man plumbers OF the war?
Crushing defeat robbed the
Nazi armies of their glsmor OF
greatness. but also destroyed the
lllustlon that the Germans,
trained all their lives in the art
of war, have any priority on

One American operations ex

battle of the Belgian bulge
hailed for days as a great Ger
man tactical victory, actually
fastened the collapse OF Nazi
arms by six iull months.
That was only one of at least
half dozen major tactical and
strategic plumbers committed by
the Nazis in their long JOY ride
to national suicide.

Macomb county supervisors,
by vote of q to one, on Tues

disapproval of legislation pend

of Representatives which would
make mandatory the appoint
ment of a second probate judge
in Macomb county.
The lone dissenter was Super

Copies of the resolution were
to be forwarded at once to Will

Of the state legislature.

Ernest Wangelin, supervisor
from Ray township, who offered
the motion, declared that pas
sage of the bill would needless
ly saddle Macomb county tax
payers with approximately $l5,-
600 annually in added expens-
es." His motion was seconded
by Supervisor Omar Henderson
of Richmond township.
Wangelin is chairman Of the
supervisors probate court COM

a $4,000 increased expenditure
was based upon the clerks hire,
maintenance of quarters and
salary of the proposed new
judge Of probate.
ROAD OPEN
