TREASURE HUNT:
Antique Adventure
Told by Patterson

By ROZ VIRSHUP
Antique hunters may start in
search of silver spoons but they
never know when they'll run into
a historical treasure hunt, ac-
cording to Robert Patterson, Ann
Arbor resident and former United
States consul to Ireland.
Patterson retired from business
and recently returned from Eng-
land and Wales where he went
Young Santas
Get Thanks
From Europe
Paying Santa Claus has
brought its reward to thousands
of school children in the United
States and Canada who sent
gift packages to European young-
sters.
Several thousand letters have
been pouring into Red Cross of-
fices, expressing in a variety of
languages similar emotions of
gratitude.
* * *
"YOUR GOOD heart has moved
us all . . . we will ask God for
you and your dear country ever
so many blessings," a seven-year-
old Italian girl wrote.
Translation of letters to good
Samaritans in Washtenaw
County was undertaken by fac-
ulty members and students at
the University and at Michigan
State Normal College, under the
direction of Prof. William G.
Merharb, head of the modern
languages department of Uni-
versity High School.
Contents of the gift boxes,
valued at about two dollars, in-
cluded toys as well as pads of
paper, soap; toothpaste and pen-
cils.
Recipients of the gifts showed
a sincere concern for their newly
found friends in the United
States.
"Do you have enough to eat?"
a Dutch boy inquired. "Haven't
you gone to another country dur-
ing the war or wasn't there any
war over there?"

THERE HE "stumbled" on
9 scrap book of water color
sketches that may give a clue to
the missing letters of the English
statesman Horace Walpole to Rev.
William Mason.
On the flyleaf of the scrap-
book was inscribed "Landscapes
by Rev. William Mason, poet."
Between the pages Patterson
found the codicile to Rev. Ma-
son's will.
Patterson said, "The name
struck a familiar note. Wilmouth
Lewis, of Yale University, a
former classmate of mine, has
spent the past 15 years compiling
the biography of Horace Wal-
pole."
HE WENT ON to explain that
although Mr. Mason's letters to
Walpole were uncovered and
published in 1851 there has been
no trace of the return correspon-
dence.
Patterson purchased the book
as well as other old prints and
scrapbooks which came from
the same attic collection.
"I hope to make three more
trips abroad, and perhaps find
the missing letters," he remarked.
* * *
iVIANY OTHER items of Pat-
terson's antique hunt will be on
display at the Armory Sunday and
will be auctioned off Monday.
Among the collector's items
to be auctioned are a set of 15
Welsh Wrexham bells, popular
in the past for accompanying
Christmas caroling.
Patterson demonstrated the
beauty of their tone with a rendi-
tion of ."Jingle Bells."
"Bell ringing societies are being
revived, you know," he remarked.
"I wish I could find some interest-
ed students to take up the art."
Old silver, prints, paintings,
cameos and china as well as odd
items such as a policeman's
"billy" dating back to William IV
are among the large collection to
be auctioned.
"The only difficulty with
antique dealing is that you get
so attached to your finds that
you hate to part with them,"
Patterson commented.
Groups Select
Six from 'U' To
Fill Positions
Five faculty members and a
University office worker have been

ber of organizations.

Committee
Emphasizes
YuleSafety,
By DON KOTITE
Put safety at the top of your
last-minute Christmas shopping
list, a local safety committee has
advised.
With early signs of another icy
winter already plaguing Michigan,
campaigns aimed at reduction of
the death toll are now in full
swing throughout the state and
natirn, the committee explained.
PART OF THE Ann Arbor bivi-
sion of the Automobile Club of
Michigan, the local safety group
is cooperating with other civic
agencies in the battle against win-
ter hazards on streets and high-
ways.$
Committee secretary W. M.
Strickland stressed that this
year's slogan, "Don't Let Death
Take Your Holiday," has behind
it the combined forces of the
Nation Safety Council in Chi-_
cago, and 160 other national
"safety first" organizations.
S-Day - Seeing, Steering and
Stopping - is scheduled for Dec.
21, the official arrival of winter,
but the weatherman has jumpedJ
the gun this season by nearly a
month, Strickland pointed out.
"OUR RECORDS show that thet
traffic toll for Christmas Day is
twice the annual daily average, in-
cluding Independence Day and-
New Year's Day," he commented.1
He listed three basic rules to'-
remember for keeping the "spiritJ
of Christmas - alive!":
1. Start early and take it easyl
when driving.
2. Be extra alert when walking.
Avoid last-minute holiday shop-
ping and carry parcels without ob-l
structi:.g your view.
3. Stay sober. Don't let spirit
(s) replace caution during the
Christmas-New Year period.

By DOLORES LASCHEVER
It's a good thing decades come
but once every 10 years.
For come January 1, all thet
printed forms marked 194- will
no longer be any good.
The passing of half a centuryt
also means the passing of the
194-'s and the coming of the
195-'s.
* * *
WHAT HAPPENS? Do bored1
office workers go through form
after form crossing out the 4's and
marking in 5's? Or are the old
forms thrown out and new ones
printed?
University students will be
lucky when next semester rolls
P'lan Drive to
Expand Text
Loan Library
..1
The University's 1,873 volume
textbook lending library is in line.
for considerable expansion as plans
for a campus-wide book drive be-
gin to materialize.
The drive, to be conducted by
Alpha Phi Omega, national service
fraternity, will begin during the
last week of the semester and will
continue into the second semester.
Collection boxes will be placed in
all student residences and at stra-
tegic points on campus.
THE DRIVE was planned by co-
chairmen Paul Weinmann, '51, and
Dick White, BAd '50, of Alpha Phi
Omega, after consultation with
Charles H. Peake, assistant dean
of the literary college, and Prof.
Lionel Laing, chairman of concen-
tration advisers, who supervise the
textbook lending library.
Although the textbook lend-
ing library consists only of text-
books currently being used in
University courses, Weinmann
emphasized that "contributions
need not be limited to currently
used textbooks. Any and all
types of college books, in any
condition, will be accepted by the
drive."
Obsolete books will be sold, and
proceeds will be used to purchase
texts needed by the library, Wein-
mann said.

around. They'll have brand new
forms marked 195-.
According to a spokesman from
the accounting office, the Uni-
versity never maintains more than
a three to six months supply be-
cause so many of them get out
of date anyhow.
"WE DON'T expect to have any
sizable number of forms on hand,"
he said, adding that those that
were left over would be used for
'scratch paper. He laughed at the
suggested attempt to estimate the
number of forms used by the Uni-
versity each year. "With 20,000
students and several hundred dif-
ferent forms, counting them would
be a Herculean task."
Two local businesses also have
a satisfactory arrangement.
One, a women's apparel shop,
uses forms made out to 19
while a State St. restaurant has
no dates on its checks at all.
* * *
THE LOCAL BANK won't fare
so well. "I think we'll use the old
forms until they run out," the
auditor commented.
"We haven't thought about it,"
the secretary of a local insurance
agency explained. "I imagine
we'll just cross out the 4's and
write in 5."
Crossing out one number and
writing in another isn't so bad.
But come another 50 years there'll
be three numbers to cross out and
write in. That'll be the year 2000.
