His lordship obviously was, but no one asked him any questions. i 4- The American Legion treated 2,400 kids to the Shrine Circus Tuesday. They went on 50 buses from Cobo Hall to the Fairgrounds. There was a lot of yelling on the way. There was also quite a bit of hollering, whooping, screaming, cheering, shrieking, singing, laughing and eating after they got there.

If a poll had been taken, Bozo the Clown would have made president in a landslide with the parading elephants as his cabinet. The bus drivers who donated their time for the trip would have fared pretty well too.

and Mrs. Jerry Nugent of Waukegan, III. They are the parents of Airman Pat Nugent, whom Luci Johnson will marry sometime late next summer. The first lady has invited the Nugents to stay at the White House when they attend the first engagement party Saturday. They are expected to arrive Friday.

Although the Nugents and the Johnsons have never met, they did talk on the telephone Christmas Day after the President formally announced the engagement at the LBJ Ranch. The White House announced Tuesday that the Nugents have been invited to the Valentine dinner dance given by Luci's close friend, Helene Lindow of 'Washington. Luci, 18 and a student at Georgetown University School of Nursing, made up the guest list for the black tie party, to be given at the City Tavern Club in Georgetown by her debutante friend and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lester Lindow.

The trip will give the Nugents a chance to visit their 22-year-old son, who is on a tour of active duty with the Air National Guard at nearby Andrews Air Force Base. He and Luci have visited the Nugent home in Waukegan several times. Tony Turns to Toil Ordinary and Extraordinary Folks: Lord Snowdon, who used to be just plain Anthony Armstrong-Jones until he married Princess Margaret of England, is in India for three weeks working as a photographer for the Sunday Times of London. Mrs. Yvonne Tolley, 23, a Sydney (Australia) model-secretary, won a beauty contest in a bikini but got herself in trouble with the Roman Catholic Church about it.

Mrs. Tolley, a convent-educated cutie, found out afterward that a bishop had banned Catholic girls from the contest. "I think he's being a little old-fashioned." she said. The bishop said nothing.

What the Governor is saying, in effect, is that if the pattern of citizen participa 45 cents in stamps on the envelope, and the letter would go. But another hawkshaw turned it back with more official notices of forms to be filled out. Then Liz turned her friendly postman, Fred Scott, who toils the area come sleet, snow or dogs.

The Howard Pennington family of Grosse Pointe, including Laura, 15, and Alfred, 13, really gave the telephone jokes a going over. Examples: Margaret Graham Bell, the first princess telephone. Alexander Graham Chicken, inventor of the Yellow Pages. Alexander Alexander Alexander, the first telephone recording. Alexander Graham Attorney, the first telephone mouthpiece.

The Passing Parade Fifteen-year-old Liz Hayes has a pen pal in England. Liz thought the young lady might be interested in seeing one of our new copper-center quarters, but oh, what trouble to send it out of the country! Seems that Uncle Sam is really serious about preventing people from shunting capital overseas. Her first letter was returned with a note saying the letter must carry a customs form and be insured.

George Romney. Under the terms of Mr. Romney's program, which was detailed in our Sunday number by Roger Lane, the people of Michigan would be asked to do for free, and out of love for their fellow man, what the federal government is now paying others to undertake.

Let us briefly requote Mr. Lane: "Whatever your age or your circumstances, the Governor believes you can contribute immeasurably to a better society and eventually to a better life for yourself. "The contribution is going to be made in hospitals, nursing homes, pre-school nurseries and perhaps even in Jails and Juvenile detention homes. "The mission of Romney's Human Resources Council is to blaze a new trail through a thickening jungle of social problems crime, alcoholism, broken homes, school dropouts that are becoming an increasing burden on government." Wow. Hurrah, yes, but wow.

There will now be a short pause to permit the professional social workers to scream bloody murder, after which we will resume the program in full living color Ladies and gentlemen, the gorgeous thing about George Rom- success. However, one also must recognize that it will require monumental incentive and leadership to move our people out of the rut of lethargy into which they have fallen. Shall we recognize a of the obstacles? In Every Town large or small, with which I am familiar, and In every organization with which I have been associated, the same comparative handful of people have had to do the work. This is as true in Detroit as it is, say, in Tecumseh or Bay City. In the life of this metropolis, if you took 150 key people out of the mainstream of activity, practically everything broadly worthwhile would grind to a screeching halt.

If we did not have Walker-Cisler for example, we would have to hire eight executives to replace him, and they wouldn't get the same amount of civic work done. Keep healthy, man! The work of the churches, the parent-teacher groups, the clubs, societies and foundations is being carried by the few in number who are great in spirit. The rest of us are the goers, the enjoyers the reluctant contributors the critics George Romney would change all of this he would set aocietv afire with the zeal to serve humanity, for free.

I'll find you." He did, she did. Ernie Klee, chef at the Clifford Hotel for over SO years, has shifted his allegiance to Ben Feldman's Broiler Room at the Windsor Hotel on Cass. Take it from Joe Klepach, secretary of the Detroit Letter Carriers' Association, it is literally painful fee a postman to take a restful vacation. Says Klepach: "Even after only a two-week vacation, the mailman really pays for it the first fey days on the job. All his muscles ache, and it takes him some time to get back in condition."

When we grow older, sin clouds the mind, hardens the conscience and makes the heart irresponsive. You say "you try to understand." Nowhere in the Bible is comprehension or understanding made a condition of salvation. But faith is! The Bible says, "Without faith it is impossible to please God." God has promised salvation, He has given you the power of choice, so receive it thousands have, and your need and your capacity are no different. "God is no respecter of persons."

Somewhat in line with Alcoholics Anonymous, which has snatched a number of unfortunates out of the arms of John Barleycorn, Mr. Romney is proposing that dedicated citizens undertake the reformation of criminals and of delinquents, and that they further attempt to bring succor to the unfortunates confined in hospitals, nursing homes and mental institutions.
