Issues to be decided at the Dec. 4 school district election include whether or not the tax limitation of the school district should be in- creased not more than three mills per dollar of the assessed valuation beyond the 15 mill limitation for a fle year period, so that the school- board should be enabled to purchase and improve school building sites and etect and equip city schools.

Kreisler was born in Vienna, the son of a distinguished physician, who was also an excellent amateur musi- cian. His first violin lessons were given him by his father, and at the age of seven Kreisler made his public debut. Regulations Relaxed Shortly after his debut, Kreisler was entered as a student at the Vienna Conservatory, in spite of the fact that one of the regulations of the institution specified that no one younger than fourteen be admitted. For three years, Kreisler studied there with Joseph Hellmesberger, receiving the goldtmedal for violin playing. He was then sent to Paris where he studied under Massart and Delibes at the Conservatory. From Paris, Kreislerhreturned to Vienna and undertook his first tour. The tour marked Kreisler's first ap- pearance in the United States. The violinist's American debut took place in Boston on Nov. 9, 1888. Turns to Medicine His American tour was successful, but upon his return to Vienna, Kreis- ler startled the musical world with Leaders fior Hilflel M1ember DrveSeleted, Heads of individual houses and1 groups for the current Hillel Mem- bership drive under the supervision of student directors Judy Jacobs and Joyce Donen and council mem-1 bers Dave Loewenberg and Betty Ginzberg will contact Jewish students this week in an attempt to raise Foundation membership to a new numerical high.

Today's Ann Arbor News In Summary Red Cross Chapter ... Members of the Washtenaw county Red Cross chapter will see films of After a full year as a soldier, Kreisler abandoned his uniform and returned to the violin. Since his return he has performed in many of the greatest cities of the world. He has been in the United States as a resident and soloist since the winter of 1919. Had Serious Accident In 1941, he was injured in a near- fatal accident while crossing the street in New York City. Little hope was given for his recovery, even less for his ever being able to play again. However, he made a remarkable re- covery, and was able to play several concerts the following season. The following year his tour was com- pletely booked again. 1, It, Red Cross activities overseas at the luncheonaand meeting Friday in North Hall.A.S M..

JUNGLE JOURNEY: Prof. Steere Completes Quest For Quinine-Produein Bark After two years of research in the wilds of Ecuador, Peru and Colombia in search of new sources of quinine, Prof. William C. Steere has returned to his duties as a member of the University's botany department. Expeditions in the jungle country of northern South America have pro- duced 30 new species of 'the quinine family plants and enough of the drug, Dr. Steere said, to supply the Army's needs for malaria victims. G.E. Announces New Rubber From Sand NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-UI)-A new synthetic rubber, made mainly from sand, and which forms a bouncing putty, was announced here today by the General Electric Company. In the form shown today, this silicone rubber is snow-white, soft as putty, pulls like taffy candy, but unlike either, if you drop a piece of it, it bounces higher than a rubber ball. This unheard-of action is due to the peculiar fact that when silicone rubber is pressed slowly it is a plastic like molding clay. When stress hits it suddenly, like the impact in drop- ping onto the floor, the stuff becomes momentarily completely resilient. Sent by the Board of Economic Warfare, Prof. Steere camped in the forests of Ecuador, Colombia and Peru to locate stocks of the chin- chona tree, from whose bark quinine and other anti-malarials are derived. Accompanied by Dr. F. R. Fosberg, of the United States Department of Agriculture, Prof. Steere began the search for a replacement of the natural supply located in the Dutch East Indies, now in Japanese hands. Quinine producing trees originally came from South America and like rubber was transplanted in the East Indies, Prof. Steere said. Stripped Quinine-Producing Bark j The job of the expedition was to find the trees, strip them of the quinine-producing bark, and have the bark transported to the United States, where it is processed. A state department agreement assures the South American nations that the chinchona trees will be replaced with new domestic growths. Prof. Steere first went on the ex- pedition in October, 1942. He said the problem today was less of dis- covering sources than of maintaining a steady flow of chinchona bark. The sponsoring department, formerly the Board of Economic Warfare, has been replaced by the Foreign Eco- nomic Administration. ac ' Lions Club To Meet ...
