Investigation CommitteeNamed in July Reportedto Village Trustees.

LADIES' AID SOCIETIESHAVE ANNUAL ELECTIONS

A committee appointed by Vil-lage President W. L. Mann in Julyto make an investigation of a com-munity hospital plan here as apost-war project, submitted theirreport, through the committeechairman, Frederick Pinney, to thevillage council Tuesday night.

The council, by resolution, votedto create a hospital finance com-mittee who are authorized to so-licit funds for the project and carefor them until such time as theymay be needed for a communityhospital. Members of this financecommittee are M. B. Auten, Fred-erick Pinney and Mrs. E. B.Schwaderer.

The following is the report ofthe investigation committee as pre-sented by Mr. Pinney to the coun-cil Tuesday night: *

"The committee for study of aproposed hospital project has com-pleted preliminary investigation ofthe possibilities and submits thisreport of its conclusions and recom-mendations.

We Believe"1. That there is a definite need

for better and larger hospitalfacilities in our community. Prog-ress along this line throughout thewhole Thumb of Michigan has seri-ously fallen behind the generalnational average. An example maybe furnished from statistics givenby the Kellogg Foundation, thatwhereas nationally 70% of all

-maternity cases are hospitalized,in our Thumb counties the averageis only 30%. Lack of proper facili-ties is at least part of the answerto that.

"2. That construction of an ade-quate, modern hospital is a feasibleproject for this community as soonas post-war conditions will permit.

"3. That steps to initiate theproject should be taken immediate-ly, so that a permanent organiza-tion might be established,, withauthority to raise funds, make def-inite plans, and handle otherphases of the matter which neednot await the end of the war.

"4. That outside assistance in aproject of this nature will be avail-able after the war-neither fromgovernmental agencies or fromsome private philanthropic source—and that those communitieswhich have proper plans underway to utilize their own resourceswill be best able to qualify forsuch assistance.

We Recommend"1. That the village council es-

tablish a hospital commission byresolution or ordinance. Thisis to create a permanent facility

Cancer Is CurableIf Treated in ItsEarly Stages

Dr. Rector, in AddressHere, Says Average Per-son Starts Care Too Late.

One out of every eight deaths inMichigan last year was caused bycancer in some form, Dr. Frank L.Rector, a representative of theMichigan State Health Depart-ment, told Cass City Rotarians attheir luncheon at the MethodistChurch Tuesday. One and one-jhalf per cent of these deaths werepersons under the age of 20 years.There are three and one-halfdeaths from cancer to every onefrom tuberculosis in Michigan,Considerable money has been ap-propriated to fight TB but verylittle, in comparison, to combatcancer. Cancer is not contagiousand there's no disgrace in beingthus afflicted, Dr. Rector said.Cancer is an unnatural abnormalgrowth of tissue. Treated early,it is,curable. Later, after it startsto spread, it is too late.

Among early signs of cancer area lump in breast tissue, unnaturalblood stained discharge from a'normal body opening, a sore thatdoes not heal, and sudden changesin size of moles land their changeto a dark blue polor. Indigestionthat continues for two or threeweeks should send a patient tohave an X-ray of the stomach.Don't wait for cancer pains, thespeaker said, before a doctor isconsulted. It then is often too late.A thorough physical checkup oncea year is advisable.

Surgery, X-ray and radium arerecognized cures for cancer. Othermethods of treatment are of doubt-ful value, according to Dr. Rector.Long exposure to the sun maycause skin cancer to the Caucasian,and the doctor advised young andold to wear clothing in the hottestweather from shoulder to knee.There's no benefit in undue expo-sure to the sun after the first earlysummer tan.

Mrs. Gordon L. Thomas, whohas served as pianist at Rotaryluncheons for several months, waspresented with a beautiful bouquetof a dozen roses by L. I. Woodof the club music committee, as agift from Rotarians.

Retail merchants of Cass Citywill unleash their sales power onwar bonds and stamps throughoutthe week of Dec. 6, in memory ofAmerica's fighting men who gavetheir lives at Pearl Harbor, twoyears ago.

On every war bond purchasedthrough a retailer between Dec. 6and 11, will be a Pearl HarborCommemorative Sticker. Retailersthroughout Michigan will partici-pate in this state-wide "Pearl Har-bor Week" bond drive.

Just two years ago, when theJaps made their sneak attack whichforced us into war, everyone wasfighting mad and ready to do any-thing and everything within hispower to avenge that atrocity.However, things have been goingin our favor of late, with the re-sult that some people are inclinedto ease up in their personal effortsto help speed victory.

We should all remember theevents of two years ago, take a newgrip on ourselves, and pledge anewto do everything we possibly canto help bring this war to its end.

One thing which everyone cando is buy more bonds and stamps.Especially during Pearl HarborWeek everyone should make aneffort to buy one or more extrabonds, as a reminder to our ene-mies that we haven't forgottenPearl Harbor, and that we arebacking our fighting men to thelimit.

Those who plan to give warbonds for Christmas are urged tobuy them during Pearl HarborWeek from any retail merchant,so that they will have Pearl Har-bor commemorative stickers at-tached.

Retail merchants may securecommemorative stamps at theirlocal bank or post office.

Higher BuyingSeen After War

U. S. Chamber of CommerceFinds Spending Will

Be on Big Scale.

