Voters Here To
Register Under
A New System
A new system of registration for
persons who wish to vote in the elec-
tion Sept. 7 to elect three new mem-_
bors 0f the Ann Arbor school board
has been inaugurated and will go
into effect at once, according to Lee
M. Tliurston, assistant superintend-
ent of schools here.t
A qualifled elector, it was explain-
ed, must, besides being a resident of
Ann Arbor and more than 21 years
of age, be a tax-payer or have chil-
dren of school age.
Because of the unusually large vote
last year, it was impossible to make
an accurate check of the eligibility
of the 3,00O persons who participat-
ed.
To avoid a similar occurence this
year, the names of all those who are
on the iles at the Board of Educa-
tion office are being checked and let-
ters sent to those who are eligible
to vote and to those who are not
eligible. A total of 3,700 have been
sent to the former and 900 to the
latter, Mr. Thurston said. He also
stated that in all probability several
mistakes had been made because of
the nature of the qualifications and
the, difficulty of obtaining accurate
data.
Anyone who does not receive a let-
ter for the Board of Education office
and is eligible to vote may do so pro-
viding that he registers sometime
before Sept. 7 at the Ann Arbor High
School, he said.

Program For Tennessee Valley
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-'P)-The
American Newspaper Publishers As-
sociatoin today proposed to the re-
covery admimistration a code for
newspaper operations p r o v i d i n g
shortening of hours, minimum wages
higher than provided in the blanket
agreement, maintenance of existing
contracts, and the reservation .of thel
constitutional right of a free press.
In the document,. for which ap-
proval was requested, the publishers
agreed:
After Aug. 31, or before then upon
approval of the President, not to
employ any persons under 16 years
of age, except for the delivery or sale
of newspapers where such work does
not interfere with hours of day school
and except persons between 14 and
16 years of age for other work be-
tween 7 a.m., and 7 p.m., not to ex-
ceed three hours per day, in employ-
ment in other than mechanical 'or
manufacturing departments.
Not to work any accounting, cleri-
cal, office, service or sales employes
(except outside employes) in any
office or department for more than
40 hours in any one week, except as

(EDITOR'S NOTE: In this article,
second of a daily series of personal
reports y the men drecting.he Fed-
eral administration's recovery projects,
the chairman of the Tennessee Valley
Athority 'tells of the unique plans
being developed for the states in that
region.)
By DR. ARTHUR E. MORGAN
Chairman, Tenessee Valley
Authority
(Copyright, 1933, By The Associated
Press)
President Roosevelt last April sug-
gested to the congress that the great
Tennessee river drainage basin, in
Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee,
Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, and
Mississippi, should be the setting for
the first deliberate undetaking on a
large scale to evolve an orderly and
balanced development of the social
and economic life of a part of our
country.
The discipline of orderly planning
is essential to preserve the Tennessee
valley as the site of a permanent
civilization. Lands ruined for farm-
ing can b planted to forest, which
will arrest the washing away of soil
and revive a profitable tree crop.
Not Absolute Owners
Farmers should learn they are not
absolute owners of their land. It is
theirs during their lifetime and then
they should pass it along, fertile, not
barren or ruined.
It 'is the duty of the Tennessee
Valley Authority to suggest to 'the
states within its area legislation that
will lay the foundation for the pres-
ervation of permanent agriculture.
The southern highlands in Ken-
tucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Vir-
ginia, Alabama, North and South
Carolina, and Georgia are the last
stand of individuality in America.
Unlike the rest of us who live un-
der the spell of mass production in
crowds and cities, the highlander
likes small communities and rural
life. He is without adequate roads
and railroads and has a very small
income.
Industries Crowding In
Labor being cheap in his area great
industries are crowding in and tend
to destroy his civilization. France
has successfully rejected mass pro-
duction in favor of small industries.
The Tennessee Valley Authority
has plans to encourageehome indus-
tries so living standards of the region
can be raised without unnecessary
increase of competition with the rest
of the country.
The unhurried highlander, self-re-
specting and independent, in time
can create fine things in furniture,
clothing, ceramics, scientific instru-
ments, etc. Each highland valley
can become the center of some indi-
vidual excellence.
At Norris dam, formerly known as
Cove Creek dam, which must be
planned with utmost care to insure
safety, and which is the first large
construction work, it is planned to
select intellgient and teachable young
people from rural communities and
to combine work with training; while
half are working, the other half will
be taught about hygiene, sanitation
and home management, and trained
in various skills that they can take
back home.
Not Purely Employment Measure
The most important point to be
understood is this: The Tennessee
Valley Authority is not primarily an
emergency uneployment relief mea-
sure. The main purpose is to build
up the permanent social and eco-
nomic prosperity of the Tennessee
valley.
This, as is obvious, can only be
accomplished by using the people of
the region on the job. And it should
be remembered 1,000,00 folk have
returned from the outside world to
the Tennessee valley and need work.
It is pitiful to witness the futile
hopefulness of outsides who are drift-
ing into the Muscle Shoals area in
shelter, and unless the situation is
better understood their number will
needlessly increase.

