THE MICHIGAN DAILY S DA:. APRIL 25. 1948 THE MICH GAN DAI...........A..I.......& I. l..'li l/I ]\11 ifl AL. - ll liel Jul aC7 W Roaring lichigras Carnival Goes Over the To Goal of $2,000 EasilySurpassed Another Roaring Michigras weekend has become a kaleidoscopic memory of the minds of 13,000 carnival visitors and WAA swimming pool fund and the University Fresh Air Camp are each $1,000 richer. From the moment the Michigras mile-long parade got under way Friday through to Midnight when the carnival's fifty comic, mysterious and inviting booths closed, the big weekend was a spar- kling success.- The goal of $2,000 in profits for the charities was easily surpassed according to early unofficial estimates. Everyone, everywhere, had a great time. That included President Alexander G. Ruthven who had to out-hustle the proverbial one- armed paperhanger-when he took his two small grandchildren Sandra, six years old, and Alex, four years old, to the annual carnival. Dr. Ruthven declared that he hoped he had maintained the record he set last year of selling more apples than any other faculty member. As we go to press, the race is close and the final details on who dumped the most spys was not available. Promptly at closing time, the giant searchlight which swept Ann Arbor's sky a la Hollywood premier was turned off. But the story of the 1948 Michigras is not all over for the hundreds that contributed to its great success. The tired and fun- worn boosters must tear down the booths, the signs and the decora- tions before 2 p.m. today. BIKINI KIDS PARADE - No they're not fugitives from the A-Bomb, just Phi Gamma Delta fraternity men swinging down State St. with their prize-winning float during the Michigras parade. Later this husky crew copped another first prize for their booth in the Field House. They spent most of the evening carrying delighted small fry around the field house in their radio-active sedan chairs. DEVILISH DOINGS-Here come the Sig Ep's, spurred on by old Satin himself perched aton a smoking rock in the nether regions. The mile-long parade, designed to promote the annual Michigras carnival, wound through Ann Arbor streets Friday afternoon to attract thousands of festive spectators. WARTIME CARNIVAL-Here's a picture of the war-time version of Michigras which we discovered in our files. Called Michelodean, the war-time events also turned profits over to worthy causes. Evidently Michelodean was hard-hit by the gas shortage, having to resort to horse and buggy for motive power during its parade. MICHIGRAS.

Kappa Kappa Gamma gals here draw admiring whistles from male wolves among the spectators. Mother Nature called off the rain at the last minute and sent the sun out to keep the lasses from shivering. CROWD GATHERS-Here's just a portion of the onlookers who viewed the Michigras parade Friday. Thousands of spectators were treated to numerous floats, two bands, clowns galore, and all the pageantry which combined to make this year's Michigras "the best ever." TRUCK PARTS SENT TO SIR ALAN: Prof._Lloyd Helps Brother Rescue Sick Cows in India By DICK ARNESEN The story of a broken-down 1930 Whippet truck, British roy- alty, dying cows in India, and TWA's far-flying aircraft are strangely linked together in an East meets West "SOS" and res- cue mission. It began some 20 years ago in Delhi, India, when Lady Lloyd, wife of Sir Alan Lloyd, a retired British government official, and brother of Prof. H. R. Lloyd of the Engine School organized there a branch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Along in 1930 the S.P.C.A. con- verted a Whippet truck, early ad- venture of the Willys-Overland Corp. to an animal ambulance. The main function of the re- furbished Whippet was to cart off sick and dying cows left along In- Sdia's roadways by followers of the Hindu faith, whose religion for- bids the killing of the "sacred cow." As bad luck would have it. the chain-driven Whippet cashed in its chips just as the dead-cow season was approaching. Sir Alan wrote hastily to his brother, Prof. Lloyd, asking for the worn-out parts. Sir Alan wanted quick action as he and Lady Lloyd were soon to leave India permanently, and as a parting gesture, the faithful Whip- pet had to be reconditioned to carry on the work. "The day after I got the letter," said Lloyd, in an accent as English as a Harris Tweed, "I went down to the Willys man in town, and you know, I had the most ex- trawd'n'ry good luck. Who should come in but the Willys parts man. Well sir, I handed the whole busi- ness over to him and he told me he'd try to do something for us." Prof. Lloyd receivea the much needed-parts about a week later from the Toledo warehouse along with a note saying that it was the last set of its kind. The bill wasj $28.00 Arriving at theyWillow Run TWA offices, Lloyd discovered that he could send the parcel of iron "plasma" to the ailing Whip- pet for $24.90 ... almost what he had paid for it. No word concerning the Whip- pet's recovery has been sent from Delhi as yet, but lack of frenzied cables for more parts leads us to assume that Whippet is back in harness . . . answering the call of India's stricken cows.
