munity which serves as seat of the
University, county and a prominent

The foreign-born and Negro pop-
ulation is much smaller than the
average industrial community of the
Mid-West. Ann Arbor's 10.7 per cent
foreign-born is less than the state
average.
Without the large fortunes of larg-
er industrial cities, Ann Arbor is a
comparatively wealthy community.
Per capita sales, 1935, were $636 com-
pared with $287 for the entire state.
The number of individual income
tax returns was three times the state
average and twice the number for
the industrial city of Flint. The
median value of the city's homes was
$9,019 compared with a median of
$5,067 for the state. The University's
tendency to attract short-time resi-
dents explains the fact that the pro-
portion of homes owned in Ahn Arbor
is almost the same as for the state,
Ann Arbor also has a smaller pro-
portion of juvenile population under
19 than does the rest of the state
and a smaller percentage of them
are employed. Paralleling this the
family unit in Ann Arbor is small-
2.81, as compared with 3.17 for the
state.
A higher proportion of women are
employed in the city, mainly in cler-
ical and professional occupations.
There is 34 per cent of the total as
compared with 19.4 per cent for the
state at large, the survey reveals.
Citizens of Ann Arbor suffer in
varying degrees of intensity from
the same difficulties which beset the
residents of any complex modern
urban community. Unemployment,
old age need, physical and mental
handicaps all occur among the city's
residents.
DAILY OFFICIAL
BULLETIN

Merrie Christmas, of Adrian, Mich., was saved by her mother from
being just another Mary Christmas. When she was born, her father,
E., J. Chris.tmas. gave the name as Mary for the bii h records. Mrs.
Christmas objected. If she was going to be Mary, she may just as well
be Merrie, the mother insisted, and Merrie she has been ever since.

This is one smashed wing of a U.S. Army four-motored bomber
which crashed and burned in the mountains 25 miles southeast of
March Field, Calif., with the loss of six lives. In foreground is part Qf
one of the motors. The plane apparently overturned after it crashed,
because the under side of the wing is shown here.

Bishop Joseph Plagens (above)
of Marquette, Mich., has been ap-
pointed by Pope Pius XII to be
bishop of Grand Rapids, Mich. He
succeeds Bishop Joseph G. Pinten,
who resigned.

Boxnbers by the yard-Symbol of the faster temp o of U.S. production of planes and defense weapons
are these four-motored, long-range bombers, so big they're assembled in yard at San Diego plant. Along
with Sperry bombsight, planes like these were released to Britain in line with government's policy of glving
aid.

Soldiers' life for them-Thousands of men shouldered arms as the United States, bent on a bigger army,
a two-ocean navy, an adequate air force, sent draftees and volunteers to army camps that mushroomed into
being. The defense commission nained by F.D.R. in May and including such leaders as William Knudsen,
Sidney Hillman, Edward Stettinius, Jr., and Ralph Budd, helped coordinate nation's defense efforts.
