Mrs Elizabeth Cutlett Passes Away

I J rtt Telephone Operator in Piack-nc) Dies H m at the Age of 82

Mrs. Elisabeth Cur'.ett, 82, died at her home here on Sunday, January II after an illness of several months, She suffered a fall on October 4, last, from which she did not recover. Lii: i week she contracted pneumonia which resulted in her death.

The deceased was the daughter of ths late Millard Darrow and Anne Eeriwhistle Darrow, pioneers of Liv­ingston county and was born in Pinckney on April 14, 1858 and at-t*>ided the old red school house and was one of the early pupils of the lute Prof. William A. Sprout, veteran Livingston county educator. Both of ner parents died when she was a young girl and she entered the drug store of the late Frank A. Sigler as a clerk. After a number of years here she took the state examination and became a registered pharmacist.

At this time the telephone began tc come in general use, the Michigan Bell Telephone Co. established an of.fice in the Frank Sigler drug htore in Pinckney and Mts. Curlett became the first telephone operator here. On April 13, 1887, she was united in marriage to William Curlett, a Dex­ter druggist. The marriage took place at the home of her sister, Mrs. Laura Sigler, Rev.Coddington of the Pinck­ney M. E. church officiating. At that time the Dexter Michigan Bell Tele­phone office was located in the Cur­lett store. The couple resided in Dex­ter where four children were born. Two did in infancy. Norma, after­wards Mrs. Raymond Litchfield died rr. June 3, 1926 and a son, Paul W. Curlett, is her only surviving child.

While living in Dexter Mrs.Curlett became affiliated with the Methodist church and was an active worker in the Ladies Aid Society for a period of 24 years. In 1911 Mr. Curlett sold his business there and the family moved to Pinckney. The latter passed away on May 31, 1926, just four days before the death of her daugh­ter, Norma.

Since ithen Mrs. Curlett made her home with her son, Paul W. Curlett. She transferred her membership from the Dexter to Pinckney AT. E. church and when the M E. and Con­gregational church consolidated to the Federated church. Until old age forced her retirement she continued to be an active church worker.

Surviving are her son, Paul W. Curlett editor of the Pinckney Dis-ratch, 2 granddaughters, Margaret and Paula. Margaret's mother died when she was two years old and she was taken and raised to womanhood b> the deceased. Also a sister, Mrs. Laura Sigler survives who is the la-st remaining of the eight children of Mi-lard end Anne Darrow.

01 a self sacrificing, gentle and religious nature she leaves a host of friends and relatives by whom she w'll be sincerely mourned.

The funeral will be held at the home Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 p.m., Rev. J. M. McLucas officiating. Burial was in the Pinckney came-ter> with 6 nephews of the deceased acting as pall bearers.

LegieJeturo Now Prepared to Get Dawn to Basin—•• Gov. Van

Wagoner's Platform U Ap­plauded Bat Thar, u Some

Douiyt M to lie Poeei-biHty.

The biennial legislative juggling act, appeasing pressure groups with more state aid while trying to bal­ance the budget, is going to be something to behold in 1941.

Gov. Murray D. Van Wagoner is confident that it can be done.

Jii fact, in his message to the state legislature he predicted boldly that the rising tide of prosperity in Mich­igan, plus increased efficiency in collection of taxes, would net a 25 oer ^ent increase in state revenues during the coming two years.

1 urthermore. iie «»«ir^d that a study of state finances had convin­ced him that *'at leadt 25 per cent" of the existing state deficit, now SL'!),<M)0,000, could be retired an-!

»<ually without curtailing "essential! sen ices."

All of this would be accomplished the state executivo explained, by a Li-partisan combination of "curtail­ing unnecessary expenditures" of some state agencies while other statf agencies spent more money for spe­cific public needs. Republicans Skeptical

That Republican leaders are skep­tical about the practibility of doing it all simultaneously is putting ft gently.

Some of them are even wondering if Governor Van Wagoner didn't as­tutely put the Repulican majority of and right behind the eight ball. They ere beginning to feel uncomfortable nbou: it; a few are downright re­sentful, labeling the Van Wagoner program "smprt politics."

Van Wagoner's message called for the following increases in state spending:

1. ''A nominal appropriation for state defense needs.

2. ''Funds should he made avail­able" for a public health program to hplp control cancer and social dis­eases, and otherwise match '•avail­able federal grants-in-a id."

3. "Needed funds" to help assist 7,000 crippled children and 20,000 afflicted children.

<». "Approximate funds necessary for equipping and operating state hospital facilities to their maximum crpacity," 5. Tensions for 30,000 persons, as well as aid for dependent child­ren and assistance to the blind. (The governor also said: "In the adminis­tration of thr social welfare pro­gram wasteful practises prevail, par-ticulorly in direct welfare. In one county administrative costs were 17 per cent of fthe total budget. This should not bo tolerated..") Mor« School Aid

6. "Definite state aid that will guarantee every boy and J?'1"' a *u" school year and every tearher a.full pay."

7. "A sufficient appropriation" to provide retirement pensions for non-teaching pmployees of our school system,

£. ''Full recognition should be piven to the financial requirements of the University of Michigan, the Michigan State College, the Michi­gan College of Mining and Techno­logy, and State Normal Colleges."

