1915 "V" Garden
PROGRAM, Started

LANSING - With a goal of more
than one million, the State Victory
Garden program for 1945 was
launched this week by Paul r,
Krone. Chief Of the Victory Garden
Section Of the Michigan Office OF
Civilian Defense. in directive sent
to more than 600 OCD Victory Gar
den Committees.
The goal is based upon the num-
Der of gardens 1,O32.8S2 - grown
last year.
Tightening up Of the civilian COM
mercial food supply as indicated by
the OPA's recent action in restoring
points on many canned products
and increased military demands for
food will be emphasized In urging
the public to again grow gardens
so that they may be assured an
ample supply of the kinds Of foods
essential to good diet.
The Statewide garden survey con-
Quoted last fall showed that many
persons planned to discontinue
planting gardens In the erroneous
belief that there had been q great
improvement In the commercial food
supply.

IS YEARS AGO
IN WYANDOTTE

L. F. Hire was chosen to succeed
A. w. Selden as principal of the
high school. Mr.. Selden had accepted
a position in the Pontiac schools.
Supt Frostic announced at a
meeting of the school board that
it would be necessary to reorganize
the work Of the high school due
to the expected addition Of 60 more
pupils at the beginning of the next
semester. This would make about
420 students in the high school. The
superintendent also made the an
nouncement that there were about
600 children in Wysndotte of COM
pulsory school age, who are not at
tending any school, public or pa
rochial. There were about 80 OF
kindergarten and first grade age,
who were not attending school -
about half Of this number were on
the west size.
Plans for the new high school
building were discussed and changes
proposed. There was some hot dis
cussion for and against the pro-
posed changes.
Chairman Lacy of the building
committee reported that one of the
new portable buildings had been
completed and that carpenters were
working on the second one.
At q meeting Of the city commits
sion the question of redistricting the
city and providing additional voting
precincts was discussed. which would
be necessary II the territory south
Of Eureka avenue and west Of the
railroads was annexed at the spring
election.
Graduation exercises of the Ford
schools was held ct the ]. B. Ford
school building. There were eight
graduates.
A community meeting to be held

ton Of the wyandotte Teachers
Club. Parents were urged to attend

tribution.

Book
Lovers

Do you remember the hero OF
Moliere's comedy, "The Bourgeois
Gentleman, who suddenly had 1t
called to his attention that he had
spoken prose all his life without
knowing it?" 1t brought a kindred
start of surprise to us to discover
that many of the stories, anecdotes
and songs with which We had been
brought up are now legitimately
considered as part of our country's
folklore.
You will find many of these fam
liar tales in B. A. Batkin's impress
sive volume, "A Treasury of Amer
lean Folklore, which the Book-of-
the Month Club is sending to men,
bers as q book-dividend for jan
uary and February. 1t contains more
than 500 stories and over 100 songs
and ballads-those favorite Amer
leans loved to tell around campfires
and crackerbarrels, those old songs
they loved to sing together at pic
MICS and parties and hayrides.
Here is q wide assortment of
legendary heroes, and of actual ones
who have had legends built up about
them: Jesse James who gave a
widow money for the mortgage on
her home and then stole the money
back from the mortgage owner;
Paul Bunyan, whose fantastic ex-
ploits were famous among the lum-
Der jacks: Johnny Appleseed: Billy
the Kid: Buffalo Bill; John Henry;
Casey Jones: and a host Of others.
Jingles and rhymes of childhood
make up one section Of this anthol-
ogy, such as Lazy folks work best,
when the sun is in the west" and
Joe, Joe, broke his toe, Riding on
a buffalo. Here is an example Of
how these chance jingles that ap-
peal to childrens ears come into
being. A schoolboy. who is said to
have lived in Enfield, Connecticut,
one morning in class wrote some
thing or slip of paper and passed
it around among his fellows. The
teacher got hold of it. 1t read:
Three little mice ran up the
stairs
To hear Miss Blodgett say her
prayers.
She told him, John, I give you
five minutes to make another two
lines. If you fail. I shall punish
YOU" The boy scratched his head
and in the allotted time produced:
When Miss Blodgett said Amen"
The three little mice ran down
again.
Innumerable stories about fam
Gus collections and adventures of
collectors are to be found in q
comprehensive book by Douglas and
Elizabeth Rigby, Lock, Stock and
Barrel" The range of objects which
meet the collectors fancy is wide,
but one Of the most curious of the
hobbies they describe Is that OF
the Englishman who devoted HIM
self to gathering spider webs-and
preserving each one carefully be-
tween two slabs of glass.

