A tea was held :at the Livonia branch of the American Red Cross on Tuesday, April 11, as a fare- well to Miss Margaret Ayers, field director, -who is leaving to go overseas on :duty. Mrs. L. Wilson, the new field director, was intro- duced. The tea table was in. red, white and :blue and Mrs. Chester Tuck and Mrs. William Fenske poured. The following chairmen -attend- ed the tea: Mrs. Chester Tuck, vice chairman of the Livonia branch; Mrs. William Fenske, pro,, duction; Mrs. Myron J. Anderson, canteen; Mrs. L. Thompson, :home nursing; Mrs. Philip Longlev, mo- :tor -corps; Mrs. Robert Snol blood :bank nurse chairman, Rose- dale unit, Mrs. Warren Mason, surgical; Mrs. Fred Water, knit- ting; Mrs. Stafford Frances, sew- ing; Mrs. - William Burken, re- corder. Mrs. Austin Ault and Mrs. Ed- ward Zopff served. Saturday careful long-term :planning for their children's education is that the number of •children in :the township under 5 years ;of age is almost twice the number from 10 to 14, inclusive. This means that there will be a steady increasein school membership, even though no more people move into this area. It is felt that the consoli- dated district could plan much more effectively -and economically for this increase. The Livonia township people are aware of the necessity of se- lecting five :of their outstanding citizens to the neve township school board when consolidation becomes effective, if they are to protect .their ;gains. To that end there has already been some dis- cussion as to the availability of certain persons for membership. It is felt that the most desirable candida,will be those who are drafted into service rather than self-starters. It is to the distinct :credit of all the people of the township that this entire campaign has been conducted in a spirit of neighbor- liness land fairness without per- sonalities entering into, the ,pic- ture. Such a spirit, they believe, will insure the success of the consolidation when voted. Drama CIub to Present Assembly Students will be entertained by two comedies to be given :by the Drama :club in assembly next week. Both junior and senior high grades will see :the plays, which are :under .the direction of Mrs. Bixler. The names of the comedies are "Let's Elope" :and "When I Was Young." Connie Moncrieff, Stanley Burden, Betty Jean Duff, Ray Runkel and John Hopkins compose the cast for the first .play,. and Joan Gilles, Bab Minock, Lor- raine Nichol, George Waters, Georgia Burkeholder land Eliza- beth Neal will present the sec- ond one. St. Joseph's Circle Study club of the St. .Michaels parish will meet at the :home of Mrs. Ber- nard McGrath at 31520 West Five Mile road on Tuesday, April 25. Members :are requested to be at the meeting at 8 p.m. as there will be a guest speaker :at the meeting. At 9 ,p.m. there will be a social period. Refreshments will be served. Shows Pictures �OF Camp Custer On Wednesday evening, April 12, the regular meeting of "the Women's auxiliary of the Rose dale Gardens Presbyterian church. was held. After a short business meeting, Mrs. G. Muth, program chairman, introduced .the speaker of the evening, Gadiel Gunderson Of ithe Christian Service league, who told :of the work that is be- ing Clone at the victory center just outside Camp Custer for the men in service. He also told of the work that is being done throughout the south by this or ganization with a 26-fo6t trailer which sets up its headquarters in towns near our large camps, and the experiences that they have in their contacts with :our boys. -Following his talk, Mr. Gunder- son Showed colored films of the induction center at Camp Custer,' part of the training that is done there and several pictures of the victory center and the many and varied activities that are carried on there. At the end: of the program, a silver collection was taken and presented to Mr. Gunderson to further the work ;of :the Christian Service league. Tea was then served, with Mrs. E. Whittington, Mrs. H. Walborn, Mrs. C. J. Smith and Mrs. L. Taylor as hostesses. Mrs. Robert' Burns led the devotional which opened the program.

More in Series of School Plans The United States office of edu- cation committee, under the di- rection of Dr. John Guy Fowlkes, in the pamphlet entitled "Plan- ning Schools for Tomorrow," has provided information which should be useful to individuals and groups interested in improv- ing their local schools. What is the major objective of a school? Of course, full .human development which provides ex- pression for inherent potentiah- ties. "Therefore," states Dr. Fowlkes, "the essential offerings in a school program must be wide and va- ried. The basic point of view around which a school must be organized is that the school exists only for the discovery and de- velopment of human abilities and cualities. In other words, that the school exists in order that indi- viduals may learn efficiently. "The list of minimum essentials 1 for an adequate educational pro- gram is much longer than is now found in the majority -of our schools. At least the following upil services and experiences should be available: necessary formally organized teaching; ed- ucational and vocational guid- ;nee; library services; extracur- ricular activities; work experi- ence; junior placement services; transportation facilities; lunch fa- cilities; health services, including nutritional, medical ,dental, nurs- ing and psychiatric; and camp experience." The only item in this list of minimum essentials. that is now universally provided is formally organized teaching.

There were also several posters showing which foods should be used as breakfast foods, which will be incorporated into a class notebook. The leaders of these classes, Mrs. I. Benson, Mrs. F. Weinert and Mrs. E. Zopff, are very proud of -the seventh and eighth grade girls who .took this course, and state that all of them have the ability to be good cooks.

