SOLDIER ART:
Prof. Gores Praises Drawing'
Exhibits by Sgt. Grover Cole

RECORD BREAKER FLAGGED IN-A field man flags in the Mustang fighter plane piloted by Col. Clair
Peterson of the Army Air Forces at the end of a record-breaking transcontinental flight at La Guardia
Field, New York. Time from Los Angeles was six hours,. 31 minutes and 30 seconds, 2612 minutes better
than the previous time set by the Lockheed Constellation.
NEW RELIGIOUS TEACHING:
Week- Chur ass Inaugurated

"Mr. Cole has intentionally avoided.
the themes one might expect in sol-
dier art, for the drawings are not
pictorial records of the more obvious
aspects of war, such as characterize
the work of many professional artists
in uniform," Prof. W. J. Gores, of the
School of Architecture, said yester-
day about the exhibit of drawings by
Sgt. Grover Cole, in the Architecture
school foyer.
"The main theme of Sgt. Cole's
work," he continued, "is a very hu-
man and sensitive interest in people
and their environment. Pathos may
be noted in some of the works, humor
in others, sincerity and understand-
ing in nearly all."
Cole Stationed in England
Grover Cole, formerly an instructor
of ceramics in the University, is on
leave of absence while in service, and
is now stationed in England, attached
to the Supreme Headquarters of the
Allied Expeditionary Forces.
The forty drawings and water-
colors, ranging from portraits to
nature sketches, were done by Sgt.
Cole in England during the past year.
Sgt. Cole said in a recent letter to
Prof. Gores, "Generally speaking, the
essence of all my paintings is this-
they're a reflection of fast, disrupted
efforts in an attempt to get to know
new surroundings with the color of
war conditions and the sort of exhil-
aration of these crazy days."
GI Art 'Transitory
"GI art seems so transitory to me
and I've tried to avoid the trivialities
of soldier life for something more
basic. The things are not war docu-

ments. They're people and places in
1944 as seen by me in England."
"I've felt free in a sense to do a
lot of things-unfettered by the sur-
roundings of an organized society;
and yet I hope my former training
and discipline is the foundation of
all this."
The closing date of the exhibit,
which is on display from 8 to 5 p.m.
week days, has been extended from
May 16 to June 1. Prof. Gores, Chair-
man of the Department of Design,
of the School of Architecture, is in
charge of the exhibit.

Waste Paper To
Be Collected
Waste paper will again be collected
Thursday, May 25, George H. Gabler,
chairman of the Washtenaw County
Salvage Committee announced yes-
terday.
Local householders, students and
merchants are reminded to save ev-
ery scrap of paper.
Salvage collections for Washtenaw
County during April netted 1,413,000
pounds of metal; 6,190 pounds of
rubber, 662,000 pounds of paper and
30,790 pounds of rags.
Over a 22-month period, collec-
tions yielded 39,000 pounds of metals,
1,265,946 pounds of rubber, 8,240,000
pounds of paper, and 473,474 pounds
of rags.

An innovation in local public
schools, week-day religious education
is now being planned by the Ann
Arbor Council of Churches for chil-
dren in elementary grade schools to
supplement their religious training.
Donald Katz, president of the!
Council and chemical engineering
professor, stated yesterday that the
Council hopes to employ a trained
teacher for the program which
would begin next fall with a section
of the sixth grade.
Not a Cure-All
"This would not be a cure-all for
the lack of religious training, nor
would it take the place of the church
Sunday school, but it is to reirnforce
the spiritual life of the children in
this community," he said.
Plans for a church school week in
September are now being formulated
in order to put the general topic of
religious education before the par-
e its and children. It will stress the
necessity of improving religious
training in churches and increasing
attendance, Professor Katz said.

It was emphasized that these
week-day classes in religion are an
experiment and will at first touch
only a small fraction of the school-
age children.
Permission Must Be Obtained
Permission must be obtained from
the public school authorities for re-
lease of the children from classes
once or twice a week. The religious
education classes would be conducted
in churches adjacent to the schools.
Final plans are also subject to the
approval of the churches.
The board of directors of the
Counil reported that attendance
would depend upon the consent of
parents. The curriculum would bje
child-centered using the best mater-
ials available and taught by a pro-
fessional teacher of the same calibre
as those found in public schools.
A budget of $3,500 has been set
up by the Council for the next fiscal
year to cover expenses of the entire
program. Member churches and in-I
dividual gifts would form the source

of the contributions.
Nine Churches Represented
Although the Council now repre-
sents nine churches, Prof. Katz said
that it was hoped that other church-
es would find it favorable to join or
co-operate with the Council's pro-
gram even if they are not members.
"This project is one type of work
that can be done better collectively
and by united action," he stated.
Under the sponsorship of the city
Ministerial Association and the
Michigan Council of Churches, the
city Council was organized last sum-
mer to bring churches and laymen
closer together. The five members
of each church on the Council are
the minister and representatives
from the women's and men's groups,
Sunday school and youth clubs.
Churches'now holding membership
are the Presbyterian, First Baptist,
Second Baptist, C o n g r e gational,
First Methodist, West Side Metho-
dist, Unitarian, Christian Memori-
al and Bethlehem Evangelical.
