Windsor Stores Raise
Food Prices 10 Profit
From Detroit Rush
By the A.cocjcted Pres,

WINDSOR, Ont, Aug. 1s.-Gro-
GERS in this Canadian border city
predicted today that American
housewives are going to rush them
selves right out Of a good thing.
Detroiters have been invading
Windsor by the thousands in recent
weeks, attracted by the food bar
gains they can get under Canadian
price controls.
Meat cuts costing from 55 cents
to 10 cents a pound in Detroit have
been selling from IS to SO cents a
pound here. Eggs bought here al
IS cents a dozen cost 10 cents ir
Detroit.
Eggs Rise to so Cents.
But in the past week end the
bargain hunting crowds from the
other side of the Detroit River
found signs that eggs were up te
go cents a dozen. Hamburger tina.
had been IS cents had disappeared
and its place was ground round
steak-for As cents a pound.
There are bargains yet to bt
found. Certain canned goods and
meat still are under price controls
But food market officials said the
gap between Detroit and Windsor
prices is getting smaller, as grocers
mark up tags where they can to take
advantage of the rush.
Saturdays line-ups were typical
of recent weeks. A four-block
queue of American customers
loaded down with packages of meat
eggs. canned goods and vegetables
waited to be cleared at the customs
S. Worth Allowed.
Purchasers are allowed to take
home S. worth of foodstuffs with
payment of small duty.
Buses through the Windsor-De-
troit tunnel were so loaded in the
afternoon that officials limited to
II the number of persons carrying
food parcels allowed aboard each
coach.
Customs authorities denied re-
ports that an embargo would be
placed on food purchases by Amer
leans. They said the rumors prob
ably started from wishful thinking
by Windsor shoppers Inconvenience
by the crowds in downtown markets.

to me las all other things have

is a good time to return to the
teachings of Jesus for the salts
faction and adjustment which we
need.-This great divine-human
man tells us that the first and
greatest commandment is to
Love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart, might, mind and
strength" And the second is
like unto it "Love thy neighbor
as myself" 1t seems to lie this
would be good thing to try. If
for no other reason, then as an

good of all mankind both collec-
lively and individually. One
other thought which might be con-
sidered-In the 10th Chap. OF
Mark and the 18th & 18th verses,
we read "and these signs shall
follow them that believe. In my
name they shall cast out devils,
they shall speak with new
tongues, they shall take up ser
pents and if they drink any deadly
thing il shall not hurt them, they
shall lay hands upon the sick and
they shall recover" ..-...

These, accompanied with other
blessings and benefits can be
found in Christs teachings as be-
ing those things which shall fol-
low the believer. Would be won

They would help us to recover

Mystery of the
Whoopir,g Crane

AS whooping crane detective I
am not worth whoop This per-
haps is natural since have no Gre
dentials as naturalist. But in the
course Of leading the Fish and Wild
Life service on a wild crane chase
I encountered some interesting
facts.
This is the story:
While I was in Florida I heard
some convincing descriptions of
whooping cranes, said to be found on
a nearby plantation. I knew the
whooping crane rapidly was becom-
ing extinct and had never heard
of any of them having been seen in
Florida so. when I returned to
Washington, I Immediately commu-
nicated my discovery" to Mr.. Lin
coin. ornitho1ogist of the Fish and
Wild Life service of the department
of the interior. He was very polite
and patient and even agreed to ask
Mr.. Kelsey, one Of the department.
representatives, to interview my
wife, who was still in Florida, as to
the reports which she had first-hand.
1t wasn't long before heard from
my wife that as result of further
consultation with the Audubon Bird
Book and very short conversation
with Kelsey, there was unanimous
agreement that the cranes were not
whoopers but must be sandhills. It's
an old story to the service but they
take no chances and run down all
clues. Even If the only proof the
"discoverer" has is the earnest in
sistence that: II know it was a
whoopin' crane because I heard him
a'whoopin'."
Part of the reason for these metic-
ulous inquiries is that the service is
at present conducting a survey in
hope of locating the nesting place
of the whooping cranes. This spot
never has been found, but it almost
certainly is somewhere in Canada.
