Totally blind, Mrs. Beulah Rich- ards of Ypsilanti lives today because her son Cecil, six years old, had a cold Wednesday and had to stay home from school. Cecil and his mother were listening to the radio when he suddenly dis- covered that their house was afire. With flames sweeping along the wall close to the only available exit, Cecil took his mother by the hand and led her to safety. The house was completely demol- ished. Nothing was saved but the clothing worn by mother and son as they made their escape. Ann Arbor Rotarians were in- formed at their last meeting by Prof. Nathan Sinai of the School of Public Health that, while wo- men are a good life insurance. risk, they are a bad health insur- ance risk. Whe female sickness rate is 16 per cent higher than the male, but women live longer than men on the average, Professor Sinai told the group. Professor Sinai was speaking on the health insurance plan. It is because of the difference in sickness rate, he said, that in- surance companies are wary of handling health insurance for groups with a high percentage of women members. * * * Students entering the Detroit-Hur- on-Clinton Parkway essay contest will be assisted by booklets offering a factual background to the project which were distributed in Washtenaw County schools yesterday.

Restoration Of NYA Jobs Provided In Needed Badly, She Cuts, Act, Says Centering her talk, "Jobs. NYA and! the American Youth Act," about the immediate need for jobs of 4,500,000 youths, out of school, out of work, Frances Williams, national adminis- trative secretary of the American youth Congress, told an audience of students and faculty members Wed- nesday that the American Youth Act was the solution to one of the most vital and urgent problems on the American scene today. Aiss Williams, who is on a national tour, described the chaotic conaition of the German youth following the war, "who despairing of not being included in things, literally jumped into the arms of Hitler, who gave them a feeling of belonging." There is danger, she warned of Aierican youth "jumping" for the first d-ma- gogue who offers jobs. Murry Fathered Bill The proposed Act, introduced in' the Senate by Sen. James E. Mur- ray with a working capital of $500,- 000,000 would provide not only added vocational guidance and training, and employment opportunities for youths between the ages of 16 and 25, but it would provide increased educational opportunities for high school, college and post-graduate students and give them a dignified place in society, Miss Williams pointed out. The AYA is different from the pres- ent NYA in duration, policies and ap- propriations, she stated. While the present NYA is on a temporary year- to-year basis, subject to scrapping by any administration, the AYA would establish a permanent admin- istration, Miss Williams explained. NYA policies are determined by a single administrator, she continued, Organis's Goo] Friday but the AYA would set up a national board, democratically controlled with C er IS'tradition representatives of youth, labor, educa- tional, civic, business and social serv- Prof. Palmer Christian.

I - B E E CHAMPAGNE The BEER VAULT 303 North 5th Avenve Dial 8200 For Delivery,- 9 A.M. to Midnite W N IE American democracy is seriously handicapped by the use of "bedsheet ballots," made necessary by a multi- plicity of candidates, Prof. James K. Pollock, of the political science de- partment, asserted in a report made public recently. Professor Pollock said "bedsheet ballots" have caused thousands of voters to ignore candidates for minor offices and thus have enabled poor and unqualified men to filter into political jobs by default. "The shortening of the ballot, which means the simplification of the voter's task, seems to be an in- dispensable and urgent reform to restore the control of the govern- ment to the people," he said. Professor Pollock also reported that: In Detroit four years ago 160,000 voters did not vote for candidates to the State Legislature, although they did vote for higher offices. During the same selection Michi- gan voters cast 156,000 fewer votes for Congressman than for Governor. Illinois cast 300,000 fewer votes in 1932 for the office of Supreme Court clerk than for the presidential candidate. "Fatigue curves" among voters- with the fatigue increasing propor- tionately to the size of the ballot- were displayed by Professor Pollock. "In Michigan two out of every sev- en who vote for governor in the pri- maries will manage to last out the difficult ordeal of marking their bal- lots and registering their votes for the last office on the ticket," he said. "Or, to put it another way, four out of every five persons who vote for U. S. Senator in a primary do not vote for the offices lower down on the ballot. "Over the whole period of the direct primary in Michigan, approx- imately twice as many votes have been cast for the office of Governor as for the office of Sheriff. These and similar facts could be adduced to show the dismal result of asking the voter to assume a burden greater than he can bear." Water Safety Course Planned Red Cross Is Sponsoring Instructor's Visit Leidy, John Dawson and Russell Smith, Pickering explained. The case being argued, which is open to the public, involves a ques- tion of labor law in which an employ- er protests the picketing of his res- taurant by members of a minority union, when the certified majority union is in agreement with the em- ployer. Yesterday, a team composed of John Cummiskey and Paul Roesch argued in this case against Robert Kneeland and Eugene Calder. The case today will be argued by Philip Buchen and Kenneth Lau, and ;They will be opposed by Charles Johnson and Alan Johnston. Decisions of the judges as to which five are the best will not be affected by the legal stand any of them may take in the case. Of the five, the best four will argue in the coming Case Club finals on April 19, Foun- der's Day. All five will be senior advisers for the Case Club next year. Pre-Med Club Takes Petitions Nominees Must Procure Names Of Ten Members Announcement was made at the last meeting of the Pre-Medical Soci- ety of the University that petitions for club offices will be received any time until Tuesday. Petitions must be signed by at least 10 members and may be given to David Newburg, '40, or Thomas Aye, '40. Seniors and juniors may run for president and publicity agent; anyone may run for the other offices. Committee chairmen have been ap- pointed to correct and improve the constitution of the club which seeks its membership from among those undergraduates who intend to study medicine. The next meeting of the club will be held Wednesday, 8.:15 p.m., in the East Amphitheatre of the West 1Medical Building. f .® TvN IG HT".. the curtoin rises on thq enttie('e~p/le Il by IRWIN SHAW Ihis play is a fairy tale with a moral.

Li t MICHIGAN NOW SHOWING! Course Studies Social Relation Of Engineering Fundamental concepts affectingt the relation of the individual and engineer to the community and the relation of engineering to business form the general basis of study in an unique course conducted by Prof. John S. Worley of the transportation engineering department. Listed in the official bulletin of announcements for the engineering college as "Contracts, Specifications and Engineering Relations," the course supplements the study of pro- fessional relationships with a general and informal analysis of the more elementary and fundamental con-l cepts and ideals touching the con- duct of the individual in society. The prime objective behind the first six weeks of the course, accord- ing to Professor Worley, is to arrange, and define the fundamental concepts which we use daily, and further toj clear distorted views and ideals in the minds of students. Attacked and analyzed are such pertinent terms and expressions ast "education," "character," and "per- sonality," with special emphasis ont the meaning of these terms and the importance of their influence on the individual. Upon these concepts and princi- ples of conduct analyzed in the first part of the course are based the un- derlying reasons for professional codes and ethics. It is pointed out that all professionad codes are fun- damentally based upon the previous unfortunate experiences of members of that profession with society.
