August Top Vacation
Month

According to the State
tourist societies, August
has become the top vaca-
ton month in Michigan.
This fact naturally af-
fects the contributions
given to Goodwill Indus
tries which depends ON
usable d'scards to keep
nearly 400 handicapped
people gainfully employ
ed.
In a district that is so
dorendent on the automo-
bile industry. which - e
ups and downs as far as
production is concerned, 1t
is not hard for the average
housewife to know what
a slow period in industry
mean to any individual or
family.
For these reasons Good
will Industries of Detroit
has asked its friends and
contributors, who are not
on vacation. to make an
added effort in contribut-
ing their discards between
now and Labor Day.
Harold H.. McKinnon,
Executive Secretary, in an
open letter to all those who
have supported the In
dustries here, said today !:
Because contributors have
given more during the first
seven months in 1866 than
in any other previous year,
Goodwill has been able to
keep on a more even keel,
has been able to give bet
ter service to it's employees,
and has been able to keep
more employees steadily
employed than ever be-
fore"
While thanking the pub
lie for its generosity and
and thoughtfulness, Nc
Kinnon at the same time
made an appeal for
more discards to keep
the production line NOV
ing steadily for the bene-
fit of the handicapped.

Two Homes Gutted By Sunday Fire

Two fires, which occurred with in few hundred yards of each other and about 18 hours apart, destroyed the homes of L. M. Propst and Rasmus Urdahl. The former is located just above the KEA plant and the latter above that on Mission Road.
 Fire started in the Propst home about 6 a. m. Sunday morning. It was first noticed by Ralph Me Manus, cab driver, and Bill Fay Tor, patrolman on duty.
 The entire inside of the house was gutted by the fire. Smoke and water damage destroyed furnish ings and personal belongings No one was in the house at the time of the fire.
 Cause of the fire was unknown.
 The Urdahl home, small white dwelling, located just above the Propst's was badly damaged by fire when it blazed into conflagra- tion about midnight of the same day.
 This fire is believed to have started by an overloaded washing machine motor. The machine. apartment size. had apparently been left running. It was located in a corner next to the entryway.
 Patrolmen Ed Hess and Taylor, who were driving along Mission Road, first noticed the smoke. Hess rushed into the dwelling, and found three men unconscious on the bed. He first brought one man out and then rushed back in On the second trip in he brought the other two men to safety. The three men, Finer Peterson, Gust Gudmundsen and Charley Warr en were taken to the City jail and later fined $10O and 90 days, sus pended.
 Rasmus Urdahl. a well-known resident of Kodiak. is presently in Europe.
 Both houses were covered by insurance.

Tue Democrats Choice

The man who was most sure for months that he would be his party's presidential candidate, was swept into that position by an overwhelming 9051s votes at the convention in Chicago. Adlai Stevenson was nominated by accla- nation. following his big vote, in sharp contrast to Harriman's 210. The former Illinois governors popularity is no overnight whimsy on the part of the Democratic party. Nor is it due to lack of com petition. The Democrats have many able men from which to choose. Their choice of Stevenson was, we feel sure, the right one. He has demonstrated in his speeches and public appearances, and of course, as former govern Or. to be an able administrator and public spirited citizen. He is fearless, of intellectual courage, with many of the traits of a states Inan-an able speaker, with a firm grasp of the world situation in gen. :eral. >
 Whether Stevenson will defeat Eisenhower. remains to be seen. Or even whether he viii make a better showing than he did in 1852. is still problematical. and is wrapped up in factors such as Eisenhower's health, the price of hogs and farm, goods, the ability of his running mate to swing votes-and the Southern vote. These ale some of the factors on the domestic front. How the pres ent tight world situation develops

SALES TAX OCT. 1
(Continued from page D

Jack Hinckel, Union Oil Com pany Consignee, was present. He said his main interest was to have the ordinance clearly define ex- emptions and what items are tax able. Asked as to whether he thought the tax would influence sales, he said he though it would for the time being. Since consider able of his business is with con- tractors he said any increases the latter have to pay, due to the tax, has not been provided for, in bids. They will purchase anywhere they can get the best price"
 Section 1, paragraph 8 was de- leted from the ordinance, as drawn up by the City Attorney, Russ Arnett. This called for a tax on sales made of professional supplies to physicians, dentists and under takers.
 There will be no tax on sales made of insurance policies. Ser vice rendered by airlines will not be taxable.
 The greater portion of the sales tax remained as drawn up by tbe City Attorney. The effective date of it's going into law is October 1.
 The Bureau of Public Roads re- quested the City Council for an easement through certain lands, along the shore where they plan to build road that will bypass the present slide area.
 A letter was read from the Bureau requesting the easement. Paul Stover appeared before the Council, and stated the money has already been appropriated, and work will start as soon as the easement is obtained.
 The request was placed in the hands of the Road Committee, who will meet with the City Manager, go over the property in question and make recommendations *.
 The project, according to Slower, will cost in the neighborhood of $8OO,OO0.

will play a. part in the outcome.
 The Republican party will with out doubt nominate Eisenhower. His popularity still remains with the rank and file-and on him is pinned the hope of the COP. The outcome of this whole election is dependent upon one thing-his health.
 STATEHOOD PLANK
 The Democratic National Con vention adopted an Alaska-Hawaii statehood plank, with these words: We condemn the Republican ad- ministration in its utter disregard to the rights of statehood for both Alaska and Hawaii. These terri. tories contributed greatly to our national. economic and cultural life and are vital to our defense. They are part of America and should be recognized as such. We of the Democratic party. therefore pledge immediate statehood for these two territories"
 There can be no doubt in the minds of anyone as to the stand on this vital issue with Alaskans, that the Democratic party has taken. Stevenson'S policy is no less bind ing. Following his trip through the territory some years ago, he has repeatedly. through speeches and, letters. committed himself 70 statehood for Alaska
 An unequivocal Stand by a DO. litical party On an issue that has been banded around these many years like a- political football, is refreshing, to say the least.
