Army Needs Arts

Liberal arts studies make q def

they are unnecessary during war.
Many do not realize their close con.

president of the Building Trades
Council OF Detroit.
He was successfully appointed

dent of the United Association of

was appointed by the Executive
Committee to finish out the unex-
pired term of General President
John Coefleld upon the latter's
death. He was elected to that office
in convention last September.
Since the death of his wife in
March, 1941, Mr.. Masterton had
lived at the Sixteenth street address.
