LANSING, May 23.-The Senate
finance committee agreed early
today on S44,00O,o0o annual
school aid appropriation and de-
cided 10 report out eight other
spending bills which would throw
the budget $5,0OO,O0o out of bal
ance the first year Of the biennium
and 100000 the second.
The agreement came after rural
schoolmen descended on Governor
Van Wagoners office to make
sure he would keep his promise TO
veto any bill appropriating more
than SD, 100000.
Under the distribution formula
already approved by the Senate,
Detroit will realize only $500, 900
more than this year, although the
state increase will total 100000.

finance committee throws the
budget out of balance, there are

To obtain satisfactory results,

not. AS a matter of fact, they are
extremely worthwhile - many Of
them at leaSt-so cheer up, we're
not doomed to be dowdy.
In the meantime. those who
pride themselves on their fore

many silk stockings as they could.
From all reports this isn't much.
as the shops have limited supplies.
