Washington
BY HARRY H. SCHLACHT

"A God blessed America when George Washington
born.
Today we commemorate his 213th birthday.
He led the ragged legion to triumph the armies
of king.
He was the first president of the constitutional con-
vention.
He was the first president of the United States.
He the uncompromsing enemy of despotism
He the eternal foe of bigotry.
He was the everlasting champion of the sovereignty
He was the greatest of good men and the best of
great men.
He gave the world life emblazoned with the
splendent jewels of honor and patriotism
To remember Washington is to rejoice in freedom
THE telescope of time, it sweeps the historical
i horizon reveals great stars whose magnitude is un-
abatng through the years
Among the greatest is the name of Washington
His patriotism pure the sunlight
He stood like mountain In the storm.
He towers in the history of free government like the
lofty monument in the capitol which bears his
He became the benefactor of the ages and bathed his
name with immortality.
It was Abraham Lincoln who declared: in solemn
awe pronounce his name and its naked deahess splen
dor leave it shining on"
T1OR centuries men have prayed for liberty.
l. It has been the roseate dream of generations.
Our gallant forbears hated oppression.
They planted the seeds of freedom in our national
soil.
They preferred death to shaches.
They loved independence and were determined TO
achieve it.
The visions of new and mighty nation where free
men and would live peace marched with that
tattered band from the first angry shrek of at
Bunker Hill through the privaton and suffering at Val

TO THE EDITOR

TO THE EDITOR:
I AM a taxpayer. employed
L and do not have time 70 in
dulse IN letter writing Of the
"crank" variety, but your edi-
torlal: What Is Wrong With
the DSR?" has been OF vital
importance 10 me long before
the war. and I earnestly hope
your efforts Will STIR some one
with authority 10 action. Those
responsible for the existing
conditions should be obliged 10
use the same DSR service, IN
definitely. for every occasion,
that apparently Is good enough
for John Q. Public
II is too convenient al this
time 10 rest on the excuse,
Don't you know there's war
going on" It's repeated use,
psychologically, IS 10 keep every
one war conscious, but Il IS def
inltely out of line TO take ad-
vantage of this reason. Service
is sacrificed for schedules. Mo-
tormen fail TO stop upon request
because they are behind sched-
ule. Checkers are necessary, but
il would seem that having them
stationed at each end Of the run
with several in between IS GER
tainly a waste of manpower.
Between the hours Of 10 s,
most lines admit passengers
leaving downtown before those
arriving downtown reach their
destination. The result IS chaotic
NOT to mention the damage
10 clothing. Instead Of admit
ting passengers on the Grand
River line. for instance, as far
back as Cass and Bagley, leaV-
ing downtown. Why not deny
outgoing passengers adnlttance
until the car arrives at the
protected safety zone shed on
Grlswold street and give every
one a chance. It IS hard TO IN
derstand why that practice was
abandoned. Passengers arriving
downtown on the Gratiot ana
Mack lines. as examples, are
able to leave the car al City
Hall. without being mobbed as
outgoing passengers are required
10 wait their turn N line az the
protected safety zone shed on
Cadillac Square. II isn't pleas
ant waiting IN al kinds OF
weather but II gives every one
4 chance, therefore I'm for Il.
The same thing applies to pracH
ticAlly all lines.
When cars arrived at a cer-
\taln point downtown at ore
fine. il was everybody out
end of the line" Now there is
no end Of the line 1t is Just
one VICIOUS circle. On some other
lines. il Is necessary TO walk
blocks beyond the one tlme ad-
rlIttance polnt, IN order 10 get
even standing room.
I am well aware that prob
ABLY the points mentioned herein
are not new but they are beng
gwen with the thought ,n.rlnd
that Il enough facts are brought
10 the attention Of the proper
authorities. eventually some et-
fort 10 correct them will be
made. -.

TO THE EDITOR

TO THE EDITOR
I HAVE been reading your
Il articles on the DSR trans
portation problem.
May newcomer 70 your
great city say a few words on
this SUBJECT?
Don't blame YOUR notorr1en
and conductors. Blame your bus
and streetcar riders There are
those people who seem 70 feel
they are the only ones who
want or have 70 catch a car
After tramphng mothers with
small children. they manage 70
get on the streetcar or bus
Then they are so afraid that
they won't he able 10 get off
iust when they want 10 that
they lam the doorway ard aisle
thereby keeping those who
would 20 70 the back from get
ting there
They force them 20 push
shove and work their WaY
through the best they can amid
dirty looks.
I also feel that II the Detroit
police would ban all drivers Of
cars from the streetcar tracks,
the streetcars could make their
runs faster and there would be
far fever accidsnts I have seen
fve or six such accidents IN the
paper IN as many nights or less
Saturday I stood IN a zt'ne and
counted the cars that used the
streetcar tracks for a thorough
fare. There were about 80 in
i've minutes.

are thoughtless. selfish and
stupid. A NEWCOMER.

THERE IS ore.t I hing very
l. wrong with the CITY Of De-
