Neighbors Race- Stork

The first baby to arrive in 1945in this vicinity was a son born to

I Mr. and Mrs. John Czerwiec ofi Novesta township in PleasantHome hospital. Dr. B. H. Star-mann was the attending physician.

I The baby arrived at 11:05 p. m. oni January 1.| Mr. and Mrs. Czerwiec, who livei two miles south and three mileswest of Cass City, and their neigh-

i hers/ raced the stork to the hospitalovercoming difficulties of threecars not in running order, includ-ing their own, and a flat tire onthe car of the neighbor who didbring the parents to the hospitalto beat the stork by an hour's

1 time.The proud parents have two

other children, both girls.

John F. Humm, friend of thecourt in Tuscoia county, told Ro-tary club members Tuesday thatin this county in 1944 there were76 divorce cases filed and 216 mar-riage ceremonies held, whichmeant approximately one coupleapplying for a divorce to everythree couples united in matri-mony. If all the 76 divorces weregranted, it would mean 133 chil-dren involved in broken homes.Mr. Humm is also county proba-tion officer and he says a major-ity of persons placed on probationfor, crimes committed come frombroken homes.

Out of the 76 divorce cases filedin the past year, 37 divorces weregranted, seven reconciliations wereeffected largely through the ef-forts of Mr. Humm and the re-maining cases are still pending incourt.

Of the 76 cases filed, Mr.Humm has investigated 62 forCircuit Judge DesJardins. Lessthan one per cent of the people in-volved in the 62 cases are activein church work, he said.

In his opinion, the divorce situa-tion may be'still worse after peaceis declared, due to the hasty mar-riages made in war days.

There are 82 active alimonycases in Tuscoia county at present.Divorced fathers make alimonypayments for the benefit of theirchildren through the friend of thecourt and the money is paid to themothers weekly.

Miss Mary Joyce Deo, 16, wastaken to Pleasant Home hospitalSunday evening with serious in-juries received in an automobilecollision. The accident occurredwhen a car,, driven by DonaldKrause, of Decker, in whose carshe was a passenger, skidded onthe pavement into the path of acar driven by Melvin Skinner ofCass City.

Farm Bureau Roll.Call Opens in.Tuscoia

Supreme CourtUpholds Findings of

On Wednesday it was learnedthat the Supreme Court of theState of Michigan upheld and af-firmed the finding of a court de-cision made by Judge Geo. DesJar-dins in the circuit court of Tuscoiacounty. The case known as theG. A. Tindale Ford Sales of Cass

' City vs. the Michigan State Un-employment Compensation Com-mission was the first of its kindto be tried in this state and theonly one of its kind ever to be tak-en to the last court of resort.

The case tried during the earlysummer months was based on theassumption of the Michigan Unem-ployment Compensation Commis-sion that a co-partner in a busi-ness could also be an employee ofthe business of which he was a.partner.

In the matter being tried, M. B.Auten, R. L. Keppen and G. A.Tindale were co-partners doingbusiness as the G. A. Tindale FordSales, and of the group only Mr.Keppen was active, drawing a reg-ular salary as well as his share ofthe profits as a working member.If Mr. Keppen was to be classed

-as an employee it would have madethe total number of employees inthe business as eight thus auto-matically placing the business on-the compensation list.

The findings of Judge DesJar-dins were "that a co-partner couldnot be judged as an employee ofthe partnership of which he was amember." The decision was af-firmed by the supreme court.

Previous to the circuit courttrial, the unemployment commis-sion, through their referee, heldagainst the Tindale company atthe preliminary hearing. Whenthe appeal board sustained thedecision of the referee, the Tindalecompany brought suit against thecommission. Attorney RolandKern of Caro represented the Tin-dale company in both the hearingbefore the commission and in thecircuit court.

Goals ImportantFor Farm Plans

Farmers can well give seriousthought to three important factorsin laying their plans for 1945, be-lieves County Agricultural AgentNorris W. Wilber.

