Make good use of the driedfruits like prunes and apricots forthey have excellent vitamin andmineral values.

Found in AfricaGreat Trunks Preserved in

Stone fire Described byExpedition Leader.

NEW YORK.—A remarkable pet-rified forest has been discovered insouthwest Africa's Kaokoveld byDr. Charles L. Camp, leader of thescientific expedition of University ofChicago.

1 Dr. Camp heads a scientific sa-fari that is seeking new light on theorigins of mankind through excava-tions in limestone caves and thestudy of fossilized remains of aman-like creature turned up earlylast year near Johannesburg, SouthAfrica.

Dr. Camp reported that he wasguided to a plateau in the adjoiningterritory of southwest Africa where,he found the remains of ancient;

trees turned to stone and preserved:in the rocks for more than a hun-dred million years. The logs, hesaid, are in consolidated "Karroo"river gravels that extend out frombeneath a volcanic mountain.

Some of the trunks measure morethan 100 feet in length and up to 5%;feet in diameter through theirbases. Details of the original struc-ture of the wood, the annual rings,the woody cells and fibers, the knot-holes and even the borings of an-cient insects beneath the bark couldbe seen clearly. The wood, Dr»Camp said, has been replaced byagate and other siliceous material.;Some of the trunks also showed sec- itions filled with limestone.

Stone-Age Tools.There were more than fifty well-

preserved logs on an area of lessthan 20 acres. Many more extendedover the adjacent ground. There the,native inhabitants of long ago fash-ioned their stone tools from theagatized wood and some of theseimplements were left strewn about, i

A local farmer, Jan H. Oberhol-lzer, had noticed the wood frag-!ments below the log plateau andasked Dr. Camp to inspect themwhile he was hunting fossils in the.region of Franzfontein. Dr. Camp;followed the fragments up to the!plateau and there discovered theforest. j

The trunks were remarkably!straight and tapered very slightly!in the first 100' feet, so that most of jthe limbs were carried at the crown jas in some of the modern arauca-jrian pines, Dr. Camp reported. One)trunk, 118 feet long, was 4% feet in jdiameter at the base and 16 inchesin diameter at the upper, brokenend.

Dr. Camp deduced that the trunksevidently had drifted into sandbarsin the rivers and had been cement-ed into place when the rock solidi-fied. Then heavy masses of sedi-ment were carried in and depositedabove, causing some of the logs tobecome slightly flattened.

Spectacular Setting1.Colors of the agatized wood, not

quite so brilliant and varied as inthe famous petrified forests of Ari-zona, were black, yellow, brown andred and the silicified parts weregenerally yellow, brown and gray,Dr. Camp reported. He said that ayellow mineral covered some ot thesmaller logs.

"The setting of the Franzfonteinforest is spectacular," Dr. Campwrote, "and the whole situationmost unusual and instructive as arecord of the earth ages ago, shortly •after great ice caps melted from!the lands of the Southern Hemi-jsphere." j

Emphasizing the danger of de-struction of the valuable find, Dr.Camp said that protection could be'afforded -by establishing a national >monument. j

White men, he said, now are en-itering for the first time this fossil iarea where roam the rhino, the'springbok, the gembok and other;game of the region. It abounds in!lion, zebra and jackals.

Scientists Will Study AtomEffects on Japanese Youth

PALO ALTO, CALIF.—Japanesechildren will be studied by Stanfordscientists for 10 years to see howtheir growth and reproduction hasbeen affected by the atomic bomb.

A number of children in bothHiroshima and Nagasaki were bad-ly burned and bear disfiguringscars.

Dr. William W. Gruelich, who re-cently returned from Japan, saidthat there was evidence from themultitude of young babies and preg-nant women that the blasts had nodetrimental effects on human fer-tility thus far.

Certified seed will help toguarantee a better crop, reportsNorris W. Wilber, county agricul-tural agent.

New varieties that are betteradapted to Michigan,growing con-ditions are continually beingdeveloped. The new varietiesmay be superior in other ways suchas higher yielding ability, improveddisease and insect resistance, betterquality, and better adaptation toharvesting by modern farm ma-chinery.

Seed of superior crop varieties isproduced by farmers of the statewho are members of the MichiganCrop Improvement Association.All the seed produced by thesefarmers is checked by field repre-isentatives of the association incooperation with the MichiganState college farm crops depart-ment. Certified seed must be ofhigh quality in regard to suchthings as germination, purity,freedom from weed seeds, grading,and appearance.

Agent Wilber can furnish thenames of growers who can supply jcertified seeds of various crops.

Varieties recommended for thisarea for various crops include:

Oats: Eaton, Huron, Marion.Barley: Bay, Wisconsin No. 38.Field Beans: Michelite, Robust.Corn: Northwest of Cass River

on most fertile soils: Michigan36B; Pioneer 355, 373, 359, 370.Kingscrost KS6 or KN1; Master60; Hoosier-Crost 112A; Funk'sG1A; Ohio M15; Ohio M34; Funk'sG177; Pfister 274; DeKalb 240 or404A.