The usual grist 3t new. bills tt being introduced in the legislature, said bills are referred to cosszoitseas v here a large majority of them will remain and never again see the light uf day. The Americas^ people are strong on law passing*but weak an enforcement. For instance, a law is I»u>-ed and then fails to work for the reason that enfor^nent i* weak. In.-iirad of :orrecting tne enforce­ment the next legislature passes an-cth<r law and so on and so on. A number of bills of importance fcave hetin introduced. Senator HHftle of this district has again introduced his ui.'l 'that he failed to jjet enacted at tlio la at session.The bRs" abolishes the v.cU' liquor stores and establishes the vp<house rys'nj. The drug tores and other sellers of hard liquor vould get their liquor supplies here. Howc\er all liquor retailers ffeuW have to pay a $500 a year license fee. Rep. Warner of Ypsilanti will into the same bill into the house. Senator Hittle claims this law would save the state a half million dollars a year in cost of operation, rentals etc. It may all be so, but to our mimi the state liquor stores are tbe ino. t efficient and best operated an­gle or the ageless liquor problem which in all probabilities will never h0 settled to the satisfaction of everyone.

A hill also has been introduced to l /ike $800 a year the minimum \<ace for school teachers. This is ali.iei! to correct conditions in the rural districts of Michigan where a number of teachers are working for >>s. This is one more of the re-•nrctjons which are slowly but sure ly forcing the di«tri<*f school out of exiFtance. The number of these .el ool< grows smaller each year and *heir end is not far distant.

William Allen White, Kansas ed-ii.or, who has just retired from the chniimanship of the Committee to Aid the Allies, in a statement says that Ithere is npparently no middle ground in the war controversy rag­ing, in this country. That you must cithei be classed a, a war monger ot ai appp^ser, both epithets o f whJcil ore very unpopular. This narrowness of viewpoint seems to be getting wcrse. T!.e propaganda is not all Pritish either as one can see by rending the personal columns in the daily papers where for the past few months Anti-British letters Feem to p) ('dominate. These letters assert ih:it Great Britain is headed fof dis­aster and that the aid and munitions fir.-nished them by this county Is onl> money thrown away.

THERE WAS A JOKER IN IT

The legislature has found that it took in more ground than it intend­ed to when it passed the law provid­ing for the election of supreme court judges on a seperalte non-par­tisan ballot. They have just found that they without intending to do so provided for the election of the state highway commissioner in the same manner. The law reads that the state highway commissioner shall be elected in the Rpring st the same th»<* and in the same manner ai the supreme court judges. Now the legis-lcture will have to step on it and pass another law repealing this sec-

rt'on of the non-partisan ballot law so that the highway commissioner ran be elected on the Democrat or Republican ticket in April.

The bill sponsered by the Ameri­can Legion rn which the draft law would be radically changed has bean rejected by the house military com-nvitee at Washington.

NEW YORK.—Judging from past performances, any spot where

Baron Manfred Von Killinger is op-i erating is a good place to watch

-, . „. . B for a sanded Feinting at Rut* d e c k a p a ] r

And Swinging at of trained dice Everybody Elte a n d a £ u r i e J

a c e . S u c h have been the diplomatic parapher­nalia of the eminent Nazi statesman who, it is now reported in Europe, will be the new gauleiter, or Hitler straw-boss in Rumania. Lately, for­eign correspondence has converged on the idea that Herr Goebbels is faking a possible run-in with Rus­sia and letting word leak out in the Balkans that the Nazis are sending troops to menace Russia, while in reality, he is dealing under the ta­ble with Stalin, as usual.

That would be a grand way to dampen American war ardor—this country getting into the war on the side of red Russia. Anything as elaborate and devious as this would be right on Baron Von Killinger's target. With his genius for duplicity and complicated intrigue he would be a marvelous advance agent for just such a grand razzle-dazzle as •hat.

When Baron Von Killinger was German consul-general at San Francisco, from August, 1937, to January, 1939, Rep.

I Samuel Dickstein denounced him on the floor of congress as

I a "Nazi adventurer." On No­vember 6, 1937, the Americani­zation committee of the Ameri­can Legion demanded his sum­mary rejection from this coun-

1 try as a spy delivering secrets of the American fleet to his gov-

| eminent. He stayed on the job , until the Nazis saw fit to recall ' him, as the war loomed, for

more immediately urgent in­trigue over there.

He spent nine months in ja'l, ir 1922, on charges of complicity in the murder of the conciliatory Ma-thias Erzberger. Bullets like those used by the murderers, Schulz and Tillesen, had been found in his pos­session. He was acquitted and moved through the turbulent years of the Nazi ascendency to a spot at the right hand of Der Fuehrer. His gift for intrigue was such at some times he ran the ball the wrong way, and during the blood purge of 1934, Hitler put him in a concen­tration camp and fired him as pre­mier of Saxony.

However, they could find no sub­stitute for his legerdemain and let him out to pick up his old line of mystagogy.

TN 1933, a young man from Potts-* ville, planting his typewriter on his bed in a New York hall bed­room, rounded out 25,000 words of a IA/L- ML~ wtAA i book he was When the Utterly w r i t i n g H e

Improbable Doe* was down to Happen, It'* Newt h i s l a s t t h r e e

dollars. He sent unfinished manuscripts to three publishers, with a take-it-or-leave-it, first-come-first-served letter, telling them he would finish the book under a contract which would allow him to live decently while he was work­ing. The next day came three ac­ceptances. Harcourt, Brace was first in line and got the book, "Ap­pointment in Samarra." The author got $50 a week for the three months and delivered the finished book with­in four days of the dead-line.

Such was the literary get-way of Young John O'Hara, author of the current hit musical show in New York city, "Pal Joey," the same being one of the most poisonous portraits of a "heel" ever etched with the steel-point of contempt. The book clicked and in the years between there was the routine stretch at Bolly­wood, and a series of magazine stories from which the unlovely portrait of "Pal Joey" gradual­ly emerged.