WASHINGTON.—Purchases by theAmerican public, after the war, willbe far in excess of those estimatedlast December by the United StatesChamber of Commerce, the cham-ber reports on the basis of a newsurvey of this prospect.

At the same time, the departmentof commerce released a report byone of its specialists which seemedto support this view.

The chamber of commerce basedits conclusion on polls which it madein December and within the last fewweeks. These, it said, showed thatthe number of families now planningto buy one or more major articleswithin six months after the returnof peace had increased from 53 percent to 64 per cent of-, the nation'stotal.

Higher Estimate Detailed.The chamber summarized the re-

sults of its current survey as fol-lows:

"3,675,000 families, compared with2,590,000 in December, now intendto buy automobiles to cost $3,307,-500,000, compared with $2,331,000,-000.

"The household - appliance fieldshows an increase in buying inten-tions from $860,185,000 to $1,215,910,-000, with the greatest jump occur-ring in radios and electric kitchenmixers.

"Overall home - furnishings pur-chase intentions show only a nomi-nal increase from $709,905,000 to$711,410,000.

"One million five hundred and for-ty thousand families—an increase of50 per cent—intend to build or buya new home within six months afterthe war is over. The prospectiveinvestment has risen from" an esti-mated $5,000,000,000 to $7,184,800,000.

"Seventy-two per cent of the peo-ple say they feel they are at leastas well off financially as a year ago,a drop of 1 per cent. The figures,broken down, show the followingpercentages for the two surveys:East, 65 per cent now, and 69 percent a year ago; Middle West, 74per cent and 72 per cent; South, 79per cent and 78 per cent; Far West,70 per cent and 78 per cent."

More Buy War Bonds.Its second survey, the chamber

said, showed that the percentage ofpersons buying war bonds andstamps had risen from 69 to 76. Itrevealed also that while the per-centage of those putting money intolife insurance had declined from 58to 56 per cent, "the percentage go-ing to savings account windows hasrisen from 2i per cent to 26 percent."

"But only 25 per cent of the na-tion's families are saving for a spe-cific purpose," the chamber's re-port continued. "Even so, that fig-ure is six points higher than a yearago. Despite the evidences thatmany people intend to make imme-diate major post-war purchases,most of them are not, on the basisof present savings, counting on pay-ing cash. The American habit of in-stallment buying will continue to bea major factor in large consumerpurchases."

Set Date for Christ'sBirth in Fourth Century

Strangely, no one knows the exactdate of the birth of Christ. Untilsome time in the Fourth century,Christmas (Christ's Mass) was vari-ously celebrated on January 6, Feb-ruary 2, March 25, April 19, May 20and November 17.

The Christmas carol which hasstirred the world by the depth of itsunderstanding, the strength of itsemotional appeal and its simplicityof diction, was given to the world bya priest and the teacher in his parish.

Written for a Christmas festivalin 1818 by Joseph Mohr and put tomusic by Franz Gruber, "StilleNacht" was finished in a little villagein Austria.

Received with delight by enthusi-astic parishioners, this carol foundits way around a world that seemedto be listening for just this echo ofthe angel song.

Christmas Gifts UnknownIn Most European Nations

Outside of England and the Teu-tonic countries, Christmas gifts areunknown in the Old World. In Latincountries, including France, giftsare exchanged on New Year's day.

In England, usually on the firstweekday after Christmas, "Boxingday" is observed. Packages, smallgifts, and gratuities are given topostmen,- errand boys, tradesmen,porters, charwomen, etc.

Good Example

Proving that Santa Claus is patri-otic as well as generous, he places apair of war bonds in this well-filledstocking. More and more people aregiving war bonds as Christmas pres-ents, thus aiding their country's warefforts as well as simplifying theiryule shopping.

Night Before ChristmasNow I lay me down to rest, .Angels guard my little nest.Like the wee birds in the tree,Heavenly Father, care for me.

St. NicholasFlorida, Minnesota and Pennsyl-

vania have towns named after St.Nicholas, the Christmas saint.

Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.Eeleased by Western Newspaper Union.

Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se-lected and copyrighted by InternationalCouncil of Religious Education; used bypermission.

LESSON TEXT—Exodus 20:17; Luke12:13-25.

GOLDEN TEXT—Thou shalt not covet. . . anything that is thy neighbor's.—Exodus 20:17.

The Ten Commandments (the lastone of which we study today) arecharacterized by their brevity, theircomprehensive touch with all oflife, and fidelity to the right. Butthey are also unique and differentfrom all other laws in that theyreach into the inner recesses of aman's heart, a realm where onlyGod can judge and act.

This last commandment (againstcovetousness) emphasizes that point,for it does not expressly require orforbid any act, but deals with themotive of man's action. Man canjudge another man's acts, but hecannot judge his motives, desires, orthoughts. God must do that.

But man can, by the grace of God,control his motives; and hence wehave this commandment and its in-terpre,tation.

I. The Sin—Covetousness (Ex.20:17).

It may be a surprise to many tolearn that coveting—or desiring whatbelongs to another—is a sin. It hasbecome one of the "respectablesins" accepted in the best circlesand practiced by many church peo-ple.

