School Issue
of Here
to be Decided

Daniel H. Ellsworth. Pittsiield
Township Clerk. has received a pc
tltion from County school Commits
sioner Julius Haab. asking for
meeting OF the Ypsilanti Township
Board. the Pittsfield Township
Board, the Plat School board. and
the Carpenter school board. to con
slider a proposed change in school
DISTRICT areas. The clerk is required
to serve ten days notice of the
meeting.
The Plat school board seeks IS
acres OF Carpenter school District
before trying to obtain a federal
grant for a school building. II may
be possible TO obtain the grant
without the land. but school Off
Gals feel 1t would be impractical.
Motive for acquiring the land is the
problem of an estimated two hun
bred and fifty school children ex-
pected next fall when Pittsfield
Village is finished Both the Car
penter and Platt schools are over
crowded and the necessity for an
other school building is indicated.
Wilfred F. Clapp, State Depart
ment OF Public Instruction. who is
director OF the division OF School
Plant. met Thursday. with julius
Haab. and Charles Noble, who is in
terested in the village. They dis
cussed the school building situa
ton, Mr.. Haab reported.
Although the thirty-fiye acres OF
Carpenter School District land is
actually in Pittsfield Township.
since Carpenter School is a frac-
tional district 1t will be necessary
for both the Ypsilanti Township
board and the Pittsfield Township
board to meet, along with the two
school boards involved.

Senate Republicans today studied

Butter Will
Remain Short

Washington, Nov. 10 ms
Uncle Sam told civilians today that
the present butter shortage will
continue for the next few months"
despite the fact that the govern
ment has stopped its huge purchase
program until April /, 1914.
From the Office of War Infor-
nation came the statement that
most American housewives al
ready knew-that lowered milk
production has cut sharply into
butter production, leaving civilians
with about four pounds less per
year than they had before the war
Basing its conclusions on infor-
nation from the Office Of Price
and the War Food
Administration. sOWI pointed out
that prospects for further increas-
es in butter are not bright"
They depend owl said, "pri-
marily on increased production OF
milk and on greater diversion OF
cream into butter"
But with farm labor and feed
shortages facing the farmers, it
was explained, Authorities do not
agree on the outlook for an in
crease in milk production for 1914"
The federal government be
tween Feb. and Sept. 80 OF this
year, purchased ass million pounds
Of butter, enough to meet its full
needs for IL months" Owl de-
clared. mo purchases have been
made since September and none
will be made for war needs before
April /. 1944.'
BY purchasing butter. in peak
production periods, the govern
ment has sought to keep the civ
ilian butter supply at a stable level.
