THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE Despite Lack Of Stude Life Went On In Ann, ant s , Arbor M onths Throug hvacation --- - Highlights Of Summer Included 'Time Bomb' Scare, Crazy Weather Heart Ailment Fatal To Chief Of Police By EUGENE MANDEBERG Despite the fact that the vast ma- jority of University students left Ann Arbor for the summer, the town went right on existing, and many events of local interest took place during the summer vacation. Generally, the city maintained its enviable reputation for peace and quiet, and crimes of every descrip- tion were scarce and minor. Most complaints of that nature were for petty larceny and similar misde- meanors. The sheriff's office, however, re- ported a large number of automo- bile accidents in the county, most of them occtrring on country roads. Although only a small number of fatalities were reported, the num- ber 'of injured persons was high for the two months period. Fatalities From Drownings Most of the other fatalities in the county during the summer were drownings, many of which happened during the July 4 weekend.. The latter part of June was high-, lighted gy the County Board of Sup- ervisors' vote to establish a health, unit for.the county to continue until Oct. 1 of this year. At that time, when the new fiscal year begins, the health unit wil be examined as to its expediency and the decision will be made as to whether to continue it or let the matter drop. Highly satisfactory to city officials was the subscription to the Unit- ed Service Organizations' cam- paign which netted $7,000. Since the city's quota. was $5,500, the remain- ing funds were applied towards - the city's relief organizations. '100 Years-And Beards' July opened with the Dexter Cen- tennial celebtation, a three day af- fair over the July 4 weekend. - The town's citizensedressed in the fva- shions :of a century ago and every male grew a beard for the festivities. High point of the celebration was the arrival of a replica of the first train ever to enter Dexter just 100 years ago, July 4, 1841. The train, borrowed from Greenfield Village, chugged into the station bn the back of a flatcar. Less cheerful news was also an- nounced early in July with the death of Police Chief Norman E. Cook, 42, from a heart ailment. Chief Cook had been the head of the Ann Arbor force for two years and was a mem- ber of the department since 1923. Sherman H. Mortenson was ap- oointed the new chief of police. He had been second in command under Cook, and claimed the distinction of being the first officer to operate a scout car in the city. July also found city relief rolls at i record low. Officials attributed the sharp decline to added old age assistance, better -hospitalization fa- cilities, and national defense em- ployment.. Middle July recorded the only death among the summer session stu- dents, when Felipe 0. Larrazabel, 27, of Caracos, Venezuela died of in- juries suffered in an automobile ac- cident. For Fire College-A Fire Oddest coincidence of the summer convention seasoni was the fire at a downtown restaurant while the an- nual Fire College was in session here. Members of the convention turned' out en masse to watch the local fire department do its work. Another city record was shattered that month when 120 aliens in the county sought naturalization papers. It was the largest number to seek citizenship in one month in the his- tory of the county. The Ann Arbor police force proved its worth by winning five medals in the annual pistol shooting meet here, thus maintaining its fine record for marksmanship which it has held for several years. Time Bomb Scare Biggest scare of the summer was the discovery of what was thought to be a time bomb near an industrial plant in the city. The "bomb" was rushed to Lansing for an ex-ray ex- amination, but it turned out to be merely a cardboard cylinder with cement in the center and a fuse at one end. Answering the national call for aluminum, Ann Arbor citizens gave with a will and filled the bin in front'of the county courthouse to overflowing.

Four teams are planned for the coming year's activity, which .will include matches with other ROTC teams in the Big' Ten as well as with non-conference squads. - The team will also enter the Hearst Tro- phy matches in the spring. +Ohlinger, 12, of Ypsilanti .won the local Soap Box Derby, but the lad was eliminated in the Akron finals when his car was damaged in the first heat. Defense Stamps Sold Defense saving stamps proved very salable in town when 5,008 were sold in a drive to aid national defense. To the discomfort of hay fever sufferers, a bumper crop of ragkeed was reported in and around Ann Arbor, but the sneezes failed to ma- terialize, because the pollen count remained mysteriously low. Finally, the weather. It lived up to its usual reputation, coming boil- ing hot for most of July, but sud- denly reversing itself in the latter part of August to a series of chilly winds that caught the population completely by surprise. This sum- mer, as always, the climate was as changeable as a chameleon.