As a matter of fact, this sin un-derlies all the other sins againstwhich the commandments speak. Hewho has a love for money and anevil desire to have his neighbor'spossessions will hate, lie, steal,cheat, kill, in fact, as Dr. Morgansays, "The whole realm of humaninterrelations is disorganized andbroken up by the dishonoring of thetenth commandment."

If you have become a lover ofmoney, or one who longs to havewhat your friends own, beware. Youare in real danger.

II. The Result — A Ruined Life(Luke 12: 13-21).

To have such a spirit makes &man greedy %(v. 13), callous andselfish (w. 17-19), and foolish (v.20),both regarding this life and thatwhich is to'come.

The yardstick of success in theworld—for an individual, an organi-zation, or a nation; yes, even formany a church—is the possession ofwealth, or property, or other"things." Write it in large letterson the hearts and minds of our boysand girls, "A man's life consistethnot in the abundance of the thingswhich he possesseth" Cv. 15). .

The one who was known to hisfriends (and to himself) as "a richman" (v. 16), but whom God knewas a "fool" (v. 20), had more thanhe could use for himself. He hadto build new and bigger barns, andcould not see the "barns"'that werealready prepared, for, as Ambrosesays, "Thou hast barns—the bosomsof the needy, the houses of widows,the mouths of orphans and infants."

He was a fool who loved money forhimself. One wonders what he hadto say-for himself when that verynight he was called into the pres-ence of God to give an account ofhis stewardship (v. 20). If you aresimilarly situated and have thesame attitude, what will you say inthat day?

An important point which wemust note is that Jesus expresslyrepudiated .the connecting of Hisname with the so-called "social gos-pel" in His reply (v. 14).

III. The Cure—Trust in God (Luke12:22-25).

Because covetousness destroys thebest in life, we ought to shun it likepoison. The best antidote (or cure)if we have been poisoned by it isto go all-out in our trust and con-fidence in God.

We who are children of God areto take no anxious thought for themorrow. This does not forbid prop-er preparation and forethought, butit does rule out fretful anxiety. Thereasons are very clear and cogent.

First of all, while food and cloth-ing are important, they are not offirst importance. The vital thing isthat one have life. Otherwise thingsare useless (v. 23). We must keepour sense of proportion, of relativevalues.

Then too, God is the One who mustcare for every one of us. And Hedoes care for us! Why not trustHim? He cares for all creation;can He not care for you? If thenyou trust the all-powerful One, whatoccasion is there for worry, or cov-etousness?

And finally comes the devastatingargument. Worry never accom-plished anything. Anxiety does nothelp anyone, anytime, anywhere. Sowhy be anxious?

It is clear then that a desire forthat which belongs to others is asin which destroys man's happinessand usefulness. IJfc- is needless—asis all anxiety—because only God canprovide, and He will provide if wetrust Him.

Life becomes simple, pleasant, use-ful, confident, yes, really Christian,when we get our eyes off things andon the Lord.

Vanadium From SootIn Germany, the need for vana-

dium is so acute that slag fromblast furnaces is being carefully"sifted" for the vanadium lost insteel making. Italy frugally wipesout the smoke-stacks of ships and in-dustrial plants for the naphtha sootand from it extracts part of its vana-dium supply. Italy also gleans va-nadium from caustic soda solutionused in refining bauxite. An Ameri-can firm has reported "rich" ac-cumulations of vanadium in the fluedust of ship boilers burning Vene-zuelan fuel oil.

[ARLEY was dead. ^Scrooge knew he was dead? Of course he did.

Scrooge and he were partners. Scrooge was his sole execu-tor, his sole friend, and sole mourner. And even Scroogewas not so cut up by the sad event.

Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone,Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutch-ing, covetous, old sinner!

Once upon a time—on Christmas Eve—old Scrooge satbusy in his counting-house.

"A merry Christmas, uncle! God save you!" cried hisnephew's cheerful voice.

"Bah!" said Scrooge, "Humbug!"Then, two portly gentlemen came in."At this festive season of the year, Mr. Scrooge," said

<one gentleman, "it is more than usually desirable that we

should make some slight provision for the poor and destitute.What will you give?"

"Nothing!" Scrooge replied. "I help to support the poor-houses—they cost enough; and those who are badly off mustgo there."

That evening, Scrooge took his melancholy dinner in hisusual melancholy tavern; and having read all the news-papers, went home to bed.

As he threw his head back in the chair, his glance hap-pened to rest upon a disused bell that hung in the room. Itwas with great astonishment that he saw this bell beginto swing.

It was succeeded by a clanking noise, deep down below;as if some person were dragging a heavy chain over thecasks in the wine merchant's cellar.

It came through the door, and passed into the room.

HeaVens! It was Marley! Marley's chain was made ofcash-boxes, keys, padlocks, ledgers, deeds, and heavy purseswrought in steel.

Scrooge fell upon his knees."Mercy!" he said. "Dreadful apparition, why do you

trouble me?" /"It is required of every man," th^ Ghost returned, "that

the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow-men; and if that spirit goes not forth in life, it is condemnedto do so after death. It is doomed to wander through theworld—oh, woe is me!—and witness what it cannot share,but might have on earth, and turned to happiness!

"You will be haunted by Three Spirits. Without theirvisits," said the Ghost, "you cannot hope to shun the pathI tread. Expect the first when the bell tolls One."

