One of the first signs that the westward expansion of Packard has become a reality with the razing of this turn-of-the-century house on the west side of S. Main at the present foot of Packard. The house was built by merchant Philip Bach - after whom a local elementary school is named - but has not served as a private home for years, having served as one of the first local fraternity houses, later as the sales office of the former Staebler-Kempf Oil Co., and most recently as a foreign car garage and showroom. Old gasoline pumps may be seen in the foreground.

A volunteer project to provide a gravel path for youngsters living in the Maple Park Public Housing Development near N. Maple and Dexter Rds. who attend Abbot School is scheduled for completion this weekend. Grading services were donated by the Washtenaw Asphalt Co. and parents and members of the community have done volunteer work to complete the path. The project, headed by Abbot Principal Don Lyon, resulted from a petition to the Board of Education from parents and the housing commission complaining about the three quarter of a mile walk to Abbot from the area.

Beyond the dressing area is the steam room (bottom) in which bathers bask in 160-degree steam blasts which come from the water dashed upon heated rocks in the barrel-stove (right), the lid of which is closed when fire is lighted. The hot water barrel is next to the stove. Below the window can be seen the cedar branch "switches" used by hardier devotees to drive the steam into their pores as they sit on the wide bench four or more feet off the floor.

In previous years, all the mothers were invited to take their pre-school children to visit the kindergarten on the same day. This year, however, mothers and their children are being invited to come one at a time or in groups of two. In this way the children are given a more natural opportunity to become acquainted with kindergarten activities. The children in the picture are Carol Jean Parr and Mrs. Sager's twin sons, Dudley (left) and Douglas (right).
