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.

A total of 110 arrests were made last month as is compared with only 62 in March, total number of bookings last month, which include 62 lodgers who spent the night in the basement of the city hall, with WAS 172.

Persons charged being drunk and disorderly totaled 20 while three more were arrested for breaking and entering.

How About a 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 this size is now in use at the draft board, and file covers 12 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 KnittersHobby week in the seventh grade art classes in the Adrian junior high school has brought out some unusual projects.

This classification will not be sub-. ject to military service, but occupational skills and availability for Service in the growing munitions industries will be put on record. At the conclusion of this registration, only the younger men between the ages of 18 and 20 will be unregistered. 570,000 in State les at the college also give their assistance.

Money almost never is given, and if it is the recipients are expected to repay the amount. The busiest time of the year for the Associated Charities is the Christmas season. Baskets of staples and trimmings for the Christmas dinner were supplied to 88 families. And dresses and boy's suits and toys were also provided for the children of these families. The relief agencies operating in Adrian and the county are organized that none of the work is duplicated.

Mr. Taylor pointed out that duplication more frequently arises when well meaning but Illinformed groups or individuals scend on a family and shower it with gifts of, food, clothing and money. The efforts, he said, would go much farther if the groups worked through existing agencies, since they are familiar with the needs and worthiness of nearly all indigents of the community, Much Aid Given Never before has there year so many groups lending assistance, Charities, and so said many Mr. donations Taylor.