LEGISLATURE. Reversing theusual procedure, Governor Kellyhas formulated the following policyfor the 1944 special session of thelegislature:

The date of the session will beset after legislative committeescomplete a tentative outline of themost urgent post-war needs andthe state's critical needs for thecoming fiscal year, and after mem-bers of the house ways and meanscommittee and the senate financecommittee have agreed upon abudget to fit these needs. I

The 1944 session, because of thewar emergency, should be stream-lined in order to speed up handlingof bills and permit an early returnof legislators to their homes. Manylegislators are working long hoursand lack help to handle their busi-ness affairs during a prolonged |session at Lansing.

* * *BILLS. The governor's office,!

aided by legislative leaders andkey committees, should preparetentative drafts of bills. Legisla-tors should have these bills await-,ing them upon their arrival inLansing. Any changes in the billscan be made in the comsnittees andacted upon by the house and sen-ate. Thus, considerable time shouldbe saved for everyone. In fact, aprinted outline of pending legisla-tion should be mailed to every,legislator well in advance of thefirst legislative session. Such legis-lation should be not "Kelly bills"but should reflect the judgment oflegislative leaders summoned into >deliberations well before the gover-nor issues the call.

* * *LONG RANGE. Post-war needs

of the State of Michigan, such asstate hospitals, state trainingschools and state educational in-stitutions, and office buildings inDetroit and Lansing, should be"budgeted" according to a long-range program. Needs should begiven priority according to theirurgency, and thus the most criticalof state building fire hazards mightbe placed first on the list and givenright-of-way for 1944-45.

NO MELON. However, thestate's post-war reserve, whichAuditor General Vernon J. Brownestimates will be $50,000,000 bynext July 1, should not become a"melon" to be sliced up during the1944 legislative session. A sub-stantial amount should be retainedto meet unforeseen contingenciesif they arise in the post-war period.

HEALTH. Health needs of theDetroit metropolitan area, thescene of a race riot last June,should receive .recognition in thelegislative call. These health needs(which prompted 75,000 or moreNegroes to jam Belle Isle on onehot Sunday) should be met by anappropriation to acquire parks andplaygrounds in the southeasterncounties of Michigan. Emphasis,however, should be on a long-rangeprogram.

* * #PLANNING. A focal point in

the governor's program is theMichigan Planning Commission,which is the state's "board of di-rectors" in determining post-warneeds and their priorities. For thefirst time, the state of Michigannow possesses a complete inventoryof state property—an accomplish-ment which should net $50,000 sav-ing each year in building repairsalone. The building committee ofthe state administrative board isanother key agency.

* . * *OFFICES. An additional office

building in Lansing would save$150,000 a year in rentals. Sucha structure, built on functionallines, should permit savings ingovernmental costs through a pos-sible centralized accounting depart-ment for many state agencies. Thesame thing could be done for aDetroit office building.

* * *CRITICISM. The Detroit Labor

Newg (AFL) has been tossing the jharpoon regularly at Governor iKelly. In October it charged by!editorial innuendo that Kelly either jwas catering for support of theAnti-Saloon League or was inleague with bootleggers. Reason:Scarcity of liquor. On Nov. 19 thesame publication carried this pageone headline: "Milk Sought—Gov.Kelly Offers Whiskey." Reason:Scarcity of milk. The shortage ofhairpins offers new possibilities, jMaybe Kelly can be blamed forthat too.

* * *BEER. The state liquor control

commission reports that productionof Michigan breweries during Oc-tober was 21.37 per cent greaterthan in October, 1942.

% ^ $£

FOOD. A subcommittee of theMichigan food marketing councilis working on plans for a state-wide advertising program to en-courage greater use in Michiganof Michigan food products. Bene-fits: Relief to war-time transpor-tation through short hauls fromfarm to Michigan markets; educa-tion on quality of Michigan prod-ucts; better consumer appreciationof Michigan agriculture. . . . A25 per cent increase in food lawviolations is reported. Offendersblame shortage of help.

DELINQUENCY. Parents whoneglect their children and thus areindirectly responsible for repeatedacts of juvnile delinquency wouldbe liable to citation for contemptof court under a plan approved bythe Michigan juvenile code studycommission at Lansing. The com-j

mission also endorsed proposals re-quiring parents to pay at least halfof the cost of institutionalizing orcaring for offspring they have ne-glected.

* * *ACCIDENTS. Just as the 1943

rise of hunting accidents has beenaccredited to war-time nerves, sothe experts are forecasting a risein automobile accidents after thewar. The danger is "emotional let-down," announces Maxwell Halsey,executive director of the statesafety commission. Halsey said thepresent 35-mile limit would proba-bly be raised gradually, first to 50.

* * *HELICOPTERS. Inspired by the

rapid expansion of aviation inWorld War II, experts now envi-sion a future for Michigan citizensin which Detroit would become theair center of the world and 85 percent of the state's populationwould have access to air travelthrough helicopters and Hugetransport planes served by a net-work of 240 airfields outside ofDetroit. Thomas E. Walsh, direc-tor of the Michigan Board of Aero-nautics, presented the above pic-ture recently in Detroit. Use ofaviation will accelerate the popu-lation trend from city to outlyingsuburbs and farms.

