PARTISANSHIP IN FIRE AND POLICE SCHOOL, CHARGE

Kealing to Protest Long Democratic List To Council.

Edward Kealing, City Council member, said today that he will protest alleged packing of police and fire merit school membership “contrary to non-partisan character of the schools.” *

Mr. Kealing, a Republican, said he would ask members at tonight's meeting why a preponderance of Democrats was appointed as candidates for the schools.” Records show that eight out of a total of 60 candidates for the police school were Republicans and that no Republicans were included in the list of 35 for the fire school. “Appointments to the schools should be made without partisanship and I believe the handling of | this matter was unjust,” Mr. Kealing said. : Mayor Kern's office said in reply that there are approximately the same number of men from each party now working in the Police Department and that a majority of of Fire Department members are Republicans.

Decision Up to Council

The Countil is to decide upon a request by the Park Board for $11,000 of the city’s share of gasoline tax revenue to employ six additional patrolmen for parks and boulevards. The six men would assist three already on park patrol duty. Eleven other ordinances are pending. ‘One would amend the zoning law to require special permits from the City Plan Commission on all _gpen air used car junk yards. Val McLeay, Commission secre‘tary, said he understood that a deleation of used car and auto junk yard dealers would appear to protest -passage of the measure, designed to ban establishment of the | lots in residential districts. He said that if Council does not ass the ordinance, he will “in-: troduce a new zoning law with teeth in it.” Another ordinance would authorize the Health Board to enter into

WHAT A WRECK CONSTIPATION MAKES

Constipation can dull your whole life. Headaches, poor complexions | — tired, lifeless days are often the 1" results. Also, many serious | diseases. Get rid of common constipation | now with a ready-to-eat cereal — | Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN. : ALL-BRAN brings you the two | things your system needs to act . naturally: “bulk” and vitamin B to help tone the intestines. Within the body, ALL-BRAN ab- { sorbs more than twice its weight in water — forms a soft mass, and | gently clears the intestines of | wastes. It acts naturally. Pills and drugs seldom cure con | stipation. You just keep on ine | creasing the dose and switching | from one laxative to another. I. Just eat two tablespoonfuls of | Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN every day, | three times daily if needed. Serve | as a cereal with milk or cream, or | use in recipes. Sold by all grocers |.— made and guaranteed by Kele | logg in Battle Creek.
