Commission MEETING
Act at Elbows Of
Municipal Fathers

Taking their seats beside the
senior" City Commission, "city
officials" of the Junior Civic
League last night helped con-
duct the city's legal business.
Their project was a continual
ton of the adventure in civics
which they enjoy ed last
Wednesday playing the roles of
city officials and department
heads.
They assumed one new pro-
ject on suggestion of Mayor
Donald r. Westendorf. He turn
ed over 10 them for study a let
ter received by the commission
urging establishment of a youth
center here. At present high
school pupils are permitted use
Of the Broadway USO building
one night per week.
The civics students last night
derived considerable experience
from lengthy discussion by
city officials of the plan to clear
downtown buildings of accumu-
lated wastepaper for the elimi-
nation of fire hazards.

Wednesday noon on schedule
and unchanged.
An attorney generals opinion
issued yesterday held, in effect,
that no city may set its clocks
different from the rest of the
state by a local ordinance unless
its charter gives it that power.
The opinion was asked by the
State Affairs Committee after
the Detroit Common Council
adopted a resolution asserting 1t
would remain on Eastern War
QasD time no matter what
course the legislature took.
Passage of the bill to place the
state on Central War (slow)
time was expected TO embarrass
Governor Kelly.
Two years ago he engineered
a compromise which permitted
municipalities to have fast time
if they wanted to on the grounds
it was necessary to efficient mu-
nitions production. AT that time
he argued emphatically against
taking any step which might be
construed as harmful to indus
trial production.
In the House, the Democratic
minority announced il had mus
tered enough votes to block
adoption to joint resolution
propo ng constitutional
amendment to divide the city Of
Detroit into representative dis
tricts.
Repu leans wanted the
amendment because they consid-
er it would result certainly in
election of some Republican rep
resentatives, instead of the GUS
tomary solidly Democratic De-
troit delegations to the House,
which represent the city at large
instead of smaller districts.
The Republicans control only
SO House votes, one short of the
two thirds majority needed TO
propose a constitutional amend
ment, and Rep. Joseph F. Nagel,
of Detroit, the minority floor
leader, said the "a Democrats
agreed in caucus to vote solidly
against the proposal.

father of four children, who
lives at 2844 Mayberry Grand,
Detroit. He was arrested by
State Police recently on informa-
ton furnished by Cass Kierblew-
ski, district food inspector for
the state who traced the sale of
Jacks" tdressed pike through
out this area.
Shortly before going to court
in charge Of Chief Assistant
Prosecutor Fred Van Fleteren,
McNabney hastily called an i'm
promptu creditors meeting in
the County Building corridors
and pacified five potential COM
plaintants with a $3.50 payoff.
They were waiting to see Van
Fleteren for warrants.
McNabney then offered TO pay
off Al Korte, Harper-Ten Mile
grocer, of St. Clair Shores,
whose complaint had become a
warrant before Justice jean
nette.
At this stage, Van Fleteren
halted the pay off proceedings
and insisted on McNabney fac
ing Jeanette.
The trout" salesman ex-
planned TO the court that he had
squared accounts with five mer-
chants and was willing TO add
$72 for Korte, and then went
into q long dissertation Of the
purity Of his motives. He ex-
planned that up Canada-way
pike and trout are closer than
brothers and he had no larceny
in his heart when he switched
them-at 100 per cent profit to
himself. (The pike cost him 20
to 80 cents a pound and sold for
81 cents as 'trout.")
Justice Jeanette ! list en- e d
with great sympathy to the story.
and accepted McNabney's ex-
PLANTATION. Just to give McNab-
ney something to remember him
by. Jeanette added:
For swindling m er C h a n S
you'll have to pay fine of 500
and costs"
Doing a bit of quick figuring,
including the 500 an Oakland
County justice soaked him, Nc
Nabney learned that the differ
ence between trout and pike is
exactly SAIL.

court had informed Cairns one
week ago that it was not inn
pressed with his explanation OF
how he happened to have S120
in his possession at the time of
his arrest by Under-Sheriff
Thomas Kaltenbach on Aug. %;
just "a hours after the Macomb
county tavern in which he was
employed as a porter had been
looted of 10 cases of whiskey
and a pistol.