1. The war has not yet beenwon. Tough fighting is ahead, in-volving great armies of men andmaterial. Farmers must continueproducing at about the same levelas they did in 1944 to assure es-sential quantities of food.

2. Recommended goals must bemet to give utmost aid to the wareffort. Material increases areneeded in some crops. Four ofthese—all major food products inwhich shortages exist—are raisedin this state. They are sugarbeets, dry beans, potatoes andmilk. Supplies of several othercrops must be rebuilt, but produc-tion beyond the suggested goalsis not necessary.

3. Demand for farm productscan change rapidly in war time, orin the period of transition to peace.If changing conditions call for ad-justments in goals before plantingtime, the War Food administrationwill so advise farmers. But untilconditions warrant any change inpresent programs, farmers shouldplan to hold to the recommendedgoals in 1945.

"The Farm Bureau is now 25years old. A product of WorldWar I, it started off with a bang,but not knowing, definitely, whereit was going nor how to get there,it was bound to head for a slow-down," says Jesse E. Trieber,president of the county organiza-tion. "Due to the vision and untir-ing efforts of some devoted agri-cultural leaders and to the con-fidence of those members whostuck with the organization, theFarm Bureau weathered thestorms which every new thing

, must face before it can establish' itself permanently. This meant: that much of the personnel in lead-: ing positions had to be replaced inI order to root out self interests andj eliminate the extreme element. Asound policy had to be born out

Expenditures of the crusade bythe regular general agencies of thechurch will provide for "feedingthe hungry, clothing the destitute,and freeing the minds and spiritsof the ignorant, the underprivi-leged, the driven and the dis-possessed,", Mr. Bisbee said. Three-fifths of the fund has been allo-cated for the "rebuilding and re-habilitation of human life" in for-eign countries, nine-tenths in war-devastated areas and the rest inother mission fields. The balancewill be .used for emergency, war-caused needs in this country.

The Tuscoia county draft boardhas received a pre-induction callfor 110 men for Jan. 29. An induc-tion call has been received for 43men from the county to report atthe induction station in Detroit onJan. 26.

All 2-A cases in the county,which includes men deemed essen-tial to the community, have beenreviewed by the draft office. Sev-eral of these were re-classified as1-A.

All men over the age of 38years have been placed in Class4-A except those who had beenpreviously classified in 1-C or 4-D.

State dailies this week carriedthe information that local draftboards were instructed formally onWednesday to review the 'defer-ments of all farm workers in the18 to 25 age brackets.

Those not previously rejectedfor physical defects are to undergopreinduction physical examinationsas soon as machinery will permit.

These directions went out fromSelective Service, under WhiteHouse orders, to implement thecampaign of War Mobilizer JamesF. Byrnes for more manpower inuniform.

Despite these measures, therewas doubt whether many of theseyoung farm workers could legallybe deprived of their deferredstatus.

White vs. Yellow CornAs long as pigs are on pasture,

there is very little difference in thefeeding value of white or yellowcorn for fattening. When fed in thedry lot, pigs gain faster on yellowcorn. This is because yellow corncontains vitamins which white corn

i lacks. When pigs are on pasture,' the green crop supplies the neces-sary vitamins; therefore, eitherwhite or yellow corn may be used.

Rag BugsWJsen laundering small rag rugs,

treat them in the usual way withplenty of rich, active suds and warmwater in the tub or washing ma-chine. But after the rinsing proc-ess is over, dip them into a lightstarch solution. Press out the wa-ter by hand or put them through avery loosely adjusted wringer, andlay them flat on paper on the base-ment or porch floor to dry. Thestarch gives the rugs more body andhelps to keep them flat.

FARM BUREAU FIGHTSFOR FAIR FARM PRICES

The Farm Bureau is fighting the fanners' battle for fair prices today,and for the post-war years. Much depends upon our ability to present ourcase to Congress and to the public. How much can you do alone?

In the years to come, farmers must maintain a full parity price relation-ship with other groups. Our prices and city prices and wages must go upand down the ladder together. It is our job to show that agricultural pros-perity is the foundation for a lasting national prosperity.

