CHEST GIVES SUPPORT:
Nursery School Helps Working Mothers
By RAY COURAGE
Six days a week at 6:45 a.m. the
Perry Nursery School opens its
doors to 45 small children, rang-
ing in age from two and a half to
four and a half years, whose work-
ing mothers are unable to care for
them during the day.
Thus begins the day for these
little tots, a day filled with ac-
tivities and rest periods which are
supervised by four full time ex-
perienced teachers and three part
time teachers.
THE NURSERY is directed by
Mrs. Roberta Martin, who took
over the job in 1946 after previ-
ously teaching in Seattle, Wash-
ington.
Mrs. Martin, who often helps
out with the supervision of the
children, explained that a great
part of the financial burden of
the school is carried by the
Community Chest, although
small feesparencharged to the
children's parent or parents.
The nursery is only one of the
fifteen social agencies which are
partially or wholly supported by
the Community Chest Fund.
Set up as a nursery to care for
children of mothers who are the
sole support of a family, the school
handles in addition, children
whose mothers are the major sup-
port of a family.
ABOUT HALF of the total en-
rollment of the nursery are in-
cluded in this last category, main-
ly children of veterans who are in
school.
Of the other children who at-
tend, many have lost their fa-
thers in the war, or have had
their homes split by divorce, let-

NEW WAY OF LIFE:
German Soldier Experiences
First Democracy at University
By PHYLLIS KULICK
A former member of the German Wehrmacht is experiencing de-
mocracy first hand at the University.
Arrived only three weeks ago, 28 year old biology student Karl
Heinrich Meyer is slowly acclimating himself to a new way of life in
both the campus and American tradition.
IT WAS a long road the tall, thin German traveled-from Nazi
schools and armies, East front to West front prisoner of war camps,
Occupied Germany-before a grand-uncle in Ann Arbor arranged a
loan for the student.
Meyer spent the past year ai the University of Tuebingen, in
the French Zone.
Longhurst Gives Impressions
Of Spain Under Franco Rule
Received at a formal reception
by the Spanish dictator, General
Franco, John Longhurst, of the
History Department, came away
with the impression that he is "a
very cold, self-contained and suave
leader."
.Longhurst, along with 24 Amer-
ican students studying at the Uni-
versity ofsMadrid last summer,
were addressed by Franco at his
Madrid headquarters, Pardo Pal-
ace.
* * *
HE WAS particularly impressed
by the large armed guard which
surrounded Franco and says that
he heard from -an "authoritative
source" that two attempts on his
life were made this sammer.
Spain, according to Longhurst,
has many aspects of a huge mili-
tary camp, with the army of 1,-
000.,000 men very much in evi-
dence. He says that the attitude
of the Spanish government is that
Spain will serve as a base for the
Western Powers in the event of
another European war.
Although he feels that the
Spanish people are impressed with
the industrial might of the United
States, Longhurst does not believe
that the Western Powers are very
popular with the average Spanish
citizen.

"Most of the German universities are destroyed, and in addition
academic studies each student must help reconstruct the buildings
his spare time," Meyer said.

SUPERVISED PLAY AT PERRY NURSERY SCHOOL

EQUIPMENT, especially in science laboratories is very scarce,
he reported. "I had to wait six months before I could get into a lab,
meanwhile studying 'from only my lecture notes. Classrooms are so
crowded that I would have to go to an 8:30 a.m. class at 7:15 and stand
to get a seat," he said.
"I lived in a garden house with no windows nor bed and only
a table and chair. For two weeks I lived on five pounds of bread,
and for another week on apples, before my ration card was ap-
proved," he said.
He fought with the Wehrmacht from 1938-45 when he was taken
prisoner of war by the American army and transferred to a French
camp.
Turning to politics, Meyer expressed optimism about a reunited
Germany. "However, Germany will never assume the leading role it
played," he said.
Democratic influences are working very slowly, he observed..
The people are unaccustomed to democracy and are primarily in-
terested in where their next meal is coming from.
The Berlin air lift is bolstering feeling for the democratic powers
more than anything else, he said.
