Future Plans
Held Valuable

Making plans for the future and
obtaining the right kind of an edu-
cation to insure success was the
subject of an informal talk TO
Cleary College students at this
mornings assembly by Dr.. George
E. Carrothers. director of the De-
partment of Inter-school Relation
at the University of Michigan.
Students WHO finish high school
and enter college are a superior
group" DR.. Carrothers said. only
about $1,000 out of the $4,000 high
school students who will graduate
this June in Michigan will continue
their education. Most OF the i'm
portant positions which are open o
young people in many fields Of en-
deavor will be filled later on by the
1000 in this selected group
Obtaining an education is more
rothers pointed out In order to
succeed one must have "a broad
training in English, history, sci
ence and related fields. as well as
knowledge of the skill subjects.
The best education is wasted, how
ever, Dr.. CaTothers said. unless
it provides the individual with the
ability TO be useful, the knowledge
OF how to be happy. and the ability
to live in harmony with others
The Importance OF thinking in
ones quieter moments of the kind
Of a position wanted in the future.
of making plans TO prepare for it,
and OF following through with these
plans in spite OF the difficulties en-
countered was stressed by DR.. Car
rothers in closing his talk Avoid
developing the harmful attitude of
self pity" Or. Carrothers warned
the students. Money is more
often a handicap than a help to
young people and there are more
people for you than against you
Ninety eight per cent Of the peo-
pie you will come in contact with
will be helpful, and you should for
get as quickly as possible about
the other two per cent il you want
to be happy and to succeed in your
work

day to vote $7.000.000.000 in cash
the largest single appropriation
since the World War-to put Ameri-
lean industrial and agricultural re-
sources behind the armies of Bril-
tain. Greece and China.
His request TO Congress was eX-
pected TO reveal more details of his
program of war aid in which day
by-day debate has given way to
action following
signing Of the lend-lease bill yes
terday.
Already Mr. Roosevelt has APP
proved immediate release OF certain
Army and Navy equipment to. the
British and the Greeks, with the
bulk of the equipment going TO
Britain
As part OF the program OF i'm
mediate aid contrasted TO the
more long range aspects Of the
$7,000000000 program usually
we'll informed sources reported that
flying fortresses," long distance
Army bombers, were prepared 10
take off for Britain. Possibly.
these sources suggested. some may
already be winging ACROSS the At.
landc.
Mr. Roosevelt merely said that
nothing had moved before he APP
proved the list at 3:5J p m. yes
terday. He guarded the specific
tented list as a military secret
that would be of value to the axis.
Administration sources limited
that quick delivery OF some equip
ment under the aid program was
desired by the President for the
psychological value TO the Brit
ish ana to show the ANS powers
that The United States means bust
Gcss in helping the democracies.
Other sources believed that in
addition TO flying fortresses the
list included naval patrol bombers
for British convoy duty. light tanks
and machine guns for tire Greek
campaign, and small craft such as
torpedo boats and patrol boats
Mr.. Roosevelt said the list was
not very extensive and that no
arrangements for repayment had
yet been made with Britain or
Greece
Some congressman believed that
a number OF cargo vessels. destroy
eFs- and. possibly. old battleships
and average cruisers might be re-
leased.