YOU CAN HELP YOURSELF by joining the Farm Bureau, or bycontinuing your membership. 700,000 families in 46 states are members.Family membership is $5 per year.

Faced with the greatestdemand for mi lk everknown* the dairy industry'swartime record is outstand-ing. Never in history hasthere been such a steadyflow ©f milk to so manypeople.

Milk from U. S. cows liter-ally girdles the earth as therequirements of our armedforces, allies, lend-lease andliberated nations assumeglobal proportions.

U. S. Milk productionsince Pearl Harbor hasreached new high levels andindications are that 1944may top 1943.

Our armed forces getfresh milk daily whereverpossible. Milk is in Pharma-ceuticals used by militaryhospitals, butter from Amer-ica helps restore Russianwounded, powdered milk is Trend:in emergency rations.Cheese is valuable to Great Britain;China and Africa get milk powderand liberated youngsters milk prod-ucts.

On the home front milk drinking,now widely popular in war plants,,lessens fatigue, reduces accidents,cuts losses in man-hours, improvesproduction and earning power.

"Milk and its products compriseover 25 per cent of the 1700 poundsof principal food estimated to beconsumed annually by the averageAmerican," the Foundation says.

EUROPE:Yanks Stiffen

In what Allied headquarters saidwas a brilliant operation, conceivedby Adolf Hitler but worked out byField Marshal Von Rundstedt, the

Japanese killed and only 493 cap- j great German winter offensivetured, again indicating the fanati-cism of the foe's stand.

Striking at the level easternside of Leyte, General Mac-Arthur's forces soon rolled theJapanese back to the mountain-ous western portion, then struckat the heart of their defensesthere by . driving southwarddown the Ormoc corridor. Theenemy's fate was sealed whenthe U. S. 77th division landedbelow Ormoc and then' thrustup the corridor to meet the ad-vancing doughboys.Besides suffering huge casual-

ties, the Leyte campaign cost theenemy 2,748 planes, 27 warshipsand 41 troop transports. U. S. troopcasualties were put at 2,623 dead,8,422 wounded and 172 missing.

HOME FRONT:Tighten Controls

With the nation now locked in oneof the most critical stages of the •war, the government moved on abroad front to assure the effectiveprosecution of the conflict. • f

I ln a dramatic step, War Mobili-zation Director James F. Byrnes

called upon the country's 80 racetracks employing 40,000 people tosuspend future meetings, and alsodirected draft boards to reexaminethe physical status of all profession-al athletes previously classified 4-F.

Although the turfmen's readycompliance with Byrnes' appeal pro-vided an additional labor pool forthe nation's hard pressed war in-dustry, it was indicated that theclosure of the tracks was promptedjust as much by workers' absentee-ism to attend the races from near-by plants.

Review of the 4-F standing of pro-fessional athletes -threatened thewartime future of commercial sport,since numerous younger perform-ers already have been lost to theservices and a scattering of 4-Fsand vets are helping hold manysuch enterprises together'.

2 In another move to assure full-•est utilization of manpower and

materials, the War Production boardwas authorized to withdraw any pri-orities or allocations of materials toplants found violating War Manpow-er commission ceilings on their em-ployment or 'regulations dealingwith the hiring of help.

At the same time, the WMC itselfwas given authority to enforce itsregulations pointed toward the mosteffective distribution of labor forwar production.

3 With civilian supplies of many• items reported at the lowest

point since the war began, OPArestored control over major foodproducts to assure equitable distri-bution.

In meats, rationing was reestab-lished on grade D beef, better cutsof veal, bacon, pork" should-ers, spareribs, beef and veaj liverand items in tin or glass, but eachindividual's stamp allocation wasboosted from 30 to 50 points in Janu-ary.

Also placed back on rationing weresuch canned vegetables as peas,corn, green and wax beans, as-paragus and spinach.

