CAREER STORY
OB Mk
ROBERT BENCHLEY, bora la
Worcester, Mass., on a September
15, has learned to make laughs pay
off ... His puckish sense of humor
was not particularly noticeable
during his childhood and his col
lege days at Harvard. Not until
he drifted into newspaper work
after trying his hand at various
occupations did he begin to gain
recognition for his iron wit. He
became drama editor of the old
“Life” comic magazine, and later
Joined the staff of the “New
Yorker” in the same capacity. His
pungent comments won him a na
tional reputation. Subsequently he
wrote several best-sellers and hun
dreds of short articles, as well as
appearing in musical comedy, on
the radio and in a famous series
of short film subjects. His work
in feature pictures has made him
enormously popular and his recent
credits include “Janie,” ‘‘Practi
cally Yours” and RKO lat
est twaefllm, “Pan-Americana,” in
which as a traveling magazine edi
tor he shares top honors with
Philliy Terry and Audrey Long.

SUPPORT THE
WORK-PILE PLAN
Two of the choices. Bill Durnan
in goal and Maurice (Rocket) Rich
ard at right wing were unanimous
while Hector (Toe) Blake, who was
given the left wing spot missed a
perfect record by a single vote.
The only position which was
openly competitive was that of the
left defense spot for which both
Boston's Jack Crawford and Ott
Heller of New York polled 16 votes.
Craw’ford won the first team po
sition on the basis of the greater
number of first team votes.
Better divided was the second
team, where two players each from
Chicago and Toronto, and a single
man from Boston and New York
won places.
Twenty-five players received one
or more votes. The teams follow:
First Team—Durnan (Montreal*,
28. goal; Bouchard (Montreal), 24.
defense; Crawford (Boston), 16, de
fense; Lach (Montreal), 25, center;
Richard (Montreal). 28. ripht wing;
B’ake (Montreal), 27, left wing.
Second Team—Karakas (Chicago),
12, goal: Heller (New York), 16, de
fense; Pratt (Toronto), 6. defense;
Cowley (Boston), 14. center; Mos
ienko (Chicago), 11, right wing;
Metz (Toronto), 81 left wing.
Honorable Mention Goaltender
McCool (Toronto) 3. Defense—Ed
dolls (Montreal) 5; Simon (Chicago)
5; Clapper (Boston) 4; Harmon

(Toronto) 3. Right Wing —Carr
(Toronto) 1. Left Wing —Cain
(Boston) 5; Davidson (Toronto) 1;
K. Smith < Boston) 1.
Every time Captain Bill Hollett
scores a point he is eclipsing his own
record for most goals, assists, and
total points by a Detroit defense
player which he set this year. He
has already surpassed Aler Motter's
previous record total by eight points.
Ted Lindsay has joined Steve
W r ochy in threatening Ebbie Good
fellow’s record of 17 goals by a first
3 ear Detroit player. Lindsay now
has 14 scores, one less than Wochy,
and while Ted lacks the assists to
beat Goodfellow’s point total of 34.
each of this year's rookies may end
up with part of the new mark.
The current Red Wing club is the
second one in Detroit’s history to
score over 100 goals at home. Prior
to last night’s game they had 104.
Last season’s club scored 131 times
at home, a mark which may well
elude this year's team.

Set Up Councils
for Employment
Plans for the establishment of
Pair Employment Practice Councils
in the major cities of the State, and
for the gathering of witnesses from
all over the state, to testify in be
half of the pending State Fair Em
ployment Practice legislation, were
made in Lansing by a state-wide
delegation after it met Friday with
Wallace Colwell and Robert Mc-
Closkey, aides to Governor Kelly, to
ask for a special message to the leg
islature calling for passage of anti
discrimination legislation.
The delegates, who came from
Detroit, Monroe, River Rouge, Flint,
Ypsilanti, Lansing, Jackson. Grand
Rapids, and Adrian, explained to
the Governor’s aides the need for
legislation barring discrimination
in employment due to race, cree/J,
sex or national origin. They dis
cussed procedures laid down in the
two bills now in the legislature and
heard a statement from Governor
Kelly reaffirming his support of the
National and State Republican plat
form in their endorsement of equal
ity of opportunity for all races and
creeds. No promises were made on
behalf of the Governor except that
he would study the report of his
aides’ conference with the delega
tion.
Will Hold Forum
on Military
Training Program
Capt. S. W. Curtiss will open the
arguments for compulsory military
training at the forum meeting at
the forum meeting at the Garfield
school auditorium on March 1 as
one of the projects of the Program
Planning committee of the Wyan
dotte Teachers Club. Capt. Curtiss
is of the American Legion, Depart
of Michigan.
He will be followed by Dr. Paul
T. Rankin, assistant superintendent
of schools in Detroit, who will argue
against compulsory military train
ing.
The speakers will be introduced
by Supt. F. W. Frostic, following an
introduction of the program by Fred
Staples, president of the Teachers
Club.
As is customary with any form of
program during war times, the
opening number will be the singing
of the Star Spangled Banner.
Following the arguments pre
sented by the two speakers, there
will be a question and answer
period at w’hich time any person in
the audience may ask a question or
offer an argument for or against.
This question and answer period
will be conducted by Robert Rat
tray, past president of the Teachers
Club and coach of the school's de
bating team.
The program, which is to begin
at 8 o’clock is without charge and
is expected by the Teachers Club
club to attract a large audience,
inasmuch as the subject is one of
the most vital before the nation
today on postwar problems.

Common sense tells you that
medicine, to be of value and
benefit to you, must be
taken —and lakeA exactly
as directed. The doctor has
excellent reasons for giving
the specific directions that
appear on the prescription
label. Read them carefully;
follow them precisely. If
they state "One teaspoon
three limes daily" don't
think that THREE TEA
SPOONS ONCE DAILY will
have the same reaction. As
a matter of safety, always
read the label on any medi
cine bottle as a precaution
against taking the wrong
preparation.
