I rAGE STX T HE MICHIGAN DTILY FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 195 I P11111 lip 1911111 li STILL NO BEDS: Ann Arbor To Open New Fire House Ann Arbor's modern new fire station is ready for business- with one complication. No- beds have arrived yet and sliding poles which arrived yesterday have not yet been installed. The opening which was first ex- pected by October 1, is now sched- uled for the middle of October. The cityfire commission said yes- terday the dedication should be held in ten days. FIRE CHIEF Ben Zahn express- ed disappointment in the late opening. "With Fire Prevention Week from October 4 to 10 we could have held an open house," he said. "Since we can't have an open house until all the equip- ment arrives, we'll have to post- pone it," he explained. Designed by Ann Arbor archi- tect Douglas D. Loree, the new fire station was built at a cost of $169,157. It is located at 1510 Stadium Boulevard, near Packard Road. Work began last fall after a bond issue was passed providing $203,000 for the new house. The building was completed in 240 days; only minor adjustments are now necessary to install the poles. One of the most modern sta- tions in the district, it is built of steel masonry with a brick ex- terior, gypsum plank roof. Recess- ed flourescent lighting has been built into the tiled walls and floors. PRESENT PLANS call for a staff of 16 men to occupy the new sta- tion, leaving 40 men in the old station at 219 E. Huron. The new station will cover the southern half of Ann Arbor up to Hill and Pauline. Modern conveniences found in the building include built-in lockers, a double refrigerator kitchen, recreation and class rooms and two dormitories. It can accommodate 32 men. The old station was built in 1882 and has been serving the en- tire city area alone since that year. In 1924 the city's voters passed a bond issue providing $10,000 for two new areas for fire stations. Of this amount, $7,500 was used for the lot on Stadium Blvd. and Fire Chief Zahn reports that be- cause of added collections, $7,500 is still available should the city decide to build another fire house. Eskimo Carvings To Display Here Shown for the first time in the United States, an exhibit of "Es- kimo Carvings" will be on display from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily start- ing Sunday in Alumni Memorial Hall. Consisting of 90 pieces of stone hand craft by Eskimo tribesmen from the arctic spaces of Canada, the exhibition attracted consid- erable attention when given a cor- onation showing in London. Carved by untutored artist craftsmen, the small statuettes are made of steatite (soapstone), amphibolite and many of the harder stones. Walrus and nar- whal ivory, bone, antler and musk- ox horn were also used. James A. Houston, arctic repre- sentative of the Canadian Handi- craft Guild, who collected the carvings, has been engaged in the work since 1948 under a special grant from the Canadian Gov- ernment. * * * *x Australia s Difficulties Elaborated How Australia can maintain it- self as an outpost of democracy in a crowded area containing half of the world's population is the main problem confronting the Austra- lians today, according to Dean George Browne of the University of Melbourne's School of Educa- tion. Dean Browne explained that prior to the second world war, Australian immigration policy an- tagonized its neighbors because of unfair race restrictions.

The mystery of the "lost Ple- iad" will occupy both amateur de- tectives and stargazers during Oc- tober, according to Prof. Hazel M.- Losh of the astronomy depart- ment. Iore Foreign Students at ' Enrollment of foreign students on campus this year has reached a total of 1,060, a 10 percent in- crease over last year. - Approximately 90 percent of these are non-citizens, with 10 percent from outlying American areas, according to Robert B. Klinger, assistant director of the University's International Center. Enrollment from every area in the world has increased, with the exception of Latin America. Countries represented on cam- pus by more than 10 students in- clude: Canada, China, India, the Philippines, Iraq, Turkey, Vene- zuela, Japan, Germany, Great Britain, Colombia, Thailand, Bra- zil, Israel, Korea, Greece, and the Netherlands. PEIADES are a constellation that appear soon after dark in northeast heavens, Prof. Losh ex- plained. The unaided eye can catch six stars in the constella- tion, which is shaped like a small dipper, she added. However, other members of the formation are not so easy to find.,,"There is little doubt that a seventh star, now faint, was originally brighter and vis- ible to the naked eye," the as- tronomer continued. "In fact," Prof. Losh comment- ed, "sometimes as many as nine or ten stars can be detected in this formation, but they have a way of blinking and slipping from view." Another feature of astronomical displays during October will be meteors which, according to Prof. Losh, will occur on clear nights more frequently than usual. This she explained is because of "strag- gler stars" left from last month. The professor also predicted that moonlight will be plentiful in Oc- tober. "The Hunter's Moon which will appear at the middle of the month should prove to be a boon 'for the hunters," she added. 0 ..
