In Five Years of Depression Helping
Hand of the County Group
Has Done Much Good.
In five years of depression, the
helping handT of the -American Red
Cross in Washtenaw county 'has
reached into the homes of more than
'2,4:00 persons. Through the generosity of the public, this agency has
been able to succor many distressed
neighbors. Now it is asking tlie
whole-hearted support of the citizens
of the county.
'TNiext week will see the opening of
a new Red Cross Roll Call drive for
new 1G35 memberships, both here
and all over the country. The relief
loaJdl, according to Mrs. Nellie E.
Ball, executive secretary, is heavier,
than it has ever been before.
Basic needs are supplied from public fundfc within the. limitations defined by federal authorities, and in a
great many cases this is quite inader
kuate for family needle The American Red Cross is taxed to the limit
of its resources in helping to supply
the demandls made upon it.
Mrs. Edward A. Clark will have
charge of the drive in S&line, anid! she
will appoint her own committee to
assist her. • '

talk on the amendments and taxation:
As the subject of his talk was
mainly taxes, he first*, gave us the
following definition 6f a tax: a tax
is something paid for what we need.
He explained to us that the main
criticism, of our present system of
taxation is that we have lost sight
of the things we need and are taxing
ourselves for the things we want.
One example of this was our public
highways.
(He then talked! about the six kinds
of taxes and the reason for taxation.
The six are: poll, income, property
corporation, insurance, and the sales
tax. The reasons for taxation are:
protection, to help care for -our de

keep up the pace for the other two.
There is a new member on the Haarer team, Norman Ash replacing Vir
gil Brown, who has moved to North
pendents, the support of government, Adams. D. Noble took all honors,
and to promote education. The poll,
or head tax, which is so much per
head placed on every male citizen
over 21, is the oldest tax used. It
is easy to see and. count the heads;
therefore, it was easy to impose the
tax. TProperty tax, the next imposed
on the people, but it was not always
collectable. A tagzfir&s placed upon
the profits of corporations, but this
cannot always be depended upon. The
tax on sales and incomes could be
listed in the same way. He also
pointed' out that although the schools
received money) from these taxes, it
was not Thalf -enough- to run them
properly.
The next subject, education, he
pointed out -that its main sources of
revenue is the primary fund, the
sales tax, and the liquor tax. When

The Don Cossack Russian Male
Chorus, consisting cf 36 expatriated
former officers of the late Czar's Imperial Army, will be heard for the
third time in the Choral Union series,
Ann Arbor, on Monday evening, November 19, when they will give a
program of soldier songs, church
music and war songs.
The group was organied in 1923 in
a prison camp near Constantinople.
Their origin was unique. The prisoners felt the need of«a band, but
without instruments they were hopeless until diminutive but dynamic
Serge Jaroff conceived the idea of
developing a band from human voices. (He got together a group of his
fellow officers and! from memory, because theyi had no sheet music, he
drilled them in a series of songs
which soon made the organizations
famous, not only among fellow prisoners but among their captors. Later
when they were freed", but without
means to reach their homes, even
had this been politically possible,
they secured temporary employment
as a church choir. Shortly thereafter they were called upon for public performances and although expatriated from their native Russia,'
they were soon touring throughout
Europe and later elsewhere in the
musical world. At the present time
they have nearly three thousand per- '
formances to their credit.
They have mastered every variety
of choral singing. Everything about
them is dramatic, their entrance
upon the stage in martial file, their
vocal discipline and the electrifying
realism of their songs.
Remaining numbers in the Choral
Union Concert series include a violin recital by! Josef Szigeti, December 3, the only Michigan appearance
of the Boston Symphony Orchestra,
on December 11, when Serge 'Kfous-
sevitzky will for the fourth time present his band of more than 110 players; Lotte Lehmann in her Ann Arbor debut concert, January 25. Jose
Iturbi, distinguished pianist of Spain,
on February 12. The Gordon String
Quartet makes its Ann Arbor debut
February 20. Artur Schnabel, emi-
net German pianist, in an all-Beethoven program, comes March 4. And
the initial appearance of the Cleveland Symphony1. Orchestra, under its
electrifying new conductor, Artur
■Rodzinski, TMjarch 28.

arranged and will be presented at
the Methodist church Sunday evening undter the direction of Thane
TMfcDonald. All are cordially invited
to attend:

YPSILANTI DUCK HUNTERS
DROWN TIN MUD LAKE
iLast Saturday morning Harold
McLaughlin and Buster Vail, two
young men from Ypsilanti, were
drowned in Mud lake while on a
duck hunting trip. The two men
went to their blind while their companions, Daniel Leabu "and Jack
Starwas, circled the edge of the lake.
While ducks were flying over the
blind no shots were heard and upon
investigation the overturned boat
was found.
Troopers Wixom and Allen of this
place started' to drag, the lake, but
not until Sunday noon, and with the
aid of other officers', the bodies Were
fGund in about 25 feet of water;
They were at once removed to Ypsilanti and no inquest will be held. As
there were no witnesses of the accident, it is not known what made the
boat capsize.—Clinton Local.