Corn: Southeast of Cass River onthe best soils: Kingscrost KS2;Michigan 51B; Kingscrost D4.

Too many farmers buy varietiesthat ripen too late. Ask for anearlier corn.

No Better Time toSlaughter Than Now

Now is the time to round up thatsteer you've been fattening allwinter or to select the hog youwant for your summer meat sup-ply.

E. D. Farwell, animal husbandryspecialist at Michigan State col-lege, warns that farmers shouldn'twait until it is too warm to keepfresh meat without spoilage. Withspring not far away, and the plan-ting rush that conies with it, thereis no better time to slaughter thannow-

Each farm family should have

about 150 pounds of meat per mem-ber per year and plans should bemade to store half of that supplynow. A 220 pound hog will yield170 to 180 pounds of pork, a 1,000pound steer will supply 550 to 600pounds of beef, and a 100 poundlamb will yield about 50 pounds oflamb. Selection of young healthylivestock in good flesh is best,since their meat is more tenderthan meat from aged livestock.

By Gene AllemanGovernor Kim Sigler, now an

avowed candidate for re-election,believes that Michigan must renewits efforts to "sell Michigan.'1'

In a Line©M Day address atMuskegon, Sigler warned that thestate' f aeed industrial and touristcompetition from the South. Itwould pay Michigan people, hesaid, to be "mindful of that whichhas wade ^rs great."

The South's competition , foxindustry is. best illustrated byFlorida which has no state incometax, no 'State sales tax, no tax onhomesteads under $5,000 valuation,no state realty tax and :no rstatebonded debt.

"These fortunate and attractivesafeguards will be maintained,"observed the Tampa FloridaMorning Tribune recently, "becauseoverwhelming public sentiment willprevent the imposition of: any newtaxes."

The same newspaper points outthat Florida had the third;greatestincrease in individual income in thenation during the period 1940-1947and that its population gain was 18per cent, exceeded only 'by 10states.

Governor Sigler visited Floridaprior to his return to Michigan,following a month's rest in theSouth.

It may be assumed that GovernorSigler, during the 1948 campaign,will express his current views onthe subject of taxation.

Dull as this topic traditionallyis, it is pertinent to the future ofindustry in Michigan. Burdensometaxes, levied by a legislature seek-ing its way out of the sales taxdiversion dilemma, could readilyspeed up the decentralization trendvoiced recently by Henry Ford II.Ford thinks the company employstoo many people at River Rougefor production efficiency.

One year ago Sigler was opposedto imposition of new taxes. Instead,he favored repeal of the sales taxdiversion amendment, an accom-plishment now conceded to be verydifficult to attain.

The 1947 Bonine-Tripp labor act,a state companion law to thefederal Taft-Hartley act, mayprove to be a deterrent to industrymigration from Michigan.

If either or both of these lawsdiscourage costly labor strikes andencourage friendly labor-manage-ment relations, much will be ac-complished. Michigan still has abad reputation, like Chicago forgangsters, of being the hotbed oflabor agitators. People still remem-ber the sitdown strikes in Michi-gan.

Nature richly endowed Michiganwith natural resources, readilytransported by water or railroad tobe processed into consumer andcapital goods. Man can safeguardthis blessing by assuring freedomfrom discriminatory taxes, freedomto work, and freedom of competi-tion. Surely these are among thereasons why Michigan enjoys itspresent greatness.

Ancient IndustryIce has been used by man since

before history began. The Romans,in 50 B.C., dug snow from mountain-sides and packed it in deep pits,covered with straw and tree prun-ings, to be cut out later for refrig-eration purposes.

For a MomentBy

M. J. COLLINS

old ground hog was uneasy.Every few seconds she would

stand upright, her bright eyessearching continually for the everexpected danger from some quar-ter. Each time the close scrutinysatisfied her and she would dropdown and resume greedily eatingthe tender leaves of the young redclover. She was thin and shaggy.The three young groundhogs, eatingthe clover even more greedily thanshe, were the reason. This was thefirst time she had brought them upfrom the soft nest deep in the earth.The young ones reveled in the warmsunshine and the strange taste ofwhat they were eating. They rangedfarther away from their mother andthe safety of the burrow unawarethat 'danger lurked nearby.

A couple of noisy crows wingeditheir way .overhead but the oldgroundhog didn't pay them theslightest attention. She knew theyweren't ihawks who would bring;death winging swiftly out of the sky»for iher young. She was getting full,yet she ate on, her stomach startingto swell. A familiar sound jerkediher upright and little quivers ofdeathly fear lanced through hersmall brain. The dog, her implaca-ble enemy, was bounding tfown thefield. He saw the red-chested

groundhog andraced toward her.With a s h r i l lwhistle she scur-ried towards herb u r r o w , h e r

brood close at her rump. As heryoung nuzzled, the shrill yapping ofthe dog penetrated clearly to her.

