I PAGE EIGHT THE MICHIGAN DAILY Writing Play Writing Very Difficult, Brumm Admits His Play Will Be Give Before Annual Meeting Of Press Club According to Prof. John L. Brumm' writing a play suitable for presenta- tion to the University Press Club of Michigan is no easy job., And Profes- sor Brumm, more than any other man, should know the difficulties present in the writing of a play ap- propriate for the convention's meet- ing this week-end, as "Editors Are Also People" is the fourth he has written for Press Club meetings. It will be presented Friday night. "Thus far," he reviewed the history of the situation, "the plays have dealt with the foibles and eccentricities of journalists and professors." The first of the group, "Scrambled Ego," dealt with soul-complexers and impulse followers in control of a campus. "The Mayor's Husband," which followed, took up the situation of the highly- cultivated society woman in politics., "'Why Print That," given last year, was a discussion of what might hap- pen if a newspaper decided to print nothing but honest advertising. Fourth Playing The fourth and latest play, to be produced by Comedy Club, again takes journalism for its field. It concerns a weekly newspaper in a resort com- munity of 10,000, which is taken over: by the community to be operated as a civic enterprise.- In the ensuing action 21 different1 characters come in contact with each other in the management of the paper. Among them are such per- sonalities as school teachers, printers, Communist laborites, capitalists, ac- tresses, parsons, and members of the D.A.R.

Allen of the School of Forestry anti Conservation, who served as an emergency conservation work inspector in the Pacific Coast National Parks last summer, said in speaking before tne Forestry Club, that success in protecting forests in the parks from fire, insects, and dis- ease determines their attractiveness. Professor Allen went on to state that foresters are making real contri- butions to park management as nat- uralists who can interpret forests sympathetically to visitors and as planners and executives in fire and control work. Professor Allen listed as the attri- butes foresters need develop for park work, patience, courtesy, and show- manship. "The parks," he said, "are a real place for men with the right flair and viewpoint," of discussions that will deal with the problems confronting the delegates.
