ing of a radio play over the Ma
tional Broadcasting Company

Francisco
Page Gilman, 10, took the part
of a boy reciting poem at a
Ladies' Aid tea in a small Indiana
town twenty years ago. The
poem he was handed to read was
James Whitcomb's Riley's Little
Orphant Annie"
Then it was brought to light
that the boys grandfather, a
veteran Indianapolis printer, set
up that poem in type the first
time it was published, many
years ago, when Riley was an I'M
known Hoosier poet.
Page Gilman's father, Don E.
Gilman, was born at New York

worked on several Indianapolis
newspapers before he. moved to
the Pacific Coast. He now is
manager of the Pacific Division
Of the National Broadcasting

N. Hines. for Fl years q member
of the board of county road COM
missioners of Wayne county, Michi-
gan, and known as the grand
father of concrete roads in Amer

tion's greatest highway need is the
immediate requirement Of wider
rights-of.way and the widening Of
all main pavement arteries.
He was guest OF honor at q meet
Ing attended by local highway
leaders and sponsored by the Chi
cago Regional Planning A.ssocia-
ton.
Hines built the first concrete
road in the country just outside
of Detroit in 1909 and this road
has been continuously in service
for Is years. At that time con-
crete had been used sparingly for
city streets but not for rural roads,
and there were barely SO miles or

Hines said. It is claimed that

The 204-foot width of right.of.
