HAS PLACE
 IN FORD'S MUSEUM
Famed Inventor We'll Represent
 ed-NeW England Town Planned

Detroit, Aug. 27 (UP)-Henry Ford himself says he doesn't know when the idea of his great museum and of the typical early village on- ginated It may have been an off, spring of the great friendship exist ing between Ford and Thomas Edi- son.
 In the Ford collection are the lit tie laboratories and shops of Eli son at Maple Park and Fort Mey the Clinton Inn near Saline as well as other historic structures he felt should be rescued and restored be fore they passed into oblivion.
 Ford has long realized the value to humanity of Edisons life iNc work. It was first from the cleo trcal wizard that he received cit couragement in his early efforts at making an automobile.
 McnIo Park Laboratory
 When Edison was paid 10000 for rights to his telegraph device sending two or more messages ea1h way simultaneously on single wire, he quit his job as a telegraph operator and opened his little h. boratory at Menlo Park in New Jersey where his greatest work was done. It was there the incandes- cent lamp was developed. Ford brought the Mcnlo Park laboratory i to Dearborn to become a center of interest in his village of history
 Other Edison relics also are there. such as Auntie Jordan's s boarding house, the first human iiV- l ing place lighted by electricity. Many of the original contents are presCrN cd in these buildings.
 At s p. m. next Oct. 21 the flrs' | half century will have gone Gy since Edison completed his first workable little light bulbs. Edison will come to Dearborn then, sit in his old chair, at his workbench of 50 years ago while every electric light in the world that can he reached will go dark for one min- ute. Then Edison will turn a tiny switch and the world will again burst forth in light as a demon stration of the meaning and power of his invention.
 Museum Buildings
 The museum group when com pleted will consist of five admits tration buildings connected by TT. cades to form a facade more thar 700 feet in length Rack of if WIl be the secondary group of building: consisting of school, auditorium and five connecting arcades 10 ;h' museum, a single building 500 f~c long by 450 feet in depth.

Another was that he failed to fulfill

determination and study of existing
conditions, trends and influences: for
the determination Of security for q
loan; the purchase or sole price; the
amount of insurance to be carried OF
paid in case Of loss; or for taxation