"Pal Joey" isn't a show to which you would want to take your Aunt Tabitha, but there is a moral in the story of how young John O'Hara began to rise and shine. When he decided to become an author, he swore off liquor, cut smoking down to a minimum, went on a diet and worked a punishing shift, seven days a week. He is tall, person­able and gathers his garlands and his royalties at the age of 35.

Secretary of Agriculture Is Experienced Farmer

Progressive Farming Methods Won Him Medals; War Causes 'Class Feeling' to

Decline in England.

By BAUKHAGE National Farm and Horn* Hour Commentator.

(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)

WASHINGTON. - Rough - hewn seems to be the word I'm after.

I sat in the office of the secretary of agriculture, a big empty-looking room, and thought of a new axe bit­ing into a log. Chips were flying. Then, there was the cut, clean and fresh. Then another. And another. Not smooth, machine edge, such as a new saw makes with the regular lines the teeth leave across the sur­face. But a good straight job, the mark of each blow, surely placed, across the grain, clear through.

That's what I was thinking about as I talked with Claude Wickard, the big round-faced, homely fellow, a little awkward behind the mahog­any desk but not awkward, I felt sure, standing up in a farm wagon, reins in his hands, confident and sol­id, his feet apart as the wheels bumped over the field.

Not so much at home but sure of what he was after behind the desk, the way he was that night when he called the meeting in the little Indi­ana schoolhouse, a kerosene lamp that hadn't been cleaned for a long time sputtering beside him, 14 or 20 farmers sitting in front of him as he organized the first Farm Bureau meeting in his community—the first one he ever attended, too. COMES TO WASHINGTON

That scene, as he described it, stuck in my mind because it seemed to be the turning point in his ca­reer, or perhaps the first milestone on the road that at last took him reluctantly away from the acres that had been in the Wickard family since the 1840s and brought him

CLAUDE WICKARD Rough-hewn is the word.

down to Washington—into the gov­ernment where he has been trying to put into practice the ideas he thought would be good for other farmers and other acres from Maine to California.

Claude Wickard first came to the capital in 1933 to become assistant and later chief of the corn-hog sec­tion of the Triple-A. He was made secretary of the department of ag­riculture last August when Secretary Wallace resigned to run for vice president. But his heart is still back in Carrol county, Indiana, where his 71-year-old father and two men are running his farm.

Corn and hogs were on Secretary Wickard's mind when I talked to him the other day, and it was corn and hogs that brought him to Wash­ington in the beginning by way of Des Moines, Iowa, but it really goes back further than that. The school-house meeting, I spoke of, was the milestone, but the day he told his father he was going to college was really the beginning. In those days —and it isn't so long ago because Wickard is only 47—a lot of farmers thought that all a boy would get in college was a lot of darn-fool ideas. Only one of the Wickard's neigh­bors had been to college, but Purdue university was only 30 miles away and the idea percolated. Young Claude went and when he was gradu­ated (agricultural course, of course) in 1915 he was ready to take over the farm. Twelve years later the Prairie Farmer named him as a Master Farmer of Indiana. That was the only thing he boasted about in the half-hour conversation I had with him.

Spain Needs Cotton Receipts of raw cotton in Spain

during the three months begin­ning August 1, 1940, totaled about 50,000 bales all of which was Ar­gentine cotton except for 2,100 bales of American, according to Information received in the of-Ace of foreign agricultural rela­tions. These quantities represent little more than half of normal requirements for the three-month period so that the shortage of raw materials is still acute.

medals later for success in increas­ing crop-yields and hog production. It also got him a request from the State Farm Bureau organization to get busy and organize a unit in his community. There wasn't any farm organization in his county then. He was supposed to go to the county seat and learn how to do it but he was too busy with his chores to get away so he just called a meeting in the schoolhouse and told his neigh­bors what he thought ought to be done.

"I guess I sort of overstated what we could do," he said to me as he repeated the anecdote, "some of the fellows asked me afterward where all the reforms I talked about went to." He smiled that wide smile of his. Some of these ideas worked out. And the Master Farmer, in 1932, was chosen by the three rural counties that were his district to go to the state senate. The next year he was chosen Indiana delegate to the National Corn Hog conference at Des Moines. All this time the farm was his chief preoccupation, was then as it still is, his only source of income besides his salary. OFFERED POSITION

The conference had hardly start­ed when A. G. Black, whose room was on the same floor of the hotel as Wickard's, buttonholed him. Black was then head of the Corn Hog sec­tion of the Triple A. He wanted an assistant and he wanted Wickard for the job and wanted him right away.

It seemed a pretty important of­fer, but it also seemed impossible. You can't lock up a farm like a city flat and walk off with the key in your pocket. But Black was per­sistent and after a mental and phys­ical struggle, the Master Farmer mastered the situation, and with many a backward look set off for Washington.

.He managed to keep in pretty close touch with Carrol County while he was Corn Hog boss, but now it's harder because a secretary of agri­culture is kept very busy.

And right now Secretary Wickard wants to see more hogs—all over the country—than there are. He's worried about the pig crop report we've heard so much about lately and the last word he had to say to me, while a secretary was pull­ing his sleeve for his next appoint­ment, was on this subject:

"People don't understand what I'm after," he said as I rose to go, "when 1 say the farmers ought to hold back some of their breed sows and gilts now because pork is going to be higheT later on. I had quite a time with three cabinet ladies. (He chuckled.) They thought all I was worrying about was the price of pork chops. What we want to do is to try to take the pe*cs and valleys out of farm prices and if the farm­ers save some of their hogs for breeding now, they'll get more mon­ey for them later and it will tend to keep the price level stabilized."

