The meeting was called for the benefit of those fami- lies which live in the outlying dis- tricts, of which there are three, on Miller Ave., on the Dexter road, and in the small community of Platte. The people of these districts are alloted no aid from any source whatever. No official Ann Arbor organization can reach them. A group of students from the Soci- ology Department investigated con- ditions of the unemployed families in these districts, and found them far worse than had been believed.' It was to deal with such a' situa- tion that the students of the Soci- ology Department, with the support of the churches of the town, called the Union meeting. At that meet- ing there were present a number of experts on the unemployment prob- lem. A most profitable discussion sprang up, with ther result that a five point program in which fra- ternities and sororities might par- ticipate was evolved. The five points are: 1) The collection of food and clothing by various houses. 2) A canvass of the houses and of the people of the town for jobs to be filled by registered unem- ployed mechanics and craftsmen. 3) A Tag Day. 4) Group social work, the or- ganization of Boy Scouts, Hi-Y Clubs, etc.I 5) Personal social service. SPRING IS HERE ! I have already said that, but this statement supersedes all previous statements on the subject. Spring is here, and that's that, or at least that is the general impression. Per- haps it would sound better if I were to say "that seems to be that." jUSCAND DRM PROGRAM OF ONE-ACT PLAYS Play Production continues its series of strictly laboratory produc- tions with a presentation tonight of three one-act plays, directed and mounted by the students.

NICHOL CHICAGO'S CHANCE FOR RETRENCHMENT Now that Mayor Thompson has, been discarded as the big boss of Chicago, and Mr. Cermak has suc-' ceeded ' him in an overwhelming success, the voters of the Windy City will have an opportunity to discover whether or not the poli- tical structure of their municipal government is such that it is im- possible to have order, or whether the present incumbent was to blame. During the election campaigns,c all kinds of promises were made. These are only customary in the midst of other political fan-fare. Cermak promised to rid the city of the Thompson machine which had, 1 While I agree with W. D. H. as to the complete separation of the functions of the student-body and the City, and feel that the City should rely on itself to remedy its own troubles, I do feel that in this instance the students might con- tribute towards a worthy cause. The much maligned B & G Boys, who earn at the munificent rate of forty cents an hour, appreciative of the plight of the ,unemployed, were able to raise from among them- selves the sum of about a thousand dollars. I feel that with their example in mind it was not too much to ask that the.students of the University devote an hour of their time, of which two-thirds is ordinarily completely wasted, in determining what might be done about keeping a number of men, women, and children from what wouldabe termed by some starva- tion, and that rather than 'seeing the full quota of movies this week they might contribute fifty cents] or so toward buying the hungry a full meal. R. T. Crane, Jr., '31. One who is in any way informed on the facts in the matter, would have great difficulty in restraining himself from an effort, toward cor- recting the misapprehensions cre- Iated by the literary efforts of F. M., '33, in Tuesday morning's Daily. It should be noted at the outset that the writer, so interested in the im- provement of university scholar- ship, has spoken with very little knowledge of Michigan athletic con- ditions. In the beginning it, should be' stated that only one member, not three, of the Varsity swimming team participated in the A. A. U. meet. The other Michigan swim- mers were members of the present f ceshman squad, which is not al- lowed to participate in intercollegi- ftinnnfzcnr f i)r h n d of late. I am sorry but this is con trary to Daily Policy and we simpl cannot do it. We modern poets fin Daily Policy very trying at times. GOODIE! DEPT. The Grid Banquet is over. Th Grid Banquet is over. The Gri( Banquet is over. And we are goin home. I didn't really mean that about going home, because this sil- ly column isn't half filled yet, bu everybody else is going home and swearing that they will never at- tend another. It's a good thing thai new people are coming in every year into this grand old school o ours. This fixes things so that eve- ry year the Grid Banquet can suck in a new quota of freshmen and pay off all of their debts - that is nearly all. * * * Good old Uncle Josie the Burzel-Wurzel was presented with the oil-can and made a wise-crack about oil on troubled fire-water or something equally foul. It made me think that perhaps the boys did justice this time. Senator Howell or Howl or some- thing got up and made the state- ment that the Mill-Tax cut wasn't going thru. That just goes to show that all those letters you wrote did some good after all. Maybe now you are recompensed for not seeing Uhe Junior Girls' play. :1 * * * * 0 And they still haven't got the steam-shovel safely out of the. Law Club basement. I person- ally advocate taking it apart and throwing it out piece by piece. They have been digging a great big ditch for it to run out of for two days now, and it isn't any closer to the surface than it was before and they have wasted an awful lot of good dirt and steam in the pro- cess.

