Huntington Woods' Population
Doubled from 1950 to 1954

.

By the Oak Woodser
Twenty-two years ago, when
fluntington Woods incorporated
es a city and found itself on the
snap, it had a population of 650.
Now, not including the animal
population of the Detroit Zoo-
logical Park which is considered
'within the Huntington Woods
boundaries, the population has
Tisen to about 7,500.
For a small city, this record
of growth is amazing, and is
even more astounding if you
consider that the population has
nearly doubled in the last four
years.
In 1950, Huntington Woods
had 4,950 residents. Now it is
approaching its capacity limit
of 8,000. The first 'big boom in
population came in 1947 during
the post-war period, levelled off
for a few years until the big
Influx in 1950.
The city is bounded on the
south by 10 fi=t le Rd. and on
the north by 11 Mile. Wood-
ward is considered the east-
emn boundary, 'while Coolidge
forms the western fringe.
Although its sections are ar-
tificial, Huntington WooOds con-
sists of three parts, the Woods,
from Woodward to Wyoming;
the Bronx, from Wyoming to
Scotia; and the Manor, from
Scotia to Coolidge. The Manor
itself is divided into a 'number
of smaller subdivisions.
Contending with the rapid
growth of its population has not
been a simple task for City Man-
ager E. H. Waterhouse, and As-
sistant City Manager Fred L.
Yo•key. -
Working together with Mayor
David R. Calhoun and the
Woods' four councilmen, the
City Manager's office has had
to provide schools, offer recrea-
tional areas and see to it that
there was a sufficient police and
fire protection.
The school problem was ade-
quately handled by the erection
Of Burton School, which has an
enrollment of 1,100 youngsters
going through the eighth grade.
Wyoming • forms the dividing
line between those going to
high school 'in Berkley and
those to Royal Oak.._
The recreation prograni also

of the" city, the principal ac-

tivities are centered on the
school and its enormous play-
ground space.

The fire and police depart-
ment have been merged into
one, and it has worked so suc-
cessfully that many municipali-
ties in the area, including Oak
Park, have adopted the idea of
one department.
Currently under construction
is the New City Hall, which will
house all city offices, a council
chamber and a justice court.
The building will be located at
26815 Scotia, and is to be com-
pleted in the spring of 1955.
The fire and police depart-
ment will remodel the present
city hall, at 12775 W, 11 Mile for
their purposes.
Huntington Woods, long con-
sidered one of the most beauti-
ful residential areas in Oakland
County, has only six small bus-
Mess sections, all located along
the fringe areas.

The city council offices of
Berkley were taken over by the
High School students on Student
Control Day, last Wednesday.
The students managed all the
city business brought before the
council. The office of City Clerk
was under the supervision of
Ricky Schiller.
For the second time in three
years the Royal Oak parents
have rejected a 12 - month
school-plan. The plan was pro-
posed as one way to relieve
overcrowding in our schools.
Many of the parents said that
they would cooperate with the
plan, but only on a temporary
emergency basis.
Speaking of our crowded
school conditions, the Suburban
Community was especially proud
of an offer made by a number
of builders to the Oak Park
School Board. These builders of-
fered the use of new houses built
by them for temporary class-
room use. The city council will
meet soon to act on this offer.
Rabbi Frank E. Rosenthal of
the Suburban Temple is back
after a most pleasant visit at
Bowling Green State University.
Rabbi Rosenthal was the guest
i of the student body and partici-
ipated in a religious pr o g r am
; sponsored by_ the Jewish stu,-
dents of the university.

FARMER'S FRIEND

MICHIGAN'S agriculture produces approximately 10 percent
of the State's income!

And, to the Michigan farmer, motor transport is next in
importance to the land itself. Over 80,000 trucks are hard at
work on Michigan's farms—vital tools in all phases of farm
work.

Not only are trucks indispensable to the fanner in the suc-
cessful operation of his farm—trucks also form a vital link to
the outside world.

The town or shopping center where the farmer does his
buying is stocked by trucks and trailers which operate 'round
the clock to bring him and his family—swiftly and economi-
cally—an ever wider selection of the necessities and luxuries
of life.