The unusual test was resortcd
to, upon approval of Paul S.
Hirt, defense counsel. The prev

court, he had been stony broke
but claimed TO have borrowed
$40, paid off Sl2 in obligations,
and to have then run the re-
naming So up to S165 at the
Club Hopper Kettle Annex. He
said the $40 found in his pos
session was the residue of his
winnings after he had INDUCED

CHANGE THEFT
Chief Assistant Prosecutor
Fred Van Fleteren, however,
had insisted that the money act
ually was derived from the sale
of 10 cases of assorted liquors
and pistol which, the state
charges, Cairns had stolen from
Beuschleih's tavern in Harrison
township where he had been
employed for several weeks as
porter.
The liquor and pistol have
not been recovered.
Under Sheriff Kalten b a C h
said that Cairns record included
a seven and one-half year pris-
on term in Oklahoma for rob-
berry armed, a 90-day jail sem
tence for assault and battery in
Detroit and a three and one-half
year term growing out of a hi
lacking charge in Garfield coun-
ty, Oklahoma, as well as a long
list of arrests in Wichita, Kans.,

hazards TO minimum. He
stressed the necessity for a per-
manent building inspection sys-
tenn after the initial enthusiasm
has subsidized.
While pointing out that no
criticism of the Cady-McCoy fire
is applicable, Titus referred to
the present as the psychological
time" for thorough cleanup,
while businessmen are alert to
fire dangers.
City officials heartily endorsed
the cleanup plan and pledged ev-
cry facility of the Street Depart
ment.
Although some block by block
system may be devised later, the
initial stages of the plan will
merely call for merchants to
place their waste in neat piles at
the curbs. City trucks will do
the rest. The drive starts Mon
day and every business estab-
lishment will be inspected in
two weeks.
Commissioner Edward j. Du-
bay, volunteer fire captain and
a fire-fighter since 1908, added
fuel to the campaign in a spirited
talk. He stressed the problems
of firemen in reaching the seat
of fire in a building crammed
with rubbish, and also in making
their way through crowded
basement to fight fire or turn
off utilities.
Thomas, speaking for mer-
chants generally, said most bust
nessmen would comply gladly il

that this was usually filled to

OUR COUNTRIES NEEDS RY Mrs. Dnnald I. Post


 This is a rather different appeal for volunteer aid and it will have to be written in a more serious vein. Not that any help of any kind in the agencies is a jocular subject-far from it-but the topic for today is one of our nations MOST serious problems.
 And that is the salvagirg of paper. In the fall of 1943, critical short age of paper developed, not only in Waterbury, but all over the United States. Perhaps 1t was due to lack of knowledge of the uses that waste paper can do toward the war effort or perhaps 1t was lack of time and interest.
 The school children have done a marvellous job in collecting, but they can carry only small bundle from home to school. The street depart ment has done its share in the curb collections, but unfortunately, the weather was not always on their side.
 ' Now, it is absolutely essential that we gather together all the paper available in our homes and offices. There is an eminent danger of sortage of paper! Let me tell you what the War Production Board states: Flight million tons of waste paper will be needed this year to keep mills in full production. This means 667,000 tons must be collected every month That's a pretty tall order, isn't it? And this cannot be accomplished unless YOU VOLUN- TIER to do VOLUNTEER JOB in your home and dig out that waste

paper, tie it in bundles, and have it ready on the sidewalks on Sunday, March 9 for the collection trucks.
 Do you know that a stack of newspapers as high as a broom handle will weigh about 100 pounds?
 Do you know that that quantity Of waste paper will make: 20 protective bands for 250-fb bombs
 100 fine locknut protectors for bombs
 50 cases for 75mm. shells 1105 cartons each containing fifteen
 50 caliber bullets 2128 cartons each containing fifteen
 45 caliber pistol bullets
 200 containers for blood plaSma 200 containers for field rations
 50 V-boxes for food and equip inent.
 147O boxes for emergency life boat rationS
 2041 cartons each containing one
 life preserver light 2911 cartons containing ten cart ridges for inf1ating lifeboatS
 $50 cartons for U. s. Army K rationS 1O87 cartons each containing ten dozen boxes of yellow fever vaccine Please will you flatten and pack waste paper into a box or bundle that can be handled easily. Please will you fiatten cartons and brown paper and tie it in bun dles 12 inches high? Please will you tie magazines and books in bundles so they can be handled easily for collection?
 Please will you fold newspapers flat and tie them in bundles about 12 inches high? Help hasten victory by saving every pound of waste paper and making it available for collection. Remember Sunday, March 25-get your bundles out early and let's help America SEND WASTE PA PER TO WAR;!

FREEDOM OF PRESS
 STRESSED IN TALK

Freedom of the press is basic democratic right and responsibility, not a grant of privilege, William w. Vosburg, Jr, editor of the Republi- can, declared at a talk before the fifth of a lenten series of confer ences at Christ church in Water town last night.
 Mir Vosburg sketched the rise of dictatorship in other lands via the throttling of the press and urged eternal vigilance" as the particu- lar price of this safeguard of all liberty.