DESCRIPTIVE MUSIC GLAZOUNOV: The Seasons: play- ed by Alexandre Glazounov and Symphony Orchestra: Columbia Modern Music Album Set No. 5. g t' One of the interesting.phases of - much of the minor romantic music t of the nineteenth century was the j constant experiment with Music's - powers of realistic suggestion. As a t result of a good deal of this experi- T ment, an art, which really ought to f have nothing to do with descrip- tion, has drawn to itself such a fund of ideas of association that it now has a considerable capacity for description. Alexandre Glazounov's score for a ballet "The Seasons" might be considered the epitome of this ten- dency. This score, splitting itself into four sections, is a glittering succession of illustrative pieces, done with poetic delicacy and a considerable talent for orchestra- tion suggestive of Rimsky-Korsa- koff's. The music is amazingly tri- vial when compared say with what the early Stravinsky did in the ballet; but is is consistently plea- sant and is given an ideal presen- tation under Glazounov's own di- rection. 'DETROIT THEATRE DURING VACATION Those who will be confined to Detroit for the vacation may look forward with eagerness or disap- pointment to the following drama- tic fare: Wilson: "Subway Express," one of last season's very novel melo- dramas. This play enjoyed a nice run in New York because it was a Good murder melodrama,unclutter-, ed by the conventional slamming doors, etc, worked out with neat- ness and speed in the very unique setting of a moving subway train. Cass: Again Detroit is being offered a revival of "Blossom Time" the romantic musical comedy based on the life of Franz Schubert which stimulated Sigmund Romberg to some of his finest melodic writing. Lafayette: "Bad Girl," Vina Del- mar's quite absurd novel in drama- tization sufficiently attractive on some account or other to be spend- ing its fifth week before eager De- troit fans. The cast includes Wal- lace Ford and Marjorie Peterson who play very rollickingly. Detroit Civic: "Crime," the melo- drama written by Samuel Ship- man and John B. Hymer, and pro- duced successfully by A. H. Woods some years back, is being revived. It purports to be a romantic, thrill- ing story of a daylight robbery of a New York jewelry store with an ultimate sacrifice by a gentleman bandit in the interest of two young lovers whom he envies, etc. And that is all. MURIEL DRAPER Ann Arbor should be particularly interested in the announcement of the publication in two of three weeks of a new book by Muriel Dra- per. Mrs. Draper, as her amazing book "Music at Midnight" charm- ingly revealed, is the contemporary world's best hostess, the only Eng- lish-speaking representative of an art which in certain French women was genius. In a short visit to Ann Arbor last fall she conquered the town. Everyone scampered to see the woman who in London before the war used to go to the dressing- rooms of musicians after their con- certs, take them by the arm, lead them to her home, and introduce them to other musicians. The re- sult was Music-whole nights rich Since the beginning of time, cooking has been a family affair-each family for itself; a potful at a time. But the past decade has seen a great change. The old family cooking pot has gone the way of the old oaken bucket. And in its place is a new American phenom- enon: the twe/ve-bi/lion-dorlar pot. In this pot, 55,000 factories are stewing and brewing and preparing most of your food ... and yours ... and yours-an annual produc- tion of almost twelve billions of dollars. These 55,000 plants represent America's food industry. They are scattered throughout the nation. They make everything from canned foods to beverages, from ice cream to packed meats. But in every one of them, a staff of Business men, industrialists and en technical experts read the McGraw-Hill Publications i s fa ci n g the Hill books and magazines in theirh same problems The Business Week system of production, Aviation is working for a Factory and Industrial Management common cause: Industrial Engineering the delectation of the public palate, the nourishment of the nation.
