FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1948 PAGE THREE TH E MICHIGAN DAILY 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.

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.
