In a Detroit Saturday Night verse, swine are urged to abandon fattening for a slender, schoolgirl-like shape as U S A promotes vegetable oils. The poem laments the loss of the old pig’s plump, luxurious form and predicts a shift toward exercise and lean pork to please a dieting era.
The piece recalls how to spot a genuine wild turkey and explains Michigan’s wild birds disappeared decades ago. It cites historic sightings and hunts near Reese, Van Buren, Plymouth, Webster Township, and Pine Lake, noting differences in taste and appearance between domestic and wild birds. It ends by asking readers who actually bagged the last Michigan wild turkey.
James N Downey of Detroit ends his six year service with the state central republican committee. He finds women politicians a sad experience as women show little interest in candidates or parties and oppose each other over trivial matters such as clothes husbands and friends. Mrs Downey later influenced by her father in law explains the shift from disinterest to active political involvement.
A commented passage contrasts political and business women, quoting Anne W. Armstrong on Harper's Magazine arguing women lack outstanding business leaders. It notes women progress in business yet remain tied to clubs and social forms, while politics may offer influence but invites mixed outcomes. The author sides with Mrs. Downey and quotes Hoover and Downey. The piece ends praising the line that better to be a good cook than a good woman politician.
The Ironwood Times argues that beyond recreation and sports, the city must create jobs for its youth. It notes over five hundred young men left for work last summer and urges business leaders to consider General Motors timber lands and possible local manufacturing. The piece calls for action to attract industry, stabilize employment, and fund hockey through broader patronage.
