State Receives
Highway Loan
U.S. Grants Funds for
Willow Run Roadway
LANSING, May 4.- A"P)- The
State Highway Department has re-
ceived federal funds totaling $7,057,-
000 for further construction work on
the Detroit Industrial Expressway
between the Willow Run area and
metropolitan Detroit, Highway Com-
missioner Charles M. Ziegler an-
nounced today.
Ziegler said $6,000,000 of the grant
would be applied to section three of
the expressway, extending between
Southfield Road and Wyoming Ave-
nue at the west city limits of Detroit.
Total cost of the section, he said, is
estimated at $12,568,000, to be fi-
nanced on a 75-25 basis by federal
and state governments.
The remaining $1,057,000 of the
grant will be applied to section two

LAST OF SEASON:~
Play Produci
'The Wishfl §i
Campus talent will come into theI
limelight with the presentation of
"The Wishful Taw," by Elizabeth
Wilson, Grad., by the Play Produc-
tion of the speech department, May
12-15 in the Lydia Mendelssohn The-
atre.
The play is a type of music-drama
which is centered around the cus-
toms and life of the people in the
Ozark Mountain region. Miss Wil-
son has gotten her material from
first-hand experience. The writer's
home is in Springfield, Mo., and she
has spent her summers in a cabin
some 17 miles from the resort district
in the Ozarks, during which time she
gathered material which she uses in
"The Wishful Taw," and which is
also the basis for nine one-act plays
which she is now writing.
Miss Wilson uses a well-knownI
story of the region and sets it in the
rich native background. As she said,
"The play is woven around an old

on To Present
Uar' May 12-15
campfire story, the type of tale that
you would spin around an open fire
at night in that friendly country."
The name of the music play is de-
rived from an old Ozark tradition.
One of the most popular forms of
recreation is the "play party," a com-
munity party with dancing for all.
The best -known "fiddlers" are
brought from far and near to provide
the music for the occasion and the
music is supplemented by guitars,
melodians and other noise makers.
The one who "calls" the dances adds
to the general confusion. The "taw"
is a girl at the dance and a "wishful"
one is a "taw" who would like to be-
come a particular person's partner.
"The Wishful Taw" was written
in Prof. K. T. Rowe's class in play-
writing.
Tickets for the play will go on sale
at the Lydia Mendelssohn box office
May 10, and mail orders may be re-
ceived now.

3. Farmers-a special rule applies.
If the gross income of an individual
from farming for the taxable year is
at least 80 per cent of his total esti-
mated gross income from all sources,
such an individual may file a declar-
ation of the estimated tax at any
time on or before Dec. 15 or the tax-
able year if the taxpayer is on a
calendar year basis.
4. The final return will be filed by
all taxpayers as at present on or be-
fore the March 15 following the close
of the taxable year. On this return,
adjustments will be made for differ-
ences between the estimated or with-
held tax, and the correct tax reported
by the taxpayer.
Since most4taxpayers already Dave
filed their 1942 returns on March 15,
their payments on March 15 and
June 15, 1943 will be treated as pay-
ments on their 1943 liability, instead
of on 1942 income. Taxpayers on a
calendar year basis who are required
to file declarations of their estimated
tax will file their first declaration
for 1943 on Sept. 15, and their pay-
ments made in March and June will
be treated as payments on their esti-
mated 1943 tax.

"Thomas De Quincey's Theory of
Literature," Sigmund K. Proctor's
doctor's dissertation, was considered
J by members of the Department of
I English interviewed recently, to be
"such a good, scholarly thesis that
we thought it ought to be published."
Proctor's thesis, presented in 1937,
- is the latest volume in the series of
Michigan Studies and was published
last month by members of the Eng-
lish department as a valuable contri-
bution to scholarship in the field of
English :omanticism.
The author, a graduate of the Uni-
versity, was an instructor of English
here for 12 years and also taught at
the University of Illinois the year
before his death in 1937. He was
co-editor of a volume for freshman
English, "Prose Patterns," published
in 1933.
The book was prepared for publi-
cation by Professors C. D. Thorpe
and Paul Mueschke of the Depart-
ment of English, and carries a brief
foreword by Prof. Louis I. Bredvold,
chairman of the department.
