The YooHoo boys of the United States army
have been forgiven and all is well with the discip-
lined battalion of the 10th quartermaster regiment
This incident drew more comment in the nation than
any other event in the armed forces. Even civilians
took part pro and con- and told the army what to
do. Discipline is most important in good army
and orders must be obeyed Maybe some of the
farer feel that they Disseminated against

Pupils TO Stage
Own Elections

But Before Going
to Vote They'll Send
Parents TO Polls
BY SHANNON CORMACK

TorenTs TO ronS
BY SHANNON CORMACK
Not to be outdone by their
elders. pupils in Detroit schools
today are preparing to vote next
Tuesday.
Records OF all the candidates
have been studied carefully by the
children, and Tuesday the pupils
will cast their ballots in their own
school elections.
But before they 60 TO school
next Tuesday morning, thousands
OF Detroit pupils are going to see
10 II that their parents go to the
polling booths. Many Of them. in
fact, are going TO take their faith
ers and mothers 10 the polling
places to be sure they vote.
FULFILLING PLEDGE
In this way they will carry out
the pledges they made in The De-
troit Times program to get out
the vote.
Voting at this election Is not a
complicated job as IL has been at
many elections in the past. Voters
will be called on to express their
choice for mayor, city clerk, city
treasurer. nine councilmen and
three charter amendments. The
ballots are small, in comparison to
the lengthy pages at some previous
elections.
The Detroit Times program has
not favored the candidacy of any
one running for Office. Its only
purpose has been TO bring home to
the voters of Detroit--through the
school children-that it is their
duty to 60 to the ballot next Tues
day and exercise the right Of fran
chise that is theirs by virtue of
their American citizenship.
100000 ELIGIBLEs
There are more than 700. 900
men and women in Detroit eligible
10 vote next Tuesday and OF this
number only one person in four
bothered to 20 TO the polls at the
primary election.
Detroits school children want
every one Of the eligible voters TO
do their duty next Tuesday and
cast their ballots for the men and
women they consider best fitted
for office.
The elementary schools are
solidly behind the Detroit Times
program 10 get out the vote next
Tuesday, and many OF the high
schools have joined In the crusade.
From Don Schiff Of 1919 Hart
well avenue, a student at Cooley
High School. comes this letter:
ITO the people Of Detroit:
Washington, II he were alive
today, would be asking you to
vote. And every true American
should note his ideals. The cry
Of the American revolutionist
was: Taxation without repre-
sentation Is tyranny They
have won for you the right TO
vote; which. indeed, IL . great
privilege In the world today. In
the time you spend ut the polls,
you are accomplishing what
Washington fought years for.
You privileged Americans
should not miss this golden
opportunity"

almost no precedent for such a
procedure in any other city coun-
Gil or commission throughout the
country. The only direct parallel
he said, was the Board or Educa-
ton, which does fill vacancies this
way.
The proposition a. IL will be
submitted gives the council the
option OF either filling the va
cancy by appointment or calling
q special election.
ut seems very doubtful to me
that In such n situation the
council would refrain from maxi

FIRST TO CRITICIZE

The persons who. through lack
OF interest or sheer carelessness,
neglect TO vote on election day are
oftentimes the ones who are first
TO criticize and this point is
emphasized by Nancy Huff. an
eighth grade pupil at Hally School.
Nancy writes:
There are . great many peo-
pie who do not take time to
vote on election day. Later they
complain about the way the city
IL run. IL II the duty of every
citizen 90 vote In order to show
his preference for candidates.

result that the wrong kind Of

freedom and liberties that we
now enjoy will be taken away
from u.s."

Circulation
Plan PassdgeOays With
Great Care

Circulation, or passageway from
one place to another in the home,
is a difficult matter which must
be given due consideration in the
planning of a house.
The living habits of the family
enter into this phase Of home
planning.
The modern practice OF placing
the kitchen in the front of the
house, near the entrance to the
street. is being increasingly ac-
cepted. BY placing the living
room in the rear and the kitchen
and entryway at the front of the
house. the working operations of
the house are confined to one
place and the living quarters to
another.
In many small homes, however,
entrance to the house is made
through the living room. The only
passageway from the kitchen to
the front door is through the living
room, so that, instead of being a
place OF relaxation, the living
room, or at least a part of it, be-
comes a thoroughfare.
Proper planning makes it pos
sible to move from one part of the
house to another without passing
through the living room.
