stressing this sales talk when
selling fish to merchants.
But (and definitely Kier-
blewski cannot agree with sell
ing dressed and headless pike
for So cents a pound, because
they are described as lake trout.
For weeks Kierblewski has
been searching for the patriot
ic salesman" whose trout" were
sold at a number of Macomb
County stores at fancy prices.
Few customers knew they were
not eating trout and some Of
the merchants never knew they
had been swindled until the in.
spector explained that pike

have similar texture to trout
and a flavor which approaches
the appeal of the fancier fish.
Late Wednesday State Police
of Romeo Post arrested a 80
year-old Detroiter, Frank Nc
Nabney, of 2844 Mayberry
Grand, Detroit, using a car Ii
cense number furnished by Kier-
blewski. A short time before he
had sold a quantity of trout"
to a Lakeville grocer, west of
Romeo, after the usual "patrio-
tic sales talk. The price per
pound was So cents, State Police
assert.
Arraigned before justice in
Rochester, on warrant charg-
ing obtaining money under false
pretenses, McNabney denied his
guilt. He said that he had pur-
chased the fish as trout and be-
fievcd they were such.
KierbleWski, with faith in his
complaint, believes that Ma
comb County gourmets will
find their trout much tastier
now.

CITES LONG SERVICE
Kelly referred to the school
boards record of service and
stated, I'VE feel we have had
fairly good school board and a
continuing body" He explained
that he himself had been in Of
flee for p years; that Harry 5.
Donaldson has been a member
for 80 years and his father, A. T,
Donaldson, for whom Donaldson
school was named, for 33 years,
making a total of 63 years of
service for the Donaldson fam
lily Paul w. Schanhcr has been
az member of the school board
for "A years, Kelly said; Roland
E. Nank for more than Is
years, and Lawrence +. Schott
for - years. He also disclosed
the fact that the school board
approached Schott in 1882, when
a resignation on the board was
imminent, asking him to run as
candidate for the board and
giving him the full support OF
the members.
None of the present mem
bers would care 10 run for office
if there was nomination by petit
ton, according 10 Kelly.
Kelly traced the history of the
school board elections for the
past 40 years He said that in
early days there were two fac
tions in the city, headed by rival
banking organizations, who at
tempted 10 control membership
on the school board.
POINTS TO CHANGES
Forty years ago only the peo-
pie who were at school board an
nual meetings were allowed to
vote" Kelly said. In that man
ner it was possible for small fac
tons to get their candidate
elected
The election of Miss Helena
Marquardt to the school board
was engineered in that fashion,
Kelly said. A group of women
had decided that they should
have woman representative on
the school board and thus they
gathered large enough group
at the annual school election to
elect her. Kelly admitted that
the old system for naming school
board members was bad, and
that it was changed about 10
years ago at the instigation of
the League of Women Voters.
AT that time definite voting
hours were established and vot-
ing was done by printed ballot
after nominations had been made
from the floor. This replaced the
writing of names on slip of
paper and dropping them in a
hat, he explained.
NO CHANGE DESIRED
I'VE have no desire to change
from the system as it is now"
Kelly stated. ANY man can an
nounce in the newspapers ahead

QUALIFIED FOR CHANGE

Kelly pointed out that Mount
Clemens is in graded school
district and is operating under
the old school law. He admitted
that the City is qualified by pop
ulation to be classified as third
class district, and if it were, it
would be required by law to
have nomination by petition, poll
books with registered school
electors, and established voting
places. The school board unani-
mously is opposed TO changing
TO third class district, he said
1t was brought out that there is
no registration Of voters; voters
simply sign a white card stating
their voting qualifications,
whether they are parents Of
school children or taxpayers, and
there is no check up.
1T would be possible for the
school board to pass a resolution
making possible nomination by
petition without reclaSsifying the
school district" Kelly said,
Otherwise, We could not adopt
the proposed measure unless ap-
proved by general school cleo
ton. We like things the way
they are, and do not want a
change
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1945-01-11

of time his Candidacy for the
school board and we on the
school board generally know the
opposition we are up against"
However, he said, at the 1914
school election a group of vot-
ers nearly succeeded in jamming
through a last minute candidate,
everything having been kept Sc
cret until nominations were ask
ed from the floor.
Donaldson and Kelly were
running for reelection at that
time. Kelly told the League
meeting, Naturally / didn't
want to be beaten, so l made
three telephone calls and friends
got TO work and called many
others TO go vote while / offici-
ated at the election. Schanher
left to do his phoning down at
the store. Harry Donaldson
called the janitors at the school
and a grocer who does business
with the school, and in an hour
and a half we pulled in 200
votes.
