Rumor Control Center to Fight
Problem in Detr Olt and Suburbs
A Wayne County Rumor Control
Center has been established in an
effort to combat the rumor prob-
lem in the suburbs around Detroit.
The Rumor Control Center, lo-
cated in the Out-County Adminis-
trative Center, 3100 Henry Ruff,
Westland, is staffed around-the-
clock to answer telephone inquiries
from citizens.
The number is 721-6800.
The Rumor Control Center went
into operation last weekend, fol-
lowing a meeting Friday of key
Wayne County officials who map-
ped plans for a comprehensive
community rumor control cam-
paign. The aim of the campaign
will be to reduce tensions both in
Detroit and the suburban areas
by dispelling the kinds of rumors
which breed tension.
"All kinds of wild rumors and
exaggerations, most of which have
no basis in fact, are circulating
in the metropolitan area due to
the tension which, unfortunately,
has resulted from last summer's
civil disturbance," stated Mel Rav-
itz, chairman of the County Board
of Supervisors.
"The Rumor Control Center
makes it possible for citizens to
check the accuracy of what they
have heard by simply making a
telephone call. We hope all citi-
zens will make use of this cen-
ter instead of uncritically be-
lieving things they hear."
The Rumor Control Center is
set up to take inquiries from citi-
zens and give them the facts im-
mediately if available. When the
facts are not known immediately,
the Rumor Control Center will
check out the rumor and report
back to the citizen.
The Wayne County Rumor Con-
trol Center will coordinate its ac-
tivities with the Detroit Rumor
Control Center established recently
by Mayor Cavanagh.
Either of the Rumor Control
Centers will serve any caller re-
gardless of where he resides. The
telephone number for the Detroit
Rumor Control Center is WO 3-
9550.
County department heads map-
ped plans to enlist Wayne County's
8,000 employes in the campaign
to combat rumors.
County employes will be asked
to report to designated persons in
their departments any rumors
about alleged incidents or prepara-
tions for civil strife that they find
circulating in their neighborhoods
or departments.
Printed materials pointing out
the dangers of the rumor process
and calling attention to the exis-
tence of the rumor control tele-
phone numbers will be distributed
through the county employes.
The planned rumor control
campaign also calls for distribu-
tion of anti-rumor material by
all manner of organizations in
the county as well as business,
civic, religious, block clubs, the
newspapers and radio and tele-
vision.
Officials in Oakland County are
being invited to participate in the
program so that a metropolitan-
wide, anti-rumor campaign can be
conducted.

Try and Stop Me
—
By BENNETT CERF
EEKING a divorce after thirty years of so-called wedded
bliss, Mrs. Feinstein testified under oath, "My husband
even curses me in his sleep." Interrupted the irate Mr.
Feinstein, "Your Honor,
that's a lie! I'm not
asleep."

The one-and-only W. C.
Fields used to explain that
he acquired his jarring
nasal drawl when he ac-
companied his father sell-
ing slightly spoiled fruits
and vegetables to reluctant
Ph il a dephia housewives
aboard a rickety grocery
wagon pulled by a decrepit
nag named White Swan.
While his father was short-
changing occasional buyers,
young Fields would chant
in a sing-song snarl a list
of vegetables that never were in stock. When housewives at-
tempted to purchase these goodies, Papa Fields would explain
that his son was an unfortunate half-wit—then clout him over
the ear when they were out of sight.
One of Fields' more outrageous acts was to spike the morning
glass of milk of his hated rival, six-year-old Baby Le Roy, with
straight gin. Then when the poor kid fell sound asleep in. the
middle of a scene, Fields exulted, "As I always have proclaimed,
the kid's no trouper."
