PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 1935 _ _ m County Should Be Made Health Unit, Says Sinai Township Organization Still In Nuisance Era,' He States In Radio Talk SpeaksOver WJR Claims That Best Returns To Taxpayers Will Be Had By Unifying System A recommendation that the county be made the basic unit of public health was made Sunday by Dr. Nath- an Sinai of the department of hy- giene and public health in his radio talk over station WJR in the parent program broadcast direct from the campus studios in Morris Hall. "As far as township health organi- zation is concerned," Dr. Sinai said, "Michigan is still in the 'nuisance era' of public health. The township may have had some merit as an ad- ministrative public health unit in 1846. It has none today." In cities, he pointed out, budget cuts have reduced the health depart- ments to skeleton organizations. Recommending the county as a public health administrator, Dr. Sin- ai said, "Certain counties of the State have junked the township and village system and have developed unified health departments. All of these efforts are in the interest of sound administration, giving adequate re- turns for the taxpayer's dollar." Other recommendations made by Dr. Sinai were: That the town and village be abol- ished as units of public health admin- istration;t That the present plan of permitting1 two or more counties to form districtf health departments with the approval of te state health commission be continued; and That counties be assisted in the fi- nancing of health departments by State funds. "These recomgendations," Dr.. Sin- ai asserted, "mean that Michigan should look forward to a plan of re- organization which, in its culmina- tion, will make possible a wider ap- plication of public health practice, a r duction in -the number of official health departments and an improve- ment in the personnel engaged in public health work." Prof. Arthur B. Moehlman of the School of Education, who talked on "Your Schools" during the same pro- gram, pointed out the fields in which parents should make themselves ac- quainted with schools. "How effectively is the school car- ing for the children?" was the first question Professor Moehlman asked his parent listeners. The type of in- struction and the course of study in the schools, he said, should require at- tention. Building facilities, proper lighting, and adequate playgrounds were also emphasized by Professor Moehlman as requiring the attention of parents.

House Vote On Bonus Payment Planned'Today Definite Affirmative Vote Is Expected; Method Of Paying Is Debated WASHINGTON, March 18-(R)-- The question whether the $2,000,000,- 000 soldiers' bonus should be paid im- mediately is to be brought before the House tomorrow. It is generally agreed that the House, bysa hugema- jority, will say "aye." Strong difIerences remained today as to the method of paying. The rules committee was called into meet- ing to ratify the procedure under which the house would be allowed to choose between the Patman bill, which provides for new currency, and the Vinson-American Legion bill which leaves the method of raising the money to the government. In the procedure was involved a double chance for votes on the Tydings- Cochran "compromise" bill, which would give the ex-soldiers negotiable bonds instead of cash for their cer- tificates. As the program shaped up, it was this: Tomorrow, the Vinson-American Legion bill will be called up on the floor. It, and other bonus proposals, will be debated for 10 hours - per- haps three days. Then it will be in order for all bonus bills to be offered as substitutes for the Vinson plan. Among these are the Patman and the Tydings-Cochran measures, as well as other proposals to limit payment to the needy and to pay in installments. If the Patman bill is rejected on the first vote, supporters of that measure subsequently will be allowed to move to send the whole thing back to the ways and means committee with instructions to approve the Pat- man bill and report it back imme- diately. If the Patman bill is ac- cepted, a similar motion will be al- lowed on the Vinson bill. Scholar (By Associated Collegiate Press) NEW YORK, N. Y., March 18. - The college students of the United States have adopted a scholarly atti- }ude to replace the "rah-rah" spirit of he '20's, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching says in its annual report. "The student on the campus is no longer the blase, sophisticated stu- dent of the '20's." Walter A. Jessup, president of the foundation and for- mer president of the University of Iowa, writes. "He is a hard-working, serious-minded person who demands more of the college library, the lab- oratory and the instructor than did his brother of a decade ago." "Survival" will be the keynote of the activities of the 800-odd colleges and universities, for the Foundatiori predicts an acute struggle for exist- ence for many of these institutions. "Survival will be conditioned," the report said, "by intelligent leadership, high morale and the courage to be sincere with the students by selecting and educating them only in the field of institutional competency, and in that field doing a genuine and sig- nificant job. "An honest inventory of resources in view of the obligation to students might well suggest to some institu- tions the wisdom of narrowing their field. Some institutions, bearing the name of college, have so little to offer, that they should disband."; The multiplication of institutions was attributed by Pres. Jessup to the "ambitions of a boom period." In, predicting the disappearance of many colleges he said the survivors would not necessarily be the ones with the' most money, nor the failures those with the least money. TINKER CONFERS HERE E. W. Tinker,,regional forester