OR TEN YEARS
NEW YORK, Aug. 8. -(I)- The
century plant's blossom was late for
a date. The date was with hundreds
of men, women and children who
had been informed that the plant,
pride of the Bronx Botanical Gar-
dens, was due to bloom yesterday.
All day a big crowd stood' agape
and waiting for the blooming. Noth-
ing happened.
"Maybe it'll bloom in a week or
10 days,"said attendants.
the maximum, except as provided in
existing contracts and agreements.
However, when necessary, because
of an emergency, overtime and extra
shifts above the limitations herein
set forth shall be permitted, provided
that no employee other than one en-
gaged on emergency maintenance or.
repair work, shall be permitted to
work more than 48 hours in any one
week.
Under the code, it was also agreed:
Not to pay any full time account-
ing, clerical, office, service or sales
employes, except outside employes in
any office or department, less than
$15 per week in any city of over 500,-
000 population or in the, immediate
trade area of such city; nor less than
$1450 per week' in any city of be-
tween 250,000 and, 500,000 or in the
immediate trade area of such city;
nor less than $14 a week in cities of,
between 2,500 and 250 000 population
or less than $12 per week intowns
of less than 2,500 population.
The proposed code was suomitted
in behalf of daily newspapers of the
United States -members of the
American Newspaper Publishers' as-
sociation, the Inland Press Associa-
tion, the Southern Newspaper Pub-
lishers Association, the New England
Publishers Association, and other or-
ganizations of publishers.
In a letter accompanying the code
signed by Howard Davis, president of
the American Newspaper Publishers
Association, he stated that the board
of that association, its federal laws
committee, and representatives of the
other organizations have been in al-
most continuous session on the prob-
lem for more than two weeks past.
"During that period," said Davis,
"they have been in constant contact
withapublishers. throughout the coun-
try and feel certain that the code
herewith submitted will receive al-
most unanimous support from pub-
lishers of daily newspapers."
The code was signed for the Amer-
ican Newspaper Publishers' Associa-
tion by Davis, as president.

Aid In Paying
Arg'entina Debt
BUENOS AIRES, Aug. .-(UP)--
parture of the United States fro
the gold standard may enable F ;
gentina to balance its budget for the
first time since the budget systm
was installed.
The 1933 budget of 820,000,000 pe-
sos ($277,000,000) set aside 27 ,e.
cent of the estimated revenue to p
principal and interest due during '1W
year on some $490.000.000 o
abroad. Of this more than $250,0"
000 was owed in the United Stza.
and for every dollar of debt ser"
payable this year the budget app: -
priated 3.88 pesos.
Since- the United States forsok
gold it takes less than three pesos i
pay a dollar in debt service, so i '
treasury will need about 20 per cent
less than the appropriation to pay i
dollar debts.
Windt Describes Newest
Offering Of Play Grouy

that made one certain that the thea
tre meant a good deal, "It shouWd
certainly be an expression of the i.
mediatpresent. 'Autumn Crocus' 1,
just finished a run of nearly a yea,'
duration in New York and befor,
that ran for a year in England."
"What made it sell?" I wanted R
know.
Mr. Windt shrugged his shoulde! :;
"Who knows? It's comedy, sentime.
It's niot a great play but you'll firld
it very sincere and entertaining."
I was sure that I would.
"An autumn crocus is a sprint
flower that blooms in the fall, yo
know," he volunteered.
"That is a nice phrase," I inter-
rupted. "Wait until I write it down."
"The lead in the play is a middle-
aged woman who doesn't bloom until
it is almost. too late."
"That sounds sloppy," I said.
"It is not sloppy. It is gently sen-
timental and it is very entertaining."
"Thank you for the interview, Mr.
Windt," I said.
"Not at all," he said.

T'S just what you'd expect. People
who enjoy the good things of life...
are constantly looking for something
better to eat and drink...and smoke.
In cigarettes this better taste can come
only from finer ingredients. Chester-
fields are more satisfying to the culti-
vated palate. For one thing, there's
never any attempt to skimp on Turk-
ish leaf.
These richly flavored Turkish tobac-
cos are added with a generous hand.
N
In fact Chesterfield's new way of
mingling tobacco flavors and aromas is
really the equivalent of an entirely new
kind of tobacco ... .one that combines
the best qualities of Turkish and fine
Domestic leaf.
Perhaps you've noticed too, that the
paper in Chesterfields is whiter...purer.
It burns without taste or odor.
Smoke Chesterfields whenever you
like...They're mild and pure. They'll
n3ver tire you as an over-sweetened
cigarette might easily do. Fight up Ind
see for yourself. They satisfy!