That's Wickard all over—the prac­tical farmer who has learned to think.

• • • ENGLISH FARMERS WORK UNDER FIRE

"I farm in Wiltshire myself," said Anthony Hurd, a British farmer, telling about conditions in England while the bombs were dropping, "500 acres, and we average 45 bush­els of wheat to the acre. In the 14 years I've been farming there has never been an easier harvest."

Farming has been revolution­ized in England. In the first place, like it or not, class feeling separat­ed England into groups. The farm­ers (not the "gentry" were a proud folk, but still not of the "upper classes") have taken a new role in English life. They were given a big job, the outworking of that job is going to help kill the class system. Listen to my Wiltshire friend again:

"We were asked particularly to get another 2,000,000 acres under the plow in the United Kingdom and convert that amount of permanent grassland into crops of wheat, oats, barley, potatoes and so on, which yield much more food per acre. That has been done. We have pro­duced a big extra tonnage of ce­reals, particularly oats and barley —possibly as much as 1,000,000 tons extra—more potatoes than usual, and rrtore roots and fodder crops for dairy cows and other live stock."

Great Britain and Germany are competing for Spanish favor. The Nazis have agreed to purchase around 7,873,000 boxes of Spanish oranges and 1,260,000 boxes of man­darins, according to information re­ceived by the office of foreign agri­cultural relations. This is about half the 1940-41 Spanish exportable sur­plus as estimated by the Spanish government. The British govern­ment is also reported to be negotiat­ing for some of the fruit but no agreement has been reported.

"P WO of the nicest hoek rugs I ** have were made without a

frame. Many rug makers like to work this way so that they may turn the work as they do different parts of the design. Then, too, whenever rug hookers meet there is sure to be an exchange of treas­ured bits of colored fabrics. In no time at all a rug making group is meeting and it is difficult to carry a frame when one goes visit­ing. It is often difficult to find space to put a frame away in a small house or apartment, toe.

You can see by this that I rather favor working without a frame though I know perfectly well that it is more efficient to work with one. Almost all professionals have frames that rest on a permanent base. I have sketched here the type of frame that most amateurs use. You can buy the corner clamps at the hardware store and put the frame together quickly. It may be the size of your rug or smaller. If it is smaller, just part of the rug is stretched on the frame at one time.

Many a place in Michigan owes its initial s t a r t to the fac t t h a t a sp'cum provided wat r power for a mill. When a mill was e rec ted a vil­lage g r ew up a round it. A f t e r a mill came a genera l s tore and a post of­fice as a m a t t e r of course .

The Huron River and t h e Kalama­zoo r iver well domina ted Michigan 's fir^-t rim of wes te rn se t t l emen t s . So a mill a t Ypsilanjti, A n n Arbor , Al­bion, Bat t le Creek, Ka lamazoo , Jack­son and points west .

Not by a dam s i te is t h e r e anv longer a mill in Lans ing , b u t or.', power sir.* '-tili r ema in - , proper­ty or the elect lie l ight and w i t e r boa^d. The o ther wen t o u t in r ecen t ye^rs , doubt less , never to r e t u r n . The re was a mill down a t Delta Mills bu t t h a t has been gone a long t ' rne.

If one will cease from hur ry , and I e rmi t his gasol ine buggy to amble ir to Det ro i t via Northvill<\ Wate r -ford and P lymouth , he m a y notice how Uncle H e n r y F o r d has rescued the old power sites and c r e a t e d litt le indus t r ies c o n t r i b u t a r y to his big onfs . The re a re o ther power sites in some p rox imi ty to D e a r b o r n , Mr. Ford has t aken over and improved.

N S.F. Checks A» N. S. F . check is one drawn on an account in which there are "No t Sufficient F u n d s " to coved payment - in other words, it is an overdraft.

An overdraft is actually a forced loan because if an N. S. F. check is honored the bunk

must pay out more money than it has received from the depo­sitor and therefore the money

must come out of the fund* ot to her depositors.

If a check is returned unpaid because of insufficient funds it is naturally injurious to th e

credit of the maker of the (check.

Depositors should keep an ac­cura te record of checks drawn on their check >tubs,and should avoid issuing N. S. F. funds.

EUROPEAN RED CROSS

k ^rant of .:-5,o^n was nlso mad* to the American Hospital in Paris to Kvactiate American patients from the hospUal and to purchase in the United States a 100 bea hospital unit for ship* ment to the American organization, it was said.

To meet need? which were thought likely to result from bombardment of rural villages and the passage of hostile arrnie?, the Red Cross cai'ed upon 2! Of its lar^e city chapters to roll sur­gical dressings of a special new typa for European warfare injuries. More than 500,000 yards of gauze were pur­chased and 40,000 pounds of cotton, •nough to make 157.000 nirsical dress-lBg3.

On September 2, the American Red Cross announced It was organizing to meet repatriating American citlaeni t t seaport cities through chapter re> ceptioa committees. Citizens without resources were given temporary shel­ter, and aided to resettle in their former homes or work.

Between September 5 and 7, th« American Red Cross cabled $20,000 through the State Department to help American survivors of the "Athenia," who had been taken into Irish and Scotch ports

"Th? 11 d Cross is not interested in the origins of the present conflict," Chairman Davis declared following fail cabled offer of asfistance to the Inter­national red Cross Committee. "Al part of the great International Red Cross it is oui" duty to do what we caa to aid the helpless civilians who wfll suffer during the hostilities."

