one bright spot in Europe's severest winter in a decade. Ski resorts
are prospering. En route to this
estimable winter sports center, I
chanced on one thing regarded as
just a bit dizzier than a novice on
an icy ski slope.
It concerns Sulpice-Les-FeuiUes.
That French village (population
2,000) is the scene of a "world-
shaking" experiment.
The United Nations, it seems,
has chosen Sulpice as the pilot
project in a world-wide experiment
in art education.
Cubistic Peace?
Members of the village fire de
Partment form one study group.
They were puzzled, like Fireman
Vallaud, and most others.
Fireman Vallaud, browsing over
Ws free UNESCO (UN Educational. Scientific and Cultural Organization) study booklet "From Impressionism to Our Days," was
startled and amazed by such fanciful pronouncements as:
"Cubism    is     the    reaction
against   the   too   effervescent
style   of    impressionists   and""
deals with nature through the
cylinder,   the spnere and^   the-

Money Comes  High
A business note from England
these days might be "this is the
place to go into the money lending
business." Bates in America certainly seem reasonable by com-
parispn.
One Judge Danckwerts told Lt.
Col. Edmund Harry Tattersall of
Surrey that 120 per cent interest is
"not too harsh."   •
It seems that firm of money
lenders made two loans of $280
each with interest fixed at 120 per
cent. It was pointed out that the
loans were without security and
that the colonel "must always
have been a risk" to the money
lenders. —
So, the court said, the Colonel
had to pay up.
Pilots Weary  ~~-
It was interesting to note that
American commercial airline pilots are the envy of British pilots

Have Harmonious Session; County
Queen Selected For Finals
Nineteen of the 1,366 dairy farmers of Washtenaw county were
highly honored here Saturday
night when the Washtenaw County
Dairy Council of SaUne held its
first annual banquet.
The almost 500 guests at the
banquet voted Miss Janet. Wheeler, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Wheeler, as Washtenaw County's Dairy Princess. She wiU compete in May at Michigan State University for the" honor of reigning over the officiaUy designated
Dairy Month in June.
During his duties as chairman
of the event Albert GaU made the
only reference of the evening to
the Fair Share Committee an offshoot of the Michigan Milk Producers Association, with which
the Washtenaw Council is affiliated.
Alluding to the Fair Share movement, Mr. GaU said, "They are
only a smaU segment of the MM
PA" He added, "Our objectives
have- a two-fold purpose: to see
that more hiilk finds its way into
public schools and to aid the distributor in, his educational program. Both goals have been attained and the work wiU continue."
Mr. GaU continued — "The
work this Council is engaged in
may be termed that of a 'construction gang' and not the work
of the present 'wrecking crew'."
It was indicated prior to Mr.
GaU's remarks that the Fair
Share movement has lost its main
support and would soon be in a
state Of coUapse.
The true highUght of the evening came when Paul Chaffee, a-
wards chairman, announced; the,
19 county,'dairymen with records
of over -.,400 pounds of' butterfat
production" per  cow.    'T>. v
Mr. Chaffee paid high tribute to
his feUow dairymen when he said,
"For the first time in the history
of Washtenaw county we honor- a
distinguished group of dairy farmers. These men are a credit
to their community and to the
breed organization which they represent. They have achieved a
high skUl in their profession and
we as the consumers of their products should recognize their ac-
compUshsents. They have appUed
a fine quality of nourishing milk,
cheese,   butter,   cream   and   ice
School's room mothers and mothers of other students. 5
Ernest Girbach, master of ceremonies, was introducet by chairman Gall. Mr. Girbach commended
the meeting as being the first
time that milk producers, processors, distributors and consumers
had been able to sit together at
a congenial, and cooperative meeting at the same time.
Mr. Girbach also introduced Dr.
Guy Hill, coordinator of high
school cooperation at Michigan
State—University, who was speaker of the evening.