"Listen to that fool pup yappin'•his head off down by the creek.Hasn't got a brain in his head.Never be as good as his mother."The slatternly-looking woman leanedin the cabin door, ready to find faultwith anything.

"Yeah," her husband answeredslowly, "She was all right, too badshe had to get killed on the railroad.Maybe I should get the .22 and godown and see what he's up to. Ifthere's any groundhogs down therethey'll be eatin' the heart out of theyoung clover."

•"I'll go down, Dad" their youngson cried. He grabbed a stick. "Bethe's got a big one cornered downthere."

Tad ran along by the-*• stump fence until he reached the

clover field. Climbing up on a stumphe could see the pup down at theother end near the creek jumpingaround a small stonepile and bark-ing furiously.

"Bet he has one," he said aloudand started to run.

"What you got, Tippy?" Droppingon his stomach, he could see agroundhog crouched in between thesafety of two large stones. Tadpoked his stick in as far as he couldbut the groundhog only retreatedfurther.

"Sic him! Get him out, Tip," heurged the excited pup.

"Guess we'll have to move someof these stones for you. Watch outnow, or you'll get hurt." Tad beganthrowing stones aside. "Watch him,Tip." The pup saw the younggroundhog and pounced on it sav-agely. For a few seconds he had a

Nearly 850 Milesof Tuscola HighwaysNeed Improvements

Nearly 850 miles of city streets,county roads and .state trunk high-ways in Tuscola County aredangerous, congested or otherwiseunfit to meet present trafficdemands and should be improved ata cost of $10,515,700, the MichiganHighway Study has revealed.

The needs were among thosej listed by cities and villages repre-jsenting 87 per cent of the urban| population, by all of the 83 countiesand by the state highway depart-ment for roads and streets undertheir respective jurisdictions.

loose grip on it but the groundhogsnapped back wickedly and with asurprised yipe the ' pup jumpedaway. The groundhog raced as fastas its short legs would go towardsthe safety of its burrow.

"Get it! Get it!" Tad screamedhoarsely with excitement. "Gethim, boy!"

The pup was after it like a flash,his courage renewed. The escape ofthe groundhog was cut off only afew yards from safety. Urged on byTad, the pup worried it but circledfar enough out to be safe from thosesnapping teeth.

Suddenly the pup darted in andgrabbed the groundhog by the backof the neck and shook him vigorous-ly. The young groundhog gave afrightened little whistle.

Then something all snapping teeth,large and frightening, came tearing atthe pup out of nowhere. Long sharpfangs sank cruelly into his rump. Witha terrified yelp he dropped his victimand hightailed it for the house.

Herding the groggy, frightenedyoung one ahead of her, the oldgroundhog disappeared down theburrow with a mocking, triumphantwhistle.

Readjustment MayBe Similar to 2(Fs

Recent drops in the commoditymarkets, particularly in wheat andcorn, have prompted many farmersto wonder if we are headed for arecession or a depression.

Arthur Mauch, agriculturaleconomist, points out that it'snecessary to examine the facts be-fore making a decision. Pricedeclines have been noted in anumber of commodities for sometime. Fruit prices in the U. S.continued to drop for the fourthconsecutive month. For sometime now hay, potatoes, apples, jchickens, eggs and wool have beenselling for less than parity. Theprice of some industrial goods hasbeen declining, too.

While grain has declined ratherrapidly, farmers should remember ;that grain still is not cheap. Prices iof corn and wheat still run higher |than a year ago. Livestock feeders iand dairy farmers will welcome 'lower grain prices that will make jfeeding rations more favorable.

Future economic developmentsdepend to a great extent on the r |titude of the people. Mauch ad- jvises that "fear psychology"' that jmakes people buy and sell without ithinking could result in a serious !

depression. Good judgment and isound business planning can help jto prevent such a drastic result, jPresent indications are that the ireadjustment may be similar to the I1920's when agriculture sufferedprice declines while general busi-ness conditions were relatively jgood. }

Despite future developments, therecent changes in price show whatcan happen to prices in a shortperiod of time. .The MSCeconomist believes the best planfor the farmer to follow is one thathelps him to absorb the shock ofrapid price declines with the leastpossible loss and hardship.

When you buy lamb chops forbroiling, select some that are two-third to two inches thick. If theyare any thinner, they dry out tooreadily before they are entirelycooked.

A well-cooked roast deserves arest period of about 30 minutesbefore coming to the table. The roastwill be much easier to carve inuniform slices if it stands a bit.

Ham 'n cornbread go a long waytoward making any meal a suc-cess. Add finely diced ham to corn-bread batter before baking. Servewith salads, soups and souffles fora flavor-bright combination.

