Ml~ajor Bowes
Plans Salute
To Ann Arboar
Amateur Hour Thursday
MaytOffer Local Talent
On Nation-Wide Chain
Ann Arbor becores an important
part of a nationwide radio show
Thursday night, May 23rd, as Major
Edward Bowes salutes the city and
the University over the coast-to-
coast facilities of the Columbia Broad-
casting System from 8 to 9 p.m.
(EST). The program will be carried
by 81 stations including WJR in De-
troit, and will be aired by short wave
around the world.
Several Ann Arbor residents in-
cluding at least one student from the
University are in New York in an
effort to obtain a place on the pro-
gram. Over 600 hopeful amateurs
apply each week for the 12 coveted
spots available on the hour's show.
All candidates are auditioned and
through competitive processes are
eliminated down to a group of about
25. These finalists are heard by
Major Bowes on Thursday afternoon
when the program is made up. It is
believed certain that at least one Ann
Arborite will be heard on the show.
More than 70 Ann Arbor girls
have been employed to handle the vot-
ing here. Fifty telephone lines ar-
ranged in series to permit rapid
handling of calls will be set up in
the Parish Hall of Zion Lutheran
Church that night.
Listeners in this area may vote
for their favorites simply by dialing
Ann Arbor 2011, the specially assigned
voting number, during the program
and for the half hour immediately
following.
The voting room here will be con-
nected with Major Bowes by long
distance telephone circuit for the
duration of the program. Over this
line the Major will be given frequent
bulletins as to the progress of the
voting which he in turn will read
over the network. Also, Major
Bowes will read the names and ad-
dresses of the first and 200th callers
in Ann Arbor.
The program has an estimated
audience of 27 million listeners and
material from which Major Bowes will
compile his salute has been sent to
him by University authorities and
by the Ann Arbor Chamber of Com-
merce.

R eceives Copy
Of Old Letter
A copy of a letter written at the
battle of King's Mountain in the
Revolutionary War owned by the
William L. Clements Library, has
been sent to the National Park Ser-
vice.
King's Mountain will be made into
a National Military Park with a mu-
seum commemorating the battle.
The Park Service asked for fac-
similes of correspondence of Major
Pat Ferguson, commander of the
British forces, written during the
Southern campaign of 1780 and es-
pecially for letters written at King's
Mountain. Since Ferguson arrived
at the mountain only the night be-
fore the battle, the letter in the
library here is probably the only one
he wrote.
Maj. Ferguson's letter illustrates
the British attitude towards the
rebels, for he says in part: "Between
you and I, there has been an inun-
dation of barbarians, rather larger
than expected . . . They give t'hem-
selves out for 3800 men. In fact
they are not half that number. We
are inferior in number but as to
quality-but we must not praise our-
selves. The word is said-presto you
will hear of a scramble."
The battle ended with the defeat
and death of Ferguson, who had
underestimated the strength of, his
opponents.

Prizes of a bronze stump for first

of addresses which will be judged

Mere Is Today's News
In Summary
e re cid city budget of $516,813
for thenewx t year which was adopted
by the city council Monday night
will be vetoed by Mayor Walter B.
Sadler. le told the councilmen that
he will not approve the budget until
the general municipal §ervice charge
is reduced to what lie believes is a
reasonable sum.
Since the budget was approved by
a ten to two vote it is expected that
the mayor's veto will be overridden.
Ten favorable votes are required to
pass the budget over the mayor's
veto. The adopted budget provides
for a low tax rate unequalled since
1921.
The capital fund debt of the city is

What would you do if you saw a
"Ginkgo"?
You would probably keep right on
walking in the Union's front en-
trance despite the presence of this
pre-historic tree on the soth k side
of the lawn.
Our Ginkgo, one of the few in this
country, was once the pride of the
campus being one of the most sym-
metrical and beautiful examples of a
species which reached its climax over
100,000,000 years ago.
Ginkgo is virtually extinct in its
wild state and the few living speci-
mens that are growing in the United
States and Japan have to be carefully
cultivated.
A few years ago a hole was bored
through the main trunk of our Gink-
go in order to help string a banner
across State Street, and a strong wind
reduced it to its present sawed-off
state.

Economy Through Design
s Technicolor Feature
"Machine Design and Motion
Economy" is the title of the 1600-
foot technicolor film to be shown at
7:30 p.m. today in Room 348 of the
West Engineering Building, Prof.
Charles B. Gordy of the mechanical
engineering department announr( 'd
yesterday.
The film was secured through the
courtesy of the Saginaw Steering
Gear Division of the General Motors
Corporation, and was shown at the
annual meeting of the American So-
ciety of Mechanical Engineers held
in New York last December.
Professor Gordy reports that the
film illustrates the advantages to be
obtained from motion economy
through improved machine design.
A "before-and-after" appiroach is
used, tracing the need for motion
economy through the stages of de-
sign development to the final safe
and efficient machine or tool. Seven-
teen different illustrations will be
used to present this point.
