Central theme of the Institute will

affecting the parent. Feature of the
three-day meeting will be the morn-
ing parent education classes meeting
each day under the direction of Mrs.
H. S. Mallory, lecturer and consult-
ant in family relations.
The opening address of the Insti-
tute will be given by M. S. Mac Lean,
president of Hampton Institute,
Hampton, Va., who will discuss "The
School as a Training Ground for
Citizenship." The other highlight of
the first day will be a luncheon ad-
dress, "I Like Bad Boys," by the noted
Judge J. M. Braude of the Chicago
Boys' Court.
Practical applications of citizen-
ship work in action will be reviewed
at the last afternoon meeting of the
Institute, featuring 14 demonstra-
tions. These will include projects
undertaken at the Cass Avenue Meth-
odist Church in Detroit, the Midland
Community Center, the tool library
of the Chrysler Motor Corporation,
the Kalamazoo community dances,
4-H Clubs and the Beaverton Rural
Agricultural School.
12 Motorists Play
'Bump The Leader'
In Freak Accident
Almost every driver has experienced
toe aggravating situation where the
motorist just in front of him made
a quick, unexpected stop.
But James Peltier, '44, had this ex-
perience Sunday night with some
unusual complications. He was driv-
ing west on US-12 about 13 miles west
of Ann Arbor when the motorist
ahead surprised him with a quick
stop. He was unable !to halt the
car and bumped into this automo-
bile in front of him.
After that one car after another
up to a total of eight * skidded and
collided in order to miss the cars
already blocking the highway. After
a brief period, four more cars smashed
into the others, making 12 alto-
gether.
These 12 tied up traffic on the
highway for nearly three hours. Sher-
iff's officers blamed poor visibility
and a slippery pavement resulting
from a heavy rain for. the collision
in which several Jackson and Detroit
people wer'e injured, none seriously.
Three persons were killed in an-
other accident which occurred near
Ypsilanti on US-112 early Sunday
morning.
Registration Continues
Union registration will continue
from 2:15 p.m. to 5 p.m. every day
through Friday and in addition from
7 p.m. to 8 p.m. tomorrow and Thurs-
day,