UnfOrgiuabIe Negligence

Shortly before the Christmas holiday the people of a
Western city heard the wall of fire sirens At first they
thought nothing of it. The sirens whine every day large
cities But this different Rig after rig wheeled out of
station houses and hrekng through the streets First
aid and police sirens screamed in the wake of fire
engines. The spread that school was burnng-a
grade school housing four hundred students Forebodng and
horror cuched thousands of hearts Disaster and tragedy
written thousands of faces But fortunately, cool
thinking and rigid fire drills paid Off Four hundred chill
dren returned home safely An entire city breathed sigh
of thankfulneSS.
In that narrowly averted tragedy there lesson. The
school retrap yet lehargy and unwngness to add
few dollars to local bills kept the school Through
out the nation similar schools being used every day.
If careless to permit single child to attend
school in building that by all standards of modern
ton unsafe what expect in other aspects of fire
prevention?
Thousands of persons die in the flames of burning build
ngs each year Each year responsible authorities strive
harder to drive home the simple lesson of caution The people
Of at least city which nearly lost hundreds of its youth
through unorgvable negligence may realize how much
remains to be done

NURSES ARE TOPS

The American nurses over here -
and there are lots Of them - have
turned out just as you would expect:
wonderfully.
Army doctors, and patients, too,
are unanimous in their praise for
them. Doctors tell me that in that
first rush Of casualties they were
calmer than the men.
One hospital unit had nurse they
we're afraid of. She had seemed neu-
rotic and hysterical on the way down.
The head doctor detailed another
nurse just to watch her all through
the hectic first hours Of tending the
wounded. But he needn't have. He
admits now she was the calmest of
the lot.
The head Of one hospital. q col
onel who was soldier in the last
war, worked in the improvised hos
pitfalls set up at Arrow to tend the
freshly wounded. He says not q
soul I'm the outfit cracked up or
got flustered.
You're so busy you don't think
about its being horrible" he says.
You aren't yourself. Actually you
seem to become somebody else. And
after it's over, you're thrilled by it.
Gosh, hope I'm not stuck in a base
hospital I want to get on to the
front"
The Carolina nurses OF the evacu-
alton hospital about which I've been
writing have taken It like soldiers.
For the first 10 days they had to live
like animals. even using open bitches
for toilets, but they never COM
planned.
At this tent hospital one nurse Is

always on duty In each tentful of 20
men. She had medical orderlies to
help her. In bad weather the nurses
wear army overalls.
But Lieut.. Col. Rollin Bauchspies,
the hospital commandant, wants
them to put on dresses once In a
while, for he says the effect on the
men is astounding.
The touch of feminity, the knowl-
edge that a woman is around, gives
a wounded man courage and conf
dence and a feeling of security. And
the more feminine she looks, the
better.
Only about 100 Of the hospitals 100
patients are wounded men. The 9TH
ers are just sick with ordinary things
such as flu, appendicitis, sprains.
They've got a whole tentful of
mumps, and a few cases Of malaria
and dysentery.
At the far end of the hospital, be-
hind an evil-looking barricade OF
barbed-wire, is what Colonel Bauch-
spies calls Casanova park" Back
there are $50 soldiers with venereal
disease.
What's the barbed wire for?"
asked. They wouldn't try to gel
out anyhow
Its just to make them feel like
heels" the colonel said.

Our policy is still appeasement.
1t stems from what might be called
the national hodgepodge Of French
emotions Frenchmen today think
and feel in lots of different direc-
lions. We moved softly at first, in
order to capture as many French
hearts as French square miles. Now
that phase is over. We are here in
full swing.
We have left in office most of the
small-fry officials put there by the
Germans before We came. We are
permitting fascist societies to con-
tinue TO exist Actual sniping has
been stopped, but there is still sab
otage.
The loyal French see this and
wonder what manner of people We
are. They are used to force. and ex-
pect us TO use it against the common
enemy, which includes the French
Nazis. Our enemies see it, laugh,
and call us soft.
Both sides are puzzled by a coun-
try at war which still lets enemies
run loose to work against it.
There are an astonishing num-
Der Of Axis sympathizers among
the French in North Africa. Not
. majority, of course, but more
than you would imagine. This in
itself Is great puzzle to me. /
can't fathom the thought processes
of a Frenchman who prefers Ger
man victory and perpetual domi-
nation rather than a temporary
occupation resulting in eventual
French freedom.
But there are such people, and
they are hindering us. and we over
here think you folks at home should
know three things:
That the going will be tough and
probably long before We have cleaned
up Africa and are ready to move to
bigger fronts. That the French are
fundamentally behind us, but that a
strange, illogical stratum is against
us. And that our fundamental pol
icy still is one of soft-gloving snakes
in our midst.