An Inquiry and Information Service was org3nir"r! through which contact would be made with relatives of Ameri­cans in tl e belligerent countries.

Red Cross chapters were instructed to accept ftmda for the purchase of supplies far impartial distribution and fnnHs for purchase of supplies for ft designated country to be expended tnrongb the Red Cross society of thftt tatlon.

Michigan farmers gave the inter-' L >vers grass-root, farts which show

.-;,: for dollar they spent for fertilizer they received an average re turn in increased yields of $.3.07. * In other words, Michigan farmers spent S3,G7G,O0O io-- fertilizer.

crops reported were potatoes, which brought $.'1.62 for each dollar invest­ed; wheat, $2.34; and dry beans, $3.77.

Michigan farmers a'so had,their say 2,000 farmers i a b o u t t h e e f r c c t s o f fertilizer on qual­

ity of crops. Over 67 per cent said they got better market quality in al) cash crops, while 50 per cent said they got better feeding quality in grain and hay, and 18 per cent de­clared they observed better shipping quality in fruits and vegetables.

Average return in increased yields for all crops in all States shown by the survey was $3.60 for each dollar spent on fertilizer. Nationwide, the crops showing highest rate of return were: tobacco, cotton, fruits, and vege­tables.

WHY MOTHERS GET TIRED There's a lot of work to runnicg a home. Especially wfmrm home;

A horn em alter needs all the help she can get She needs low* priced help that can take some of the heavy work off her hands.

It's hard work if one must pump and carry 20 or 30 heavy buckets of water every day, and 15 or 20 extra buckets on wash­day. It's hard work if one must carry wood and build fires for hot water, and cook over a scorching hot stove, and do a big washing and ironing by hand, and churn the butter and take care of a hundred other chores that keep a woman busy from dawn to dark. No wonder mothers get tired, and worn.

We like to see the householder buying electric help—partly of course because we are in business to sell electric service, but more than that—because we know how much good a family gets out of a water system or an electric water heater or an electric range or washing machine or ironer.

Nowadays more and more women are Managers. Instead of using precious time and strength on manual labor, they just turn the faucet or flip the switch and let electricity do the heavy work. The homemaker can give more of herself to her really big and important job—the task of raising a happy, healthy family*

When I am introduced to a per­son, outside of jthe physical charac­teristics, the thing I am most in­terested in is are they fair in their dealings with other people.

i am going to write on fairness in school sports. You have heard kt ap­plied to the actual game but I am going to apply fairness to the whole season of sports. This term fairness ireludes three parties, the coach, the icani, and the school as a body.

The coach has to be fair to the boys by giving them all an equal chance to practise and show him whai they can do. He has to be fair to the school by putting in the game tthe boys who he thinks will do the best job regardless of his personal his personal feelings.

The team has to be fair to the the coach by obeying the training lules and taking the coach's sugges­tions in a good spirit. They have to be fair to tthe school by that old old adage sacrificing personal glory tor the good of the team.

And now we come to the school. The coach and the boys have been fair to us. Have we been fair to them? Perhaps we all don't realise what we can do to be fair to )them. There are three rules to follow: 1' attend all the games, 100 per cent; 2, let the team know we are there supporting them by cheering. I have c^scussed this with the cheer leaden and they have agreed to get out on the floor every possible spare mo­ment if only we will cheer. They feel

GKttering Neckwear Will Adapt Basic Dress to All Occasions

By CHERIE NICHOLAS

V"OUR simple "basic dress"—the * dress that invites glamorous ac­

cessory touches—will scarcely know itself when it gets all "dolled up" with the new and "scrumptious" neckwear that makes glitter its theme.

One of the most flattering fashions that was ever developed has de­scended in a very deluge of sparkle and gleam and radiant loveliness. Collars and cuffs and bibs and plas­trons and countless other delec­table items are made resplendent with glittering bead embroidery and jewel-work and other magic touches that lend a festive air.

See for yourself what a treat-the various neckwear displays about town hold in store for you. The grandest thing about these sparkling eye-catchers is the practical solu­tion they offer to t, is bugaboo of a midseason problem that always bobs up this t ime of the year—that of "keeping up appearance" with a wardrobe of winter leftovers until spring comes along with its quota of "new clothes." The answer is found in the basic dress glorified with glittery neckwear and acces­sory "fixings" which will freshen up and prettify even the most prosaic garb.

For a touch of elegance on an aft­ernoon dress nothing could be love­lier than a beautiful Venise lace

plastron gleaming with pearls (to the left above in the illustration). The stems and flowers of the floral-patterned lace are delicately out­lined with tiny pearls. A new and exquisite accessory for your simple basic dress! You will find it par­ticularly flattering with pearl ear­rings and bracelet.

Before you tour the neckwear sec­tions, note the new vogue for deli­cately tinted pink lace. The acces­sory items made of it look as if they had been created in fairyland. They are exquisitely lovely, sprinkled over with wee beads that seem to dance all over the lace in a very ecstasy of glitter.

You really should have jet-em­broidered neckwear down on your memorandum. A little bengaline collar for a dress with high round neck, using jet beads in floral mo­tifs in delicate tracery as pictured to the right will give your after­noon dress just enough of a festive look to tune to a "don't dress up" bid to luncheon or bridge party. You'll love this bit of delightsome feminine frippery with jet embroid­ered on flesh pink, new champagne or white bengaline. It is a small item to be sure yet it will give a touch of elegance to any basic dress. Try it and see! And jet is "the rage" you know.