A never-to-be-forgotten rule whenbaking cakes, is to allow all theingredients, especially the fat, eggsand liquid to come to room tempera-ture before mixing. Their "com-binability" is increased tremen-dously and the texture of the cakeimproved.

"Sandy," admonished a brutallyfrank acquaintance, "why do youcarry on so? The old man was aregular torment to everybody, andyou know, down deep in your heart,you're glad he's gone."

"That I am," admitted Sandy."It's cruel to admit it, but it's true."

"You're not thinking he suffered,when, he took off, are you? He justturned on the gas and went to sleep.So what's eating on you?"

"Mon, oh, mon," groaned Sandy,"just look at this terrible gas billthe old coot left me!"

Sugar beets tend to increase the productivity of the land by meansof a deep root action. The root system of every beet pushes intothe subsoil, far beneath the depth reached by a plow—sometimesas much as four or five feet.

When the main root is pulled for harvest, thousands of smallerlateral roots remain in the soil. Actually, for every ten tons ofbeets harvested, about one ton of lateral roots per acre is left inthe ground. When these rootlets decompose,

—they supply valuable organic matter for following crops.

—they leave millions upon millions of tiny tunnels in every acre,permitting circulation of air and water, and efficient use of plantfood necessary for high yields in any crop.

When planted in rotation with shallow-rooted crops, sugar beetsbalance the crop rotation. This is the basis of good farming! More-over, the intensive cultivation of sugar beets reduces weed infes-tation. And the high profit from the crop permits growers to uselarge amounts of fertilizer, some of which remains in the soil tobenefit succeeding crops.

PRICE SHOULD Bi HIGH THIS YEAR IThe Sugar Act of 1948 contains provisions for stabilizing the price

of sugar. Based on expected sugar, pulp and molasses prices, beetstesting 16 per cent sugar will bring about $15.45 per ton. Andthat's not counting the feed value of beet tops.

ACREAGE ALLOTMENTS IN 1949?Individual farm acreage allotments are almost certain to be re-enacted next year. Provision for them is made in the new SugarAct. If Michigan farmers do not maintain their production historyby planting an adequate acreage in 1948, the allotment for theirfarms will be reduced and given to other farms that have been

<&>

increasing their acreage. Let's protect and improve the record bygrowing as many sugar beets as possible.

So the question for growers this year is not whether to plantsugar l?eets, but how many acres to plant. Order your fertilizerfrom your dealer now.

What Hospitalized Veterans NeedBell Syndicate.—WNU Features.

"They let me hold the baby while they did the dishes."

By KATHLEEN NORRIS 1

A FEW weeks ago, in amidwestern city, I wasgiven a lift to my hotel

by a charming young matronwho apologized for the crumbs^and peanut shells that litteredthe back of her car.

"The boys love them,*' sheexplained.

"The boys?""Soldiers/' she said. "Boys

from the hospital. Life cases.""But—breacl and peanuts?""Oh, those," she said laughing.

"Those are for the ducks and theelephants. They feed them, at thezoo."

That was all I heard then. Therest I got at the hospital itself, fromthe superintendent of nurses.

"Little Mrs. Brown," she said."Yes, she is very faithful. Thereought to be a hundred like her. Butshe is the only one.

"She is the only one," the nursewent on, "who comes regularly andtakes our boys driving. She takesthem where they want to go, to seethe sights from the mountain, or outto the zoo and the lake. If they wantto see a special show, she takesthem there. Christmas Day she andher husband — himself wearing aPurple Heart—had three to dinner;they played pencil games afterward,and the lucky three haven't stoppedtalking about it yet.

"I don't have to tell you,"^ saidnurse Williams, "that the authori-ties and the Red Cross do every-thing they can. But that is imper-sonal, of course. A boy is taken tothe dentist, or a block of opera orconcert tickets are carefully dis-tributed. Magazines are sent in,Christmas is well-remembered. Butall that is impersonal, and you don'tknow how these boys hunger forpersonal contacts. Why, Mrs. Browntells me that sometimes they are allchattering together, like children.

Happier in Hospitals."You see, lots of our boys are so

maimed or so disfigured that theydon't want to go home. The contrastbetween whait ithey were—young andstrong and happy, Just a few yearsago—and what they are now--blind,lame, gainful to look upon—is toomuch for them. They come back tothe hospital on some pretext, an-other operation, more treatments;they are happier here. But they longfor friends, friends who never knewthem in the old days, friendi v»J»will take them as they are.

"We have one boy here who oftenis asked to one of the humblesthomes of the city for a Sunday din-ner. A humble home, yes, but witha mother and father and boys andgirls in it. They make him one ofthem for just a few happy hoursevery week, he knows they like him.The first time he went he cameback breathless. 'They let me holdthe baby" while they did the dishes/he said, over and over. Everyone inthe hospital knew tha^ these goodplain people trusted him, and thatthe baby wasn't frightened by thepoor patched face."

