TO BEE OR not to bee—that was
the question which confronted
Hugh Johnson, janitor in the gym,
last Friday afternoon. It seems
that a swarm of drone bees had become lost from the queen bee and
had accidentally found their way
into the gymnasium. The drones
flew to the top of the gym and
bounced against the skylight in
their futile effort to escape. Hugh
spent a good portion of the afternoon sweeping crippled bees from
the floor. Hugh claims it to be one
of the oddest incidents since he has
been at the gymnasium—and that's
been a number of years!

Book Review
Librarian To Speak On
"Books That Have Shaped
The World."
Charles V. Park, head librarian
at Central Michigan College, will
speak in W. 355 at five p. m. this
afternoon on "Books That Have
Shaped the World."
At last week's book hour, Mrs.
Louis Hutto gave an interesting review of the novel "Free as the
Wind" by Dascomb Atwood. This
is a light and engrossing novel
which tells of life in a Dutch settlement in southwestern Michigan.
The plot centers around the descendants of a young couple from
Holland. In May of 1940, when
Germany invaded Holland, a young
doctor, one of the great-grand children, is working there. He manages a thrilling and daring escape
with the aid of his sister who has
married an influential member of
the Nazi party.
At the close of the story, the
family is reunited and happy to be
living in a.land "free as the wind."

Blackout
Violators Are Subiect To Arrest; Civil Air Patrol To View
Set-up From Air.
Central Michigan College students will have an opportunity
to participate in their first official county blackout tonight from
eleven to eleven-thirty when Isabella county and all counties
south will "blackout" in an official statewide blackout. Civilian
defense agencies here announced last week that 41 counties
will be affected, besides parts of Illinois and Wisconsin.
City Manager W. K. Willman
said that violators would be severely dealt with, and indicated
that police and civilian defense
agencies regard the blackout in.
deadly seriousness. Whistles at the
college and other places in town
will sound at three minutes to
eleven. The signal will be intermittent blasts two seconds long.
The all clear signal will be one
long one. The city fire siren is not
a part of the set-up and will be
used only in case of fire.
Specific instructions are printed
elsewhere on this page. The rulings
will be enforced by the city and
state police, auxiliary policemen,
state troops and air raid wardens.
No private autos may be used during the blackout. All railroad operating lights will be on but city
traffic lights will not operate. The
blackout will be viewed from the
air by the Civil Air PatrolL The
Michigan State Troops will have
charge of stopping all traffic^
Central Michigan College is in
zone 15 of the city. This zone is
under the direction of Fred Newton. Newton urges students and
faculty to cooperate and save possible arrest.
(These ore extracts from the
state blackout law and the recently enacted muni ci pal
blackout ordinance.)
If you are on foot when the
blackout signal sounds, seek shelter in a doorway or in a house.
If you are driving, pull over to
the side of the road, turn off your
lights, set the hand brake and lock
the ignition but not the doors.
If you are home, turn off all your
lights or fix windows and shades
so that no light is visible from the
outside. Merely drawing shades in
most cases, will not suffice.
There is to be no smoking out of
doors. The light of a single cigarette butt is visible a mile away on
a dark night.
No intoxicating beverages will be
sold or served during the blackout.
All no parking zones, except
those near water hydrants and fire
alarms, may be used for parking
during a blackout.
Persons may not congregate in
groups of more than five.
All trunk line traffic, except interstate trucks carrying war goods,
is to be stopped by the community
at the city limits. Defense agencies
in smaller towns, such as Rosebush
and Shepherd, will be expected to
halt trunk line traffic also.
No private telephone calls may
be made, except in calling a doctor,
ambulance, or similar emergency,
or in the course of defense work.