Girls of teen-age or more or less, here's a very special message for you—see it pictured in the inset be­low. Your tailored pinafore dress (ever so smart this season) can be changed into a dressy afternoon frock just like that! And it's a charming lace guimpe that "turns the trick." It's made of fine Alen-con type lace with a double lace edging on the short sleeves and little pointed collar. Venise lace motifs are used for contrasts in the collar and little front inset. Pearl earrings and a three-strand necklace and bracelet are charming accessories to this dressed-up pinafore—makes it an adorable "date" dress!

Lace Jrims Velvet

That quaint and lovely custom of trimming with black lace has been revived. Our grandmamas and an­cestral aunts used to glory in black lace edging to finish off most every­thing, especially their "stand-alone" silks and their velvets. Young girls looked bewitching in full-skirted plaid silks with wasp-waisted bod­ices all furbelowed with lace ruf­fling* headed with bands of narrow black velvet ribbon. And now mod­ern fashion is reviving that quaint custom. To such an extent has the edged-with-black-lace vogue been revived, that not only formal eve­ning gowns but smart daytime black crepe frocks have their necklines, sleeves and pockets edged with nar­row lace. A most fascinating adap­tation of the lace-trim theme is shown in the black velvet evening gown pictured. You will And touches of black lace ever so flattering and well worth trying out.

Air Travelers Go In Flying Colors

Air-minded to the finger tips is the forecast by leading designers for the chic American of 1941. She'll wear flagship red on her finger tips, a shade that keeps pilots "on the beam" in any weather, or she will flaunt the new skyhigh which is a high-styled pink with enlivening vio­let undertones.

These colors will also be translat­ed in fabrics and accessories, for as all fashion-wise women know pres­ent vogue calls for accessories and finger tips to "match up" in color.

And here's something that's "news," the chic American air-trav­eler who takes along a formal costume for party wear in cities she visits is including a most intriguing and decidedly original item, namely, evening slippers, made of a new transparent plastic that shows of! highly colored toe tips.

Tucked away for the nights she "lands" is a collapsible flagship red hat having a mesh-scarf crown that can be worn separately or with a high-flung brim that is detachable and rollable so that it won't take up much space in packing.

You can have a cerealia of your own; a Cookie Cereaiia, for when it comes to turning out those batches of cook­ies, there^s nothing that adds so much taste and variety at such a low cost as the well-known morn­ing cereal.

Nice part about making cereal cookies is that the cereal is al­ready cooked and tested in the manufacturer's ovens. All you need do is mix it in according to directions. But nicer still are the gorgeous-tasting delicacies that you can produce from just ordi­nary, every-day corn flakes and the like. Sort of a change from the old stand-bys, the sand-tarts and ginger snaps.

Even the names of these cookies sound good: Bran Butterscotch Cookies, New Zealand Corn Flake Kisses, Mincemeat Hermits, Pcp-pies, and Peanut Butter Maca­roons. Happily, none of these call for expensive ingredients.

Basqued Bodices Continue Popular

Because of their almost univer­sal becomingness basque bodices, pointed in front and usually longer than waist length, remain a favor­ite season-after-season style. For daytime or evening they top skirts that are flounced or gathered, or at least carry a suggestion of fullness.

For evening, the peasant effect is frequently emphasized. For exam­ple, a dress of pale pink mottsseline, shown by a West coast designer, has a pink and silver corselet laced about the waist. The corselet is curved into a point at the front to match the outline of the basque bod­ice top.

For street wear, this basque style is usually shown in materials that drape well, such as velvet, cordu­roy, or wool chailis.

WHY MOTHERS GET TIRED There's a lot of work to running t home. Especially a/era home.

A homemaker needs all the help she can get. She needs low-priced help that can take some of the heavy work off her hands;

It's hard work if one must pump and carry 20 or 30 heavy buckets of water every day, and 15 or 20 extra buckets on wash* day. It's hard work if one must carry wood and build fires for hot water, and cook over a scorching hot stove, and do a big washing and ironing by hand, and churn the butter and take care of a hundred other chores that keep a woman busy from dawn to dark. No wonder mothers get tired, and worn.

We like to see the householder buying electric help—partly of course because we are in business to sell electric service, but more than that—because we know how much good a family gees out of a water system or an electric water heater or an electric range or washing machine or ironer.

Nowadays more and more women are Managers. Instead of using precious time and strength on manual labor, they just turn the faucet or flip the switch and let electricity do the heavy work. The homemaker can give more of herself to her really big And important job—the task of raising a happy, healthy family.

EDITORIAL ^**» *****

When I am introduced to a per­son, outside of fthe physical charac­teristics, the thing I am most in­terested in is are they fair in their dealings with other people.

I am going to write on fairness in school sports. You have heard it ap­plied to the actual game but I am jcoing to apply fairness to the whole season of sports. This term fairness includes three parties, the coach, the team, and the school as a body.

The coach has to be fair to the boys by giving them all an equal chance to practise and show him whai they can do. He has to be fair to the school by putting in the game tthe boys who he thinks will do the Lest job regardless of his personal his personal feelings.

The team has to be fair to the the coach by obeying the training lules and taking the coach's sugges­tions in a good spirit. They have to be fair to ithe school by that old old adage—sacrificing personal glory for the good of the team.

