 Wait a minute broke in For and. long an outspoken critic of the stubby Minnesotan. T don't think this is at all respectful We had better wait until we get a ma jcrity of the committee before we start to do business"
 Knutson sat down and fidgeted for a few minutes. After two or three others drifted in, he turned to Forand again.
 How about going ahead noW?" he grumbled T don't feel so good

 Inside story is that national Le- zion Commander James F. O'Neil, under pressure from disgruntled World War II vets, has busted Richard Cadwallader as National Housing Chairman.

THE UNBELIEvING GERMANS

The Germans have it all figured out why meatless Tuesdays are back again in the USA. They have two reasons: l. We are hoarding food for war with Russia: ?. We are trying to force up prices.
 This is the report brought back from Germany by Senator Harry Cain of Washington who left the conducted tour of his fellow Sena- tors, and took off on his own in borrowed jeep. Cain mingled and talked with the common people, scratching notes on the back of a manila envelope. Here are some oi his notes:
 City people grubbing for pota- tees. COWS pulling blows grass growing in Hitler's super ! highway
 Cain found that the average Ger man refused to believe reports of the vast amount of food America is shipping overseas. He preferred to accept the line handed out by the Communists. Two favorite Nazi Jckes were:
 Yes, much food is coming from America-through the radio
 America is sending us 50 ships. Forty-eight are loaded with frag- enbotens (de-Nazification forms and two are loaded with grapefruit juice"
 Note-That's why neWsreel photos were taken of the Friendship Train to be shown in European theatres. That's also why two Friendship Trains will be run through France and Italy.

Suzie Is Mourned

TRAVERSE CITY, Jan. 3 -
Wanton killing during deer sea-
son of Suzie, a small pet albino
doe, has provoked closing of
Boardman river valley farms to
deer hunting next year.
Suzie was the pride of valley
residents, who have kept note
of her fawns for three seasons.
One of her twins this summer
was part white, one was natural
color. Since the little white doe
could not have been mistaken
for an antlered buck, 1t is be-
lieved she was either shot de.
liberately by a violator or hit
by some unprincipled hunter
who fired at a movement in the
brush.

amazing how few casualties
result.
Comparing hockey injuries
with football injuries, they
usually differ in this respect.
When a hockey player is
"nicked" a few stitches may
be taken in the wound and
the player returns to the
game with no i'll effects. But
on the other hand when a
football player is helped from
the field, because of a twisted
knee, he may come limping
