Huntington Woods Election
Is Birthday Gift for Wife
By the Oak-Woodser
A decision reached by Samuel
L. Travis a few weeks ago re-
sulted in an unusual birthday
present Monday for his wife,
Berneice.
Travis, one of four candidates
for City Commissioner of Hunt-
ington Woods in Monday's elec-
tion, came out on top, leading
incumbent William A. Hanna,
who won the second seat, by
almost 50 votes.
It was Travis' second nibble
at city "politicking," having
entered the race for the same
position some 15 months ago
when there was a one-year
vacancy.
While he didn't quite make
it then, Travis, the list
of "also-rans," and in this
week's balloting he defeated

previously.
Travis polled 510 votes, Han-
na received 462, while ousted
incumbent Bryant registered
383 votes. A fourth candidate,
Walter B. Berry, polled 350
votes. •
Because it was his • wife's
birthday, Travis, a prominent
Detroit attorney, has already
signed over his first year's
wages as a Commissioner—$60
—to her.
By virtue of his triumph,
Travis becomes the first Jew to
hold elective office in Hunting-
ton Woods. A practicing attor-
ney for 20 years, with four
years time out during World
War II, Travis has been an
active leader in Huntington
Woods civic groups for many
years.
A native Detroiter, Travis
graduated from the University
of Michigan literary college in
1934 and from the U. of M. law
school in 1937. Following grad-
uation he taught economics at
the university for a year, and
then entered private practice
in Detroit.
He entered the U. S. Army in
1942 as a private and was dis-
charged as a captain at the
end of the war in 1945. He now
is a principal in the law firm
of Travis, Warren and Nayer,
with offices at 1056 Penobscot
Building.
Only a few weeks ago, he was
one Of three. attorneys invited
to speak at a two-day, state-wide
conference of lawyers in Ann
Arbor on condemnation pro-
ceedings, a field in which he is
a recognized expert.
The Travis family, who reside
at 26039 York, have been Hunt-
ington Woods residents for 10
years, during which they have
become active and prominent
in a number of civic activities.
A charter member of Tem-
ple Emanu-El, Travis was a
member of the congregation's
first board of trustees and is
currently a member of the
board and chairman of the
legal committee.
He also is a member of the
board of directors of the Hunt-
ington Woods Residents Associ-
ation, and, for some years, has
been chairman of the Associa-
tion's legal committee.
Other efforts that have kept
him busy are his chairmanship
of the Washington School PTA
and his post as treasurer of
Cub Pack 21. The Travises have
two sons, Samuel, Jr., 14, a stu-
dent at Dondero High School,
and Michael Paul, 10, who
attends Washington Elementary
School.
Travis will join the Mayor of
Huntington Woods and the
three other Commissioners
when he is officially sworn into
office at ceremonies next week.
