The immensity of Annikki's sorrow was some

Henry slapped her on the back and said,

The curtains parted, and Annikki stood there
in her red and blue striped Finnish dress, the
colors muted as though the light were fading
her face as white as the starched ruftie on her
cap. Tears still rolled down her cheeks, plopped
onto the gaudy accordion.

DEBATE PAVING
Of SINGLE BLOCK
N PERRY PLACE

The Council Tuesday night devoted
considerable time to a discussion that
involved the paving Of a single block
or perhaps only in front of single
lot, in Perry place.
The subject came up in the receipt
of a petition for, the paving of the
street for one block east of Third
street The balance Of the street had
previously been provided for.
Following the usual course in recent
months, Councilman George c. Benin
offered a resolution filing the petition
for consideration in 1910.
Councilman Ford Wagar pleaded for
action this year, stating the deplOr-
able condition of the street, and the
fact that the owner of the only house
iG the bblck was ready to pay his pOr-
ton of the cost at once. He thought
that 80 feet of pavement could be laid
if it was not thought advisable 70
pave the entire block this fall
Councilman Belun. who fathered the
resolution to lay the project over until
next year. said he wils in sympathy
with Councilman Wagner'S idea, but
that it would be unjust to property
owners whose paving is in the present
years program.
City Engineer +. w. Liddle said it
would be inadviSable TO pave in front
of a single lot. and that he never
knew Of such a thing being done. Fur
Their. if the paving is done by special
assessment, the time is too short for
such q procedure this year.
Finally. Councilman Benin expressed
his willingness to have the matter car
ried over for n week.

New Organization
Hears Address

The newly formed Down River So
cial Workers and Nurses club met
Thursday noon of last week at the
Wabeek tea room and heard an inter-
eStlng discussion of Community Or
ganiZation for Social Welfare" by Ar
thur Durham of the University OF
Michigan graduate school of social
work
Mr. Durham defined community or
ganiZatiOn as "a type Of social work
concerned with efforts TO direct social
resources effectively toward the speci-
nc total welfare needs Of any geOgraph-
ical area. It's performance may involve
such activities as fact finding, cOordin-
alton, improving standards, interpre-
tatiOn. developing welfare programs,
changing patterns of social work, and
promoting social legislation. In general
IL is the continuous process Of adapt
ing the available resources TO meet
the changing welfare needs"
Mr. Durham pointed out that the
first step in developing a better CO.
ordinated program of service Is to
discover the needs of the area and to
have available information concerning
all Of the agencies and organizations
doing health and welfare work in the
area.
Miss Lucille Brown, president Of the
club, expressed the hope that at the
next meeting the 80 members, repre-
senting both public and private agen-
cies, would come prepared to discuss
plans for improving the coordination
Of the existing social services in the
down river community.

SAFETY
Of OLD CENTRAL
FIRE station

Some months ago, the Recrea ton
Commission petitiOned the Council for
permission 10 use the old central fire
station at Biddle avenue and Elm
street for recreation purposes. The pc
titlOn has been held in allegiance ever
since.
At Tuesday nights meeting of the
Council. Mayor Pro Tenn. Louis BrOhl
suggested that some action be taken.
Councilman George c. Benin ex-
pressed the opinion that before the
young people Of the city were permit
ted to cOngregate in the old building,
assurance sho uld be had that the
structure was safe
councilman John J. Wagner said he
understood that one of the city depart
mentS wanted TO use the place for
storage Of equipment during the win
ter.
Being appealed to, City Engineer
F. w. Liddle recalled that two years
ago, after Investigation, he recon-
mended that no repairs be made to the
old structure, on the ground that it
could not be rendered safe by any rea-
s0nable expenditure Of money. 1t was,
In fact, dangerous building. He sug-
gested that an outside safety inspector
be called in to make report after
examination.
The Recreation Commissions re-
quest was thereupOn referred to the
Council" for further cogitatiOn.
Later in the session, resolution
was offered by Councilman George c.
Benin and adopted, aimed at finding
out whether repairs TO the old station
are advisable.
