Here, in Macomb county, orig

the rationing procure was first
set up by County Clerk Guy l..
Brown who, later had two other
volunteers, Harol d Engelman
and Albert Duffill associated
with him.
Later still, as the demands OF

embrace additional commodities,
Brown was forced 70 relinquish
his rationing activities because
of the pressure of normal
clerks duties, and Maxwell
Case, Of Romeo, stepped into the
breach. When. however, Dewitt

EXPANDS RAPIDLY
At that time Paul w. Mckee,
publisher of the Monitor-Leader
and of the South Macomb News,
was appointed by Office of Price
Administration officials to serve
as chairman of the rapidly ex-
panding volunteer body.
In November, 1912, Case re-
signed as clerk and was sue
ceeded by DIN A. Davis, OF New
Haven, who capably handled the
sweeping, and trying phases OF
the rationing program through
its enormous expansion period
until, on July /, 1914, his health
forced his retirement.
Miss Beatrice Shay, who had
served under Davis almost since
the inception of the rationing
program, was then named chief
clerk.
Back in November, 1912,
however, a wide expansion of
the boards activities and re-
sponsibilities took place as
gasoline, fuel oil, bicycles, boots
and shoes, typewriters and food
stuffs were added to the list Of
rationed items and the regula-
tons on tires, new automobiles
and sugar were appreciably
frightened.