* * *EDUCATION. Return of more

than 400,000 soldiers and sailorsto Michigan will swell enrollmentsat University of Michigan andMichigan State College to all-timepeaks. The university has a$27,000,000 program for post-warconstruction and expansion, basedon expectancy of 18,000 students.The college likewise envisions a10,000 student enrollment with re-,sultant need for more classroomsand facilities. Dr. Eugene B. El-liott, chairman of the Michiganplanning commission, recently re-vealed that educators are consider-ing additions of thirteenth andfourteenth grades to urban highschools in order to train tradesmenfor industries.

Sicily's TrademarkMenacing Mount Etna, Europe's

highest active volcano, is Sicily's-trademark. Eruptions that occurevery five or six years often blowoff a few feet of its height or buildit higher. The snowy peak reachesbetween 10,750 and 10,850 feet abovesea level. The fertile slopes arestriped and dotted with green vine-yards and fruit trees, making Etnatypical of the Sicilian mountainsthat have "snow on their shouldersand orange blossoms in their laps."

Boost Farm ValuesWhile farm real-estate prices have

been rising, the trend toward infla-tion is caused by city or non-farmpurchasers, not by farmers buyingland, according to U. S. departmentof agriculture records.

Concluded from page 1.of the village, set up as a non-profit organization for the con-struction, operation and guidanceof a community hospital.

"2. That membership of thiscommission should include severalrepresentatives of the rural com-munity surrounding Cass City.The territory within a radius of 10to 15 miles each way from ourtown should and probably wouldutilize a facility of this type, andtheir participation in creating, or-ganizing and administering it isdesirable. Experience of other hos-pitals has proven this to be true.

"3. That beginning immediately,and continuing over the next twoor three years, funds should beraised by public subscription forthis project.

* * * *"In pursuing our investigation,

the committee has come upon nu-'merous items which need not bementioned in this report, for theyare more properly matters to beconsidered and decided upon by thehospital commission when it is es-tablished. There are, however,various related matters which wewish to mention by way of em-phasis.

"Mr. Davis, of the KelloggFoundation, Battle Creek, Michi-gan, paid a visit to our town re-cently and was very helpful to thecommittee in the information andadvice he supplied. In the pastone of the primary interests oftheir foundation has been in theestablishment of modern diagnosticfacilities—X-ray and Clinical Lab-oratories—in rural communitieswhere such had not previously beenavailable. Their belief is that theselaboratories are one of the big fac-tors in the improvement of medicalservices for a community. Thebuilding of any new and modernhospital should, of course, includesuch a laboratory, with arrange-ments for the part-time servicesof specialists in radiology andpathology in connection therewith.While no definite commitment canbe obtained until after the war, itis very probable that the KelloggFoundation would furnish thefunds to install and equip such alaboratory and pay any possibledeficit in its operation for a limitedterm. They have recently done justthat in connection with the newSouth Haven Community Hospital.

"The committee's estimate ofpopulation which should be norm-ally be considered as the Cass Citycommunity, is approximately12,000 persons. Accepted medicalstandards recommend hospital fa-cilities at the rate of about twobeds per 1,000 population. Wetherefore think that a hospitalhere should provide between 25 and30 beds to be adequate. While our

study of costs has been verysketchy, we have been advised by,Mr. Davis that the whole job should .be properly done on the scale wewould require, at a cost of approxi- jmately $4,000 per bed. In otherwords, this project will probablytotal about $125,000.

Other recent, construction aboutwhich we have inquired include a50-bed hospital in Mt. Pleasantcosting $420,000, for which theHarkness Foundation of New YorkCity appropriated about 80% ofthe cost, and a 60-bed hospital inMidland costing somewhat over$250,000, of which the federal gov-ernment assumed over 50% of thecost. As mentioned before, we be-lieve that outside assistance in fi-nancing our project, either fromgovernmental or private sources,will be available when we are readyas a community to submit ourplans and demonstrate our ownwillingness to participate to thereasonable extent of our ability, j

While it will be necessary that;financial participation in this proj-iect must be assumed by a verylarge percentage of the familiesin our community, each accordingto its ability to assist, we wish toemphasize the special tax savingsfeatures of such contributionswhich will warrant considerationat least by the larger contributors.According to present income laws,any person is permitted to deductfrom his income any contributionsto religious or charitable institu-tions, etc., up to 15% of his in-come. The type of hospital organi-zation we have recommended willso qualify, and contributions to itwill be thus deductible.

—Landing under cover of the booming guns of Americanwarships, U. S. army and marine forces swarmed ashore on Tarawa,Makin and Apamama in the Gilbert islands and pushed back the Japsin stiff fighting, amid coconut palms and jungle brush.

Midway between Hawaii and Australia, the Gilberts lie astride U. S.communication lines to the South Pacific area. Consisting of numerousislets, Tarawa, Makin and Apamama are fronted on their western sideswith sunken reefs, sandsplits and coral patches; but on the east, shipscan approach within a half-mile or mile from shore.

• As U. S. troops poured ashore, Japanese artillery sought to break uplanding formations. On the islets themselves, Jap machine gunnersoperated from pill box defenses hidden in the dense foliage againstadvancing U. S. infantry. v

DADS' DRAFT:Slowed Again

To President Roosevelt's desk forsignature went a senate-house billwhich would put all fathers in theU. S. at the bottom of the draft listby requiring the induction of alleligible single men first.