The Study Commission not only sets this up as •a recommendation but names it as the first and basic step to be taken for the improvement of public education. Our Department has approved your plan for the reorgani- zation of Livonia Township into a single school district. We believe the reorganization plan is for the best interests of every child in the township. It will give you a school district with strength and resources to provide an adequate, strong educational program. I wish to commend the school electors of Livonia Town- ship for their -aggressive efforts and you may be assured that a favorable vote will mean that you are taking every step necessary to meet the growing problems of education in the post-war period. I am always happy to work with your county superin- tendent and with the electors of your school district. Yours sincerely, EUGENE B. ELLIOTT, Superintendent. What Earl R. Laing Says About It Dear Mr. Bakewell: I understand the citizens of Livonia Township are con- templating the proposition of reorganizing the schools of the Township into a consolidated School District. I do not wish to interject myself into your problem, but would like to see the project succeed. Michigan has been a little slow in recognizing the bene- fits of the larger district units. 'Education, like other problems of modern life, must re -think and replan its program. We are not living in the horse -and -buggy days. Space is becom- ing more and more negligible. The important item is the school program or curriculum. Around this program you build your schools. A modern program of education includes many added features and requires room and equipment. Sueh buildings and such a program cannot be supported by a small school district. Our children today are worthy of the best educational opportunities possible and we adults will be held responsible for not having vision and understanding or will be given credit for putting our vote on the right place on the ballot. Our legislators have shown a definite appreciation for better education and have appropriated fifty million dollars to help the local districts. Now it is up to the local districts to do some very careful and constructive planning. If we make serious mistakes, someone will have the problem of correcting them and in the long run the cost is greater than itwould be to plan right the first time. Considering the problems of education in the post-war era, Dr. Floyd W. Reeves, Professor of Administration, University of Chicago, recently stated that "it would be unwise to authorize new buildings for small districts under the present illogical and inefficient organization." I sincerely trust the taxpayers will be given all the facts before they are called upon to vote. Anyone so informed and one who appreciates the value of a liberal education for the children of democracy, such as ours, will certainly vote "Yes" and do what he can to persuade his fellow taxnayers. Wishing you every success in your efforts for better edu- cational facilities, I remain Most cordially, EARL R. LAING, President. of Michigan Education Association.

Nixon, Proprietor Conversati®n Piece PASTOR ... Did you know that Lloyd Douglas, author of that best seller, "The Robe," and many other books, was the pastor of the Ann Arbor Congregational Church for seven years? Ann Arbor is the locale for several of his books and some of the University profs are among the leading characters ... One of the Army boys was heard softly. sadly humming, `Goin' Home' after he had received one of his exams papers marked with a big "U" (which is unsatisfactory). TALENT ... The University con- cert band, consisting of 80 pieces, under the direction of William Re - velli, has 32 women in it as well as several service men. Eight girls hold first chairs. The reason is not the lack of men, but that these girls are some of the most talented and capable players Revelli has ever had. PAGING SHERLOCK ... Margaret Millar, wife of one of the English instructors on campus, will soon publish her seventh detective story Her last book was rated as one of the ten best of the year by the New York Times. PAUL BUNYAN, HIMSELF ... Called the campus's most informai of formal parties, the great Paul Bunyan party given by the Forestry Department of the University of Michigan is now over. Funny how clothes can change a person, women especially. Many of the smart look- ing campus girls would have passed for Sis Hopkins herself. And no one would have thought there was a shortage of lumberjacks if they could have seen the men dressed in their northwoods togs ... So that the boys in service who are located on the University campus might enjoy the privileges offered by the Michigan Union, they have been allowed to become members for the duration of their stay on campus. This en- titles them to use the library, bowl- ing alleys, billiard room, swimming pool, and other various facilities BRRRRRRR! ... Maj. Thomas P. Hazard, now serving in Sicily as a member of the Allied Military Gov- ernment, was one of the first officers in the Civil Affairs Class on Ann Arbor campus. The Major reports that his headquarters are situated in a house which lacks most of its roof His quarters even boast some fur- niture and water, although the latter is always cold, and much of it comes direct from heaven. BARBER -SHOP QUARTETS ... A big question at the University is: Which is the best barber -shop quar- tet from among the many different American colleges represented on the campus by the men in service. All quartets are asked to prepare "our numbers, their original "Alma Mater song," "Sweet Adeline," "Down by the Old Mill Stream" and one old barber -shop number. GETTING HER MAN ... One U, of M. coed who didn't want to miss the big V -Ball dance on March 3 �s doing something about it. She ran a blind classified in the student Daiiv and Box 15 has been swamped ,Avith replies from men. In fact, there was so much response that the Daily set up a date bureau to arrange partners for men and women who otherwise would not go. --v The people of Australia and New Zealand, whose total num- ber is only three quarters that of the population of the metropoli- tan area of New York city, lent the U. S. troops stationed -among them $247,000,000 worth of food and other supplies in 1943. iik it DE R &Oltl_ SSSS � 1.pOK At DeRoy's there is a style of glasses espec- ially made to fit your type of face.
