Rushing production to meet
the estimated needs at East and
West Coast sailing points, the
volunteer production workers of
this chapter are putting in extra
hours gladly in order to complete
in record time the quota Of 81
O24 kit-bags which the chapter
accepted for the period ending
March 81 according to Mrs.
Tinker.
Although our quota is only
small part of the national
supply Mrs. Tinker says,
"Our workers feel 1t q
personal responsibility to the
boys going overseas to make
sure no serviceman leaves port
without a kit"
And no wonder servicemen
cherish them and constantly
write letters Of appreciation to
the Red Cross Chapter whose
name is on the kit-bag :.
Standard contents of the bags
are cigarettes, shoe cloths, sta
ionery, razor blades, pocket-size
fiction, pencils, soap and soap
boxes, combs and games.
Because of the comparative
shortage of playing cards only
every alternate kit contains a
deck. which means there's
always someone nearby to
furnish the cards for game.
The kit that receives no cards
contains extra cigarettes or
game.

During the year 1914 total
of 40 men sentenced TO proba-
tonary terms in the circuit Court
of Macomb County were induct-
ed into the nations armed fore
es, through the office of F. Scott
Burke. county Probation Off
Ger, il is revealed in Burke's an
nual report submitted TO the
Board of Supervisors this week.
These men were not taken
into the service. Burke explains,
so that the service could reform
them or straighten out their
lives. Every case was subjected
to elaborate scrutiny and inves-
tigation. and reviewed by the
court with the sole question in
mind as to whether or not the
probationary subject could be
an asset TO the nations services.
That a man could make a genu-
inc contribution - the war by
donning a uniform was the only
consideration weighed by the
Probation Office and the Circuit
Court. Burke reported.
Due to the Army inductions,
the case load in Burke's depart
ment dropped from 1888 at the
end of 1913 TO 1925 on Dec. 81
ls44. Similarly the drop is re-
Elected in the earnings of pro-
bationers: Sl23, 884.55 in l943
and Sl15,6l2.73 in 1914; re-
duction Of S8,271.82.
One unfortunate aspect al
though human one-is report
ed by Burke; the fact that out
of "a probationers received dur
ing the year Is "fell by the way
side and had to be brought into
court for prison sentence. How
ever, 1874 probationcrs, some of
them carried-over from prev
ious years, were released from
the terms of probation which
they had fulfilled satisfactorily
Thirteen probationers abscond-
ed or disappeared during the
year. Their arrest in another
state will reveal their status
through fingerprints.

How Leader Dogs
Will Benefit
Blind Seruicemen

A second pair Of eyes and the
knowledge that they will not
have TO be dependent upon
others will be the hope and real
ization of servicemen returning
home without the sense of sight.
To provide a second pair of
eyes is the function of the Lead
er Dog League foundation in
Rochester, Mich, according to
its business manager Harold
Woman who spoke at the Lions
Club weekly Thursday noon
meeting held at Dads Rustic
Rest. Totally blind himself, Wor-
man was accompanied to the
meeting by his dog Butch" who
sat at his side while his master
told of the training of Seeing
Eye dogs.
A period of three months is
required to train the dogs, it was
revealed, and four weeks TO train
the blind student to work with
his newly acquired eyes. A vet
eran of World War II who had
recently completed his training
at the Leader foundation told,
on record made of radio
broadcast at the school, that he
had lost his sight by being hit by
shrapnel, and how he now has a
new pair of eyes. The veteran,
the first blind serviceman to re-
turn from the present war, stat
ed that because of his faithful
dog companion he has been able
TO accept a position in a large
Detroit defense plant.

Dorothy Dix Says

Whatever the faults of the mod
ern woman, and heaven knows they
are a plenty, she isn't a weeper. She
doesn't sit down and howl over
everything that goes wrong with
her. In grandma's time the fem
mime sex was mainly composed of
moist, unpleasant bodies, as Mr..
Mantellini used to say, but nova
days you are just as much sur
prised to see a woman burst into
tears as you would be If a man
did it.
In the past the ability to cry out
loud seems to have been regarded
as an elegant accomplishment. The
heroines of all the old novels were
perfect geysers of tears that they
turned on at the slightest provoca-
ton. Sweet Alice Ben Bolt "wept
with delight when you gave her a
SMILE" and a poet of the time as
serted, Just as a matter of fact, that
men must work, but women must
weep, so runs the world away"
All of us who are-well, no longer
bobbysoxers-can well recall cer-
tain melancholy ladies, swathed in
crepe, who used to come and spend
the day with our mothers, holding
a tearfest. They were women who

of having a baby is the resultant
pretty convalescence when all you
have to do is sit up in bed and

time is in the choice of a bed

glamour than in one we have lust

cool as possible without solidifying,
and then submerge the flowers
quickly. The wax hardens imme-
diately, and while they looked lovely
at the time can't testify as to
whether or not they would last
through a winter. I don't recall
dipping sweet peas, but If they are
very fresh and firm I can see no

WASHING SWEATERS.
from Mrs. B. ~, Boyds, Md
1 have been reading Readers
Clearing House for long time, and
uaeterdov COW, tl,ot NEre TT ~ n
from Washington wanted to know
about washing sweaters. I have
washed sweaters for myself and
others and they always turn out
very well. This is the process that
I use: Lay the sweater on a news
paper (pull into shape), cut out a
rough pattern. Wash sweater in
lukewarm water with any mild soap.
Do not rub. just keep squeezing
the suds through and change the
water if necessary. Rinse in luke
warm water and lay on a turkish
towel. Pull into shape and then
lay the paper pattern over the
sweater to see If it is about the
right shape. Put somewhere in the
shade outdoors or indoors. When
dry on one side, turn over. This
takes little longer maybe, but I
think she will find it successful.
I always use this method, and my
sweaters look like new.