Approved by voice votes of bothlegislative chambers, the bill alsowould abolish the present practice ofdrafting men according to their em-ployment in essential and non-essen-tial industry classifications set upby the War Manpower commission.

The bill provides for the reviewof any occupational deferments bythe appeals board within the districtwhere the person works, and wouldestablish a special medical com-mission to study the possibility oflowering physical standards of theservices.

WHEAT:Loan Stocks Down

Through the second week of No-vember, ' 117,677,380 bushels of 1943wheat were under government loan,as the feed situation remained tightwith many areas in the corn belt un-able to*" produce sufficient stocks tomeet needs.

The loan figures compared with312,884,567 bushels held by the gov-ernment at the same time last year.Of the current stocks, 37,339,271bushels were on farms. With mar-ket prices at practically all termi-nals favorable for redemption, morethan 2% million bushels of 1943 loanshave been liquidated.

To counter the tight feed situa-tion, an Iowa State college bulletinsuggested marketing pigs at 200 to220 pounds this fall instead of 270pounds to assure maintenance of hognumbers next spring.

INDEPENDENCE:For Lebanon, Syria

Under League of Nations mandate,France was entrusted with supervi-sion over the smallcountries of Leba-non and Syria, tothe north of theHoly Land.

When Gen. Charlesde Gaulle's FreeFrench took overthese territories in1941 with Britishaid, they promisedtheir people theywould grant themindependence. Butwhen the Lebanesetook matters intotheir own hands re-cently and revisedtheir constitution toaccompl ish their

Gen. GeorgesCatroux

freedom, the Free French's residentsupervisor disbanded the govern-ment and placed the president andpremier under arrest.

Rioting ensued, and to Lebanon'sancient capital of Beirut flew FreeFrance's No. 1 trouble-shooter, Gen.Georges Catroux, Lebanon's offi-cials were released, and not onlyLebanon, but also Syria, was toldthat Free France would enter intonegotiations for their independence.

MEDITERRANEAN:Turkey in Picture

As the Allied attack slowed beforethe Nazis' strong mountain line some85 miles south of Rome, attention inthe Mediterranean area was focusedon the diplomatic front, where Tur-key maintained its delicate relationswith both sides.

Following conversations betweenrepresentatives of the two govern-ments in Cairo, Turkey reaffirmedher military alliance with GreatBritain, calling on either nation tohelp the other in case of attack inthe Mediterranean area. Turkey'sentrance into the war would give theAllies a stepping stone into easternGreece and eliminate complex seaoperations against the country, butthe question appeared to be whetherthe wily Turks would consider anAllied offensive as a protection oftheir interests, putting the allianceinto effect.

In Jugoslavia, guerrillas continuedvexing operations against Germancommunication lines and industriessupplying the Nazis with war ma-terials.

On the Continent, 1,000 RAF heavybombers struck at Berlin, firingevery section of the German capitalof 5,000,000, and disrupting gas,electricity and street car facilities.

CHINA:Japs Attack

Toward Hunan province's capitalof Changsha, two columns of a Jap-anese force of 80,000 men launcheda determined attack, making prog-ress in early fighting.

The attack marked the Japs'fourth major effort to take Chang-sha, the other campaigns failingwhen wily Chinese commandersstruck at the enemy's extended linesin the Siang valley to the north.

This time, however, the Japsmade every attempt to bull theirway through, massing men and ma-terial and using bombers to smashat Chinese defensive positions.

To counter the Jap attack, theChinese sprung a drive through themountains to the rear of the fight-ing, designed to relieve pressure ontheir main front.

WAR PRODUCTION:Experience Counts

Because of better management,greater effort by labor and moretrained workers, U. S. arms outputin October registered its biggestgain since last April, the War Pro-duction board said.

Stimulated by its experience, U. S.industry can now be expected tofunction at peak efficiency, WPB de-clared, with this efficiency mostlyaccounting for increases in produc-tion, since a limit has been practical-ly reached on material and man-power.

During October, WPB said, stresswas laid on output of aircraft, whichshowed a 10 per cent increase overSeptember; ships, up 5 per cent;ammunition, up 11 per cent, andcommunications equipment, includ-ing radar, up 9 per cent.

MORAL STANDARDS:i Demand High Level

To molders of public opinion, theFederal Council of the Churches ofChrist in America appealed for lead-ership in maintaining the highest sexstandards and impressing the dig-nity with which men and women areendowed as custodians of the home.

Protesting against the exploitationof material in newspapers and mag-azines which degrades thought andemotion, the council lashed againstthe portrayal of the human body inways detractive to the reverence inwhich men and women should beheld as creators of homes and guard-ians of the sacredness of family life.

Demanding strict enforcement oflaws against sexual promiscuity andcommercialized prostitution, thecouncil said venereal diseases haverendered "millions of American menand women unable to serve theircountry as they ought."

SenatorHarry Byrd

Almost two-thirds of the nation'sfarmers believe that manufacturingcompanies are making "excessiveprofits" on war orders, a survey tak-en by the Association of NationalAdvertisers reveals. Results of in-terviews of 2,800 typical farmers,divided into seven classes, showedthat 60 per cent think that profiteer-ing is going on, although 75 percent of the group are of the opinionthat industry is doing a "reasonablygood job." Seventy per cent statedthat labor could do better.

