THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 30. 1944
The steel industry has perfected
a light guage steel which ii expected
to rival wood in the building of
post-war homes. Developed for war
needs, its use by the Army and Navy
has saved money and priceless time
according to industry spokesmen.

The City Recreation Basketball
League gets away Wednesday night,
December 6. There will be two
games played with the first start
ing at 7 o’clock. The pyblic is in
vited to these games and of course,
there is no charge for admission,
last year the games were well at
tended, and the spectators enjoyed
watching some high class basket
ball. If there are teams still wish
ing to enter either the Class A or
Class C leagues they may still do
so until Friday, December 1. If those
teams will call the Recreation phone
number. Wyandotte 1006, they will
be taken care of. In the Class A
league, eight teams have entered,
while the Class C for boys under
18 years haxe six teams entered.
So, you basketball followers, stop
over to Roosevelt and see the
leagues get started.
In the Detroit Brass and Malle
able Bowling League—Czopek fun
eral home has a swell lead of six
points over the fast going Mehlhose
Department store gang. Garwolln
ski has the high average for the
league with a 177.24. Riding in sec
ond place is McKay with a 167
closely followed by Kyte with 165
and Jonas with 164. The high game
is held by W. Lybik who knocked
the pins over for a Wautiful 243.
In the high three games Kyte takes
the honors with a 614. The high
single team game is held by Supe
rior Lunch with 911. In the high
three games lor teams Superior
Lunch also holds the number one
spot with 2604.
Last summer I had a little piece
in this column about going camp
ing and spending a few days in a
pup tent. The other morning I re
ceived a letter from Pvt. Albert
Pieper who wrote to give me a small
idea of what the camp life of the
soldier was like around the Alaska
Highway. At the present time Pvt.
Pieper is stationed somewhere in
the Pacific, Part of his letter fol
lows:
“I know you don’t know who I
am. but I thought I would write
and tell you about a little pup tent
life on the Alaska Highways. In the
spring of 1942 we left Seattle, Wash
ington. Four days later we arrived
in Alaska.
From there on for the next six
months it was sleep on the ground
in pup tents. A pup tent isn’t bad
if you have one by yourself. But
when you put your buddy in it
with you. that is when you feel
’ike sardines in a can. If you go
in head first. You can’t turn around
without crawling all over your
buddy. So you go in head first and
back out feet first. Just like you
would run a car in a garage. You
can t turn around inside,
i “Most of the time there is always
a drizzel of rain. The biggest part
of the pup tent sheds water like a
sieve. Once your stuff got wet, you
were lucky to get it all dry in a
i month.
Every day you worked in mud and
water and that water up there is
really cold. When fall sets in you
go to bed like a wet dog, and in
the morning you wake up and find
the mud is frozen tight to your
shoes and all the water puddles
have ice on them. So the first thing
J you do in the morning is jump into
your wet clothes and shoes. It
doesn’t make any difference what
clothes you put on, they are all wet
anyway.
“The mosquitoes there in Wyan
dotte are tame compared to those in
1 Alaska and the Yukon. The first
: mosquitoes come out when there is
still two feet of snow on the ground.
What they live on I don’t know.
In the last part of October and part
of November we got tents big
enough for six to stay in.
“Ypu don’t think it is passible to
wake up in the morning and find
out it is anywhere from ten to
twenty below” zero.
Well, my friends, you get the
general idea about what some of the
kids are going through. So —don’t
you think you could do a little more
and buy some of those Bonds? Kids
like that deserve all the help you
ran give, and are depending on you,
and you. not to let them down.
Thanks for your letter, my friend,
and lots of good luck.

THE WYANDOTTE NEWS-HERALD
STRAIGHT
• JIVE
By Maria Herman and
McGrath
Before I start beating my gums
about the things in general—l would
like to make known to you—my deer
public—that the purpose of this
column can actually be found! All
you reed to do is read between
the lines! (The place where the
asterisks are.) It is not the policy
of yours truly to slander anyone’s
good name. Contrary to most opin
ions—worse things can happen to
you besides your name in “Straight
Jive”.
It occurs to me, now and then,
(mostly then) that perhaps there
are a “few peoples” who misinter
pret the stuff my “wittle” ears pick
up while floating through the halls
of R.H.S. It is to them I say, “Don’t
take things so seriously. They were
never written to be taken in that
sense.”
• • •
Now that my conscience is clear—
I can write that letter to Santa
Claus and can tell him I've been a
ral good girl. Without fibbing!
• • •
Get set for a surprise!
The “adult-student” committee on
opening the youth center has met,
proposed and decided! Final plans
have been made and if everything
goes according to schedule it should
open about the second week in De
cember.
We re really getting a “good deal!”
The schedule which will probably be
adopted, allows us to be in the
house either after school or in the
evening, alternating each day. Sun
day is the only day it will be closed.
The “Snack Bar” will be open at
all times with cokes and chips and
the like, for a small amount of
money. Smoking will be allowed in
the lounge, upstairs, only.
0 0 0
Another plan hius been set up
where as the students can volunteer
for various duties in the house. Just
what all these odd jobs are that
we can do will be announced a lit
tle later.
Os course, this is just a rough
idea of how things stand and maybe
subject to change. But—isn't it a
pleasant thought to think that a
“pipe-dream” has finally been
molded into a reality!
Just think—no more “Juvenile
Delinquents.”
