JUDGE HEALY OPPOSES
REORGANIZATION BILL

One of the leade.rs of the op-
position to the Welfare Reorgan-
ization Bills which will appear on
the state ballot in the coming
election as State Proposal No. 4,
has been Judge D. J. Healy of
the Juvenile Court. Ile has tak-
en the stand that the bills in
effect set up a commission re-
sponsible to no one, with dicta-
toria !power beyond the control
of the governor and the citizens
of the state.
Judge Healy spoke over station
WW..1 last Tuesday and gave his
reasons for opposing the bills.
One of his arguments was to the
effect that the new Welfare Com-
mission created will have power
to appoint directors of all pri-
vate agencies having programs
relating to children.
Judge Healy told his listeners
to be vigilant in safeguarding
their tights to Control their pri-
vate institutions and agencies in-
terested in children. He urged
them to vote "No" on the State
Proposal No. 4 in order to con-
tinue the traditions and ideals of
the American form of govern-
ment.

VOTE NO--AMENDMENT 3

Proposed Amendment No. 3 to the Constitution
of the State of Michigan in the coming election,
Notrember 8, is another selfish and vicious proposal
that should be defeated. It provides that all future
gasoline and automobile license money shall
FOREVER be earmarked for road building pur-
poses. This is purely a legislative matter to be
determined by the State Legislature and should
never be a part of the State Constitution—the
basic law of the State.
The automobile has brought need for other
expenses in government besides that of roads,
among which are policing of roads, safety educa-
tion, and transportation of school children. No one
knows what emergency may arise or what prob-
lem may be presented that will cause the State of
Michigan to make use of these funds.
Safeguard Michigan's Constitution by keeping
it free of purely legislative matters.

Elissa Landi M Cass Town
Hall on Friday

•
Detroit Town Hall, at the Cass
Theater, is presenting Elissa
Landi, young, beautiful, noted
stage and screen star, and suc-
cessfulauthor, on Friday morn-
ing, Nov. 11, at 11 o:clock. Miss
Landi will discuss the theater
from the point of view of one
who has played leading parts on
both the stage and the screen and
will demonstrate "The Difference
Between Sage and Screen Act-
ing."
Miss Landi's background and
experience permit her to speak
authoritatively on the subject of
the theater. Born of Austrian
parents, in Venice, after a few
years in Canada, she returned to
Europe and traveled extensively,
till the war forced a permanent
residence in London. Her studies
with dancing, singing and music
followed her interest in writing
and her first novel was published
when only thirteen.

JUDGE EDWARD

COMMAND

Probate Judge

Republican

QUALIFIED—EXPERIENCED

Judge Command's record on the bench has become an integral part of the history of the
Wayne County judiciary. Judge Command's sympathy and kindliness, his deep understanding of the
human problems that come before him have not only distinguished his own career but have served
as an enviable example to the younger men who have taken their places beside him in the Probate
Court of Wayne County. A bitter foe of bigotry and intolerance, Judge Command has throughout his
long service on the bench manifested a deep friendship for the Jewish people. He deserves your vote.
