PRIZE-WINNING HOME IS TAKEN FOR THE SEASON: James F. Calhoon, eight-year-old son of Prof. and Mrs. F. N. Calhoon of Liberty Rd. is inspecting the progress of the first occupants of his bird house in a moment of their absence. The house won for him second place in his age group in a state-wide contest. More than 2,500 houses were entered in the contest, and the shelters were placed on exhibition at the Michigan Flower show in Detroit this spring. James competed with boys up to 10 years of age. A pair of bluebirds has taken up residence in the house which has been placed high in a blossoming apple tree at the Calhoon home.