And now we come to the school. The coach and the boys have been fair to us. Have we been fair to them? Perhaps we all don't realise what we can do to be fair to Ithem. There are three rules to follow: 1* attend all the games, 100 per cent; 2, let the team know we are there supporting them by cheering. I have d'scussed this with the cheer leaders and they have agreed to get out on the floor every possible spare mo­ment if only we will cheer. They feel rather absurd if they get out there and go through their antics and then only, receive a slight murmur In re­sponse. So when you get there, yell rout loudest And last, even if one one team loses, or if they fumble a play, don't stop supporting them. Tliats when they need us most Yeil 4 wice as load!

So dont forget these three rules. After all, the team and coach are going to do their best to let other schools (there is a Pinckney and that Pinckney High School it one sweH Kcraoer v. "••" w«» «** tiwaciy Rutirutsu uiat ne nnucney m g n School it OH

ONE special beauty of this de­sign (No. 8836) is that you can

make it up in household cottons for home wear, cutting the sleeves off short, and in spun rayon or thin wool for runabout, cutting the sleeves long! And it's so easy to make that you're certain to repeat it many times.

Belted only in the back, with lengthening bodice panels that ac­

cent height, thus making you look slimmer, and gathers beneath the yoke portions, this dress is clever­ly detailed to give exactly the ef­fect that women's sizes require. The v-neckline is finished with a deeply notched collar, the sleeves are trimmed with narrow cuff-points. And you'll find it one of the most comfortable fashions you ever put on!

The dinner came to an end, and the chairman called for silence.

"Gentlemen," he began, "I will now call upon Mr. Long, our dis­tinguished guest, to speak."

The guest rose and was greeted with polite applause.

At the end of ten minutes he was still speaking, but when at the end of half an hour he had not finished the patience of his listen­ers began to get exhausted.

In the end the speaker wound up with: "Speaking is nothing to me. As a boy I used frequently to talk in my sleep."

"And now," a drowsy voice was heard to exclaim, "you talk in ours."

Y"OUR simple "basic dress"—the * dress that invites glamorous ac­

cessory touches—will scarcely know itself when it gets all "dolled up" with the new and "scrumptious" neckwear that makes glitter its theme.

One of the most flattering fashions that was ever developed has de­scended in a very deluge of sparkle and gleam and radiant loveliness, Collars and cuffs and bibs and plas­trons and countless other delec­table items are made resplendent with glittering bead embroidery and jewel-work and other magic touches that lend a festive air.

See for yourself what a treat-the various neckwear displays about town hold in store for you. The grandest thing about these sparkling eye-catchers is the practical solu­tion they offer to t, is lju;;aboo of a midseason problem thai always bobs up this time of the year—that of "keeping up appearance" with a wardrobe of winter leftovers until spring comes along with its quota of "new clothes." The answer is found in the basic dress glorified with glittery neckwear and acces­sory "fixings" which will freshen up and prettify even the most prosaic garb.

For a touch of elegance on an aft­ernoon dress nothing could be love­lier than a beautiful Venise lace j

plastron gleaming with pearls (to the lefl abuvt;-iii the illustiatiurj). The stems and flowers of the floral-patterned lace are delicately out­lined with tiny pearls. A new and exquisite accessory for your simple basic dress! You will find it par­ticularly flattering with pearl ear­rings and bracelet.

Before you tour the neckwear sec­tions, note the new vogue for deli­cately tinted pink lace. The acces­sory items made of it look as if they had been created in fairyland. They are exquisitely lovely, sprinkled over with wee beads that seem to dance all over the lace in a very ecstasy of glitter.

You really should have jet-em-broidfed neckwear down on your memorandum. A little bengaline collar for a dress with high round neck, using jet beads in floral mo­tifs in delicate tracery as pictured to the right will give your after­noon dress just enough of a festive look to tune to a "don't dress up" bid to luncheon or bridge party. You'll love this bit of delightsome feminine frippery with jet embroid­ered on flesh pink, new champagne or white bengaline. It is a small item to be sure yet it will give a touch of elegance to any basic dress. Try it and see! And jet is "the rage" you know.

Girls of teen-age or more or less, here's a very special message for you—see it pictured in the inset be­low. Your tailored pinafore dress (ever so smart this season) can be changed into a dressy afternoon frock just like that! And it's a charming lace guimpe that "turns the trick." It's made of fine Alen-con type lace with a double lace edging on the short sleeves and little pointed collar. Venise lace motifs are used for contrasts in the collar and little front inset. Pearl earrings and a three-strand necklace and bracelet are charming accessories to this dressed-up pinafore—makes it an adorable "date" dress!

Lace Trims Velvet

That quaint and lovely custom of trimming with black lace has been revived. Our grandmamas and an­cestral aunts used to glory in black lace edging to finish off most every­thing, especially their "stand-alone" silks and their velvets. Young girls looked bewitching in full-skirted plaid silks with wasp-waisted bod­ices all furbelowed with lace ruf­fling* headed with bands of narrow black velvet ribbon. And now mod­ern fashion is reviving that quaint custom. To such an extent has the edged-with-black-lace vogue been revived, that not only formal eve­ning gowns but smart daytime black crepe frocks have their necklines, s leeves and pockets edged with nar­row lace. A most fascinating adap­tation of the lace-trim theme is shown in the black velvet evening fown pictured. You will find touches of black lace ever so flattering and well worth trying out.

Multiple Colors A costume with two if not more

colors is the rale this season. Skirts, bV-qt— and jackets in different tones are shown together, while a two-color dress will be topped with a contrasttag coat.

