set forth by the international labor
conference.
Monday is the deadline for pre-
senting resolutions to the confer
ence. The United States will present
at least eight on health, sanitation
and nutrition, relaxation of wartime
economic controls, and proposed
machinery for continued control of
subverSive activities. Five resolu-
tions will deal with economic prob
lens.
The broad U. S. plan for improv-
ing the standard of living of the
hemisphere and creating economic
stability will be outlined by Assist
ant U. S. Secretary of State William
H. Clayton Tuesday at a special
joint session of the economic COM
missions.
TO ASSIGN WORK
Most of the big problems will be
referred to other Interamerican
agencies or deferred for future con-
ferenceS.
1t is expected that the economic
program, for example, will be turn
ed over to the Interamerican eco
nomic advisory group which meet
in Washington on June Is. The world
organization plans and proposals for
guaranteeing the territorial integri-
ty of Latin American nations ap-
PEARS destined to await the San
Francisco conference in April. The
plan for strengthening the Inter-
american system will be referred
to the ninth conference of American
states.
The fears Of the Latins that the
end of the war will send their econ
cmies into a tail spin is matched
by fears in the United States that
it will have to support the world.
Reconciling those two points of view
will be the objective of the U. S. pro-
gram.

Expert Outlines Simple
Method of Fur Glazing

Glazing a fur coat, which gives it
a nice gloss and an appearance OF
newness, can be done at home by
fairly simple methods, says Man
Reilly, of the textiles and clothing
department of Michigan State col
lege.
Use plain water or secure Chinese
Wood from a furriers' supply house.
Soak the wood in water for several
days. Using a clean comb and a
large brush, comb and brush the
garment with the flow of the hair.
Continue until fur is thoroughly wet.
With a smooth wooden stick, push
the fur backward against the flow
of the hair. Then, using dry brush.
smooth the fur down.
Finally, apply a warm iron with
the flow of the hair. The iron can be
used directly on the hair, but it is
safer to place piece of oiled pa
per or a newspaper between the
warm iron and the fur. II waxed
paper is used, care must be taken
that the fur doesn't become sticky
or waxy. Flat-haired furs, those that
have MORE patterns in the curl,
and those with dyes that run or rub
off, should not be ironed.

Trenton Park Site Purchase
Vote Ends In Tie; Stormy
Session OF Village Council

Proposed acquisition Of a $4,000
56-acre park site in Trenton met
with a tie vote in a stormy ses-
sion of the village council Monday.
Objections to the park site pur-
chase were raised by councilmen
because the village would not be
able to meet the purchase financi-
ally and that the village already
had access to Elizabeth Park.
The site of the park is between
Helen street and King road to the
Detroit river, with several hundred
feet of river frontage.
Despite the fact that the pro-
posed land purchase had gained
tremendous favoritism of residents,
clubs and other organizations of the
village, the councilmen cast three
nay and three yea votes. Village
president Raymond LaBeau was
unable to cast the tie-breaking
vote since under the statute there
must be a two-thirds concurring
vote of the trustees-elect In the

The checks, already In the mail,
should have reached most custo-

though some may be delayed as a
result of the Christmas rush.
The rebates, distributed for the

and has since been adoped by num-
