The end of World War II returned a large contingent of Army and Navy fliers to their Ann Arbor homes and helped boom private flying in this area. Here Richard Vreeland, 20, of 5885 Geddes Rd., who spent a year as an Army air cadet, is shown gassing up his plane at the Ann Arbor Airport. A small aviation enthusiast, his 11-year-old brother-in-law, David Black, of 252 N. Devonshire Rd., aids him in "topping off" a wing tank. Vreeland purchased the war surplus Army training ship a year ago and plans to fly it down to Cuba next winter, where he hopes to operate as a commercial pilot.

The three costumed figures above bear no resemblance to Mack School children, but that's who they are. All five children will take part in a spook house booth in the school's carnival from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. tomorrow at the school. Shown (from left to right) are Marcia Zill, Janice Rathburn, Jean Smith and Richard Vreeland, with Suzanne Gauss (behind Jean) holding "Spooks" sign. All are sixth graders in Mrs. Olga Goudy's class.
