City Falls
Short In
UNRRAGifts

The wartime record of Wyan-
dotte and its residents which was
one of the most outstanding in the
nation now is being marred by a
city which proudly did its bit in
war only to fail in peace. For the
Victory Clothing drive is failing in
Wyandotte.
Wyand offers who Oversub-
scribed to war bond campaigns,
who sent ships and planes to war
bearing the city'S name Wy
andotte, who collected scrap and
used fats who sent more
than Is per cent of her population
to the nations armed forces
now is failing in its one peace
time task clothing the war
victims of Europe and Asia.
With only one week left in the
UNRRA clothing drive, reports
show that the drive is falling far
short failing miserably. Only
5,575 pounds of clothing have been
donated this month by a city which
gave 1880 pounds in last years
drive.
Goal this year is one article of
clothing per person. Public
schools have turned in 176 bags
of clothing and parOchial schools,
35 bags. City fire stations report
II bags of clothing collected.
Dive officials estimate each bag
weighs 25 pounds.
A breakdown of public school re-
ports list donations from Wash
ington school az 48 bags; Labadie
AZ: Ford, Is; Woodruff. II; Nc
Kinley, II; Garfield, &c; Lincoln.
10.
Nearly $4,000 pounds of clothing
and bedding must be contributed
by Wyandotters if they are to equal
last years record. Nearly
1900 pounds of clothing must be
given if Wyandotters are to face
the world knowing in their hearts
that they have not failed in peace TO
equal a record of wnole-hearted
giving they made in war.
The price of someone's life is
hanging this minute in the clos
cts of Wyandotte homes in
chests and in attics lie the an
swer to whether a child shall live
or die.
Clothing now is as important as
the ships and planes, bonds and
scrap that Wyandotte gave during
the war.
Dig down into trunks and into
closets for the little-used, outgrown
articles store away when they be-
came unwearable and useless for
ONE member of your family.
Give now give everything
you can spare to save a life and
make a friend.

Wrong Number Please!
"HELL0' HFLI0'

AA6I6O ID IAAAo
Eberts Bros. Coal Coz"
Huh? Wyah yeh . q.
yes, sure this is EbertS. What can
I do for you?"
Where's that coal we ordered?
We need it right away. We're freez-
ing. Will you send over two tons
right away?"
Why surel You bet we will!
Eberts Bros. are right on their toes.
Service is our motto. Well have it
over to your house in ten minutes.
Yesiree, we're comm right over with
your coal. Darn betcha. You just
sit tight and wait"
It's q new fad that's sweeping
the town. Practical jokers are hav-
ing q heyday everytime the hello
girls at Michigan Bell make a mis-
take and dish out with the wrong
number.
And the hello girls have been
running quite streak of bad luck
lately. In the pre-war days if you
got the wrong number it was
rarity. OF late. their batting aver
ages are slumping. The practical
joker crowd insist you have to be
Houdini to get the right number
:. and they are going to fix things
up by getting everyone mad at every
one else. Folks who call 1900 and
get connected instead to one of the
make e-miSerable-crowd .. we'll,
Eberts have a lot of explaining to
do 70 their boiling-ma customers.
1t works for chickens too. You'd
be surprised how many chickens
never get delivered because the
hello girls plug in their line TO
member of the rib crowd instead of
Waters Poultry. The other day a
Waters Bros. customer gave an
order for two chickens to a fellow
on Sixteenth street. The obliging
gent even went so far as to ask the
woman If she wanted the gizzards
left in or taken out. She's still
waiting for the chickens with
or without glzzards.
II someone doesn't reform the
hello girls or put damper on
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. =.
things will come to a sorry pass
in Wyandotte
We haven't checked with the Har-
ley Merritt family but We have
good reason to believe that only
last night a couple visited them +. F.. :.
trying to buy their home. That's
what happens when the hello girls
don't give you a real estate office
when you want a real estate
office and not the residence of some
one who is fed up getting calls from
folks who want TO buy or rent
place to live.
Sure, said the rib-artist, 1--WE
got just the house you want to buy.
And only $1,000 . $500 down . q.
balance on easy terms. Harley Mer-
rift is anxious to sell out. He'll
take airy reasonable offer. Better
go see him tonight before he changes
his mind"
This same rib-artist was on the
receiving end of another wrong
number and TO the unsuspect-
ing party he tried to sell the Harry
Rouse home. 1t didn't work. The
ribber quoted $4,000. The customer
only wanted to pay $4,000. Rouse
still has a roof over his head.
The practical jokers draw no line.
They insult try to date up F.. g.
make love to and otherwise con-
fuse many a young lady who only
wants to talk to her husband q.
or perhaps her fiance'.
It's hard to tell what this monkey
business will lead to IT.. law suits
or even murder. If 1t ever comes to
that 1t is safe to predict that
star witness will be some innocent
and overworked hello girl who
zigged when she should have Jagged.
