charging they were outnumbered
by the out-state representation
and that they should have reap
portionment as provided in the con.
stitution.
Rawson said, however. that he
was opposed TO confusing debate
with numerous amendments. and
preferred to strike a single-change
compromise with the metropolitan
delegation. Rep. Frank Calvert,
r.. Highland Park, said he was
considering offering as a substi-
tute bill, the measure prepared by
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton Eugene B. Elliott which now
is before the senate education COM
mittee.
Big city representatives tried
twice Thursday to amend The MEA
bill TO take approximately $4,000
from smaller districts and appor-
ton it among the larger ones. by
re-adjustment OF the allowance for
students favorable to the larger
school districts.
The first vote taken on the
proposed amendment, submitted
by Rep. Oscar G. Kilstrom, R.,
Grand Rapids. resulted in 1910
tie, killing the proposed change.
and second attempt was defeated
by one-vote margin.
Representatives also restored the

the defense program to defense
and to the most important civil.
liam needs in preference t. less
important uses.
Complete Surprise
Cox's amendment, which Stetti-
MUS said came as a complete
surprise" 10 him, provided that
the director OF priorities could
exercise his powers "orly after
the prior approval OF such exer-
else by the joint Army and Navy
munition board"
1t was that clause which drew
the fire Of defense officials, who
contended that it would reverse
the administration policy 10
maintain oYer,alllcontrol Of priori-
ties in the hands Of civilians.
While they conceded the justice
of vesting in the Army and Navy
munition board the right to make
priorities decisions affecting
Army and Navy orders, they said
it would be highly illogical for
the board to pass on cases inyoly-
ing vital civilian need. As an ex-
ample. they cited power compan-
les supplying current for traction
lines.
Another change which would be
effected by the Cox amendment
was the stipulation that the di-
rector of priorities be subject TO
Senate confirmation and that he
be paid annual compensation Of
$4,000 Stettinius is now serving
as director at $1-a-year Legisla-
ture experts said that under the
Cox amendment the director of
priorities would function indie

Gymnastics for adults are also in
cluded in the weekly program. The
biggest problem presented by Mr..
Beatty was the lack OF assistants.
He proposed that a man and wom-
and be hired for $40 each a week to
assist him.
Prospect school does not have
available for school play is a large
room now in charge OF Miss Olive
Adams, principal, in which it is
necessary that glasses be held,
Dan Muntean pointed out. Mr..
Muntean suggested that parents
be organized in groups OF three or
four TO pool their recreational ia
cilities in back yard playground
on vacant lot. Street dances, in
which police assist in roping off
areas and local light companies
light the street were suggested.
Excursions to places OF interest
in Detroit, Ann Arbor and Ypsi-
lanu were proposed. Spring and
fall does not present such a prob
lem to Prospect district as sports
are available out of doors, said Mr..
Muntean. Cub Scouts are also &C.
tive in this area. Programs. for
girls and lack OF leadership help
ers were the problems voiced by
Mr. Muntean.
Following the speakers. an open
forum was held with members dis
cussing the relation OF Juvenile de-
linquency, health and safety to rec
reation An interesting point
brought out in the discussion was
that children are not delinquent
but the parents, by failure to pro-
vide play for their children, are.