OIL:U. S. Offers Leases

: To capitalize on the 17,000,000 bar-rels of oil and gas underlying theCerritos channel between Los An-geles and Long Beach, Calif., theU. S. government invited private op-erators to submit bids for leasingprivileges to develop the properties.

Besides obtaining a bonus for useof the land, the U. S. will also re-ijceive a royalty of 16% per cent onproduction from the area. Underterms, 10 wells must be drilled toproduction within 12 months, andsix more within 18 months of deliv-

. ery of the lease.Highest bonus ever paid for drill-

ing oil on federal lands was $1,407,-500 for 2621/2 acres in the Elk basinfield in Wyoming.

U. S. PAYROLL:Lop Off 131,058

During the period from June toSeptember of this year, 131,058 em-ployees were loppedoff the federal pay-roll, Senator HarryF. Byrd, Va., re-vealed as chairmanof the joint economycommittee. This left2 , 9 6 4 , 4 0 5 still atwork for Uncle Sam.

The total dis-charged amountedto 157,997, but thefigure was broughtdown by the navy'semployment of 15,-314 new workers,and an increase oi7,920 in the post of-fice's personnel.

The war department trimmed itspayroll by 139,968; the War Man-power commission by 11,931; thePanama canal by 3,548, and the ag-riculture department by 2,550.

RUSSIA:Nazis Hit Back

Duplicating their tactics used atKharkov last winter, the Nazisstruck at the Reds' extended posi-tions at the important rail junctionof Zhitomir and hurled them back20 miles to the east in heavy fighting.

As Field Marshal Fritz von Mann-stein's 150,000 Nazi troops attackednear Zhitomir, the Russ sought toease pressure on their lines in thissector by intensifying their drive tothe north near Gomel, within 100miles of the old Polish border.

As the Nazi forces held fast to theiron and manganese centers of Kri-voi Rog and Nikopol in the south,the Reds probed the enemy's lineson either side of these strongholds,in an effort to find a weak spotfor a break-through.

Fighting Russian units on the eastcoast, the Nazis clung to the Crimea,which dominates the Black sea.

W^RLOAN:To Begin 4th Drive

With the third war loan drive wellover its goal of 15 billion dollars,the U. S. treasury announced plansfor a fourth drive beginning Janu-ary 18.

Although the 14 billion dollar goalof the new drive is below the lastmark, individual investors will beasked to contribute 5% billion dol-lars, more than they were requestedto do during the third campaign.

To meet investment requirements,savings deposit departments of com-mercial banks will be allowed to pur-chase limited quantities of a 2Vz percent issue maturing in 1970, and a2a/4 per cent security due in 1959.

To sell as many securities as pos-sible with current purchasing pow-er, the government will ask banks torefrain from loaning money forspeculative purchases.

Mastitis, or inflammation of the ud-der of milking cows, can now be con-trolled and in most cases cured, saysO. W. Schlam in "Bovine Mastitis,"a late pamphlet published by theUniversity of California. Two typesof mastitis are recognized, says Mr.Schlam, who is an assistant profes-sor of veterinarian science. The twoare the acute, which is comparative-ly rare, and the chronic, which isso common among dairy herds ofthe world that it is considered themost serious bovine disease, result-ing in lowered milk production. Itis often a hidden disease, and mayexist for a long time without beingnoticed. Symptoms are swelling ofthe udder, and visible particles inthe first streams of milk, and eventu-ally reduced flow.

The disease is caused by infectionof the udder with a bacteria calledstreptococcus agalactiae. It does notaffect any organ but the milk glands.The germs enter through the teat,and are transmitted from infectedcows to healthy animals by thehands of a milker or the cups of amachine. To some extent, the dis-ease is spread by calves that suckat several cows, and by muddy andunsanitary corrals and flies. It isestimated that about 85 per cent ofall cows that have been once infect-ed harbor the disease, and that itmay become virulent at any timeand cause garget (clotted milk).

The severity of the disease, saysMr, Schlam, depends upon such ag-gravating factors as incompletemilking, improper drying off, exces-sive vacuum in milking machines,and exposure to rain and cold.

Diagnosing mastitis is difficult forthe amateur, unless symptoms areso severe as to be obvious, so Mr.Schlam advises having regular andfrequent tests made of all the cowsin a herd. Microscopic examination

Chronic mastitis is spread amonga herd by the milker's hands orthe cups of the milking machine andto a lesser extent by fiies0

of milk samples is the easiest andcheapest way. Cows should then begrouped, he says, into (1) free ofinfection, (2) suspected, (3) positive-ly infected. Group 1 cows should bemilked first, group 2 next, and group3 last.

JtJp to a few years ago/ mastitiswas considered incurable, but sulfan-ilimide has been found effective intreatment, and three other drugs,neutral acriflavine, colloidal silveroxide, and tyrothricin have provedcompletely successful in ordinarycases. These drugs are injected intothe infected parts. All but the mostsevere cases respond.

After infection has been removed,t*>e udder will show a tendency torebuild itself, and milk productionmay become normal. Treatmentduring dry periods is preferable ingeneral.

Farm NotesFor safe storage of grain, the

moisture content should not be morethan 14 per cent, say experts.

* * *Every farmer who possibly can is

urged to cut a few cords of pulp-wood or a few logs of lumber thisfall during his spare time. Warindustries are calling for tremendousamounts of wood products, says R.W. Graeber, extension forester atN. Carolina State college.

