A total of nineteen establishments
in-Clare county which serve bear, ale
or alcoholic beverages were checked
on the posting survey completed May
15th by volunteer workers of the local
War Price and Rationing Board, F. F.
Littlefield, beard chairman, said today.
Local citizens, who canducted the
survey to assist the Office of Price
Administration in protecting consume
er_- from inflated prices, found no violators of either the OPA posting or
pricing requirements.
All consumers should cooperate with
the board in. preventing future violations by checking prices charged them
with those posted. Only through such
cooperation can we prevent inflated
prices.
The required posters were found
properly displayed at all establishments and a comparison of prices
listed on the posters and the triplicate
filings with the board showed that
nineteen were complying with the pricing requirements. At all places, menu
prices and the filings were found to
be identical or menu charges- were
less than the ceiling prices,
"The volunteers appreciate the excellent cooperation which they received from most of the proprietors
during the survey," Mr. Littlefield
eaid. "Th3 majority of residents realize that the survey will aid those who
are complying with all requirements
by helping to assure that their competitors are not permitted an unfair
advaiitage."

Every American's Patriotic Duty
Meet the Gumbatsu—You'll learn
something.
If you think Germany's Nazis were
tough, take a good look at Japan's
Gumbatsu.
They are the SS, the Gestapo all
oyer again. But the acceptance ol
their fanatical rule has been far more
deeply ingrained in their seventy-odd
million slaves.
The Gumbatsu is an unholy alliance
of high-ranking soldiers, industrialists,
wealthy land holders and members
of the Imperial Household.
It controls Japan, absolutely. Diabolically clever and ruthless, it has
managed to get control of 400 million
others—nearly a quarter of the earth's-
population.
The Gumbatsu has taught its slaves
well.
The Japanese soldier would far
rather die than, submit to capture.
Death is, in his own mind, his passport to Heaven. If he were lying on
the battlefield badly wounded, and a-
soldier in strange uniform offered
him water, he would use his last ounce
of strength to kill the stranger.
He would then be dying for an allegiance the Gumbatsu had taught
him. The American soldier would
likewise have died. Because of the
Gumbatsu.
Read the statistics A hundred
thousand Japs killed. A handful of
prisoners. The civilians 'on a cap'
tured Japanese island committing suicide en masse.
All right. If you can neither capture a Jap nor succor him, you must
kill him. But that costs many more
American lives. And many, many
times more American bullets, guns
and planes. And more ships to transport more ammunition over more
miles.
It's a gigantic job to lick the Glit_>
batsu.
If it is to be done in any reasonable
time, it will take all of us to do it.
We must stick to our war jobs.
We must keep buying bonds and
giving blood".
We must get to realize, every one
of us, what we're up against in the
Gumbatsu. That's the quickest way Of
getting the Gumbatsu to realize "what
they're up against in us.

VETERANS OF WAR

Make Application to
Postmaster
to
Postmaster Frank Jackson has been
designated Custodian in this community of Veterans Administration flags
which are to be issued upon, application and proper proof to the nearest
of kin of our brave boys and girls of
the Armed Services who have been
killed or died in the Service of the
United States since Pearl Harbor.
Postmasters of Michigan and
throughout the United States have
noted that few flag applications have
been made by the nearest of kin ot
World War II boys and girls who nave
died overseas, possibly due to the fact
that in the early stages of the war
publicity was given that flags could
not be issued in such cases and should
the remains be returned after the "war
to the U.S.A. they would accompany
the caskets. Later the Ut S. Veterans
Administration changed their rules
and made it possible for the nearest of.
kin to obtain flags if they would present to their postmaster the War Department's telegram or written notification they' received of their loved
one's death.
National publicity was given to this
later ruling which many people must
have missed, but Postmaster Jackson
announces that he will accept applications for flags from the nearest of ldtt-
of departed Service personnel who-
are eligible to receive the. flags and.