Air Travelers Go In Flying Colors

Air-minded to the finger tips is the forecast by leading designers for the chic American of 1941. She'll wear flagship red on her finger tips, a shade that keeps pilots "on the beam" in any weather, or she will flaunt the new skyhigh which is a high-styled pink with enlivening vio­let undertones.

These colors will also be translat­ed in fabrics and accessories, for as all fashion-wise women know pres­ent vogue calls for accessories and ringer tips to "match up" in color.

And here's something that's "news," the chic American air-trav­eler who takes along a formal costume for party wear in cities she visits is including a most intriguing and decidedly original item, namely, evening slippers, made of a new transparent plastic that shows off highly colored toe tips.

Tucked away for the nights she "lands" is a collapsible flagship red hat having a mesh-scarf crown that can be worn separately or with a high-flung brim that is detachable and rollable so that it won't take up much space in packing.

Basqued Bodices Continue Popular

Because of their almost univer­sal becomingness basque bodices, pointed in front and usually longer than waist length, remain a favor­ite season-after-season style. For daytime or evening they top skirts that are flounced or gathered, or at least carry a suggestion of fullness.

For evening, the peasant effect is frequently emphasized. For exam­ple, a dress of pale pink motfsseline, shown by a West coast designer, has a pink and silver corselet laced about the waist. The corselet is curved into a point at the front to match the outline of the basque bod­ice top.

For street wear, this basque style is usually shown in materials that drape well, such as velvet, cordu­roy, or wool challis.

Here's a Change From Old Stand-Bys: Cereal Cookies; So Tasty, Low in Cost

D ID you ever hear of a "cerealia?" No, it's not a

.breakfast food. It's the festival that the ancient Romans staged every year in honor of Ceres, God­dess of the Grains. You can have a cerealia of your own; a Cookie Cerealia, for when it comes to turning out those batches of cook­ies, there's nothing that adds so much taste and variety at such a low cost as the well-known morn­ing cereal.

Nice part about making cereal cookies is that the cereal is al­ready cooked and tested in the manufacturer's ovens. All you need do is mix it in according to directions. But nicer still are the gorgeous-tasting delicacies that you can produce from just ordi­nary, every-day corn flakes and the like. Sort of a change from the old stand-bys, the sand-tarts and ginger snaps.

Even the names of these cookies j sound good: Bran Butterscotch Cookies, New Zealand Corn Flake Kisses, Mincemeat Hermits, Pep-pies, and Peanut Butter Maca­roons. Happily, none of these call for expensive ingredients.

Legislators reaction to this 15-point program of increased state .vending were varied. Democrats en­thused; R epublicans, who possess control, expressed doubt as to the state's financial ability to spend wore and to reduce the deficit, too.

Rep. John P. Espie (R) of Eagle pronounced: "Idealist but very im­practical."

Thus the preliminary sparring be­gan.

Indications are already fit hand that the bi-partisan honeymoon, if it ever existetd, is already on the wane.

January 18, 1941 Dear Editor:

Inasmuch as this is the first news letter that I have sent your paper since the convening of the 77th Congress, I wish to take this opor-tnnlty of expressing to the elector­ate of the 6th District, my keen ap­preciation in being selected to repre­sent this fine District for the nexfc two years.

It is my earnest purpose to work faithfully and well and to cast my ^ ote& for the bes% interests of our country.

The new Congress consists of 267 Democrats, 162 Republicans,! Farm-M-Labor, 3 Progressives, 1 Ameri­can Labor and 1 Independent, total­ing 435 members.

Ihe Senate consists of 28 Repub­licans and the balance of 68 Demo­crats and Progressives.

My reelection last November gave me seniority rights in Congress and I, therefore, am now located in the New Hou^ Office Building: in Suite 1118. The New House Office Build­ing is a modern up-to-dsfte office building with all the modern quip-nipnt.

Due to my election last fall, I was also in line to become President of the Michigan State Society, the old­est state society in Washington, hav­ing been estblishel in 1862. I was elected as President of the Michigan Society on Jan. 8th for the ensuing year.

On Monday, Jan. 6, the Hbuse convened in a joint session to hear the annual message of the President Th joint sessions of Congress are held in Ithe Hall of Representatives and at the meeting there were 465 members of the House, 96 members in the Senate and th« President's Cabinet.

The Diplomatic rallery was filled with various Representatives of for­eign countries. In the President's Gallery was Mrs. Roosevelt, the wife

I of the President, and ofcaers in offi­cial life.

lasted for 35 minutes and most of this paper probably have either heard of read that message.

On January 8, the President senjt to Congress his budget estimates for the fiscal year, 1941-42. This called tor an expenditure of $17,585,528,-040.00, classified as follows: 1. Legislative, Judicial and Execu­tive Departments. Total $41,828,200 2. Civil Departments and Agencies

956,028,287 3. General Works Program i..

I appreciate that the above fig­ures will be somewhat dull and dry Kjt inasmuch as the taxpayers of America will be called upon to pay this enormug gum, it is advisable that our citizens should devote seme thougMt to those various items.

it will be a week er two before Congress settles down to deliberate work, for the reason that fthe mem-hership of the various committees operating in the House, 47 in num­ber, have not been fully appointed 38 yefc. As soon as these Committees are appointed, both in the Senate and th House, then the actual delib­eration of Congress will start..

This will be a momentous session of Congress, predicated largely upon national defense. The citisens of the 6ti. District, the State of MicKgmn and of th e United States should re­fuse to be swayed by propagandists whe desire to get this nation into war, but should use their calm judgment in the best interests of <be Americas nation.
