Lions Club Speaker
Painted Pessimistic
Picture Recently

Louis A. Komjathy, well-known
Detroit attorney and student of
European history, painted a pessi-
mistic picture in his talk Peace
Prospects for Europe" before the
Wyandotte Lions Club on January
81. He pointed out that Germany
and Japan have a relatively clean
overall record In provoking wars
and that their unconditional sur
render and subjugation will not
guarantee a lasting peace. He went
on to explain that Europe has been
at war during nearly every genera
ton of the last thousand years and
that 1t is too much to expect a
peace treaty to be anything more
than scrap Of paper. 1t was Mr..
Komjathy's opinion that the hope
Of mankind Is in the promotion of
understanding and tolerance of
other peoples, their creeds and
their way of living through their one
common bond-religion.
The speaker for February 7 is
Walter M. Scott. His subject will
be Apple Orchards with Notes on
Victory Gardens"

Father DOherty
Backs Generals
Plea for WACs

In his letter to the governors Of
the 48 states asking for local aid,
General Marshall, Chief of Staff,
said: THE are of the increasing
numbers of casualties returning to
the United States together with the
acute shortage In nurses and hospi-
tai personnel generally, necessitates
urgent measures being taken to re-
cruit and rapidly train women for
service in Army hospitals. We ur-
gently need WAC units for our so
general hospitals"
In conjunction with this appeal
of General Marshall, Father Doher-
ty Of st. Patrick's today voiced his
appreciation of women in service.
He said 1.-THE humane work that the
War Department Is asking women to
do for the thousands of wounded
returning to this country at the rate
Of 10000 month is job that all
eligible Catholic women should be
proud to volunteer for. The ma
ternal instinct inherent in all wom-
en- is the quality necessary for this
wonderful work"

1naSmuch as it is the most severe
winter Russia has experienced in the
past IS years, the need is urgent
and immediate. Not one civilian
garment has been manufactured in
the past three years and eight
months. Therefore children of that
age have never had a new gar
ment. Warm and clean clothing is
needed. They must be in perfect
condition since there are no mend
ing materials present In Russia to-
day. Shipping is now allocated and
delivery is promised within Is days.

in Philippines
Death took a holiday

OCdCu IOOh 1lO1ACdy!
Especially in the case of Sergeant
Alvin Schrecke who Is stationed In
the Philippines, where he had a
close call the night before Christ
mas Eve.
Sergeant Schrecke wrote home
and told how he was in his
tent when suddenly the alarms be-
gan to sound out. Without a split
second the JapS were upon them
and Sergeant Schrecke was forced to
leave his tent for safety when sud-
denly he noticed a Jap plane di-
rectly over his tent and about 40
feet off the ground. He made a
dive for his foxhole which was only
about 10 feet away and lay there
as the Japs opened fire upon them.
Before no time at all, two P-38's
took to the air and the result was
that the Jap plane crashed to the
ground. All this happening In only
a few minutes after the alarm had
been sounded.
Sergeant Schrecke sent home a
piece Of the Jap planes tail for a
souvenir and saying, Maybe it

"All right" you say. "Our war
plants aren't making tanks or
rockets or trucks. What can I do
about it?"
That's where the average reader
may be mistaken. The big war
plants depend on hundreds of sub
contractors for vitality needed parts.
And hundreds of these sub-contrac-
tors are located in small cities and
towns throughout Michigan. Don't
be so positive that the "other war
plant" Is In Detroit, Flint, Pontiac
or Jackson-just to mention a few
of the leading industrial centers. A
critical bottleneck may develop right

HoOdlums Cause
Near Flood in
Theatre Here
Tear Plumbing From
Walls of Lounge

Wyandotte youths, nell-bent for
destruction, are continuing their
rampage of vandalism In the Wy
andotte theatre. Last terror act
was a near-flood in the theatre
Sunday night when several boys
tore the plumbing from the walls of
the lounge causing considerable
damage.
George Bremen, in an appeal for
assistance in curbing the riotous
acts, stated today that the last deed
Of pillage did actually endanger the
lives Of the theatre-going patrons.
Had the flood Of water not been
noticed in time" said Bremen, cit
might have reached q sufficient
depth to cause a weakening of the
walls and ceiling of the theatre.
Fortunately a theatre employee saw
the water surging from the lounge
and the main valve of the water
system was turned off in time to
prevent major catastrophe.
Practically each night for the
past several months Bremen has
discovered acts of vandalism and
destruction in the theatre. In q
statement to the News Herald he
said 1t appeared that most Of the
damage was done by boys OF high
school age. He asked that an ap-
peal be addressed to all parents
urging their assistance in preventing
a major theatre problem.
