"KEEN INTEREST BEING
TAKEN IN FORESTRY
Following up the work already
started by County Leader Hagen's
plan with the 4-H Rangers' tree
planting project, the rural schools are
giving some time to forestry study
during April. The studies were prepared through the cooperation of
County School Commissioner Haas,;
and the School of Forestry and Conservation of the University.
The exercises and projects are not
taught as a separate subject, but fitted into the regular school program
in connection with geography, read-;
ing, .nature study, language and
arithmetic. —
The entire series of lessons is tied
up with the better use of farm wood-
lots, and the reforestation of idle
farm land too poor for agriculture.
Attention is also called to the larger
land use problem which faces Michigan on millions of acres once covered,
producing pine, but now represents a
liability in their idle and abused condition. The opportunity of bringing
these acres back into the timer-producing column is featured in the lessons which have been outlined.
Foresters at the University and
county school officials report keen, interest on the part of rural school pupils and predict that this schoolwork
will mean greener country, more timber, and more game in Michigan.

SPRING SHOWING OF
GENERAL MOTORS CARS
A nationwide exhibition of air General Motors passenger cars, to take
place Qiiring "the week beginning
April 20th and-ending April 27, was
. an innovation announced by Alfred fP. Sloan, Jr., president, General
fMotorsT .The exhibition is to be
known as the General Motors Spring
Showing, and from the plans outlined
promises to' be the largest and most
comprehensive showing in the history
of the automotive industry.
Twenty-three thousand General
Motor dealers are to participate m
the event, each-acting as an individual exhibitor bfejjae line of cars he
merchandises"*!!' his. particular location. Allotting a minimum of five
display cars for each dealer, this
will mean that during the week more
than 125,000 General Motors cars"
will be on view simultaneously. The
.event will be suitably announced by
'nationwide magazine, newspaper and
outdoor advertising. The corporation's motor car divisions—Cadillac,
Buick, Oldsmobile, Oakland and
Chevrolet are co-operating to make
this Spring Showing a memorable
event.
For two years past General Motors has sponsored special showings
at the time of the National Automobile Shows in New York and Chicago
in which its entire line of products
has been represented. These events
have produced a great impression and
have attracted an' attendance comparable with that of the National
Shows themselves. Recognizing the
public's interest in these undertakings, it is decided that the various
communities all over the country
would appreciate similar showings m
their own locations. Thus the idea of
Spring Showing Week was conceived
and by means of it General Motors
will in effect bring a miniature automobile show to every community,
thereby emphasizing the fact that
within its own organization there is
a car for every purpose.
In commenting upon this program!
Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president, Gener
al Motors, said:
"I am sure General Motors has
every reason to feel proud of the accomplishment of our organization as
evidenced by .the products which we
are exhibiting in-'every community of
the country as a part of our 'Spring
Showing* Week.' Our organization
has; worked industriously and conscientiously and with every facility at
its command, in the development of
the products presented. They, have
not been the result of a month's or
a year's- effort. On the contrary
they represent -accumulated experience of a large staff who have been
intensively studying each individual
part of the problem for a great many
years. II? is only through such accumulated experience of actual contact with the problem that the present result is possible. Every time I
look at the modern motor car and
consider the value that the public receives, I am always impressed with
what this great industry" has accomplished during the relatively .few
years of its existence. Irrespective,
however, of how General Motors
products may be appraised today, our
organization has constantly before it
the General Motors policy of offering
increasing value, through evolution,
as circumstances make possible., By
striving always for something better,
something better will surely result.
As a matter of fact, I think that this
spirit has a great deal to do with
the tremendous prosperity that this
country is enjoying."
EUCHRE AS WAS EUCHRE
As usually happens, when one rides
the other fellow hard and long enough
the victim wiil turn and showr he's
not so easy as he'might be. And so
it came to pass with Art Armbruster,
and his pals, who have been telling
his "brother, Walt, that he didn't know
much about euchre and was afraid to
engage in anything like a championship contest. Walt accepted the challenge, marshaled his forces, the
York Tigers and Lodi Wildcats, and
descended upon the house of Armbruster, North Ann Arbor, last Thurs
day evening and trimmed their hosts
good and plenty.
The opposing groups were" Art
Armbruster and Adolph Lindeman
vs. Harry Cady and Walt Armbruster; Sam Lambarth and Lloyd Fair-
bank vs. Al. Hoef t and Chuck Dieterle. After the smoke of battle had
rolled away it was found that, the
first pair had been trimmed 13 to 6
and two -skunks, and the second
pair had lost by 13 to 6. And now
Art and his gang are somewhat
meeker in the presence of their
would-be victims than formerly.
-Twas ever thus—pride goeth before
a fall.
Death of Miss Edith L. Congdon
Miss Edith L. Congdon, formerly of
Chelsea but who had of late years
made her home here with her sister,
Mrs. Will Barr, and family, died at
Ottawa, Canada, April 10 and was

been" secretary of the Protestant Infants' hospital of Ottawa. She was

ish, military leader of the Plymouth
colony which settled in New England
in the seventeenth century and hero
of Longfellow's well known work,
"The Courtship of Miles Standish."
Miss Congdon was bom in Chelsea
February 28, 1867. She is survived
by two sisters, Mrs. W. H. Barr of
