Stories OH SHORTAGES

You've heard. perhaps, about
the cigaret shortage?
You realize even the cigar and
chewing tobacco situation is not up
10 snuff? Local transportation
isn't what it should be.
There's usually a long wait for
your laundry-and meat is not so
easy to get either. And as for
coal!
That's why Radio Station
WXYZ and The Detroit Times
have inaugurated a new series of
semiweekly broadcasts, made ION
the spot" in butcher shops, coal
yards, cigar stores, laundries--to
give these dealers who are ION
the spot a chance TO tell their
side of the story.
The first of these broadcasts
will be heard at 6:15 p m. tomor-
row, over WXYZ, and will bring
TO Detroit listeners the inside
story of the Detroit Street Rail
way system.

Of current and future moves In
the Pacific while his Scottie,
Fala, and a big Irish Setter
rubbed against the trouser legs
Of the three newsmen.
Mr.. Roosevelt, who had just
talked privately with Osmena,
said he expected organized Jap

conceded, however, that hippo
nese Guerrillas might be active
for several years.

vided for complete Philippine

June, however, the law was
amended TO authorize the Amer

mined that constitutional pro-
cesses and normal functions Of
