Ladies Literary Club Has
Program on Social Service

ton OF Social welfare was the
subject OF a most Informative talk
by Mrs. Esther Duston. director,
Ypsilauu council of Social Agen-
c!es. before the club in the after
noon. Mrs. Duston fully discussed

great war industry at the doorstep

heighten the many problems OF
youth which calls for the essential
need OF recreation, she pointed
out. There are always two lines OF
endeayOr in work Of this kind: Pri-
yate agencies and public agencies
she explained The private agencies
paved the way for the public agen-
cies by the method OF giving help,
The public agencies were able TO
give relief and maze things pos
slble for larger groups by taking
over some part Of the private agen-
cies. Ypsilanti has both OF these
agencies for which the community
has a local responsibility. Social
work began in individual charities
and, with the growth OF the city
grew into private service agencies.
Soon the need OF paid professional
workers as we'll as volunteer work
ers was realized. Many OF these
services have been taken over by
tax supported agencies.
THE work of the Council OF So
clal Agencies has been 10 organize
the function OF various agencies,
public and private, operating in
this community. Their aim has
been TO know and to inform them
selves Of the current conditions OF
the community. TO plan to meet the
needs. and to take action about
meeting the needs Of the commun-
ity..
The four divisions OF the Council
for this year are: Family and chill,
dren; health; youth guidance; anG
recreation"
Mrs. Duston explained some OF
the many needs Of the community
such as child care, nursing, place
for youth recreation. home keeping
service, and a loan closet OF medi.
cal supplies.

Army Flyers Deny They're Superstitious, But It's Dangerous 10 Brag Of Good Luck!

job at hand. old caps become relics of sentimentallty and woe betide the mechanis who mistakes one, though it is easily done. for grease rag.
 Most pilots will indignantly deny any superstitiotis gesture but one ex-cavalryman at Brooks Field. Tex, confessed that he pats the flank of each plane he boards. An- other touches a ring with his htumb before taxing to take-off position.
 The custom of giving Q dollar, the lucky buclI", to the first en- listed man who salutes a newly con1- nissioned officer, started at Brooks from Duncan Field.
 LUCK TALK IS TABOO
 One never talks of good luck in the Army Air Forces. One cadet kas llnmercifully pummeled by his classmates for relnarking that not one serious accident had oc- curretd in the 10-month training period of the class.
 An instructor, regulating air traf- fic from the control tower, men, toned with understandable pride that not one of his flying students htad suffered the slightest accident while under his tutelage. Immed- lately afterward, within 10 minutes, two students made "ground-loops, in landing.
 Sticking chewing gum on the wing or fuselage seems to be a bit of business from Hollywood. Acc tually, pilots are just as supersti- tious, or ais interpretations as anyone else. In other words they are perfectly normal-which, after all, is just the way the Air Forces wants them,
