Dr. Owen J. Cleary
Addresses Rotarians
High School News
Talked    On    Relationship    Between
Service Clubs and American
.Legion Groups.
Dr. Owen J. Cleary, vice president and dean of administration of
Cleary College, Ypsilanti, Was the
guest speaker last week. His theme
was to show the relationship between Rotary and Americanism.
Being *a member of both Rotary
and the American Legion he said
that he could see absolutely no
reason why there should be "the
least bit of conflict between the
two. In fact in many ways both
ends. i . on shidnrl vxb gyk
organizations work for common ends.
Contrary to the attempt recently
to select the typical "American
community, Dr. Cleary maintains
that there is no such place. Any
community (worthy of the name
at least) in the country could
serve as the typical American, and
therefore why pretend that any one
is any more American than another';
Inasmuch as service is the basic
foundation of Rotary no Rotarian can afford not to participate in
community affairs. This is as true
of any citizen as well as of the
Rotarian. However the latter professes to be especially interested
in community affairs because of
his membership in the organization
which prides itself upon the service
ideal. Who can deny that America
is not a better place in which to
live because of the great community
activities   of  Rotary?
Some might question the function
of the International committee
work in Rotary, and think it would
be in conflict with Americanism
possibly. But such is not the case,
but far from it. "This committee's
work provides a most excellent common ground upon which fellows regardless of racial or national characteristics may meet and work out
universal desires as well as national.
Nationalism carried to the extreme leads to dictatorship: we
want none of that in America. Dictatorship and Rotary will not operate together. Consider Germany,
where Rotary has been suppressed.
Finally a Rotarian can well be
an improved American because of
his club service Work helping his
organization to aspire and attain
its objectives: he can well be a better American because of his vocational service work in whieh he
may gain a much needed tolerance
of the "other fellow's" means of
liylihood: he can certainly be a
better American, by activities in
community service in which he
serves his fellowmen: and he can
at least be a much improved American because of the tolerance policy
gained through the internationel service committee's work. Arbitration
around the council table certainly
beats all squabbles caused by people
carrying  a  "chip on- the shoulder."
At the close of the meeting a
motion was made and supported
that' Dr. Cleary be invited to submit his address in writing so that',
it may be sent to International Rotary with the request that it ap
pear in an early issue of the Rotarian. Motion was unanimously carried
Dr. Cleary was accompanied by
Rotarian John Larue. In addition
Walter MacPeek of Ann Arbor and
Bill Goings of Milan were guests
Both are also Rotarians.

A census of the unemployment and
partially employed workers on a
national scale was undertaken about
two wieeks go. The purpose of this
census was to find out the facts regarding unemployment in the United
States.
Ordered by Congress and approved
by President Roosevelt the census
was taken through the employees of
the postal department. One card
was left at each home and additional
cards for each unemployed member
of the family were procured from the
post office.
Information gathered in this way
is not to be disclosed ever, names
of signers wtere not revealed nor
are they to be made public ever.
All the facts thus gathered are for
the sole purpose of benefiting those
who want work and do not have it.
With this information the government can determine the tradesmen
available in localities, the kind of
work desired and the qualifications
of those desiring work. This will
enable officials to determine the
projects best suited to certain dis-
tiicta
At the Saline Postoffice 55 of
these cards were turned in. Most
of them were for more employment
rather than from totally unemployed.
It is hoped that the census will
prove helpful in solving the situation
on a national scale as well as for
localities.

One of Michigan's most important
cash crops was harvested within
rural homes last year. For the
farm women enrolled in home economics extension projects in home
furnishings alone they 'saved more
than'"$26,000,
■ There.'-were 5,618 women as
members of groups in 35 counties in
Michigan in the Upper and Lower
Peninsula but these members also
passed along tips to. 18,793 of their
neighbors.
Figures gathered by Alice Mc-
Kinney, specialist at Michigan State
College,' teU what these women did
to make savings within their homes.
Attics, space rooms and even
woodsheds contributed heirlooms and
antiques which were refinished. Old
chairs got new cane or rush seats,
davenports and couches and chairs
were recovered, hooked and braided j
rugs and floor coverings were made =
with cast off or inexpesive materials. |
Some of the women even tried ]
their artistic talents to add color
and attractiveness to their homes.
A total of 12,410 articles were
blockprinted. Wall hangings, pillows, couch covers and iuncheon
sets were made from gingham,
monks cloth, unbleached muslin or
inexpensive materials. Homes thus
gained color effects at low cost.
This fall new groups in many of
Michigan's 83 counties enrolled in
another presentation of the information.

Livestock, which, needs. back
scratcshers in winter may be
friendly to owners but are strangers
to the profit aide of farm ledgers,
lice ean cut into any possible profit
by animals consume more feed.
Proof of increased costs or lowered
production is found with all classes
of livestock. Horses, milk cows,
swine, sheep and feeder steers all
show less production of work, of
milk, or of saleable meat if lice are
prevalent.
In a dairy herd the decrease in
production with the same 'amount
feed may be as much as 15 per cent
as compared to dairy cattle which
are free from the pests.. Beef cattle
take on five per cent less weight
when lousy and they fail to be
smooth and take on lively coats.
Hogs and sheep show similar results.
Horses are hard to condition through
the winter.
Good louse powders provide a safe
and effective means of combating
external parasites during the -winter
months. C. B. Dibble, Michigan
State College extension specialist in
insect control, recommends treatment of animals with the powder,
because during winter months it is
unwise to use the effective and
lower cost method of dipping. j
Good louse powders, he finds con-"
tain 20 to 25 per cent pyrethrum or j
derris   or one-half  to  three-fourths *
per   cent  rotenone.    Mixtures  con- {
taining  sulphur or  sodium  fluoride]
are not effective  for  sucking lice, j
At least four ounces of the recom- *
mended dusts are needed on a large
animal and a repeat application on
any animal is needed in exactly 14
days.   Ready mixed powders can be
used. _ Homemade  dusts    are    also
effective with either derris or pyrethrum diluted with flour or talc.