in the United States Forest Service, was 7 here Sunday to confer with Dean S.J T. Dana and Prof. W. F. Ramsdell of' the School of Forestry and Conserva- tion on current forestry problems. In-, creasing the amount of Federal for- ests in Michigan, increasing the Make Way For The Tis Said Is Maintained By U. S. Men Airplanes, Radio Trucks Employed In Offensive Against Criminals WASHINGTON, March 18 --(P)- The government today sought gang- land dens, hunted for moonshiners' hidden nests and swept the seas for smugglers in its announced intention of putting the "fear of the revenue officer" into the hearts of criminals. Using fast radio trucks and air- planes, treasury agents, aided by state and local police, captured yesterday a mountaineer wanted for the wound- ing of a Federal officer and the kill- ing of an Alexandria, Virginia, police- man. The mountaineer - bearded Thom- as Quisenberry, possessor of a deadly aim with a powerful rifle - was found asleep in a ditch near Leesburg, Vir- ginia, after a long search through the tree-studded slopes of Catoctin mountains. Earlier, agents said, he had exchanged more than 50 shots with pursuing officers, one of which killed Clarence J. McClary, of the Alexandria police force. Word of Quisenberry's capture was flashed to Washington by a radio truck which had been used in the search. Only a short time before Sec- retary Morgenthau had received a report that 2,389 had been arrested since the nationwide anti-crime drive started Friday. The 2,389 arrested included alleged bootleggers, dope peddlers and smug- glers. The alcohol tax unit, secret service, coast guard, narcotics squad and even the intelligence division of the bureau of internal revenue con- tinued to participate. The coast guard boarded 1,660 vessels in two days and assessed fines of $12,150. number of CCC camps, and future plans for the forest service were dis- cussed. 'Rah-Rah' Student s Crime Drive ° THE SCR EEN AT THE MICHIGAN "THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL" A London Production co-starring Leslie Howard and Merle Oberon, and featuring a well-selected English cast of supporting players. Also a Pete Smith novelty studded with wisecracks and delightful moments -"Donkey Baseball"; the best Barton organ pro- gram Paul Tompkins has presented in many moons (it includes the bestaand most favored of the Irish songs as a commemoration of St. Patrick); and a news reel, Of late the dearth of new and truly beautiful leading ladies has become the bane of confirmed cinemagoers. A brief and enticing respite is af- forded, though, in the Michigan The- ater's current attraction, the British-' produced and British-cast "Scarlet Pimpernel." The rapturous youngI leading lady is completely a new- comer - Merle Oberon. All that can be said, and more eloquent it is, in- 1 deed, than a million words, is that you must see her! With Miss OberonR alone, it must be conceded in all dis- passionacy, "The Scarlet Pimpernel" would be a success. But add to its lovely young star the ever-pleasingl Leslie Howard, of "Berkeley Square"I and "British Agent" fame, and throw in an absorbing plot dealing with the plots and counter-plots of the French Revolution, and you have what would once have been rated in this column a four-star picture (****) with no ifs, ands, or buts. "The Scarlet Pimpernel" combines the best elements of love, adventure, romance, story-weaving, and expert direction. That its genesis is almost entirely English is an interesting commentary on the American method of peddling motion picture produce for its avid, albeit discouraged, Amer- ican market. For those who do not remember (or who have not read) the absorbing tale of Baroness Orezy, suffice it to say that the Pimpernel is a highly-com- petent English nobleman, who, posing for benefit of disguise as a conceited young fop, occupies himself with the thrilling task of snatching members of the French nobility from the bloody knife of the guillotine and transport- ing them to the safety of "perfidious Albion." That his wife and the French snooper-extraordinary, Chauvelin, are both ignorant of his deeds adds mo- mentum to the unfolding of the tale. And a rare one it is! But if only for Miss Oberon herself, you shouldn't miss treating yourself to the adven- tures of "The Scarlet Pimpernel." --G. M.

For his settings in "The Old Maid," starring Judith Anderson and Helen Menken, he received notices from the New York critics equalling in enthusiasm those accorded the stars. He has designed six productions in New York this season, including "The Old Maid," the recent production of Bourdet's "Times Have Changed" with Robert Loraine, and "The Bride of Torotzkc" for Gilbert Miller. Other settings have been designed by Mr. Chaney for "Kill That Story," "Dream Child" and "On To Fortune." Three years ago Stewart Chancy was saenic designer for the Dramatic Season in Ann Arbor. "The festival gave Mr. Chaney his first position in the professional theater," RobertI Henderson pointed out, "and his work was as brilliant then as it is today. But he was not famous then. Today New York has discovered him and he is the new 'find' of the season. He returns to the festival as one of the foremost designers in the American theater." You find me the welcome third. Iam always the same, always mild, mellow, fine- flavored, friendly to your throat. I am made of center leaves, only. Those small, sticky top leaves are sharp and. bitter. Sand and grit destroy the flavor of the bottom leaves. But the choice center leaves grow to mellow ripeness, preserving every bit of fragrant tobacco flavor. I am made from these fragrant, expensive center leaves. I do not irritate your throat. This gives me the right to sign myself "Your best friend." 9WMOWL Copyright 1935, The American Tobacco Company.
