Kellogg Foundation Useless-Book Canvass Yields Ancient Volumes Aid Local Libraries The W. K. Kellogg Foundation, which has been the donor of many gifts to the University, its latest be- ing the new dental school, was re- cently the indirect cause of the addi- tion of more than 800 interesting old books which were obtained by the Michigan Historical Collection. The Foundation collected during April and May from seven counties in southern Michigan, 904,789 worn- out books which were judged worth- less. In return for each five such books handed in, one new publication, to be chosen by the local library, was supplied by the sponsors of the move- ment. The Michigan Historical Collection, hearing that approximately one mil- lion books were to be sent to the pulp mills, obtained permission to go through them and retain the val- uable volumes. While nothing of any great value was uncovered, Miss Annie Muir MacIntyre, research as- sistant of the Collection, stated that much of interest to students of early Michigan literature was found. Among the books, which have since been turned in to the General Lib- rary and the Clements Library, were county histories, old atlases of the state, various official publications and works of comparatively unknown Michigan authors. One of the most interesting, Miss MacIntyre said, was the "Immigrants' Guide," which dealt with the topography of the state, illustrating by maps their ad- vice as to the best sites for farm lands open to new settlers in Michi- gan's early days. Mrs. Zoe Wright, the Foundation librarian, has been assisting local libraries in choosing books to replace the old ones collected by children and civic groups in the seven counties. The campaign in Van Buren County, where the movement was started, culminated May 1, designated as Library Day. In that county alone more than 167,200 volumes were collected, which means that they will be replaced on the library shelves by 33,000 new books. A further agreement provides, that each new book purchased by the; library will be matched by one do- nated by the Foundation, the book to be of the local library's choice. The Michigan Historical Collection, which has offices on the Ground Floor of the Rackham Building, spent the better part of a week, working from 6 to 10 p.m., carrying out their tremendous task of separating the wheat from the chaff of almost one million dust-covered volumes. Stockwell Hall Holds Tea Stockwell Hall residents will en- tertain guests today from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. when the usual weekly social tea will be held in the living room. Mrs. Virginia Miner Harryman and Mrs. Lura D. Niles, house direc- tors at the West Quadrangle will pre- side over the tea table. i I t 'r Tennis Tourney Togs -. - t For all sport wear the service- ability of detachable skirts is proven. Better shops recommend detachable skirts for tennis, golf, bicycling and other sports. Sadie Hawkins Dance Features Informal Garb Pinafores, overalls, slacks or shorts -anything goes for the Sadlie Hawk- ins dance to be given Saturday at the League, according to Betty Hoag, '41, in charge of the affair. Sadie Hawkins, spinster in the Li'l Abner cartoon, will swing out on the Michigan campus for the first time to mark the only women's invitational dance of the Summer Session. Informality is to reign over the affair, where the women will bring their dates in whole or par- tial costume. A few suggestions came from Miss Hoag as to how women may dress, but none for the men who must merely match their moods, and use their own imagination. Dancers are asked to wear at least some sugges- tion of a costume, if only a ban- danna or for girls a big hair bow, to get into the spirit of the party. For those with more ingenuity, there will be a costume committee scouting around to find the best imitator ofra Kentucky mountaineer. A prize will be given for the best woman's and the best man's costume. The hillbilly motif is to be carried out to any extreme from tattered shorts like Daisy Mae wears to a cotton dress with a sun bonnet. A word to those who cannot pic- ture themselves garbed in a costume, the committee is there to enforce penalties as well as give prizes. The normal price is 35c a person, but the committee may tack on as many as five extra pennies for those who come prettied up in regular date 'clothes. This al. powerful group of judges is made up of Agnes Landers, Miss Hoag, Bob Bishop and Logan Hovis.

A Saturday morning wedding in Detroit last week united in marriage two former students of the Univer- sity, Anabel Avery, '40, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence W. Avery, of Detroit, and Robert V. Baxley, '40, son of Mr. and Mrs. Williar H. Bax- ley, of Pleasantville, N. Y. Many of the couple's University classmates were in the bridal party of the affair, which took place in Christ Church, Cranbrook. Mrs. Har- vey B. Greene, of Birmingham, sister of the bride, was the maid of honor. The four bridesmaids were Martha Cook, '40, of Hillsdale, Annalbel Dredge, '40, of Cleveland, O., Al- berta Wood, '40, of Anchorage, Ky., and Enora Ferriss, '40, of Detroit. Assisting the bridegroom were Rob- ert L. Space, best, man, and Goss Smith, of Milwaukee, Wis., Gilbert Phares, of Chicago, Ill., Harvey Greene, of Birmingham, and Brady Anderson, of Ann Arbor. The bride wore a marquisette gown with a full skirt, trimmed at the neck with antique rose point lace. A Juliet cap of the lace held her full length veil, and she carried orchids. The couple plans to live in Detroit. B U M T H U M B-"Babbling Buck" Newsom, Detroit Tiger pitcher who'd won his last 13 starts, won't get into this pose again for a while.

J 1 i 1 t j 'j 1. f t L t A /1 l 'Family Affair' At Majestic "Family Affair" arrived at the Ma- jestic Theatre yesterday with the four starring roles capably handled by Nancy Kelly, Robert Cummings, Roland Young and Hugh Herbert. A Wall Street Entan%1':ment It is an amusing (in fact it might even be called, funny if it weren't for this hot weather) story of the trials and tribulations of the Boston Wall Street. The black sheep, Amos Bullerton (Roland Young) of a high brow Bostonian family is dishonor- ably discharged from any further connections with said family. He feebly tries to impress his daughter (Nancy Kelly) by entertaining her at a swanky night club during her visit in New York. Things immediately progress from bad to worse and he is exposed as being what he is rather than what he wanted to be. However, the attempt which seems to prove unfortunate at the time really rees- tablishes him in the Boston Wall Street when, through the philander- ing of Gilikin, owner of the Alloy Copper Mines, his fate ishshifted into brighter channels. Upon being sent to head a Boston branch, Bullerton discovers that he 's still the black sheep as far as Boston is concerned and his troubles begin. His daughter and legal ad- viser hop to his rescus by devising an impossible scheme which wouldn't work anywhere 'other than in the movies and the doting, mid-Victorian grandfather is finally persuaded to approve of his supposedly good-for- nothing son. Hugh Herbert Is Good Of course there must be a love angle and this is suppled by Cum- mings and Kelly who turn out a rather unromantic romance but at least it is in the realm of possibility and that's more than we can say for the rest of the picture. Hugh Her- bert is just plain Hugh Herbert and we've seen Kelly and Cummings do a better job than this; however, we laughed and that's a good sign.
