Returning veterans who contem-

to consult the local county agricul-
tural agent and the county land
use map before signing on the dot
ted line. This advice comes from the
agricultural committee of the Mich
igan state planning commission, as
result of rising price initiation of
Michigan farm lands.
Quoting the financial editor of
the New York Times: The threat
of initiation is greater at the pres
ent moment, on every possible evil
dence, than it has ever been since
the Civil war"
Bank Commissioner Nelson points
to these encouraging signs: Many
people still remember the Michigan
bank holiday recall the long
depression with bread lines and
hard times and are going to
pay off their debts now, hold on
to war bonds and bank deposits la
ter. While some people may squan-
der money foolishly. they're in a
minority, as Nelson sees it.

commission last week, following At
torney General John Dethmer's
sensational disclosures of malad-
miniStration, brings up the author
ity of the governor over appointive

correction commission gives the
governor specific power to suspend

lished on hearing" General statu-
tory rights clothe the governor with
power to suspend any state officer

GiSt of the Jackson showdown is
this: If the corrections commission

New Overland Route Enables Entry Of American
Supplies Into China In Blockade Against Japs

Completion of the Stilwen road
early this year and the entry of
American supplies into China over
the new overland route after a
three-year blockade by the JapS,
was heralded in the United States.
But most of the people back home
who were justly proud of this enor-
nous achievement by Americans In
the jungleS of Assam and Burma
are only vaguely acquainted with
the tremendous task OF maintain
ing it. That's the JOB the Army is
doing in the jungle today and will
continue to do as long as America
continues to send supplies TO China
over the 1O8O-mile highway.
The Stillwell Road, built on a
variety Of foundations, twists its
way through hills and low jungle
country where natural drainage is
poor MeticlouS surveying, testing of
soil and the application Of other
sound engineering principles would
obviously have produced an even
better road, but there was a tough
war on and the utmost speed con-
Sistent with practicability and reaS-
enable safety was essential. Such a
situation often resulted in what the
men on the road call "eye engin-
eering," but it produced a road
that worked.
Engineer troops and other units
now assigned to road maintenance
are today going over the road and
doing the things they would have
liked to have done year ago when
they were battling with time. Eye
engineering" is out as the Ameri-
cans watch the steady stream OF
military conveys roll on to China
and as they constantly make the
road safer for more traffic.
The road gets a terrific pounding
from the heavy military traffic. It's
necessary to regravel sections of
it twice a week. To avoid interior
ing with regular traffic, the engin-
GERS send out two motor patrols, each
taking half the road and going in
the same direction as regular con-
voys and other vehicles. When it's
unusually dry water-sprinkler
truck precedes the gravel-carriers.
During extremely wet weather, the
engineers go over the road with
drags made of timber and old grad
er blades.
Other maintenance work includes
extending the many short culverts
used during the first construction
and widening the shoulder revet-
mentS. Guard rails are placed at
these culverts and reflectors from
salvaged vehicles on the end posts
warn approaching traffic. Bridge
signs and culvert signs are replaced
frequently and kept clean and read
able. Many of the original hewn
timber bridges built by Chinese
engineers are being replaced with
piledriven bridges built Of timber
from the saw mills. Other bridges
especially where drainage Is not

II you still persist in the fable
that We don't have initiation, pom
der this:
Michigan state banks are bullying
with money. Savings deposits of in
dividuals have scared during the
past four years, June 80, 194l to
June 30, 1945, from S448 to 81 ,O29
million dollars. Total deposits are
now 2,l03 millions, of which 1888
millions are invested in government
bonds and 426 million are in cash
due from other banks and reserves
from federal reserve banks.
These figures, dry as they seem,
and vouched for officially by Will
liam Nelson, state banking commits
Sioner at Lansing, attest to the de-
gree of initiation which exists in
Michigan today.
Add to this the many millions of
war bonds, purchased and held by
Michigan citizens, and you get a
fairly good idea of the tremendous
accumulation of buying power
which could burst like a tidal wave
upon Michigan retailers after VI
Day. 1t indicates the seriousness of
the present threat of MORE infla-
ton, and it poses a problem to all
thinking Americans who don't want
to see their investments depreci-
ated, and possibly wiped out, by
sky-high prices.
I'm the average agricultural state,
such as Iowa and Nebraska, the
wartime increase in individual saw
ings deposits has been moderate, :"
said Mr.. Nelson.
"Michigan's concentration of war
industry accounts in part for Mich
igan'S savings boom. 1 do believe
that Michigan farmers, mindful of
the recent depression are more
cash-minded than farmers in other
states. Our rural banks show sub
stantial increases in savings. Farm
ers are thrifty"
Nelson pointed to a Babson earn
ings index. national in scope, which
showed 58.1 for the low level of
1888; 1859 for the 1929 boom peak !;
and. as of January /, 1945, the rec
ord-breaking high of 1884. Citing
statistics of Michigan bank depo-
sits compiled by his department,
Nelson said. "Michigans initiation
airy trend has been practically con-
tinuous since Pearl Harbor."
Other initiation signs, from reli-
able sources:
Nationally, the seventh war loan
quota of STA billions was topped by
$l2 billions, a total of more than
s26 billions. E bond sales came
within $40 of one per cent of the
81 billion goal.
Americans have increased their
individual assets about SOS billions
since the END Of 1899 They hold
three times as much cash as at the
end Of 1889. In addition, individual
holdings Of government bonds have
increased $35 billions.

and unincorporated, have increased

indictments are yet to be made.
A greater postwar demand for
dentists than for medical doctors
is predicted by DR.. Russell W. Bunt-
ing, dean of the University of Mich
igan dental school. Reason: Public's
new awareneSs of Importance of
good teeth. Too many young men
were rejected for military service
because Of poor dentureS.
Michigan has contributed more
than 1900 doctors of medicine to the
armed forces, announces the Mich
igan State Medical society. :.
AS of April l the Michigan Medical
Service, cooperative insurance agen-
cy, had paid s10,514,359 to doctors
for services performed to citizen
subscribers. This private medical
service is financed by 777,l04 Mich
igan residents.
Public schools of Michigan will
get more than 100 per cent in
creased state aid during the new
fiscal year. The legislature raised
this from $50 to s568 millions, and
added $3.2 millions for the teach
er retirement fund.
New Laws: Teaching of the gen.
eral history of the United States
and of Michigan will be required.
Schools may provide noon lunches
and assess charges for them. Auto
mobile drivers must bring their cars
to a full stop ten feet behind a
school bus loading or unloading pu-
pills.

ton of corn, oats and grain sor-
ghums is now indicated TO be the
