"We were sitting on Ed Carey's
porch, enjoying a friendly glass
of beer, when a squadron of
fighter planes goes over- In
tight formation —swift and trim
and powerful.
“There,** says Ed proudly,
“goes an American tradition.**
“What do yon mean, tradition?**
Ehen Crowell says. “America’s
a hundred slaty years old —fly
ing's the newest thing there la.**
“But those planes,” says Ed,
“they’re the best in the world
the best made and the best
flown. That’s what I mean by

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
"Guess we re pretty lucky in our town.
Judge, that we don't have the youth
problem you read about in other places."
"Don’t know as you can call it. lucky,
Harold...we saw it coming with the war
and we did something about it before it hit
us. We gave our 'teen age youngsters the
recreational facilities they needed and really
wanted. Those familiar with this wartime

Tax Exemption
Offered Vets
Homiitiodi Free
Up to $2,000
Mount Clemens draftees (or
their next of kin) and veterans
of previous wars who have not
yet applied for $2,000 tax ex
emption on their homes as al
lowed by state law, are urged
to do so immediately by City As
sessor Harold Lindsey, before
the June 1 deadline.
Tax rolls are being made up
and applications for exemptions
up to a $2,000 valuation, but not
exceeding a $5,000 valuation,
are now being taken. Due to
the detail involved in tax roll
work. Assessor Lindsey advises
that this notice is the “last call
for exemptions.”
Under state law, the exemp
tion may be applied for by vet
erans of other wars, or men in
the armed forces today, or by
their wives, widows, parents, or
next-of-kin, as long as they ten
ant the homestead.
The $2,000 tax exemption,
while it does not free the pro
perty of all taxes, lifts the taxes
applicable to that portion of the
assessed valuation. In other
words, a veteran paying taxes on
a $3,000 home, need only pay
taxes covering a SI,OOO valua
tion.
Meals for two dozen soldiers
are provided by a brick of com
pressed potatoes weighing one
vound, when water is added.
New Version of an
Old American Tradition
an American tradition: making
things, doing things, just a little
better, whether It’s an airplane
or a railroad or a glass of fine
American beer like this.” ■
And from where I sit, Ed has
put hla finger on what makes
America great —and will keep
her great. The urge to do things
Jnst a little better —from the
planes we make to the gla«s of
beer that we enjoy. Things to be
prond of— all of them!