* * *Aralac, a new synthetic fiber,

has some of the properties of wool.Another new clothing material ismade from a combination of fibersfrom redwood tree bark and wool,and a soybean fiber now being usedin making hats. A new cotton cloth,not yet on the market, is said to beas durable as woolen fabric.

* * *Grasses and legumes make good

silage when ensiled under suitableconditions and when preservativesare added in adequate amounts.

* * *

Every victory garden should haveat least a few flowers. The lift theygive to the spirit justifies them.

At least 20 million pounds of hon-ey have been added to this year'shoney crop recently because theweather was sunny while sweet clo-ver was in bloom in northern states.

Learn Your Journalism,Printing at Adrian

A d r i a n , Mich. — Outstandingamong schools that teach journal-ism and the printing arts is theAdrian College Press equipment,which actually produces one weeklymagazine (24 pages, with color),several monthly publications, ascore of booklets and leaflets everyweek, and a large number of com-mercial catalogs, bulletins, and in-stitutional prints, annually.

"Self Help Students" at Adrian,who wish to work their waythrough college by such practicalemployment, thus study their theorywithin sound of the tinkling lino-types and pounding cylinder presses,which they operate, outside of classhours, for a goodly hourly wage.

They have actual experience intype-setting, paper-cutting, page-makeup, printing make-ready, com-mercial job work and cylinder presswork. They read galley and pressproofs actually in process. Those

training for editorial desks, actuallywrite and edit copy for the "Col-lege World" eight page newspaper,report for the local Adrian DailyTelegram (circulation, 16,000), andplan printing campaigns for localbusiness.

George E. Miller, former editor-in-chief of the Detroit News, andone of Michigan's most nationallyknown editors, was an Adrian stu-dent, from a nearby farm home.J. S. Gray, publisher of the Mon-roe News, and Donald Frazier, man-aging editor of Adrian -Telegram,were Adrian students. John F.Cowan, editor of the Christian En-deavor World magazine, listed inWho's Who as author of 16 books,and Lyman E. Davis, founder of theEecorder publications for the Meth-odist Protestant Church, wereAdrian graduates. A steady streamof Adrian students win their wayin journalism and printing fields.

The unique advantage at AdrianCollege for all such ambitious onesis Adrian's "guaranteed working•chance" at a Christian college edu-cation, whereby boys and girls earaas they learn, and get practical ex-perience, in their chosen line, righton the college campus. Only a fewof the largest universities have aprinting plant to compare withAdrian.

Adrian CooperativeTeaches Economics

Adrian, Mich. — What bettercourses on "home economics" couldany college furnish than practicalexperience in managing and operat-ing the college "commons" or din-ing-hall, the dormitories, and thehousekeeping routine for both?

Every college or university sup-plies plenty of textbook "theory"for this course, but at Adrian Col-lege, . the wartime problems andhandicaps have been put to practicaluse for scores of young men andwomen in the "co-operative" eatingand dormitory plan.

Tons of produce, groceries andmeats have to be purchased andprocessed, budgeted and served, bystudent members. Dormitory sup-plies and the daily routine has tobe carried on by self-help-students,anxious to work their way throughcollege.

Students prepare the food, servethe food, plan the menus, and bud-get the supplies. Rebates paid backto cash customers, as a result of this

economy, proves good management,and economical buying, and a self-serving efficiency, even when war-tune prices are skyrocketing.

This is the first major coopera-tive enterprise on the Adriancampus, but it was worked so suc-cessfully, so educationally for allconcerned, that other coop plansare now being charted. An official"board" solves all the difficult prob-lems, A faculty member presidesat each commons' table. Workschedules for students must fit in.with curricular schedules. Onlyone matron, Mrs. V. L. Furbush, isrequired for full time service.Adrian College students have theunique experience of really helpingthemselves, by the characteristic-"Adrian Self Help Plan."

PLAN ADOPTED TOINSURE EQUITABLEDISTRIBUTION OF COAL

Concluded from page 1.have a supply of coal on hand),who is to honor it as a priorityand give it precedence in deliveryover non-emergency orders.

Mr. Kern pointed out that thestrength of the plan is that itplaces in one central independentagency the responsibility for deter-mining in individual cases if thereis a genuine need for coal and ifthe householder has been balked inhis effort to secure a supply. Oneclause of the certificate of neces-sity requires the applicant to per-mit investigation by the agent todetermine whether his supply isas low as he claims it to be.

A consensus of opinion amongthe dealers present at the meetingwas that the plan had considerablemerit for both consumer and deal-er. A mutual benefit was seen inthe fact that one copy of the ap-plication goes to Lansing, and atabulation of such requests shouldprovide the officer responsible forstate fuel distribution with a sen-sitive check on localities wheresupplies are dangerously low.

Pointing to this last feature,several dealers admitted that noteven the most urgent plea for fuelcould be met until carloads orderedlong ago but still undelivered werereceived to replenish their emptybins.

Upon the suggestiofi of the coaldealer, the county O. C. D. wasasked to select the agents for eachcommunity and district, and it wasdecided that these should be themayors and supervisors who weresent formal appointments acquaint-ing them with their duties and ofthe plan's method of operationpending distribution of supplies ofcertificates of necessity when thefirst applications may be accepted.
