blaze that was suspected be pur-

at the Methodist church retarded
the progress. The burned-out ten

various quarters.
Humor that existed In that day

Kate: Dolly Is wearing Louis XIV

Belle: I knew they we're pretty

A narrow escape was had by DAN

clerk. 1t seems that Danny was
crossing the ice to Canada to visit
a cousin, when on the way back,
in a binding snowstorm, he fell
through the ice where the Eureka
Brewing Co. had been cutting ice.
After being in the cold, cold water
for at least half hour, he managed
to break his way into solid ice. A
narrow escape - all right.

You might help someone learn to
walk or to use their arms again,
and wouldn't that give you salts

AL you need do is take your old
leather jackets, ties. felt hats, hose,
purses to the Visiting Nurse office
in the Calvin Theatre Building,
Dearborn, and they in turn will see
that the Curative workshop gets
them. These discarded materials
are used in weaving, painting, and
making gadgets by patients who are
learning to re-educate their muscles
after having had infantile paralysis,
a fracture, or arthritis.
The Visiting Nurse Associations
Curative Workshop is located at the
corner Of Garfield and woodward
avenues in Detroit, and Is available
to anyone in the Detroit area for
whom the doctor orders physiother-
apy or occupational therapy. Trans
portation can be arranged through
the staff at the workshop.
Your Visiting Nurse in this area
has frequent need for old white

or other clean cloth It could be put
to good use in caring for patients
who are sick at home.

Former Guerilla
Chief Visits
Packard Workers
Navy Hero Lauds PTS
in Recounting Action

Marine engine builders of the
Packard Motor Car Company today
had the assurance that they are
participating in production Of zone
of the most valuable weapons of
the war"
The assurance came from Lieut..
Tiff Richardson, 26-year-old Naval
officer whose record in the South
Pacific war zone includes duty
aboard one of the two PIT boats
which took General Macarthur out
of the Philippines in 1912, and near
ly three years of guerilla activity on
Leyte.
THE hard-hitting PIT boats, pow
cred by the engines you build, have
been and will continue to be one of
the most valuable weapons of this
war;" Lieut.. Richardson told Pack
ard workers during tour of depart
ments producing marine engines for
all Navy PIT boats and Army rescue
craft.
There is no ship that could re-
place those fast PTS for the kind
Of work they do, which at some
points include the sinking of between
five and ten Jap barges a night"
ENGINES RAN SUBMERGED
The youthful lieutenant, who
aided General MacArthur's return
to the Philippines through his work
rs chief of staff of the Leyte guer-
lila army, recounted for Packard
workers two instances where their
engines saved deadly PTS from dis
aSter.
Just before Jap planes caught up
with his PIT, which had gone
aground in Cebu harbor, and sank
her with incendiaries. Lieut.. Rich
ardson told workers, the ship joined
with another of Lieut. Commander
John Bulkeley,s IN seriously danaag-
ing large japanese cruiser.
after we fired our fish at that
cruiser" he explained, cit was time
to get out Of there-and fast. The
officer at the throttleS pulled them
wide open. Never before, or since,
have gone so fast. Those engines
must have turned upwards of 400
revolutions per minute over their
recommended maximums."
Another time, he related, his PIT
hit a buoy. which ripped a man
size hole in the hull.
"We took on lot Of water in no
time" he said, but the engines, al
thought actually submerged, pulled
us more than a mile to shore. At
terward the officer in charge of the
engines said he had to duck his
head under water to shift gears"
ADDRESSES ENGINE SCHOOL
Lieut.. Richardson spoke briefly to
Army and Navy personnel in Pack
ards Marine Engine School and en-
phaSized the need for trained me-
chanics In the South Pacific area.
"Of course" he said, "the need
was more acute two or three years
ago, but we've still a long way to
go over there - even to get back
where we started from, and the
PTS will be in the thick Of the
fight"

that about s25OOO.OOO in state sur
plus will become available this year,
we will recommend that $40, 900
be set aside for postwar building.
We do not believe the existing $50
100000 postwar reserve should be
touched for buildings, but should be
retained for assisting veterans"
If the postwar reserve of $50,O00,-
600 is to be frozen to protect Michi-
gan's $4,000 war veterans, 1t is ap-
parent that additional money must
be found either by wartime thrift

Climbing Off the Fence

ONCE UPON A TIME a news
paperman who had his eye on
the cash register said never
take sides in a political election.
Sit ON the fence and rake in
the lettuce from all factions.

handed down by smart newspaper

practiced what he preached =.

than quiet. They'd rather eat beans
than sit with kings.

this jumping off the fence. He's
found a man everyone can vote for
:. and then say. II did it and I'm
glad This man is the kind OF a
guy that looks good and is good.
And many of us know him well
enough to know these words aren't
q political speech.
We don't know anything about his
chances to win because in this
political age goodness has nothing
to do with getting elected. For the
sake Of good government We hope
he's politician enough to know the
ropes. 1t would be a shame to
count him out on ballot day.
The man Of whom we speak is
well-known Down River and
he's running for the office of Wayne
County Auditor on the Demo-
cratic ballot. In a lot of respects
he reminds us of Wyandotte'S own
1t. Fred Gartner who used to
run for the Legislature on the Dem
ocrutic ballot and get elected
every time because all the Repub-
lcans voted for him D. too.
Lieutenant Commander Harold E.
StoIl doesn't deserve to be elected
Wayne County Auditor just because
he's q Democrat. He has character
.. ability and experience that will
appeal to Democrats and Republi-
cans alike I. If they want good
government.
Stoll was .former Register of
Deeds who voluntarily enlisted In
the military service of the United
States back in 1912. In the
first World War he chose the army
.. and marched with his regiment
as a Second Lieutenant.
His son Second Lieutenant
Robert II. Stoll was killed in
action IN January of last year while
plotting a P-38 fighter plane &.
in the South Pacific.
Your reporter wants to point out
that the Wayne County Board of
Auditors Is the governing body Of
Wayne County and has the
functions which in a municipality
like wyandotte are held by the
Mayor, City Council and Depart
ment heads. 1t is an important
post that calls for integrity
-. ability and experience. 1t should
not be treated lightly. Wyandotters
have Q lot Of money tied up in our
county form of government :. and
we should voice our convictions as
to who should handle it.
Before being elected to the office
of Register Of Deeds Lieutenant
Commander Harold Stoll served as
State Senator back in 1927.
Four times the voters elected him
to the office of Register of Deeds
serving a total Of 10 years.
When he left that office to serve
his country he had accomplished a
host Of economical reforms. After
almost three years Of service in the
Navy he was honorably discharged
:. in February of this year.
The statistics show that 1t.
Comm. Stoll was born in Ypsilanti
4s years ago. He has pretty wife
and two swell kids :. and is proud
OF his membership to the American
Legion.
And there he is We like him
a.. we're sold on him :. We think
I'm do q damn good job If the
beople viii vote him in.

for the office but we'll take