Jt A in the
By D. A.
It seems only appropriate, after last night s top notch
Hit the Deck" performance ot the high school auditorium
. . . with its attractive Wor Bond booth m the lobby . . . and
the fact that a repeat performance will be given tonight . . .
that we say something about the schools current drive to
raise a total war bond and stamp sale ot $1 10,000 during the
Fifth War Loan drive. „
The students have set a high
goal for themselves, and it be
hooves everyone to lend a hand
to the limit of their ability . . .
The sale of SIIO,OOO in war
bonds is no small accomplish
ment, but we think it can be
done, considering that Mount
Clemens public schools must be
close to the $300,000 mark so
far during the war effort. . . .
The greater the trial the more
glorious the triumph!
I p to Thursday, a total of
SB,OOO in war bonds had been
sold . . . and the patriotic
bond salesmen are hoping for
some generous SI,OOO and $5,-
000 bond buyers to help
boost the total. . . .Let’s hop*
some local merchants, or some
of those >l. C. H. S. alumni,
who have achieved fame and
fortune in the professional or
business world will now' hack
up the old Alma Mater with
an investment (for them
selves* in war bonds.
The highest salesmen so far in
the school effort, which is based
on purchase and not maturity
value of bonds, are Mary Ann
yermeulen, $1.05(1, Nancy Sue
Mandell, $843.75; Shirley
Kraatz, $450 and Gloria Ham
mond. S3OO. . . . Splendid girls,
but where are the boys? . . .
The highest rooms, so far, are
those of Miss Gauper, $1,106.25;
Miss Stafford, $842 75, and Miss
Daeubler, $543.75 . . .
Folks, dig down and help
yourselves and our high
school, too. ... A big C-47
army ambulance plane will
do untold good for our boys
overseas when the Big Push is
launched. ... It will carry
the name of our city, and
your best wishes to the boys
who are doing our fighting
for us.
LAST CALL TONIGHT for
“Hit the Deck", so maybe wed
better run a few notes about
those hard-working school dra
matists who did such a splendid
job on the stage last night . . .
and will be worth seeing again
tonight. . . .
Loo Loo, that attractive lit
tle lady who operates a coffee
house for gobs In Newport, R.
L, was played by Cleo Carlos
last night . . . and Elizabeth
Darling will assume the role
tonight. . . . Cleo, who lives
at 593 North Gratiot, has real
red hair, is in 10-A, has one
brother in the navy and has
already distinguished herself
with a year’s work in the A
Cappella choir. . . . Elizabeth
is a 12-B student, has two
brothers in “flit the Deck”,
four years’ experience in the
choir, and played a junior
plav lead.
THEN COMES ONE “Bilge”
Smith, who happens to be the
gob Loo Loo falls for at first
sight. . . . He's the handsome
(don't you think so, girls?)
president of the A Cappella
choir with three years’ rating;
is valedictorian; a 12-A man,
and lives at 12 Madison avenue
under the wing of his proud
father, a champ salesman. He's
Boh Magarv!
Ensign Clark, Charlotte and
Toddy are the triumvirate
who happened into the coffee
shop that rainy day, with Al
vin Meitz playing the part of
the handsome ensign who al
ways has his two sophisticated
girl friends in tow. ... or
maybe it's another convoy.
Charlotte is played by choir
freshman Molly Smith, of 10-
A. whose first appearance on
a stage was at the tender age
of six months. . . . Lois
Broughton makes a good Job
of Toddy's role. Lois is an
other 10-A flash, with choir
experience harking her up.
LAVI.NIA & LORETTA go
hand-in-hand, so as to speak,
Loretta being Rev. Grosa's well
brought-up parrot, and Lavinia
being an old Glee Club hand,
from Virginia Ave. . . . and in
11-A too. . . . Like a true art
iste, Lavinia (or Bessie) suffered
for her ?rt when one of the
first try-outs in the parrot role
nipped her hand. . . . But Lor
etta was a ladv!
“Hit the Deck” might be
termed “Too Many Smiths
Spoil the Loo Loo”, because
Loo Loo in her search for all
the l*. S. Navy Smiths runs
into Bat, Mat and Bunny. . . .
played by Don Darling, Ted
DeGroot and Wellman Mil
ler respectively. . . . Don
(10-A) is a brother of Eliza
beth and has two years’ choir
experience. ...Ted has work
ed before the footlights and
behind the backdrop in sev
eral productions, and is a post
graduate with choir eperience.
Wellman (what do they call
you for short?) . . . Well,
lives at 165 South Broadway,
is a Masque & W’igger, and
rates high in the 11th grade.
THE REST OF THE GANG
are swell, too, including George
Hargreaves, son of the Edison
Flash, as Captain Roberts; Wes
ley Carlos, as Dinty Smith;
Richard Lacey, as Donkey
Smith; Ed. Anderson, as Chick
McGee; Larry Trombley, as a
C. P. 0., Dan Knepp, as Ming
Fang (what a delightful name
. . . for a thug), Frankie Cahill,
as the Mandarin; Charles Phil
lips, as a Marine, and Sonia
Vladeff, as Rita, a Red Cross di
rector in China.
Congratulations to all of
you. . . . and to the choral
department and other groups
which made such a swell show
possible.

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT,
the City Health Officer, and all
those folks who are planting
Victory Gardens, ask everyone
to keep their dogs tied up, or
under good control on their own
property during the summer
months. . . . for the period of
the state dog quarantine. . . .
so that no nasty penalties will
have to be imposed or dogs im
pounded . . . No well-cared
for pet should he allowed to run
wild, especially during warm
weather when rabies bugs are
prevalent and clean drinkuiß
water (an absolute necessity for
a healthy animal) is hard to lo
cate. . . . Please take care of
your pet this summer . . and
be considerate of other people's
welfare.

Three reels of colored movies
produced by Ducks. Unlimited,
were shown to members of the
Rotary Club and their guests at
yesterday's we e k 1 y luncheon
meeting at the Medea Hotel.
Charles Chapman of Detroit,
acting secretary for Dinks. Un

mentary during the showing,
explaining how his orgnization
was bringing back the wild duck
population through restoration
and protection of nesting
grounds in Canada. The program
was presented by Howard Fen

Members of the Kiwanis Club
bowling team were present as
guests of Rotary bowlers as a
payoff for the recent Kiwanis
victory in a match at the Bowl-
O-Drome A special table was
cleverly decorated with bowling
pins and bowling balls. Sports
Chairman John Nunneley attri
buted his club's defeat largely
to the fact that the Knvanis had
classy bowling shirts while his
team had none so a fund was
started (largely at the expense
of the Kiwanian guests) to pro
vide shirts for next season.
