Waiting For A Good Ann Arbor Neighbor We all are good neighbors in Ann Arbor and this appealing little girl who is waiting for help from one of the Community Fund agencies will not be disappointed if Ann Arbor's good neighbors get behind the Community Fund campaign. It will begin with dinner at the Michigan Union next Tuesday night. Ann Arbor residents are known for their willingness to lend a helping hand and the agencies which are united under the Community fund banner are thoroughly capable in solving the problems of the less fortunate. These agencies include the Family Welfare Bureau, Michigan Children's Aid Society, Social Service Exchange, Dunbar Community center, Maternal Health clinic, Old Ladies Home, Boy Scout council, Public Health Nurses, Salvation Army, Young Men's Christian association and Young Women's Christian association. So be a Good Neighbor.

For A Better, Happier Ann Arbor Useful training and wholesome fun go together in the activities of the YWCA, where girls and young women lay the foundation sound, progressive, healthful, cheerful lives. These members of the girl reserves are having a jolly time paring apples for apple jelly which they will sell to obtain money to pay their way to summer camp next year. The annual outings are held at Camp Takona, on Clear Lake. Anything that makes life in Ann Arbor better and happier for any considerable group in the community -- particularly a group in need of neighborly friendliness, neighborly sociability, neighborly interest of the helpful sort, or neighborly direct aid in time of emergency -- contributes to making this a better and happier dwelling place for us all. That is why we all in AnnArbor have a direct concern in the raising of the community fund. That is why the appeal for contributions in the annual campaign now under way goes to all residents, those who have much, those who are comfortable well-off, and those who have comparatively little in material goods but who are so rich in the goods of the spirit that they are willing to share something of their material worth with those who have less. Eleven agencies, each of which is doing a necessary work aiming to promote the welfare of some of our neighbors, are included in the Community Fund. A contribution gives the donor a share in their efforts to alleviate distress or want, to adjust problems, to build lives that are more worth the living. The Young Women's Christian Association is one of the eleven. It works with and for girls and women. It promotes their social welfare, their economic welfare, their cultural welfare, their physical welfare, their spiritual welfare. It has educational and recreation classes for the Girl Reserves, for business girls, for industrial girls, for domestics, for home girls and for boarding girls. It maintains the Travelers' Aid Society. it has a small boarding home in connection with the YWCA building. It operates the summer camp for girls Lake Takona at Clear Lake.

When Neighborly Help Is Needed Wise counsel and the thoughtful solving of problems with the aid of the Family Welfare worker often return troubled individuals and home groups to the ways of happiness and material wellbeing. Human needs often go beyond the physical needs. And help in solving the greater human needs often removes the cause of the physical needs. This is the thought behind the constructive work being done in Ann Arbor by the Family Welfare Association. The Family Welfare is not satisfied with giving material relief that may be of only temporary benefit, it seeks to bring about conditions that will restore and preserve the happiness and well being of individuals and of homes. It offers counsel, and neighborly assistance, and emergency succor to those in trouble. Through its workers and its functions, the good-willed people of Ann Arbor can be good neighbors to many distressed persons, young and old, who ordinarily would not come within the orbits of their daily lives. The Family Welfare is one of the 11 local agencies supported or helped by the Community Fund, contributions to which are being solicited this week. All 11 are doing worthy work in Ann Arbor. All deserve the support of those who would be "good neighbors."

ADDING TO THE BRIGHTNESS OF LIFE Sunbeams are the Girl Scouts of the Salvation Army. Here they are at one of their meetings. Among the activities supported in part or whole by the Community fund is the relief, social, and character-building work of the Salvation Army in Ann Arbor. The Army looks after needy transients. It provides them with lodging, food, clothing, and other assistance as demanded by circumstances. The Sunbeams are youngsters from 8 to 11 years of age, who meet regularly, received useful training, do worthy work, and have a good time under wholesome auspices. The general Community Fund solicitation will be in full swing next week when all Ann Arbor residents who are interested in the welfare of their neighbors and of the community as a whole will be given an opportunity to contribute.

When Two First Ladies Meet: What Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, first lady of the land, and Mrs. Alexander G. Ruthven, first lady of the University, had to say to each other while chatting together when the above photograph was taken was not reported but their expressions indicate that with womanly proclivity for "breaking the ice" they were absorbed in an animated discussion amusing to both. Mrs. Roosevelt is the guest of the Ruthvens while in Ann Arbor today to deliver a lecture.