In tightening up on sugar allot-m.ents, individual quotas of fivepounds were stretched from 10weeks to three months, and all can-ning certificates, except No. 34,

ground onward, moving slower afterthe first surprising rush with thesteady organization of the U. S. de-fense.

As the enemy's attack developed,he threw one arm northwestwardtoward Namur, in what was de-scribed as an effort to cut off allAllied forces in Belgium and Hol-land, and he flung another armsouthwestward toward Sedan, his-toric gateway to France and sceneof the great Nazi break-through of1940.

Although Von Rundstedt employedtwo whole armies of about 300,000men, and was said to have another90,000 men in reserve, German prog-ress appreciably slowed after thefirst great push carried them aroundStavelot and Bastogne. Reactingto the enemy drive, U. S. forces vig-orously counter-attacked the tips ofthe advancing westward spearheads,and smashed into the sides of thebig German bulge in Belgium tothe north and little Luxembourg tothe south. „ -

lines to the north in Holland, search-ing for weaknesses that might invitean attempt to roll Montgomery'sforces up against the Americans.

As the German offensive pro-gressed, it was favored by continuedbad flying weather, with the murkyskies preventing full sustained useof the mightyv Allied aerial fleets.Taking advantage of every break inthe overcast, however, hundreds olU. S. and British heavy bombershammered German communicationlines behind the front, while swarmsof fighters, seeping through toughopposition, swooped low to plasterthe enemy's moving troop and sup-ply columns.

Russ AdvanceWhile the battle raged in the west,

Russian forces continued their drivein Hungary, ringing the once pic-turesque, now smouldering, capitalof Budapest, and biting deeply intoCzechoslovakia farther to the north.As the Russian drive developed,they stood about 90 miles from Vi-enna, before which German laborforces reputedly were hastily erect-ing fortifications.

In Greece, civil warfare betweenthe Leftist ELAS and Rightist andBritish troops raged as Prime Min-ister Churchill and Foreign Secre-tary Eden flew to Athens in a dra-matic effort to draw the opposingforces together in a compromisegovernment to restore order.

Churchill's personal flight to Ath-*ens underlined Great Britain's in-terest in stabilizing the situation in

MEAT PROSPECTS:Less Pigs

Originally scheduled to tumble toapproximately- 128 pounds in 1945,civilian meat production may dropeven further if farmers persistin their intentions to cut theirspring pig production down 7 percent, instead of raising it 2 per centas suggested by the War Food ad-ministration.

The department of agriculture'srevelation of farmers' intentions asof December 1 came as it was re-ported that the recent huge grainharvests assured the country ofbumper feed supplies through 1845.Of all stocks, only barley may runshort, what with the 352,000,000bushel supply 76,000,000 bushels be-low the last year, but such a deficitwill more than be made up by therecord 3,128,000,000 bushels of corn.

Since some of the farmers listedshort feed supplies in their areas asone of the reasons for their reduc-tion in spring pig production, effi-cient distribution of existing sup-plies may result in alteration oftheir plans. Other reasons given forcutting output were marketing dif-ficulties and dissatisfaction withprices.

a country standing on the thresholdwere cancelled. Red point value of of the Suez canal and the Mediter-butter was boosted from 20 to 24per pound.

MORAL HOUSING t ;

Possibility of the availability offederal funds for construction ofrural low-rent housing as a postwarproject was seen in the Federal Pub-lic Housing authority's action incalling upon Rural Housing authori-ties to submit applications for al-lotments.

Under the prewar low-rent pro-gram only a limited amount of ruralhousing was built, only 515 farmhouses being constructed, althoughnearly 8,000 others were under loancontract at that time.

On Nation's Hero Roll

To Captain Arthur D. Lawson ofMarion, Md., went the Silver Star forexceptional bravery. In Normandy,France, he was advancing with his com-pany through, a very heavy artillery bar-rage. Though hit by shrapnel and requiring medical aid, he carried on, dstermined to do his duty. When the uniiwax forced to withdraw, he and severalother casualties were left in enemy ter-ritory. In spite of painful wounds, hemade his way back to friendly line*a/icr having first aided others i<y safety.