After our talk, Mrs. Williams letme look into a ward. But I couldn'tstand that long. It wasn't that theboys were dreadful or frightening,nothing like that. It was that theywere so normal, just lonely boysamusing themselves with old magazines, games and the radio. Thinwistful boys, bandaged boys, philo-sophical boys and embittered boys.

They g*ve no much . . ."

SMALL FAVORSWhile veterans in govern-

ment hospitals receive excel-lent medical care, good foodand clothing, they have otherneeds that no institution canprovide. This is a chance toenjoy normal human contracts—trips to the movies and parks,dinners in happy homes. It isup to the people living withinreach of these hospitals to dowhat they can to make the lotof tjbese heroic young meneasier, says Miss Norris,

In a recent visit to a mid-western city she met a womanwho was doing her part. Thi$young matrpn goes regu-larly to the hospital, takes themen out in her car for longdrives to parks, zoos, nearbylakes and mountains. But sheis the only one that comes, thehead nurse told Miss Norris.

Nearly every woman coulddo something for these menwho have lost so much, con-tinues Miss Norris. They ap-preciate small favors, littlepleasures that almost anyonecan provide. An invitation todinner on a holiday, a ticket toa play or concert, a chance toparticipate in a family gather-ing, will relieve the monotonyof their lives. It is not all oneway, either, concludes MissNorris. There is a rich satis-faction in conferring small fa-vors on these homeless veterans.

They have given more, for us andour safety, than those who fell. Theyrisked their lives for us, and thoughthose lives were nojt taken, theywere as surely destroyed as if theyhad been. And now we forget them.

Take Care of One or Two.Near you, there is very probably

a hospital for maimed and invalidedmen. This is not a request that youattempt to amuse the hundreds ofthem, still in their glorious twenties,who are whiling away the long daysand weeks as mere names oncharts; their hopes, their futuresgone. As hundreds, as a mass, theyhave good food, care, clothes, every-thing that organization can do. Butas individual men they long for per-sonal contacts, for friendship insome home where their own per-sonalities can find a little expres-sion. Their enthusiasm for even thesimplest sort of home life will touchyou to the heart. Their gratitude forfriendship—which, after all, is oneof the priceless and precious thingsof life—will repay you a thousandtimes over for every minute yougive them.

No, don't attempt to do it for hun-dreds, do it for two. Do it for one.Ask the head nurse for one who isconvalescent, whose term in theward is nearly up, if you like. Then,if the experiment is not a success,you know he soon will be dischargedfrom the hospital anyway. By thattime you'll know a few more, you'llhave found the one who needs justwhat your family can give him, andwhom you n«ed.

If you've a vacant chair, let himfill it. While these boys are hospital-ized and friendless and lonely thatvacant chair «t your table and mineis surely an unspoken rebuke.

Strange Lizards ExhibitedLizards that walk on water and

three-toed sloths are the oddest new-comers to the Chicago zoo. The liz-ards, about two feet long, are basi-lisk lizards which have a sort oiskimming walk as they travel overthe water. They live in trees andalong the banks of streams in Cen-tral America.

Sloths, the "upside-down ani-mals," come hi both two-toed andthree-toed varieties. But the three-toed ones are the more rare speci-mens.

'TpHE sound of a ragman's horn•*• came in the open window of the

room, where, with housewifely zeal,Nancy Winters was busy withspring house-cleaning.

A gleam came into her eyes. Shethought, "I'll give him that pile ofmagazines Ted has in the garageand all those pop bottles he is al-ways promising to take away, butnever does. I'm tired of having themaround."

The ragman looked around hope-fully as he loaded the bottles andmagazines on his rickety old truck.

"Any olda clothes, Ma'am?" heasked. "Any olda rubber or iron?"

"No, that's all . . . wait a min-ute." She darted into the garage, re-turning with a pair of old grey trou-sers. "Here, you may as well takethese, too."

She gave her husband a particu-larly warm kiss when he came

home that eve-ning. "I'm almostdead," she sighedas they were eat-ing dinner. "At jfirst I thought I

would open a can of soup or some-thing easy to prepare, but then Iremembered how nice you were, soI made you this meat pie and up-side-down cake." Tjius she tried topave the way to tell him what shehad done.

"It beats me why you have to killyourself, trying to do everything inone day," Ted answered. "Thehouse always looks all fight to mewithout you having to tear it apartevery so often. Thanks for the swelldinner, Honey. Guess I'll work onthe car for awhile."

'That reminds me," she inter-rupted hastily. "A ragman came bytoday and I let him take those popbottles and magazines out in thegarage."

"You what!""And I let him take those dirty

old pants out there too," she rushedon. .

"You mean you gave those pantsaway!" Ted shouted. "Those pants hadfifty dollars in the pocket."

"Ted! They didn't.""They did unless you took it out.

Did you?""Of course not. It never occurred

to me. . . . Oh, Ted! What have Idone?"

