These two fledgling birds (species undetermined) may be the exception to the general rule that orphaned birds "adopted" by humans seldom survive. The children of the Joseph C. Dixon family, 622 S. Seventh St., found the young birds Tuesday and have been caring for them since. And the birds are apparently thriving on a diet of dog food, baby foods, and other delectables. Pictured (left to right) are Erich Dixon, 2, Geoffrey, 3 1/2, and Charles, 9.

Forsythe Students Pack Milk Testing Kids. Fund Raising Aids Others. What started out as a fund raising project for the Forsythe Intermediate School French Club has turned out to be a community service project as well. The Club is packing kits for the Environmental Research Group which nursing mothers can use to test for PBB in their milk. The kids contain a bottle for a milk sample, a styrofoam box to protect the bottle from breakage and labels to identify the mother. The samples then go to the county health department for analysis. So far the French Club has earned over $130 to be applied to a Montreal trip in May. Thirty-five club members and eight chaperons will practice their French in the city's stores and restaurants. Expenses for the trip are expected to run about $3,500 and the remainder of the money will be raised in more conventional ways - candy sales, car washes and bake sales.

Urania, a way-point on the Ann Arbor Railroad in York township, doesn't appear on a map and few trains stop there. Its railroad station is small - one room, in fact. There is no station agent and not even a timetable of freight schedules to be had. Nor does Urania's station even have a sign. But at Urania the Ann Arbor's customary single track splits into two, the second a siding on which long strings of freight cars sometimes are halted to unload supplies for Ypsilanti State Hospital, just a short distance to the east. Urania and its one-room unoccupied railroad station are located along Willis Rd. at its intersection with the Ann Arbor Railroad.

Alfred White, 15-year-old boy living at 906 Packard, was the happiest boy in Ann Arbor Saturday night. For Alfred was crowned champion of the Ann Arbor Soap Box Derby and will represent Ann Arbor in the All-American finals at Akron, O., on Aug. 11. Alfred not only got a big thrill out of winning the race and the title, but he also got a big kick out of receiving the M. E. Coyle trophy which was presented to him by Coach Fritz Crisler as shown in the above picture. He was so excited that he found it difficult to mumble thanks as the Wolverine coach made the presentation.
