ANN ARBOR — Mayor Albert E. Cobo, seven years mayor
of Detroit, and now Republican
candidate for governor, Monday
night charged that Michigan is
ruled by "a little clique" of people who have done nothing for
the state in eight years.
Speaking at a rally" at Ann
Arbor High School, Cobo stressed the need for cooperation
among all citizens and departments of government. "This bus-
Judge Conlin said, "The children
put into the home were upset
enough. They would be made
worse, if the staff were in continual disagreement over operating policy."
During the "absence of Mr. and
Mrs. Rubensein following Mr.
Rubenstein's_iUness, the home
was operated by Harold A. Nielsen, Director of the Juvenile
Division pf the Probate Court,
who remained there during the
daytime. The .cook assumed the
duties of matron, "and a temporary cook was hired.
The judge said that he .did
feel that "from tlie time that
Rubenstein was taken ill and the
home was under the operation
of Mr. Nielsen that the childrfen
in the heme reacted much better
than theretofore."
The cook at the home is Mrs.
Clair Smith, formerly of Chelsea, and her husband, who is
employed elsewhere, helps at the
home week-ends. Both Mr. and
auc-|~Mrs. Smith live at the home.
"It is unforunate that Mr. ana
Mrs. Rubenstein felt the need of
resigning," Judge Conlin said.
"But we felt tliit we needed full
co-operation for everyone concerned. We have not as yet made
any special plans for their replacement but since the home
was operated tfor two riionths
during Mr. Rubenstein's illness
without any preparation we feel
the operation can be successful
until ^we find a replacement."
Mr. and Mrs. Rubenstein took
up their duties and moved into
the new home on March 15, but
due to the sudden death of the
late Probate Judge Jay H. Payne
the home was not in operation
until May. .The county had no
probate judge between April 17
arid Judge'Conlin's appointment
early in May.
Fire Prevention
Week Marred By
Dexter Blazes
DEXTER — Last week was
Fire-Prevention week but that
did not mean that the Dexter
Fire Department was idle. On
Oct. 8, at 1:20 P.M., they put out
a grass fire at the home of
Charles van Aken on Baker Rd.,
and at 5:00 P.M.- were busy with
a house fire at Greene's on
Parker Rd. The cause of this
fire is unknown, but it did some
$300 worth of damage:    *
On Oct. 9,. sparks from . a
Diesel engine started a grass
fire at Huron River Drive and
Zeeb Rd. and at^0:45 the"Fire
Department was called."
Oct. 11, sparks'from the chimney caused a roof fire at the
home of Joseph Lorette on C St.
in Dexter, which caused $500
damage. The call came at 10:50
A.M.
11:30 A.M. found the firemen
responding to a call to the village dump on Oct. 13.
The annual Fireman's Ball at
the new Fire Hall on Saturday
night OcJ_ 13, was a huge success. But Sunday things got
back to normal and at 1:20 P.M.,
a barn and two other buildings
on the Rev. Henry Campbell's
farm* were completely destroyed.
The same day at 3:05 at Robert Gustafson's on Parker Rd., a
grass fire was extinguished at
3:05 P.M.
iness of the governor not cooperating with the legislature is
a political manuever thaf s the
oldest in the bank."
"The governor has a little
clique running the State of
Mehigan today," Cobo said,
"and believe me, the state is in
worse conditibn than Detroit
was when I became mayor."
Michigan needs the same treatment."
Cobo pointed out that in his
seven years as mayor, cooperation among citizens, departments of government and the
mayor's office have been such
that no project has ever been
turned down. While $688. million dollars have been spent in
improvements, Detroit lias had
no increase in debt and no increase in taxes until the last two
years, when property taxes were
raised 2y2 cents per thousand
dollars.
"If you've got a $10,000
house," he explained, "you now
pay 25c per year more than you
did seven years ago."
Even without raising taxes or
increasing the debt, Cobo said,
the City of Detroit pays its employees more- than the automobile companies pay thfeirs.*'
Cobo explained that the "vast
improvement program in Detroit" had been brought about
with the advice and aid of experts in all fields. "The governor
is making a great point of my
saying that I don't know how to
farm," he said. "I don't know
how to build a building, either.;
we've got some beauties, though,
haven't we?"
Prior to the rally, Cobo consulted with members of the
Washtenaw County Republican
Farm Committee, chairmanned
by Bill Hayes, York Township.
Commenting on the beauty of
the new Ann Arbor High School,
Cobo remarked, "Everybody
likes nice things like this, and
we want more of them . . . but
we must do it within the ability
of the people to pay. Otherwise,
you defeat your purpose."
GROUNDWORK CONTINUES in preparation for the building
of a new high sehool in Dexter.-Shown"above,-a surveyor "for the
building architect checks elevations at the-high school across Baker Road from the Bates Elementary School. "I'm standing ri^ht
in the middle of the biologj^classroom, "the surveyor said, after
checking his readings and his1 blueprints.
