navigation only" aspect Of the
hearing.
Speaker after speaker. ordl-
nary citizens and officials alike
opened their remarks with pleas
for navigation aid, and then
swung into spirited and emphat-
ic discourses on the damage
done by floods in 1888, 1913 and
1945.
PROJECT AUTHORIZED
Highlight of the session was
the revelation by Col. Miller
that Congress has authorized a
project to deepen the Clinton
channel to the authorized eight
feet, and widen it to the estab-
lished 50-foot width, but in an
swer TO question by Drain
COMMISSIONS William c. Har-
per regarding funds and the
start of work, the district engi-
neer indicated that no funds
have yet been provided. His an
swer provoked ripple of laugh
ter through the audience.
In questioning witnesses who
appeared before the engineer 5
board, Col. Miller later showed
interest in the suggestion of City
Commissioner Edward j. Dubay
that the river be deepened TO
10 feet and widened 10 30 feet,
and in the comment of George
McCordic, Huron Clinton engi-
neer, that IF economically feaS-
ible" the river could be made
navigable up to Utica as great
benefit to the entire area.
A. D. Brewer, executive sec
rotary of the Mount Clemens
Board of Commerce confined his
remarks exclusively TO the sub
ject Of the hearing, navigation
He stressed the resort nature OF
the community; the fleets OF
small and large pleasure craft,
and boat manufacturing carried
on beside the river.
DEBRIS-FlLLED RIVER
All speakers who touched on
navigation emphasized the rub
Dish and debris which clogs the
river and damages boats; the Ell
feet of floods in filling the chan
mel with silt and junk, and the
fact that commercial enterprise
was in past years forced from
the river by its shallowness and
since that time has been kept
from re-establishing because OF
the poor and dangerous naviga-
ton.
The War Departments con-
struction of dyke to keep
flood waters out of Selfridge

Clinton River (rather than into

VATICAN CITY, April 19.-Pope
Plus XII in an implied reference to
the San Francisco Conference yes
terday called for special prayers ask
ing that divine assistance be given
world leaders to frame a peace which

Otherwise, he said In a circular

The Pope asked for special prayers

He said human resources were in

"We know full well that human sa-

zoo, 100000 SHOTGUN SHELLS

The word comes from Washington
that the nations hunters will have to get
along with 20O,000,O00 shotgun shells this
year, or about half as many as they had in
1914. Even so, the ALLEGATION by the War
Production Board is more than double the
120000,000 shells proposed by the Army
last December
Most of the sportsmen of the country
will cheerfully accept the fact that the
nation, at war, must produce ammunition
for its fighting men. They will willingly
fOrego shotgun shells in order that there
may be an abundance of ammunition for
men in contact with the enemy. If there
are hunters in this country who would pre-
sumo to put their sport ahead of the safety
of fighting men, they should be banished
from the nation altogether.
Naturally, you will not hear hunters
contending that their needs should have
priority to those of fighting men. They will
not take this preposterous position. There
may be few, however, who will loudly
profess their desire that fighting men have
all that they need but, for various reasons,
grumble and complain about the ALLEGATION,
asserting that it is unnecessary, etc.

ANOTHER WAR LOAN

Now that the Seventh War Loan Drive
is matter of history, it is we'll to bear in
mind the inevitable fact that an eighth war
loan drive is coming.
In fact, a special $20O-war bond will
be offered, carrying quotation, spoken by
Franklin D. Roosevelt in a radio talk to the
nation on December 9, 1941, two days after
Pearl Harbor.
The Treasury Department invited news
paper men in Washington to submit sug-
gestions for the words to appear on the
bond. The prize-winner was suggested by
Daniel M. Kidney, who won 500 bond by
calling attention to the following words:

INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE

Views and counter-views, in the shape
of letters, pamphlets, sizable volumes, are
flooding newspaper offices in the United
States.
Day after day they fill The Citizens
waste basket, and yesterday we learned
that the Key West Chamber of Commerce
also is receiving literature" of many types
from various parts of the country.
Most of the. writings deal with the
postwar world, though The Citizen receiv-
ed four-p page leaflet that attacks religions
of all kinds.
Countless thousands of Americans, it
appears, are anxious to express their views
about the type of world we should have
after the war.
This will be best for the country, one
says, and goes on to use several thousand
words to try to prove what he says is right,
but just the opposite is best for the country,
according to another propaganda.
Occasionally The Citizen receives an
article that is outstanding, such as the one
against putting medical practitioners un-
der a federal bureau.
There are far too many federal bu-
reaus at present, too much Capitalization
of government, and the quicker the country
gets back to private enterprise, with every
man striving for his own success without
governmental help, the better it will be for
the United States.
Individual initiative made this country
great, and individual initiative should be
accorded the opportunity to function again,
as soon as the war is over, wfthout@inter--.

Most taxpayers will agree that there
should be law demanding the resignation
of an office holder if for any reason, after
designated time, he is incapacitated from
performing the duties of the office for
which the electors have chosen him. Only
the best of men will resign voluntarily if
they find they cannot do the job for which
they were elected; generally under such
circumstances they have to be eased out,
or if that doesn't work, thrown out. The
taxpayer has the right to get his moneys
worth, always.
