ton representing the finest play
ers of the Monroe Recreation

reported to be coming to Toledo
loaded" to avenge their defeat
of last Saturday, at the hands of
the Local IL All-Stars.

Local IL All-Stars to give them
more practice for the North
western Ohio District tourna-
ment to be held here starting Au-
gust 16. They will include j. D.
Powell and Teeny Brown, pitch

The first game of the evening,
and one of the attractions, will
be the game between the Fish

IN the Local IL Girls Soft
ball League. They are hav-
ing regular workouts Under
the guidance of Frank Puskas
and Bill Limerick, co-managers.
of Local IL softball leagues.
There are many candidates for
the girls team and it is expected
that they will have a strong
representative outfit when they
take the field against the worlds
champions. In several of the
positions, the All-Stars are ex-
ceptionally well-fortified and
will make good showing
against the champions, according
to the co-managers.
The Lind and Pomeroy girls
won the worlds championship
last year at the Lakewood Elks
stadium, in Lakewood, Ohio,
after defeating two of the most
powerful teams in the United
States. The Lind and Pomeroy
girls were unknown in National
competition, but defeated the
highly favored Stanford Nut
megs and the Phoenix (Arizona !
Ramblers, former champions. 4
In the final game, the Lind
and Pomeroy pitcher twirled
no-hitter and the girls from
Portland won after IL innings.
The champions have a fine
pitching staff and will come here
with the hope of preserving
their record of nn-hit games.

Large Skeleton

resting in a swamp near Plain

state geologists.

declares that bones already ex-

the skeleton has been buried for
$4,000 years, more or less, are
scarcely changed.

Hobby Club
TO Meet at
USO Friday

First meeting Of the Mount
Clemens Hobby Club in its new
workshop and discussion room
at the Broadway USO has been
called for 4 pm, Friday and
will conclude at $50 pm, ii
was announced today by Nick
Carpenter, president.
Entrance to the workshop Is
on the east side of the building,
towards the Plaza Bathhouse, at
the end of the driveway on the
far side of the building. The &C
commodations have been provid-
ed through courtesy of Arthur
Murray, USO director, and the
National Catholic Community
Service.
Although number of tools
and materials have been &C
quired by the hobby workers. an
urgent need exists for a quarter
horsepower motor to pow r
their jig-saw; wood wise and
one or more work benches, and
any woodworking tools not at
present in use.
All boys between the ages OF
10 and 16 are eligible to become
members of the club, but must
qualify by first presenting a
model they have made them
selves. Originally Boosting a
membership of 35 boys, the
clubs list has now swelled TO
about 100 which poses a real
problem of accommodations.
Woodworking and h o b b y
classes may have to be conduct
ed on a Monday to Friday basis,
with the membership divided
into age and experience groups.
Parents, particularly fathers,
are invited to sit in with the
boys at any work session or
meeting.
Donations acknowledged by
the Hobby Club to date include
the following; Gillett Refrigera-
ton, a jig-saw; Paganetti Lum-

the existing emotions, the pres

He emphasized that the pow
ers of the u. S. delegate to the
World Security Council should
be defined by Congress-; that,
while there need be little wor-
ry about our representative US
ing our military forces for mi
nor police incidents, yet the
Congress should never part with
its powers to declare war;"
In the final analysis, he said,
"the plain fact is that the max
ing of political and economic
peace settlements between the
United Nations and with the
enemy states, and the preserva-
tipn of lasting peace, still rest
upon the successful collabora-
ton of the three centers of pow

much to be desired"
AS he surveyed the road to
enduring peace, Mr.. Hoover re-
marked: I'm any event, for Is
years after the victory over ia
pan, all of the nations of the
world will be absorbed in re-
storing their internal economy
and in re-establishing their
standards Of living. During this
period the world should be able
to work out the problems OF

To achieve peace, he said,
relations between nations and
men must be founded upon posi-
lively agreed politial, moral

An EnviabIe Record

American electric power production successfully met the peak demand result ing from Americas war effort, and in the year 1944 it once more set an all-time record As in previous years, full service was maintained to all customers, mill tary and civilian. Eighty per cent of this huge power output was produced by in- vestor- owned private electric companies, serving the great mining and manufac- turing centers of America Household use of electricity made the usual gain, Tn spite of the almost complete stoppage of the manufacture of appliances and Of restrictions on connecting new cuS- toners.
 This is striking proof of the increasing appreciation of the value of electric ap- pliances in period of vanishing servants and other services. Because of reStrlc- tionS in the use of materials, conStruc- ton expenditures were the lowest in ten years, and due largely to increased costs of operation, the net income available TOT stockholders was seven and One-halt per cent below the pre-War year of 1859.
 Unequal tax treatment by the Federal government of private power companies, as compared with gOvernment-oWned power plants, is the most serious prob lem confronting the private electric in- dustry. Twenty per cent of the nations total power production, which the gov ernment owns, rides free of the Federal tax burden, while the other 80 per cent which is privately owned and serves the bulk of the nations power requirements, pays government 16 cents out of every dollar of gross revenue.
 In the face of this tax loss to govern ment, Congress is being urged by pro- ponents of government ownership of in dustry to extend it's program of Federal ownership of power in many parts of the country Instead of sanctioning new ways to spend billions of dollars of the taxpayers money, Congress should exert itself to encourage the expansion of tax paying private enterprise and eliminate every Federal appropriation not abso- lutely essential to the basic requirements of government and the conduct of the war.
