The army ar heads would say
onIv for the time being that two
alternate plans are under consid-
Grafton. These are:
THE original plan under
L which Consolidated Aircraft

the Ford company 50 that both
concerns would he engaged in
making parts of the B-2i, a ~
ton four-motOred bomber. These
planes would be finally as
Sembled at the new plant being
hpiit at Fort Worth, Tex.
0-The new plan-reportedly
favored by the Ford COM
pany-that il be allowed to
make all the parts itself and as
semble them in Michigan. This,
according to some officers, would
he a step toward mass produce
ton by the Ford concern.
Procurement officers said they
tiid not anticipate any further
snaes in contracts to Ford because
of labor policies. The company

In addition to the new Metropolitan,
Pontiac's De Luxe series now includes the
4-door 6-window Sedan;t the Sedan Coupe
the 2-door Sedan; the Business Coupe
and the smart Convertible Sedan Coupe.
All six of these lowest-priced Pontiacs
offer the sound, time-tried engineering
principles which have won Pontiac such
an excellent reputation for riding COM
fort. handling ease and long. trouble-free
service. And all of them are exceptionally
economical to own and drive.
Plan to see the Metropolitan Sedan-as
well as the other Pontiac "Torpedoes"
which are offered in a wide range of
prices. Ind remember fbafJyOa can afford

always had been the aim Of school
officials to grant such an increase
but that it had been prevented cy
lack of funds.
On the basis Of the present
salary schedule it would cost well
over S1,200,000 a year to grant
such an increase.
Al present the base pay for an
elementary teacher is S2.400 d
year. for an intermediate and high
school teacher $500 a year
However, several hundred ele-
mentary teachers receive 81 600 a
year or less. and 864 intermediate
and high school teachers have
special titles such as department
head or first assistant" which
give them pay of from $1,000 10
So, 800 a year.
The board asked its building
department to reject plans for a
$4,000 addition TO the Wayne
University engineering college and
redraft them to scale that
would not result in a cost Of over
SGT 900.

The public lighting commission
today was ordered by Common
Council to submit a bid for the
Matthews parking meter which
will be assembled by the lighting

can be installed for about one-half
the cost of other meters.
Bids from four meter companies
will be submitted at the same
time as the public lighting COM
mission bid and the council will
select the lowest.
1t is expected the Matthews bid
will be low because the meter
has been developed by George
Matthews. Detroit Edison Com

bled by the lighting commission.

Religious instruction has been
given in many Detroit public
schools since last September. DR..
Frank Cody. superintendent of
schools. revealed today.
Detroit's religious training, how
ever, differs from that which the
New York City Board of Educa-
ton has just instituted. In New
York one school hour each day is
given over TO religious instruction
as part of the regular curriculum.
In Detroit the classes are held
after regular school hours and
attendance is purely voluntary.
AFTER SCHOOL HOURS
with the cooperation OF
virtually all the religious bodies
in the city, we are offering
classes I'm religious instruction
after school hours to children
whose parents have made a re-
quest" Doctor Cody said.
Herman Browe, assistant super
intendent in charge of elementary
schools. added:
"Within a couple OF days We
are opening classes after school
hours In Coolidge High School.

hundred children attending. The

competent to teach"

Governor Backs
Norton S Plan

LANSING. Feb. 5.-An admin
istration bill designed TO correct
fruits in administering aid TO
crippled children will be intro
duced soon. Governor Van Wag-
oner announced today.
He said a plan had been sub
mitted by William j. Norton, di-
rector of the Children'S Fund of
Michigan, which would give only
certain hospitals the right TO treat
afflicted and crippled children.
This Is Norton's idea" the
governor said. HE would divide
the state into areas, having one
hospital i'm each area under the
direct supervision of the Univer-
sity Hospital at Ann Arbor. This
would enable the state to con-
troll expenditures more carefully
and see that children are better
taken care Of"

Best of all, the commission
promises that in its next examina-
ton ii will ask the same type OF
questions that every one failed De-
cember 20. However. it hopes for
better results this time.
TYPICAL CITY
In it's examination of Brewer
and the other applicants for the
post of general manager of the de-
partment of parks and recreation,
the Civil Service Commission Gre
ated a typical" city of 1900, 900
population. This city covered 125
square miles, had some 5000 parks
of assorted sizes and gave the gen.
eral impression Of being Detroit.
The commission then told each
applicant to imagine himself at
the head of this city's park system
and gave him four hours to write
out his opinions on the four prob
lens:
1.-The proper relationship be-
tween the parks and recrea-
ton commission and the general
