Michener, Home on Brief Visit, Tells Impressions of Churchill "We are moving forward, a united people to a united victory," Representative Ear! C. Michener, home from Washington on a brief visit, told members of the Rotary Club at Wednesday's luncheon. "Everyone has a job to do, and that means you, and you and you.

We cannot all enter the armed services, but we can do our part at home. We can help in civilian defense and we can turn out' guns and more guns." Mr. Michener was a member of the committee from the Senate and the House that ushered Prime Minister'Churchill into'the Senate chamber for his historic speech before Congress and the committee later had luncheon with Mr. Churchill. Thus Mr.

Michener had an unusual opportunity to observe Mr. Churchill and he passed his interesting observations along to the Rotarians. 'I want to urge every one to read Mr. Churchill's speech," Mr. Michener said.

"No public pronouncement has so completely covered the war and told so clearly why the United States is in it It states the aims 'of the democracies and it tells-us why America was not prepared for what happened at Pearl Harbor. It is needless to say that all members of Congress were tremendously impressed. Bubs People Right Way "Mr. Churchill is one of the most human men I ever saw. He rubs people the right way.

The day before appearing before Con- he had attended a Christmas church service in Washington at which the Rev. Mr. Phillips, chaplain of the Senate, preached a sermon. At the conclusion of the speech before Congress he met Mr. Phillips who remarked 'Mr.

Churchill, I want to tell you that you are the world's greatest living Mr. Churchill replied, "Mr. Phillips, after your speech of yesterday you are competent to "Then Wheeler, the former staunch isolationist, was introduced to Mr. Churchill. 'Senator Mr.

Churchill said, 'you do me honor to listen to me." And the senator replied "Mr. Churchill, I'm glad to have heard "At the luncheon Mr. Churchill talked very freely with the ten of us. He was asked questions, and he answered them. When he did not rare to answer directly he was adroit in turning the query aside.

He also gave good advice. I call that Vice President Wallace, commenting on the growing unity in Congress, made the remark, 'I think we'll be able to make everybody come Quick as a flash Mr. Churchill said, 'If the President quarrels with the past, there can be no future. A war to be successful has to be a people's war. After Munich, there was talk in Parliament about political punishment for those who had been out of step.

I wouldn't permit it. We had one Communist member. Even he goes along with the government. That's the job you have to do over here." To other questions, Mr. Churchill's answers were always quick and to the point." Didn't Need Comfort Mr.

Michener also told of an amusing incident that Mr. Churchill related about himself. During the earlier bombing of London the Prime Minister one night visited an air raid shelter. Seeing an old lady seated there, he sought to comfort her, and remarked to her that the bombing was a terrible experience. The English woman replied, "Yes, but it gets your mind off this bloody war." Referring to the legislation enacted after Pearl Harbor, giving the President emergency powers, Mr.

Michener said that every law that ever existed to give a Presi- dent war powers- has been re-enacted. 'But every law has the provision that the emergency powers shall cease after the war," he said. "If the President does not yield up his emergency' those may be reclaimed by a joint resolution of Congress over which the President has no veto powers. That disposes of fear of dictatorship. Of-course the President is given broad powers.

He has to have them. But after the war those powers will go back to the people, re-establishing the American way of life. That's the way it is. There is no controversy in Washington." Mr. Michener spoke briefly of the labor situation saying, "I cannot imagine that the patriotism of American working men will permit strikes now that a war is on.

It is the working man's son who is going to be on the battlefront Is his father, through strikes or walkouts, going to deny him the guns he needs? I don't think so. That is not the 'American way. I look for no more labor troubles." FIRE DEPARTMENT GETS FIRST CALL OF 1942 The Adrian fire department answered its first call of 1942 at 1:25 a. m. Thursday morning when the awning of the Roussin drug store, at 120 West Maumee Street caught fire.

Taylor of the road commission said today that employees of the plant have congested the highway and strcats in the area by parking their automobiles along the highways rather than using the parking lots provided for them behind the- plants. Parked cars in front of mail boxes in the area have interfered with the delivery of the mails.

The no parking area will extend on East Maumee Street from the Wabash Railroad tracks east to Taylor Avenue to Drexel Park and on Naomi and Dorothy Streets between Maumee Street and Ruby Street Mr. Taylor said that the state police have agreed to co-operate in keeping the area free of parked cars. jSSm LENAWEE COUNTY GOSPEL TABERNACLE (INTERDENOMINATIONAL) McKensie at Maumee "For the Word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ" Menace of Special Interest Sunday at 7:30 P.
