For the first time in history
Mount Clemens will be repre-.
sented by a horse in the classic
Kentucky Derby. Arthur Rose
crack ditance-running filly Mi.
sweet will be among the starters
at the war-delayed list running
OF the big race on June 9, when
the wreath of roses, the gold
trophy and $4,000 plus turf
fame . will be bestowed upon
some owner and we hope
it's Art.
Rose, of the Chevrolet agency
is a State Racing Commissioner
and bought the filly for $3.50
so he could watch his own horse
as well as other peoples nags,
run at the Fair Grounds. She set
up a record-breaking 59.2 for the
5 Y furlongs, placed we'll in
many races and brought Art an
$4,000 offer which he
spurned =. Good Luck, Mi
sweet!

Bonus Proposed {
for Fighting Men


WASHINGTON, May 1872
Rep. Starkey (D-Minn.) to-
day proposed so per cent pay
bonus for fighting men eligible
for discharge but kept in the
war.
The Army recently announc-
cd point system 10 ascertain
those eligible for discharge but
said some would be retained
even though they had the re-
quired IS score.
Starkey's legislation would
add so per cent 10 the base pay
Of such men, dating from the
time they become eligible. II
also would give the same pay
hike TO those who stay in uni
form at their own request.
Although he Navy, Coast
Guard and Marine Corps did not
adopt the point system, the
Starkey measure would permit
members of those services to
borrow the point card and APP
ply it TO themselves for pay in
crease purposes only.
If man is eligible TO go
back home to his family. but his
special abilities make him indis-
pensable to the Army, then the
country should show some token
of appreciation in the form Of
extra pay Starkey told a re-
porter.
IT h e proposed increase is
small enough for accepting the
additional sacrifices entailed."

Detroit Time. LAnslas ssrs.s

LANSING, Oct. 6-More than
1000 ex-convicts, many OF whom
went directly from Michigan pris-
ons into the army, will be free
men when they are discharged
from service.
An honorable discharge has a
double meaning for them.
The 1900 PAROLES taken into
service became automatically dis
charged from parole when re-
leased from the armed forces.
Clean bill of health" is manda-
tory for the 120 men who were
released from prison and taken
into service.
MANY BECOME HEROES
Army and navy records show
that many ex-convicts became
heroes. One former Jackson prison
inmate won Ia citations, another
received the SDSD and a third
helped pilot the submarine that
steamed into Yokahoma Harbor.
The parole board revealed today
that slightly less than half the
men who violated parole in the
last year have been given another
chance instead of another prison
term.
Parole violators last year to-
tailed 9f6, OF this number, APO
were returned 10 prison and l56
were convicted of new felonies
and had to go TO Jail again. Four
hundred men committed minor in
fractions of parole rules but were
given another chance. The num-
ber of parole violators is less than
one-fourth the total number of
men and women on parole-3, 300.
so PCT. MAKE GOOD
"Sixty per cent of those who
broke the rules Of parole will
keep their record clean and re-
ceive a final discharge" said
Leonard A. Schaar, supervisor
of parole.
"The other 40 per cent" he
said, probably will slip back
into habits that led them to
prison first-excessive drinking,
failure to provide for their de-
pendents--and Ii will be neceS-
sary TO. send them back"
Asked TO explain why 400 vio-
lators of parole rules were per-
mitted TO go free. Schaar said
that pSychiatrists and parole of
ficers studied the intent and mo-
tive behind the violation and rec
commended leniency if no rever-
sion to criminal tendencies was
indicated.

EAST DETROIT - Another
big step toward clean, whole
some recreation for the youth Of
East Detroit and surrounding
territories has been made by
Wayne Kangus, assistant scout
master of Troop 10.
Mr.. Kangus, In an effort to
get the young people off the

caught on like wild fire.
Mike Liza. the l6-year-old
president of the junior club, stat.

being added to the list each day.
The club is run by the boys and
all business and archery meets

equipment.
The club has its own shoot
ing range, which is open all day
at Toepfer and Donald and will
welcome any boys or girls who
are interested in the bow and
arrow sport. The age limit for
the junior archers is II, but any
one over that age is eligible for
membership in the adult group.
The adult members of the East
Detroit Archers had their first
meeting Sunday, May 13. for the
purpose of organizing the senior
club and electing officers. This
group will have their first arch
cry meet May q, starting at 8
o'clock.
