Some land prices still are going up,
-comparisons of bids in January and
August conservation department land
sales in northern lower Michigan
counties  reveal.
Sales in the series just completed
in late July and early August averaged -6.50 per acre and $76.59 per lot,
where January sales in the same counties averaged $5.13 per acre and
$49.70 per lot. Parcels offered were
not choice properties, since they had
come into state ownership largely
through tax delinquency.
The July-August sales resulted in
the return to. private ownership of
5,460 acres and 492 platted lots at a
total sale price of $73,176. With min*
or exceptions for some lands which reverted to the state before 1933, all
proceeds' of the sales are returned to
the Counties for distribution among
school districts, county and local gov^
ernment units,
Income from the July-August sales,
(' by counties, is: Alcona $1(355, Alpena $2,335, Antrim $1,760, Arenac
$i,35&, 'Benzie $1,747, Charlevoix

The Armed Forces Leave Act of
1946 has been passed by the Congress
and signed by the President.
It now appears definite that all application blanks will be distributed
through local post offices and that,
when completely filled out, will be
mailed to the Finance Officers at the
stations where discharge was effected
(separation centers, for the most
parti. Payment in cash and/or bonds
will be sent the veteran from the same
place.
The original dicharge certificate will
undoubtedly be required as an attachment to the application form. It is
inevitable that some will be lost. Veterans should send them by registered
mail.
If the veteran does not know how
much unused furlough time he should
be paid for, he may leave this space
blank and the finance officer will compute it for him.
Sums under $50 will be paid in cash.
Larger sums will be paid in $25 bonds
or multiples thereof, with odd balances in cash. (A veteran having $136
dne him would receive five $25 bonds
and $11 in cash). Bonds will/be dated
30 days after date of discharge; thus
the longer a veteran has been out of
service, the sooner he can cash in his
bonds.
Bonds are non-transferable, and non-
negotiable except as regards G. I. insurance. They may be used to pay
premiums or conversion costs.
Furlough time accumulates at the
rate of 2i_ days per month for all
former enlisted personnel starting
from 8 September 1939. Number of
days of furlough actually taken (not
to exceed 120 days) should be deducted and the balance multiplied by the
daily pay fate (base pay plus longevity

that there was about to be a new arrival at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Herman Andrewvitch, Mrs. Marie
Bailey'expressed her hopes that it be
a girl and that she be named Marie.
Fred E. Bailey hoped for a boy and it
be named Fred. On May 14 .Mr. and
Mrs. Andrewvitch became the proud
parents of a 7%-pound baby girl,
which they named Marie. The June
first mall, brought an announcement to
Mr. and Mrs. Bailey of the arrival in
Michigan on May 14 o? a 7%-pound
nephew which was named Fred E.
Both babies were born on the same
date, were the same weight, and ea,ch