Postwar Army

Declaring that th-e U. S. prob-ably would be the, first object ofaggressors in any new war, thearmy called for one year oftraining for youths to preparethem properly for the rigors ofconflict.

In advocating a force oftrained reserves, the armyruled out the alternative of astanding military organizationand national guard big enoughto meet the initial attack ofany enemy as wholly impracti-cable and too expensive.

Under the army's program,balanced units of air, ground

. and service forces would bebuilt up,'to assure well-roundedoffensive or defensive operationsfollowing mobilization.

In calling for one year ofstrict military .training, thearmy took issue with those ad-vocating supplementary instruc-tioits for trainees in other fields.

TIRES:Cut Output

Because of the necessity of divert-ing manpower and facilities to themanufacture of military tires, theWar Production board ordered theoutput of passenger tires slashed by3,000,000 to 5,000,000 during the firstquarter of 1945, thus blasting many"A" card holders' hopes of re-ceiving new cords through the year.

As a result of WPB's action, "A"-card holders were faced with theprospect of riding on their old tiresthroughout 1945, or having worncords recapped.

At the same time, "B" and "C"card holders were warned that theirshare of supplies also would be cut,and they were told to recap, con-serve tires and participate in carpools if they expect to keep theirvehicles on the road during 1945.

Except for light and heavy-heavyoff highway truck tires, productionof commercial truck cords lor 1945will be increased, WPB said.

POSTWAR BUSINESS:Transport Orders

Anticipated expenditures of therailroads and intercity bus lines tofill demands laid over from war-time should provide the basis lorsubstantial employment in the post-war period, it is believed.

Of the two, the railroads are ex-pected to make the heaviest ex-penditures, with prospects that theywill not only lay out $1,220,000,000for normal yearly improvements,but an additional $300,000,000 an-nually until they catch up with war-time arrearages.

In reviewing needs, industryspokesmen said ';hat orders £orfreight cars should approximate the =1941 total of 118,000, and over 2,000passenger cars yearly also may bepurchased. With thousands of loco-motives over 25 years old in usescheduled for the scrap pile, re-placement needs will be great. Inaddition new rail and other trackequipment will have to be installedto supplant material subjected toheavy wartime wear.

In using their large wartime earn-ings to retire debt and build upcash and other reserves, the rail-roads have improved their invest-ment position in the postwar period.

Although the intercity bus indus-try's postwar outlays will not matchthe railroads', of course, they willbe heavy since no less than ,6,000busses costing $90,000,000 wiH beneeded to replace old equipment andless appealing victory models andalso meet an anticipated businessboost.

At the same time, thousandsof workers will be needed to re-habilitate equipment worth keeping,industry spokesmen said.

HOME CANNINGIn nearly 25 million households

during the past year home cannerswere busy, and .their efforts resultedin an estimated 3 billion, 400 mil-lion quarts of calmed food. Esti-mates from a small survey recentlycompleted by the USDA show thetotal supply of food canned at homeseems to be about equally divMedbetween fruits and vegetables. Simi-lar figures for previous years arenot available, but a private poll in-dicates a 15 per cent decrease fromlast year.

EVIDENCE LACKING ONRUSSIAN TACTICS ' ' -

WASHINGTON.—Behind the Armyand Navy Journal charge that Rus-sian and British politics in Europehave delayed military victory, inves-tigation will show considerable yes-and-no evidence.

The hinge-point is whether theRussians held back on their marchthrough Poland to Berlin in order togobble up the Balkans arid Balticstates for themselves, whether theydeliberately delayed conquest ofGermany proper.

Some Polish organizationshave claimed the Beds did notthrow in enough power in theirWarsaw drive last August, butthe military evidence shows theyput 30 divisions into that fray.Also Warsaw is easier to defend •from attack from the east thanthe west.The Wista river is supposed to run

through the city, but actually theimportant part of the metropolis ison the west bank, which is higherand commands the east bank fromwhich attack must be made. TheReds appear to have made a rea^fight and lost in August and thenlet that matter go in favor of theirsouthern campaign through Roma-nia, Hungary, etc.

