House Os 111 Repute
Raided By Police
TOLEDO, Ohio—As the police
tried to a middle-aged woman
to jail last Friday, they didn't sus-'
pect that they would have to put (
lip a real "honest to goodness* sist 1
fight in doing so.
Last Friday as police entered a:
prostitute house on Washington
street, they found a woman keep
ing a house of ill-fame and solicit
ing. As the persons in the house;
saw police .they fled, but in their
flight, a certain belligerent woman
was seized.
Ac rrs tried to take the worn-:
'an calmly, in return the "home
keeper" began throwing left and
rights at the policemen. After a
few "round*" of fist fighting, offi-;
cers finally managed to take the
woman to the "hoosegow." She
was b-oked f.w- -eoUcitiag. and oper-,
ating a house of ill-fame.
Talks With Wrong
Boy, She Cets Cut
Because she was talking to a ;
boy named James on the street.
Christine Williams. 26. of 5713
Brush street, was treated at Re
ceiving hospital for a lacerated
face, a lacerated forehead and an
injured left shoulder. ‘
It seems that she was either talk
ing to another girl's boyfriend or
Fomc girl had a grudge against her.
Christine did rioT reveal the idtm
jtity of her alleged assaulter, but
1 merely stated she was cut while
I talking to a boy on Hasting? street.

month, it has special significance at
th s time Decause tr.e month of
June is dedicated by the church to
the Sacred Heart of Our Lord. It
wa? in 1675 that Our Lord appeared
to a very dear friend of His. Sister
Margaret-Mary Alacoqut in the ,
Convent of the Visitation Nun? at

usked her to promote- devotion to
His Sacred Heart as He was so little
loved and so much forgotten by men.

which the faithful in special prayer,
and sacrifices manifest their love to
tne Heart, "which has loved men s<.
much." Love and reparation is the
tneme 't this Holy Hour service and
a special invitation is extended to

School Bill
Is Defeated
Citizens of the Eight Mile Road
community received encouraging
word last week from Senator!
I Charles Diggs that Senate school
1 bill No. 444, designed to separate
the Pleasant Ridge from the^Fern-1
dale school district, had been de
feared.
According to reports, passage of
this bill would have meant the re- j
moval of a somewhat wealthy group,
from the district and consequently ;
a lowering in the standards main- 1
taii.ed in the Ferndale district'
schools.
Defeat of the measure was jubi- !
lantly received by the Eight Mile (

result, to the extent of recently'
