Hitchhike Historians
800 WPA Writers Compile Facts About Michigan's
Past and Present for Unique Book

Approximately 800 amateur pen

and hungry. have been thumbing
rides up and down Michigan for
the last six years, asking questions
about the past and making notes
on the contemporary scene.
Today these tight-belted. thin
faced hitch-hikers have reached
one OF the highest OF the seven
heavens-they are authors OF a
published book.
Printed under auspices Of the
WPA writers project. the book is
titled Michigan" Its subtitle is

the subject of agriculture.

The Wayne County circuit
judges will not take an active
part in supporting bills now be-
fore the Legislature providing
salary increases and pensions.
Ira w. Jayne, presiding judge of
the court. said today.
AT the monthly meeting OF
the court we discussed the bills"
said Judge Jayne. I'VE agreed
that there should be some ad-
iuStment in the basic pay Of
circuit judges hut we will take
no definite action because the
bills are sponsored Out-state.
The judges would like q feasible

Judge Jayne said in many
counties of the state the only
compensation received by the
Judges is $1,000 annually paid by
the state. In Wayne County,
however. the county pays an
additional SS 500 TO the circuit
judges. The bill in Lansing would
increase the basic state pay $500
yearly.
