New uEnglanders Fight To Save Homes Imperiled By Flood
Voting Costs HeavyIn Election 1
--
If the salaries of clerks were the
only expenses of the city of Ann Ar-
bor for the recent primary election,
the average cost per vote could be
calculated at 13.3 cents.
There were 5,198 votes cast, and 65
clerks were employed to register and
tabulate them. The clerks salaries
came to $693.25. As election workers
are paid at the rate of 62.5 cents an
hour. the total number of clerk-
hours for the election was 1,109.2, or
an average of 17.065 hours per clerk.
Averages don't mean a great deal
in Ann Arbor vote costs, however, as
the cost varied in the different wards.
Seven clerks on duty in the fifth
ward where 198 votes were cast re-
ceived $72.83 for their services, mak-
ing an average vote cost of 36.8 cents
in that ward. At the other end of the
scale the sixth ward employed six
clerks to take care of 658 votes, pay-
ing them $58.13 for an average of 8.8
cents per vote.
With other expenses figured in, as
supplies, lighting, trucking and inci-
dentals, the actual cost per vote is
necessarily higher.

These workers are just a few of the 1500 who fought desperately at Hartford, Conn., to make the levees hold
and keep the Connecticut River from inundating their homes. The flood at Hartford came in the wake.of heavy
rains and a hurricane that claimed at least 500 lives.

Graduates Find
Jobs Are Scarce,
Employment Bureau Sees'
Recession As Cause
Employment oft graduating seniors
this year has been noticeably slower
than in the previous year, Miss Web-
ber of the Bureau of Employment and
Occupational Information said yes-
terday. Na accurate comparison can#
be made, she explained,, before the
compiling of statistics in the Bureau
early in November. 1
ivMiss Webber attributed the reduced
placement of graduates to the general
slackening of business throughout the
country. Employment through the
summer, she said, seemed almost nor-
mal, and with the usual September
improvement in business conditions
it is to be hoped that a larger number
of this year's graduates will succeed.
in finding jobs.
Michigan Boys Reach Panama
By Use Of Thumbs And Wmits
Robert Friers, Neil Ball
Claim To Have Set New
Record ForHitch-hiking
Two Michigan lads with a flare for
hitch-hiking and publicity have brok-
en into headlines in New York, De-
troit and Chicago with their tales of
hitch-hiking from Saginaw to Pana-
ma this summer.
Robert Friers, '39, and Neil Ball,;
who graduated from the journalism,
school last year, claim their trip rep-
resented the world's hitch-hiking I
record, and even so it was only the
insistence 'of the American Counsel
at Panama which prevented them
from venturing on to South America,
This trip brings Friers hitch-hiking
mileage to 85,000 miles a result of
six summers' travel, he says.
Explain Hitch-Hiking
The boys, according to Friers, have I
contributed their bit to civilization by
explaining the significance of the ,
outstretched thumb to the Central'
American natives. It seems that
hitch-hikers are an unknown species
in those parts, and Friers and Ball
used their University Spanish to ex-
plain what it was all about.
Down around Nicauragua automo-,
biles were rather scarce, but a trifle
such as this was nothing to veteran;
hikers. Several times they hitched
rides on passing donkeys and burros.
Many interesting bits of informa-
tion were gleaned by the adventurers
and one bit Ball says he will never
forget. In Monterrey, Mexico, he met
a local senorita and was all slicked
up to call on her. In the nick of
time he was warned that such a call
signified intention to marry. Wtith
visions of shot-guns and irate fathers,
Ball and Friers decided American cus-
toms were best and left Monterrey
without further ado.
Red Tape In Nicaragua
Entering Ixtepec by courtesy of a
banana train, the boys set out to see
the sights. They immediately ran in-
to .the local baseball team uproar-
iously celebrating a victory. In a let-
ter to the "Saginaw Daily News,"
Friers describes the scene as a com-
bination "grand opera and horseplay
a la Marx brothers."
At Nicaragua the boys ran into red
tape at its reddest. Passports were
demanded every time they turned
around. An old Indian demanded 50
cents to give them permission to leave
one village. The chief of the "com-
mandancia" wanted a mere $2 for
permission to leave the country. Then
the "big shot" of the local shipping
situation informed the boys that they
couldn't leave at all, since they wereI
\virtually broke, and the captain of
the ship didn't cater to their type of
passenger. The boys were finally
forced to leave uncermoniously by
jumping onto a launch as it was cast-,
ing o for its last trip. Amid excited
souting and arguments in Spanish,
English and French, the boys were
landed on the ship that was to carry
them out of Nicarauga.
Funds Diminish Rapidlyg
At Panama the two tourists found
that they had only $75 of the $200
with which they had started. The
American Counsel did not see eye to
eye with them on the subject of pre-
ceding further southward. Their
funds plus those collected from sym-
pathetic American residents served to
buy their passage on the Santa Paula
which took them safely to New York.
Friers, who has hitch-hiked in all
48 states, and every province in Cana-
da, not to mention a good part of
Central America and Mexico, is writ-
ing his experiences in a book to be
titled "The Clan of the Thumnb." He
expects it to be used as a text book
by students anxious to emulate his
achievements.
