Thomas Acts AS Representative
FoI Monguagon township

Frances s. Thomas, Monguagon
township supervisor, is representing
the township in various meetings
throughout Wayne County in pro-
test of a proposed increase of land
assessments in the township by the
Wayne County Bureau of Taxation
At the meetings Thomas asks the
support of all out-county supervi-
Sors in his actions.
The proposal now under study.
land assessments in the business
sections of the township would
Jump from $50 to 500 per foot. In
residential areas, some land values
would double under the proposal
Thomas said, While Monguagon
townships land assessments have
been additionally low compared to
other parts of the country, l object
to the amount of the increases that
the county proposes" He further
stated, Il do not believe such in
creaSeS are justified and will not
agree with them on assessments
that the State Tax Commission will
not uphold"
Thomas has based his arguments
on facts revealed in a study of land
values in EcorSe township, where
land values were equalized in the
past few weeks by Bartel of the
Wayne County Tax Bureau. Land
adjustments in the township were
much lower than those made in
MOnguagon township.
In his talk at the meeting, Thorn
as said, THE township wishes to
pay its share toward county gov
eminent, but it can expect fair
treatment in the equalization.
Thomas will attend a meeting
of the State Tax Commission in
Lansing and investigate their YER
sion of the proposed increases.

For Cadet Nurse Aid

The controller general has ruled
that Gallinger Municipal Hospital
is eligible for funds under the Boil
ton Act for training of cadet nurses.
The United States Public Health
Service had informed the Commits
sieners last November that since

may not be approved for partici-
patton unless the Federal appro-
priation for the training of nurses
was made available for transfer and
consolidation with local appropria-
tions
In letter to Commissioner John
Russell Young, Controller General
Lindsay Warren said that Gallinger
was not Federal institution and
that there is not perceived any
objection to the participation of the
said hospital in the nurses training
program under the Bolton Act on
the same basis as any other non-
Federal institution
DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger acting
superintendent of Gallinger, said Is
to 80 cadet nurses were at the GAL
linger nurses school, but that they

0fChurches Discusses
Problems Of Veterans

How one community combined
forces to assist not only its return

ments was described at a one-day
conference sponsored yesterday by

men, labor and veterans organiza-
tions, churches and social agencies

$4,000 annually by September.
Want No Handouts.
The philosophy of the center, he
emphasized. is not to provide hand
outs" but to make veterans and
others feel the community welcomes
them and stands back of them in
what they might need.
Red tape is cut to the minimum,
he said, and visitor to the center
is put in immediate touch with the
Red Cross, State selective service
representative. vocational guidance

his problem may require. A typical
feature, he added, is the counselor
provided by the bankers of Bridge
port to offer advice to veterans on
GI loans.

luncheon and evening session de-
voted to "The Ministry of the Pro-
testant Church to Returning Serv-
icemen and Women" Sessions were