Butted Real Wall.The Nazi fortifications 10 to 15

miles inside the East Prussian fron-tier are old (built before the war),and comparable with those we arefacing in the west. Here also theRed army butted its head against areal wall in September and let thefighting degrade into trapping.

Reports have been publishedthat a Russian drive is about tostart on the dormant Polishfront, hut you cannot tell aboutthat until action starts and pro-gresses far enough to gauge thesize of it. |The Nazis fought the same delay-

ing tactics against the Reds in the*^Baltic states as they used againstus in France, holding ports andpockets of resistance with suicidesquads. Indeed, elements of 10 Ger-man divisions still hold the Rigaestuary, nullifying the capture ofthat port as at Antwerp. ;

Russian Waltz. 'On the other hand the southern

drive through the Balkans was a ;waltz up to Budapest. After thePrut river was crossed and Ploesti ,was captured, Romania dropped likea plum to Stalin as did Bulgaria andYugoslavia. It is undeniable thatthis military campaign has workedRussia's way politically, not only asto the Balkans but by keeping Po-land on the rough edge until Polishpolitics and Churchill settled theRussian way. The Russians are fur-ther-from Berlin at Budapest thanthey were in Poland at the end ofsummer.

The facts from Europe seem in-wardly and outwardiy to be kept ina yes-and-no state. Indeed, there isarising here an attitude like that of ;the New Deal senator whose state- '•ments you may have seen. He saysit is all British propaganda aboutthe Communists wanting the Greekgovernment or being involved in therevolt. • i

"We hear conservatives yell-ing Communist everytime a peo- jpie's movement rears its head," jhe says. This is the same line ifamiliar since, the Spanish revo- jlution of "It is" on one side, j"It isn't" on the other, with no jone getting at acceptable facts jof the truth. !Personally, for myself, I rely

mainly on the judgment of the mili-tary in such matters, but not onpoliticians here or abroad. By andlarge, military men care little aboutCommunism or conservatives, butwant to win their war. They knowmore about the facts than senators.Their Army and Navy Journal re-flected the viewpoint of a large seg-ment of the defense services, al-though other army experts are in-clined to give Russia the benefit ofdoubt, at least until they see howbig a drive now develops in Poland. ;

In this kind of a yes-and-no game :

of news from Europe, where skilledpropaganda forces are at work in alife and death struggle for power, itis necessary that senators, as allcitizens, try to ascertain and adver-tise provable conditidns such as theCommunist connections of European jcabinet members, or lack of them, iand to be equally alert to the solidevidence-of British use of pressure iand power. That is the only way todefeat propaganda.

It is difficult for officials to sayexplicitly what caused the troublein Greece, yet the inner evidencehere plainly suggests the purpose ofthe revolt. It is reported throughsubterranean official avenues ofcommunication (army men and sen-,ators have heard and believe it)that a Russian colonel was discov-ered among the revolutionists, giv-ing them military advice if not lead-ing them. Also the firing began im-mediately after the prevailing Greekgovernment had attempted to dis-band the guerilla forces in whichthe Communists were an element.

Follow this treatmentby rinsing, and, if possible, let dryon a rack upside down in a warmplace. Otherwise dry inside with asoft cloth, if the vase has a largeenough opening.

New ToasterA new toaster has a double cycle.

The bread is first toasted slowly tomake it crisp, and then rapidly inorder to give it a pleasing out-side brown color.

Keep DryTo reduce the danger of having

the ribs rust, always keep an um-brella open ijntil it is thoroughlydry. A speck of oil can be daubedon the joints occasionally to keepthem from rusting. If plastic ormetal tips come off the ribs, don'tfeel that the umbrella is useless.Often these tips can be put backwith rubber cement or fish glue.Small rips in the covering can berepaired from the inside with thenew iron-on mending tapes.