DOES AN EAGTEB
SCREAM OR. SCRATCH'.
Does an American eagle scream or
scratch is the question that can be
answered by Howard Doty, carrier
on route 3.
An American eagle had been tormented by crows and- it had been impounded by Zeno Karnieki and Mr.
Doty was asked to come and see it.
They thought it had been wounded
in some way and when Howard took
hold of the wing to look beneath it,
the eagle swung around and fastened
one of his talons in the fleshy part
of his leg and not only tore his pants
into shreds but left some ugly marks
in the flesh.
Howard -says, "Let the eagle
scream, but keep away from him."—

If anyone has an idea that -wild
boars did not roam this part of the
earth at one time, all they have to
do is call upon F. A. Reiman, well
known Plymouth carpenter, and ask
him to see the skull and tusk of a
wildl boar he discovered while hunting in the northern part of Washtenaw county west of Whitmore
lake. Mr. Reiman was tramping
over a swail when he happened to
notice a portion o'f a rather unusual
looking skull protruding from the
ground1. He picked, it up and discovered that on one side of it was a circular tusk some four inches long. He
hunted for the other one, but it could
not be foundi. This is the first time
that such a discovery has ever been
made in this part of the state, although naturalists claim that_ animals of this sort did at one time inhabit this part of the North American continent.—Plymouth Mail.

EVERYTHING IN BTOLDING MATERIALS In Five Years of Depression Helping Hand of the County Group Has Done Much Good. In five years of depression, the helping handT of the -American Red Cross in Washtenaw county 'has reached into the homes of more than '2,4:00 persons. Through the generosity of the public, this agency has been able to succor many distressed neighbors. Now it is asking tlie whole-hearted support of the citizens of the county. 'TNiext week will see the opening of a new Red Cross Roll Call drive for new 1G35 memberships, both here and all over the country. The relief loaJdl, according to Mrs. Nellie E. Ball, executive secretary, is heavier, than it has ever been before. Basic needs are supplied from public fundfc within the. limitations defined by federal authorities, and in a great many cases this is quite inader kuate for family needle The American Red Cross is taxed to the limit of its resources in helping to supply the demandls made upon it. Mrs. Edward A. Clark will have charge of the drive in S&line, anid! she will appoint her own committee to assist her. • ' High School News j Two Tied For Lead In Bowling League SPECIAL P. T. A.

He explained to us that the main criticism, of our present system of taxation is that we have lost sight of the things we need and are taxing ourselves for the things we want. One example of this was our public highways. (He then talked! about the six kinds of taxes and the reason for taxation. The six are: poll, income, property corporation, insurance, and the sales tax. The reasons for taxation are: protection, to help care for -our de A. Armbruster.. 126 136 Fosdick 153. 164 A.

The poll, or head tax, which is so much per head placed on every male citizen over 21, is the oldest tax used. It is easy to see and. count the heads; therefore, it was easy to impose the tax. TProperty tax, the next imposed on the people, but it was not always collectable. A tagzfir&s placed upon the profits of corporations, but this cannot always be depended upon. The tax on sales and incomes could be listed in the same way. He also pointed' out that although the schools received money) from these taxes, it was not Thalf -enough- to run them properly. The next subject, education, he pointed out -that its main sources of revenue is the primary fund, the sales tax, and the liquor tax. When with a single score of 205 and 515 for high total.

The group was organied in 1923 in a prison camp near Constantinople. Their origin was unique. The prisoners felt the need of«a band, but without instruments they were hopeless until diminutive but dynamic Serge Jaroff conceived the idea of developing a band from human voices. (He got together a group of his fellow officers and! from memory, because theyi had no sheet music, he drilled them in a series of songs which soon made the organizations famous, not only among fellow prisoners but among their captors. Later when they were freed", but without means to reach their homes, even had this been politically possible, they secured temporary employment as a church choir. Shortly thereafter they were called upon for public performances and although expatriated from their native Russia,' they were soon touring throughout Europe and later elsewhere in the musical world. At the present time they have nearly three thousand per- ' formances to their credit. They have mastered every variety of choral singing. Everything about them is dramatic, their entrance upon the stage in martial file, their vocal discipline and the electrifying realism of their songs. Remaining numbers in the Choral Union Concert series include a violin recital by! Josef Szigeti, December 3, the only Michigan appearance of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, on December 11, when Serge 'Kfous- sevitzky will for the fourth time present his band of more than 110 players; Lotte Lehmann in her Ann Arbor debut concert, January 25.

The two men went to their blind while their companions, Daniel Leabu "and Jack Starwas, circled the edge of the lake. While ducks were flying over the blind no shots were heard and upon investigation the overturned boat was found. Troopers Wixom and Allen of this place started' to drag, the lake, but not until Sunday noon, and with the aid of other officers', the bodies Were fGund in about 25 feet of water; They were at once removed to Ypsilanti and no inquest will be held. As there were no witnesses of the accident, it is not known what made the boat capsize.—Clinton Local. 566 608 The same night Dixie Gas took two cut of three from Recreation, mov- , schools they should, drmk plentty of - ing t-he latter into third Fiace wnile I liquor, etc. i Armbruster and Dixie Gas are tied • After he had explained to us the ■ for first In tnis Rame GroV^ win. i definition of taxes, reasons for hav- I Me was aDsent and Art Armbruster i ing them, and kinds of taxes, and ; t.owled m nis place.

Does an American eagle scream or scratch is the question that can be answered by Howard Doty, carrier on route 3. An American eagle had been tormented by crows and- it had been impounded by Zeno Karnieki and Mr. Doty was asked to come and see it. They thought it had been wounded in some way and when Howard took hold of the wing to look beneath it, the eagle swung around and fastened one of his talons in the fleshy part of his leg and not only tore his pants into shreds but left some ugly marks in the flesh. Howard -says, "Let the eagle scream, but keep away from him."— Carleton Messenger. would vote no.

A. Reiman, well known Plymouth carpenter, and ask him to see the skull and tusk of a wildl boar he discovered while hunting in the northern part of Washtenaw county west of Whitmore lake. Mr. Reiman was tramping over a swail when he happened to notice a portion o'f a rather unusual looking skull protruding from the ground1. He picked, it up and discovered that on one side of it was a circular tusk some four inches long. He hunted for the other one, but it could not be foundi.
