Don't Learn The
Hard Way

If the war has taught the owner of
home anything about domestic problems,
1t is that an adequate and economical heat
ing plant is about the most important thing
IN his house, next to the roof The necessity
for saving fuel has forced home-owners to
recognize this fact and in so doing they have
found out few elemental truths, one of
which is that when house is built it should
have chimney big enough to take care of
all types of fuel. 1t costs little more to
build such chimney when a house is under
construction, but it is costly and often an
impossible job to enlarge chimney later
The bituminous coal industry, because of
shortages in other fuel, has had to heat
thousands of homes that never before used
COAL and which had chimneyS not suitable
for coal. 1t has been pointing out the neces-
sity for proper chimney construction for
safety, economy, and freedom from depen-
dency on any one type of fuel And this is
something for home-builderS to remember
in the days ahead when record-breaking
era of small home construction is predicted

IS YEARS AGO
IN WYANDOTTE

Wyandotte had its share Of ex-
element when the body Of a man
was found hanging from tree on
a nearby farm. 1t is believed that
the man is a former resident OF
Ecorse. No reason has been found
why he committed suicide.
MORE YET
Only it didn't stop with just that
after the men working on the
sewer project got paid a gang
of bandits broke into the house that
they were renting and staged hold
up. Unwilling to give up their wages
as easily as that the workmen
put up fight In the course Of the
battle one man was killed. The
shots attracted the police who gave
the bandits a chase and finally
caught them.
The younger set learned q few
things about health from Cho- Cho
the clown. The health department
staged an entertaining afternoon
at the Marx theater where all the
school children met and watched
the clever antics of the clown as
he showed the children the health
habits they should follow.
Backing into live wire was the
cause of the death Of local citizen
at the plant where he worked.

Plan Now For The Future

World War II will not only end on the
battlefieldS. 1t must also bring a successful
follow-through in all communities through
out the world when residents will act to
make effective the democratic ideals for
which men have died.
This calls for a community program here
and elsewhere of health improvement, an
increase in the recreation and educational
advantages offered and decent living level.
Community planning should be begun now.
not left for the postwar period, for if it is
put-off until then we will run the risk of
no planning at all or of having to accept
programs offered by the state or national
government.
How many people are likely to become
residents of Wyandotte ten years from now?
What are our goals to be in education and
recreation? These are the problems that con-
front us now and will confront us in the
6.ure.
The essence of our planning must be laid
with local community council or planning
committee with subcommittee to study the
major interests and activities necessary in
our city.

So Much For So Little

Tonight, more than 1000 Wyandotters
will watch great performance on the stage
and screen of the Wyandotte theatre The
mammoth show, sponsored by the Junior
Chamber of Commerce, is open only to War
Bond purchasers.
Stage and radio stars have offered their
services and will give out while you shell

dotte, through the efforts of the active Jay
Gees, will see film premiere as we'll as

Down River residents have paid out more
than 100000 for War Bonds to see the gala
one-night, one-show performance, and last
minute bond buyers are clamoring for the
privilege of buying standing room space in
the back of the theatre
The success of the show is measured by
the successful bond drive which preceded

The Shock Is Late

What should shock us most now about
the revelations of recent German atrocities
is the fact that we are so shocked
Now IN the neWS-columnS of the dailv
papers, the photographs in papers and
magazines, the eyewitness accounts, the
tales OF returning soldiers, the terrible
motlon-plcture records, we are seeing what
the Germans did Tor allowed to be done, it
is all one in totalitarian state), to slave
LABOR, political prisoners, and prisoners of
war. Yet 1t is an appalling revelation of
our own state of mind that we have had to
wait for these revelations to drive the shock
home to us.
Does anyone still think this is new mani
feStation of Germanism? Did no one ever
stop to consider that if you train the cream
OF your university youth Qong, long before
Hltler) to fight duels for the scars that were
honorable on their faces, you were creating
Lublln camp? Did no one ever stop to con-
slider that when the cruel brutality of con-
script army training Qong, long before Hit
ler) led both to the highest suicide rate in
the world and to emigration from Germany
Dachau was being built? Did no one ever
stop to consider that the determination of
the Jews of Europe by the Master Race
would lead straight to the starved skeletons
of French, Polish, Russian, British, and
American prisoners of war?
Why are we shocked now? Was not the
time for shock in 1870, in 1914, and 1888?
Germanism has merely reached its logical
and inevitable conclusion. These things =
Dachau, Lublin, Wight, Stalag - all the
horrible list - these are but the end results
foretold - long before Hitler, long, long
before We Day.
