The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1945-09-20

Hlida

Freckles soon became one OF
Americas best known comic
characters. Thirty years after
its initial appearance as a comic
strip, "Freckles and His Friends"
reaches an audience of 60,000,-
600 readers and is one of the
notable features in The Monitor
Leader. Today the $50 daily and
1873 Sunday newspapers in which
it appears are united in congratll-
lating Merrill Blosser as he cell
ebrates the 30th anniversary OF
his popular comic.
A TESTIMONIAL DINNER
Blosser, who lives in Arcadia,
Calf, is guest of honor at a
testimonial dinner in Los Ange-
les attended by personal friends,
executives of the Los Angeles
News and movie and radio stars.
The man who has given the
world 30 years of good, clean
fun took the long way around
to get into the comic art bust
ness. He drew the intricate parts
of a motorcycle for cycling
magazine, did chalk plate car
toons for a newspaper, and drew
sports cartoons before his first
comics appeared.
Merrill Blosser was born In
Nappanee, Ind, on May %, 1892.
In his early school days he de-
velcped a fondness for drawing.
His family encouraged him and
he took lessons. Unfortunately,
however. it was the first public
exhibition of his talents--a series
of caricatures of the Nappanee
high school faculty-that result
ed in his being expelled. This
failed to depress him and he
shortly won a drawing contest,
and with it trip to Washington.
With several other prize winners,
he was taken to the White House
to shake the hand of President
Theodore Roosevelt.
BULLY" SAID PRESIDENT
While the others passed on,
Merrill Jagged behind and made
a sketch of the president. Roose-
welt eyed it and doomed. Bull
ly!" Then he kept Blosser with
him for half the day and advised
him to stick to drawing.
After a year at Blue Ridge
College, in Union Bridge, Md,
Blosser sold . cartoon to the
Baltimore American and prompt
ly quit school. Following brief
periods with the Wheeling (W.
Va.) Register and Cleveland
Plain Dealer, where he was
sports cartoonist, he joined NEA
Service in May, 1918.
His first contributions were
comic cartoons based on the
news. Then in rapid succession
came five different comic panels,
one of which developed into
"Freckles and His Friends.
One by one the others were
dropped.
However, In July, 1915, he
started drawing another strip
called Miniature Movies" Later
this was changed to Chestnut
Charlie" which was continued
until early 1918.
SUNDAY PAGE STARTED
From then on Blosser devoted
all of his time to the "Freckles
and His Friends" daily strip un-
til Dec. 81, 1893, when his Sum-
day page of the same name, made
its first appearance.
Two months after the first
"Freckles and His Friends" strip
appeared in newspapers, Merrill
was married. For years the Bio
sers lived in Cleveland, main
office of NEA. Then they moved
to California, first to Los Ange-
les. then to Arcadia, a suburb.
where Blosser had a beautiful
home built to his own ideas. He
has his own studio there and

Way back in May of 1918,
Merrill Blosser, % year OLD
hopeful artist who had been
kicked out of high school for
drawing funny pictures of the
faculty and had been encouraged
by a president of the United
States to stick to the art game,
landed a job with NEA Service,
Inc. (The Newspaper Enterprise
Association), then in Chicago
Three months later he Was
turning out five daily comics.
One of them was a one-colunn

likes to raise flowers and vege-
tables but doesn't like to NOW
lawns. SO he planted his front
yard in variegated ivy instead of
grass. 1t worked out fine.
COLLECTION OF PAINTINGS
He is youthful, friendly and
enthusiastic. He likes the out
doors, loves football games, long
automobile rides, and kids. He
admires good art work and is a
collector of fine paintings.
Very few comic strips that
started back in 1915 are around
today. The competition has be-
come steadily tougher and pub
lie taste has changed too fast and
too often for most of them to
keep up. But "Freckles and His
Friends" after 80 years is not
only going strong but is far more
popular today than at any time
in its history. Merrill Blosser
and Freckles have kept up with
the times.

GETTING THEM HOME

Unlimited hope and a vast deal of guessing have been in
dulged in with reference to how rapidly the army will bring
home to their loved ones the millions who have served overseas
in two great wars, which were essentially one. For the first
time the veterans themselves, as well as their relatives and
friends, have figures they can depend upon says the Independ-
ent-Record Herald.
Lieut.. Gen. Brehon Somervel, commanding general of the
army service forces. gives assurance that between now and
June 30-a period of 10 months-2,5O0,00 men will be return
ed to the United States from Europe and 100000 from the
Pacific and Far East.
"Our objective" declares General SomerveH, sis speed.
To these words tens of millions of Americans, in the army and
out, will echo a hearty "Amen!"
By General SomerveIs figures there will remain after
June 30 approximately 100000 troops in Europe, a relatively
large number, since there is joint occupation of Germany by
four nations. The 100000 American troops who will remain
ir the Pacific and the Far East will be supplemented by new
troops going out as occupation requirements while the 10000
are being brought home.
Americans are glad that any thought of keeping men in
the army abroad until they could be sure of employment on
their return has not been entertained by those in authority.
These men have done a job-it is perhaps the biggest one they
will ever be called up to do. Some have been on foreign soil
for years. They are entitled to come home as fast as task is
completed and ships can bring them.

Fish Kept Norway
Alive for 5 Years
Still the Mainstay of Average
Norwegian Family.

OSLO, NORWAY.-Sigvald Linde
mann's family rarely ate fish before
the war. Today, the four Linde
MAINS eat little else. If they hadn'r
learned to like fish they probably
would have starved long before the
Germans left Oslo.
Fish kept Norway alive through
the five years of German occupation
and it's still the mainstay of the
average Norwegian family. But AL
lied merchantmen are unloading at
the Oslo docks now, and the Linde-
MAINS can hope for an occasional
piece of meat to supplement their
fish dinners.
The Lindemanns in Oslo are a
typical Norwegian middle class
family.
They pay the equivalent of $50 a
month for a centrally heated apart
ment equipped with electric stove
and refrigerator. Mrs. Lindemann,
slender, blond and fortyish, boasts
that Oslo's housing is the most mod
ern in Europe.
Mrs. Lindemann constantly apol-
ogizes for the threadbare condition
of her furniture, which she hasn't
been able to repair or replace for
five years. And the Germans took
away their radio and the family a
long ago.
Mr.. Lindemann might be called d
Norwegian white collar
worker. He earns $3.50 a month as
assistant manger of a paper and
stationery store.
Twelve year old Johan may have
small glass of skinned milk. Only
babies get whole milk. Then at
eight o'clock, the family has a small
of bread, margarine, cold
fish and perhaps a slice of Danish
The Lindemanns will keep on get
ing along on their fish diet, plus
some small imports of meat, for an
,ther year, but they're not complain
ng.