"Gave away your birthday gift,that's all. I've been saving all yearto buy that wrist watch you wanted.I thought I had found a safe hidingplace in those pants. Perhaps wecan get it back. Did you notice aname on the truck?"

"The old lady doesn't speak or understand English." A dark-eyed boycame from the back of the house."You wanta buy something, Mister,or have you got something youwanta sell?"

SIR Herbert Beerbohm Tree, Eng-;lish actor and manager, was in-j

jterested only in the artistic merit ofjjhis productions. To achieve a de-l^sired effect, he spent money lavish-;,ly. On one occasion, he spent such!huge sums that his backers pro-]tested vigorously. They threat-)ened to withdraw their financial sup-jport unless he cut expenses imme-idiately. Faced with this ultimatum,!Tree looked about desperately for ajway to effect economies.

For two days he went over thescript with a fine comb. Finally hecame up with a bright idea. Itwasn't much of a saving, but it wasthe only thing he could think of. Andwhat was this brain storm of econ-omy? In the third act, one of bisactors came on stage carrying a'three cent newspaper under his arm.!Tree ordered him to carry a onecent paper.

The diner in the cafeteria rushedover to the manager. "I've beenrobbed" screamed the customer."Somebody stole my topcoat. It was

:« brown coat, with raglan sleeves."| "Hmmmmmm," mused the man-ager, "now that you mention it, I

j Just saw a guy walk out of here with!that very coat."

The customer looked hastily to-iward the door. "Quick, quick!" he(demanded. "What did the guy look! like?"j The manager shook his head.["Terrible," he returned. "TheI sleeve* were five inches too short!"

! How He Lost ItPete Gray, the one-armed ball

player, when an American leaguer,often was irked by people askinghim how he had lost his arm. Oneday after the game, an elderly ladyfan, solicitous and worried, startedasking Gray how he felt: was hetired, did he think he would makegood?—and a dozen other queries

i which he tried to shake off cour-•teously.; Finally the lady asked, "My son,ihow did you lose your arm?"• Gray did not hide his annoyance."An old lady in Brooklyn talked itoff me," he snarled as fafor a taxi.

Lice Inflict HeavyDamage on Cattle

DDT Treatment OyfsHigh Winter losses ^

; Lice are injurious to all types ofcattle. Animals produce less meat

. and milk if lice are -unchecked.: Young animals and poorly-nour-| ished old animals suffer most fromlice.

The winter season is the time licej are bad on cattle. The louse popula-tion builds up then. Dr. HaroldGunderson, extension entomologistat Iowa State college, says one louseunchecked in fall means 1,000 thefollowing March.

For lice control on cattle, DDT isbeing used successfully. Early infall, before cold weather arrives, itis mixed with water and sprayedon the animals. After cold weathercomes, a DDT dust is recommended.Farmers are being advised to use adust containing 10 per cent DDT.Some of the powdered louse killerson the market contain less than 10per cent DDT, but have other ef-fective insecticides combined withthe DDT.

The rotenone dusts recommendedfor cattle grub control can be usedfer lice control. Usually they arediluted for lice, to cover greaterarea and reduce the cost. For in-stance, one pound of a cattle grubdust containing 1% per cent rote-none can be mixed with two poundsof flour to make an effective lousekiller.

CINCE very few of us can select^ just where we want to live, andeven go a step further and designrooms the size they should reallybe, then we must do the next bestthing—use decorative effects eitherto make large rooms appearsmaller or small rooms*1 seemlarger., Just in case you've a desire to

wag your head and say that's im-possible, then consult decoratorswho are faced with these problemsevery day. It's true that you don'tmagically create space or lose it,but the effect can be changed.

When decorators' tricks are used,pleasant illusions are created andyou need not feel outsized in a roomthat is actually small, but made toappear spacious. Or, if the room islarge, you need not feel lost in it, ifit is at all properly furnished anddecorated.. First of all, if you have one or theother situation in your own home,and to an extreme degree, at that,remember you must go all out andfollow the recipe the decoratorsgive, or the effect will be lost.

You must take into considerationwalls, rugs, furniture and color aswell as pattern.

Avoid Small Things,Plainness in Large Boom

It's much easier to decorate alarge room than a small room, ifthe former seems a bit lofty andbarnlike* to you. There are manytricks to reduce the size of the roonjwhich has deep windows, high wallsand an enormbus floor area.

The first trick regards wallpaperor wall covering. Never use some-thing plain or with small pattems-orthey will stand out boldly and show

Scenic papers and striped onesiSre taboo. Scenic ones make thejheight of the room too apparent and\ striped papers bring out its depth.

Break up the large expanses of•wall space. This can be done withdados, a divided lower wall section.

And small rooms larger.

Plain painted or papered dados withfigured walls are especially good.

If you do not use the dado trick,have the ceiling come down on theside walls for 18 to 24 inches. Thismay terminate as a wood or decora-tive paper molding.

Use furniture in proper propor-tions to the room. The larger the

A foresighted designer, Lilli Annlooks forward to a rainy day withthis newer-than-new "rain dress"of dusty pink pinwale corduroy.Jeweled plastic buttons and jut-ting hip fullness are headline fash-Ion notes, weather or not. Thecorduroy is completely water-proofed.

« I _room, in other words, the moremassive may be its furniture.

Make certain the furniture is ar-ranged in nice groupings about theroom, not just scattered withoutplan to fill space.

Curtains or Venetian blinds arenot enough . for the windows. Youcan hold the room together muchbetter if you use floor length dra-peries.

Small Rooms Can LookSpacious and Serene

While the small room is more of aproblem, the cluttered appearanceand proportions easily will yield todecorative treatment. First, yourproblem will be one of removingeverything that is absolutely notessential. Get chests that will gounder beds or couches; do not stackthem in the room. Hassocks can bemade to contain various items, ascan a window seat or a couch.

Now, let's start on the room it-self. Use plain, solid-toned wall-paper and keep it light in color.Striped paper may be used to addheight, and so may small-patternedpaper. Avoid dark colors for wallsand ceiling. Repaint in lighter colorsif necessary.

Here is a good list of colors fromwhich to choose for the small room:Pale gray; light gray green; limegreen; light yellow; chalk blue;dead white; light cream, but notivory: beige, but not tan; dusty pinkor rose; pale coral, or mauve.

Naturally the choice of color willdepend upon the use for the room,but the list is large enough to takecare of any type of room, be it bed-room or living room.

Avoid Fussy Furniture,Cluttered Windows

Your furniture for the small roommay be delicate or very simple withgraceful lines if you choose modern.Scale the size of the furniture to fitthe proportions of the room.

Mirrors are wonderful for addingdepth to this type of room. Largepanels might be very effective be-tween windows. Or you might usethem to better advantage over thefireplace or even on a wall wherethe outdoors can be reflected. If youwant to use lightly tinted mirrors,this is perfectly proper.

However, never use mirrors withfussy edgings or highly decoratededges, as this will bring attentionto the size and shape of the mirror.

Sill length glass curtains of sheermaterial are excellent for your win-dows. If draperies are used, too,have them long and full, to the floor,but do not tie them back. Lacy netcurtains are another good choice.Venetian blinds, with or withoutdraperies and curtains, also may beused.

Wall to wall carpeting will add agreat deal of roominess to thisroom, while scatter rugs make itlook tiny and crowded. Any type ofpatterned rug also will crowd you.Textured broadloom or a monotoneof some type is best.

KEEPING IT STRAIGHT

If your candles are inclined towobble in their holders, melt someparaffin and pour it into the socket.Place the candle in the holder whilethe paraffin still is hot. This servesa double purpose—it keeps candlesstraight and prevents danger offire.

Whereas, for a number of yearstuberculosis and communicable dis-ease patients were sent from ourCounty, to Saginaw County Hospitalby reason of its convenient locationand the satisfactory and eeonomicalservice which was rendered to tkepatients, and

Whereas, During the last year thisservice, has been drastically curbedby reason that Saginaw County hadof necessity given preference to ad-mission of their own patients, and

Whereas, The present state sana-toriums are overcrowded and have along waiting list, and

'Whereas, The location of SaginawCounty Hospital is most advantag-eous to a large number of countiessurrounding Saginaw, and

Whereas, The State of Michigan hasa definite responsibility to protect thehomes of the community from tuber-culosis, and must offer every oppor-tunity for recovery from tuberculosisto its citizens, and

Whereas, This service could easilybe re-established by increase of theSaginaw County Hospital facilities byat least 50 beds, and

Whereas, The construction of thishospital addition would be but one-third of the cost if a complete newhospital were built, by reason that ex-isting hospital facilities will be ade-quate to take care of an additional 50patients and all that is needed is con-struction of hospital rooms, and

Whereas, The counties interested inSaginaw County Hospital additionexpect no special privileges from thestate except providing hospital roomsfor their patients, and

SPECIAL SESSION, 1947

DECEMBER 15, 1947Special meeting of -the Tuscola

County Board .of Supervisors held atthe Court House in the. Village ofCaro, December 15, 1947.

Meeting called to order by Chair-man Howard Slafter. Clerk called theroll with all Supervisors responding,except Supervisor Baker- of Vassarwho was ill at this time.

As the various Township Boardsand Village Councils of Tuscola Coun-ty were invited to attend this meet-

, ing, Chairman Slafter stated that thereason for this meeting was for thepurpose of discussing ways and meansof obtaining money for snow removalon Township Roads this coming win-ter.

The regular order of business takenup. Supervisor Mueller, Chairman ofthe Committee on Roads and Bridgespresented the following report: Mr.Chairman, Hon. Board of Supervisors.Gentlemen: Your Committee, theChairman of your Honorable Board,State Representative James Kirk metwith the Board of County Road Com-missioners at their regular meetingDecember 4.

At this meeting County Road mat-ters, foremost snow removal on coun-ty and township roads,' ways andmeans to finance same was the maintopic of our deliberation.

After careful checking County Roadfunds we find that Jan. 1, 1947 therewas on hand the sum of $135,202.45.Receipts to May 1, 1947, amounted to$81,336.80, making a total of $216,539.25.Average payroll, 54 hr. week $8,480.00every two weeks, total for year $220,-480. On Jan. 1 1948 there will be abalance of $100,000.00. Estimated in-come to May 1, 1948 $40,000.00 makinga total of $140,000.00, approximately$76,000.00 less than year ago.

Average payroll, 50 hr. week, everytwo weeks $9,000.00. Estimated pay-roll for year, 1948, $234,000.00

This decreased amount of money onhand is due to the fact that snow re-moval cost $75,000.00 last winter. Pay-

| rolls increased 103% since 1940. Thecost of material, supplies and equip-ment increased 65%. Temporary in-crease in revenue was only 5%%.

In the year 1945 and 1946 the Coun-ty Road Commission received approx-imate, $71,000.00 liquor tax money eachyear from the State. The State Legis-lature saw fit to take the liquor taxmoney away from the County RoadCommision and place same in theGeneral Fund of the State. A loss tothe. County Road Fund of $142,000.00.It was not the intention of the Legis-lature to take this 'money away fromthe Road Commission without replac-ing same from other sources.

Therefore the Legislature passed a:bill adding1 one cent to present 3-centgas tax. The revenue from this ad-ditional gas tax to be shared by theCounties, Cities and Villages of thestate for road and street purposes.The estimated amount to be receivedby the Tuscola County Road Com-mission was $73,000.00 each year.

This bill did not become law. Gov-ernor Kim Sigler did not sign the billwhich was intended by the Legisla-ture to give County Road Commis-sions, Cities and Villages approxi-mately the same amount of moneythey received from the liquor tax inthe years 1945 and 1946.

Had Gov. Sigler signed the gas taxbill, Counties, Cities and Villageswould have received about $12,000,000each year for road and street purposesin the years 1947 and 1948.

The people of Tuscola County arefacing a long winter with uncertainweather conditions, possibly muchsnow. We cannot afford to let theroads be clogged by snow and snowdrifts. It will hamper business andour normal way of life, school busses,food delivery trucks, milk trucks, mailcarriers, doctors, teachers, schoolchildren, business men, farmers,workers, and many others depend onopen roads in the winter time.

The protection of life and propertyagainst fire hazards, health and wel-fare of the people depend on openroads in the winter time.

To bring this matter before yourHonorable Body, your committee re-quested your Chairman to call a spec-ial session of the Board of Supervisorsfor Monday, Dec. 15, 10 a. m. for thepurpose of further • discussing thematter of financing' snow removal onCounty and Township roads this win-ter, and take such action as you maydeem necessary if you so desire.

It is the responsibility and duty ofthe County at large (Cities, Town-

ships and Villages) to provide the>necessary funds for County Road pur-poses, including snow removal.

Therefore your Committee also re-quested your Chairman to invite the-Mayor and Councilmen of the City ofVassar, all Village Presidents and:Councilmen of the several Villages insthe County, and all members ofTownship Boards of the Townships- inthe County to attend this special ses-sion and take part in our discussionand deliberations, and assist in solv-ing this problem. ^

Since Townships receive sales taxdiversion money, several Townships'have voluntarily pledged to pay intothe County Road fund the sum of $32,-500,00 to be matched by the CountyRoad Commission for maintenance,improving and draining roads in theirrespective Townships. Not only Tus-cola County but all Counties in theState are without sufficient funds to-plow snow this winter.

Therefore we trust' that you all will'give this matter of snow removal onCounty and Township roads yourserious consideration and co-operationand take such necessary action to-make it a success.

We recommend that the Chairman-of the County Finance Committeegive a detailed report of County Fi-nances and amounts of money re-ceived by the several units of Govern-ment in Tuscola County from th©-State.

All of which is respectfully submit-ted, Committee:

CONRAD MUELLERJ. N. McALPTNEFRED L. HENDERSON

Motion made by Supervisor Sylves-ter and supported by Supervisor Lau-rie that the report be accepted andplaced on the records. Motion car-ried. ,

Supervisor Dehmel, Chairman ofCommittee on County Finance report-ed as follows: Mr. Chairman, Hon.Board of Supervisors, Gentlemen:Your Committee on Finance beg^leave to submit the (following- finan-cial report of the condition of the gren-eral fund of Tuscola County. •

The general fund has a debit bal-ance of nearly $70,000.00 and it willhave reached $80,000.00 by January 1,1948.

The question arises, why has thegeneral fund a debit balance?
