State T r e a s u r e r D. H a l e B r a k e r e cently computed t h e d e b t s of Michigan local go v e r n m e n t s a n d p r o d u c e d this good news: G o v e r n m e n t a l i n debtedness decreased $67,000,000 b e t w e e n J u n e 30, 1941, a n d J u n e 30, 1942. In seven years local g o v e r n m e n t s have paid off a p p r o x i m a t e l y $100,000,000. Out of t h e 532 million dollar I O U's existing o n e year ago, 455 millions w e r e in Wayne, O a k land and Macomb counties—the Detroit metropolitan area. T h e gove r n m e n t a l units include 6,353 school districts, 1,266 township, 309 villages, 165 cities a n d 83 counties. When n e w restrictions a r e imposed on gasoline use in Michigan, don't be surprised. Unless Washington can f i g u r e out ways to get m o r e supplies into t h e East, Michigan motorists will get f e w e r coupons and t h e coupon values will be deflated. I n vasion r e q u i r e m e n t s a r e said to be t r e m e nd o u s a n d shocking. Eastern congressmen h a v e also raised t h e cry of "discrimination." Mlohlcan Republicans a r e interested in t h e s t a t e m e n t b y Wendell L. Wilkie, recent visitor in Detroit, that Michigan and Ohio w e r e k e y states for 1944. Wilkie's stock is r e ported to be increasing here, despite t h e Owosso boom f o r Tom Dev/ey. Possible reason: T h e w a r importance of foreign relations. Bonus r e c o m m e n d a t i o n by G o v e r nor H a r r y F . Kelly at Columbus, Ohio: State g o v e r n m e n t s should supplement f e d e r a l p a y m e n t to r e t u r n ing servicemen, but only a f t e r Washington acts.

T h e Michigan governor's talk a t Columbus stressed t h e theme, "we won t h e w a r a n d lost t h e peace" and he urged t h e Republican party to r e t r e a t f r o m isolationism on t h e premise t h a t "the U n i t e d States is inescapably a part of w o r l d civilization." Brig. General L e R o y Pearson, state selective service director, a n nounces t h a t 40,000 Michigan m e n f a c e military service b y e n d of 1943. Approximately 80,000 m e n h a v e been deferred to d a t e for occupational reasons. C a p i Donald S. L e o n a r d , state d i rector of civilian defense, objects to f e d e r a l policies restricting use of gas masks, h e l m e t s and similar protect i v e equipment for a i r raid personnel. Distribution is n o w limited to cities.

Lake Michigan Beach jpe Thursday, the Woman's Club having a potluck luncheon with cards and bunco following. About 30 ladies attended. Parties will c o n t i n u e throughout the summer every Thursday afternoon; the one of J u n e 24th will be a potluck luncheon and the husbands are invited. Our caretaker, "Bill" Vosberg, has had a heart attack and was quite sick for a f e w days; however, when we went to the clubhouse last weekend he was up and doing things that he felt just could not go undone. We hope he will take it easy now so that he will be with us during the summer months. The trees and shrubbery set out by the Woman's Club are doing very well and add much to the beauty of the entrance. Speaking of trees and shrubs, we think it might be interesting to Coloma readers to know about the beautiful iris we have at the Beach, Iris, being Coloma's adopted flower. The Homer Baum and Harry Lifton gardens have a collection of iris worth seeing. It is quite noticeable and very gratifying to see the many homes improving and the making of lawns and flower gardens, bringing people closer to nature and the great outdoors. . The p a n y last Tuesday at McKones was indeed a success; 32 men and women met for a community supper and cards, netting $21.60 for the Percy Jones hospital. On the Friday following, five ladies went to the hospital taking ten wheel chair a f ghans, 100 records, many toilet articles, stationery and playing cards; the boys there want still more playing cards and asked for a chess table. If anyone has one to send to them we know it will be appreciated. One of the boys to whom we talked said he considered plasma the greatest life saver in the front lines, so when y o u give your pint you are doing a heroic deed. Mrs. Gunn is working to get together another bus load of donors to go to Chicago and wants people from the Beach to call her and reserve a seat. The trip will be made as soon as a load of 25 persons make reservations; it must be very Soon because the bus promises u s that it Is to be put up for the summer and w e must go before then, so phone in your reservations. Requirements are a normally healthy person weighing not less than 110 pounds and not over 60 years of age. Mrs. Ann P. Wilson Is going to be with us for a few days and Mrs. Gordon Blair Is coming for the season. Mrs. Robert Vogie, daughter of the Liftons, is expected with her son

David to spend at least a week with her parents. Betty Folkman said goodbye to her many friends last week and left Sunday for Chicago to entrain for Miami Beach, Fla., where she will go into training for about two or three weeks. Her mother went to Chicago to see her off and reported seeing a beautiful bunch of girls, all eager to be off and doing their bit. There were about 85 in Betty's outfit. We wish them all the luck in the world because we admire them very much and we know that they will be excellent SPARS. The Hunts are very proud of a new daughter which they acquired on Sunday, J u n e 13th, when their son, Robert, married. Betty Marie Leiby of Benton Harbor. Robert is in the army air corps and he and his bride will spend their honeymoon In Cleveland, Ohio. V Why the midgets gave up show business.

Millions of soldiers and sailors will be returhing from the far flung fronts; munitions and armareturf luantities, and millions of workers will have to be switched ment no longer will be needed in mass quantities, back to normal industry; and, pending the final disposition of lend-lease, and full development of our own domestic market, the huge production program of the farmer will have its complications. With all these things bound to come up, it is obvious that any studies leading toward the formulation of plans to solve these problems, will be of service In averting any hardships and confusion that might grow from them. Memories of the economic disorganization that followed the last war, both in the cities and on the farms, still are live enough to spur the present planners, such
