps even at the last moment they find them selves cheated of loved ones they had left there. Ii, they who have so long walked or flown through the shadows of death could only gain some real, first-hand assur- ance in those final hours that they would find life still being lived there as when they went away, that would mean immeasurably much to them
 To one such man at least there came, most unexpectedly, in those final hours a peace of mind born out of just such assurance gained as the result of a chance meeting during his chance visit to the Juneau USO Club last Sunday night.
