SIX ADRIAN DAILY TELEGRAM, ADRIAN, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 9. 1942 ADRIAN NEWS IN BRIEF BIRTHS Bom, this morning, in Bixby hospital, to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Buehrer of 163 Budlong Street, a daughter. Born, this morning, to Mr.

and Mrs. Harold Rohrback of Britton, In Bixby hospital, a son. Poliee Work Arrests by members of the city police force during March nearly doubled the number of arrests during the same month last year. A total of 110 arrests were made last month as compared with only 62 in March, 1941. The total number of bookings last month, which include 62 lodgers who spent the night in the basement of the city hall, was 172.

Persons charged being drunk and disorderly totaled 20 while three more were arrested for breaking and entering. Other arrests included one for leaving the scene of an accident; one for reckless driving; two for drunk driving; one for larceny of an automobile; one for vagrancy; three for investigation and 78 for miscellaneous traffic offenses. Speeders were much more numerous last month with 14 arrests as compared with five on that charge last year in March. Overtime parking arrests totaled 33. Night police found 71 street lights out of order during the month and the doors of 57 business places unlocked after closing hours.

How About a The Lenawee county draft board, deep in the work of classifying men who registered for military service February 16 and preparing for a registration of occupational skills among men between the ages of 45 and 64 April 27, would have their work eased considerably if a typewriter with a roller from 13 to 18 inches wide could be borrowed for a few days. Only one typewriter of this size is now in use at draft board, and file covers i2 inches wide are being typed. With only one typist able to work on a list of 3,100 names, the work is going slowly. The typewriter needed is used for bank statements and other papers wider than the average. Harry P.

Cole, clerk of the board, said that the loan of such a machine would be deeply appreciated. Boys Are Hobby week in the seventh grade art classes in the Adrian junior high school has brought out some unusual projects.

The rate of mailing in the future will be determined by the local draft board, but instructions to begin the mailing were received from state selective service headquarters today. Selective service headquarters have instructed local draft boards to take men from the 20-44 age group if necessary to fill their May quotas.

Sufficient numbers of men in the second age group must also have been classified to fill the entire quota for the month of June if necessary, draft boards have been told. The Lenawee county board has been filling its quotas recently from men who were originally placed in Classes 1-B, 1-H, and 4-F. All original 1-A men have been called. It was said today that a sufficient number of men appear to be available from the foregoing classes to fill the quotas for April and May without going into the second age group. Col.

E. M. Rosecrans, state selective service director, said that February 16 registrants should file with their questionnaires information on dependency claims or occupational necessity.

Associated Charities Aided Them, Now Good Deed Will Be Returned A number of families aided in other years by the Associated Charities, will this year be contributing to the Adrian Community Fund drive, Alan Taylor, president, said today, in speaking of the 1942 campaign that opens Monday. The Charities is one of the five groups benefitting from the fund. It is the aim of the organization to "restore families to social self sufficiency and a normal life," and through its social work this has been achieved to a surprising degree.

Two afternoons each week are devoted by Mr. Taylor and his student assistant from Adrian College, Roger Merrill, to dispensing clothing to needy families of the city. By the time the office opens at 2 o'clock the stairway and hallway outside on the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce building are lined with men, women and children awaiting the needed clothing. He Knows Them All As each enters the office, Mr. Taylor greets him by name, seldom having to check the card for the address or case history.

He has been supervising the work for eight years and is familiar with the family names, employment living conditions, and background of most of the 165 families served this last year. Each applicant states his need, receives a card from Mr. Taylor and passes on to the dispensing room where members of the Associated Charities board or the W.C.T.U. Child Welfare group are ready to find the proper size clothing or article. A surprising array of underclothes, children's suits, stockings, shoes, coats, and almost any other piece of clothing are arranged in careful order in the room.

Layettes lor expectant mothers are always on hand for needy families. Many of the individuals come alone, but just as often a mother will bring one, two or more children to be outfitted. When the needed article cannot be supplied from the garments in stock, Mr. Taylor will write out a slip for the family to take to an Adrian merchant. Nearly all the downtown stores co-operate and special prices are given on many articles.

Complete Ffle Kept A complete file is kept of the families aided. The full name, number of children, correct address, employment of members of family, and any other vital information are noted on the card. Mr. Taylor is aided each year by a student assistant who helps out in the clerical work and in making calls in the community.

And dresses and boy' suits and toys were also provider for the children of these families The relief agencies operating ir Adrian and the county are organ ized so that none of the work i duplicated.

The efforts, he said, wouli go much farther if the group: worked through existing agencies since they are familiar with th needs and worthiness of nearly al indigents of the community.

HAYDEN HI-LITES Hayden Floor Mills Tecumseh, Mich. April 9, 1942 MRS. EARL GRAHAM LIKES "1900" FLOUR Mrs. Earl Graham, R. F.

D. 3, Adrian, like "1900" Flour or she would not have taken the pains to have written such a hearty testimonial as we received from her April 1st I SO LIGHT AND WHITE "I had been able to please my family with the quali- of bread I used to bake," I said Graham, but it never was so light, nor so white as I when we used "1900" Flour. BREAD STAYS FRESH LONGER "I find, with I "1900" Flour, that my bread stays fresh long- i er," added Mrs. Graham. NOW BAKE I TWICE WEEKLY "I now bake twice a week 1 said Mrs.

Graham, "because we all eat so mi bread baked with .900 Flour. The Grahams now get their Flour from the Riverside Mills in Adrian. "If it is BUYS FROM RIVERSIDE MILL necessary for us to move again," said Mrs. Graham, "I hope to be able to still get '1900' Flour." HOME-MADE BREAD CUTS FOOD BILL With most foods averaging higher than a year ago the thrifty home maker welcomes the chance to cut the food bill by baking her own bread. It's logical, too.

If a product is so good that the family likes it well to eat more of it, you fill up the family at 6c per pound on real nourishment BREAD IS NOT FATTENING Bread requires little sugar.
