The second will be on the Junior Chanu- ber of Commerce.) By CRAIG WILSON Are you looking for the nearest woods where the wild flowers bloom in the spring? Just ask the Ann Arbor Cham- ber of Commerce-fountain of ap- plicable information and hub of the city's business activities.

Christman, the Cham- ber's executive secretary, and his secretary, Rose Schwab, answerOf c r ISA Officers A drElFleted The International Students As- sociation of the University has elected officers and drawn up a tentative program foil the spring semester.

Search Plane Lost in State EAST LANSING, Feb. 20-(1>)_- Darkness forced a temporary halt late today in the search for a plane carrying two Flint men missing since a flight from Houghton Lake to Flint late Thursday. State police said no trace of the plane was found following a day- long search that criss-crossed the state. Four planes from the Self- ridge Field Air Rescue Squad, a state police plane and a plane from Hougton Lake took part . in the hunt. Missing with the small cub craft? owned by the Flint Flying Serv- ice were the pilot, Ivan Martin and Dr. William Murray, a dentist.- Both men are from Flint. State Police said Martin took; off from Houghton Lake at 7 pm.; last night. The State Police post at Essex- ville, near Bay City, reported that 6,000 telephone calls, receive 5,000 pieces of mail, send out 11,700 letters and answer 2,900 personal questions a year. Help for Students The Chamber helps students, too. "Business administration and architecture students use us for a home-base on local projects. Their first step is usually to come in and discuss their problems with us," Christman said. Foreign students bring in cus- toms papers for verification of purchase and price before sending their packages to native lands. Bewildered freshmen and ex- cited football fans drop in for maps of Ann Arbor when they get lost or thoroughly confused in new surroundings. Facts and Figures Where do these data-wizards get all their facts and figures? From the Chamber's own file of directories §tatistics, reports and lists. Included are domestic and foreign brokers' files: local, state and national statistics on production, distribution and em- ployment; directories of 114 Mich- igan and 82 out-state cities. Ahlo listed are the names and addresses of presidents and :sec- retaries of all civic organizations and manuals of all Federal, state and local public officials, with po- sitions held. In serving the community busi- ness interests, the Chamber plays host to more than 100 meetings of merchant groups in a year and serves as a nerve-center for the city and county war-bond drives. It led local cooperation in the all- cut war effort by indexing the rules and regulations of war-time bureaus for businessmen. "Few people have a real idea of our facilities and the ways in wich we can be of service,", Christman commented.

Glee Club Itinerary 'rha T~nirarcfxr 11n, Ol~t wil Prof. Shartel Will Discuss 'Law in Action' In this year's series of Thomas M. Cooley Lectures, Prof. Burke Shartel of the Law School will present a working philosophy of law in action. He will deliver the five lectures of this second annual series at 4:15 p.m. Monday through Friday in Rm. 120 Hutchins Hall. Prof. Shartel, who has taught jurisprudence here since 1920, has developed an original philosophy of the legal system which he calls "legal dynamics." He looks at law in the light of what actually hap- pens-haw our legal system is really operated by the acts of of- ficials. The first Thomas M. Cooley cec- turer was Prof. Henry Rottschafer of the University of Minnesota, who last year discussed "The Con- stitution and Socio - Economic Change." The lectures are named in honor of Thomas M. Cooley, one of the members of the Law School's first faculty, which was organized in 1859. The Law School and the Wil- liam W. Cook Endowment for Le- gal Research sponsor the lectures. ~NSA NEWS Pressure from member organi- zations of the National Students Association has been held partly responsible for the passage of the Meade bill for increased veterans subsistence, according to an NSA release.
