...Belleville, Ont., prankish striking pickets at the Stetson Hat Works forced watchful police to stand at rigid attention for 20 minutes at a stretch by playing God Save the King on harmonicas...
Minnesota. Director Sidney J. Williams of the Council's public safety division estimated that if all States had rigid license laws 3,000 lives would have been saved last year. The Council's chief statistician, Reuben L. Forney, showed that 50,274 persons will die in 1950 if fatalities increase as much in the next 14 years as in the past 14. Hopefully, Florence I.

Tall, lofty of brow, matter-of-fact, he is a shrewd master of church and business law, a rigid disciplinarian who will take no back talk from any Father Coughlin. Indeed, observers felt that, though the Church had successfully liquidated the "Coughlin affair" of last autumn (TIME, Aug. 17 .et seq.) by giving the radio priest plenty of rope, it was putting a strong man in Detroit especially to prevent any repetition...
