ANN ARBOR AIRPORT PLOTTED IN MINIATURE: Based on plans issued by the State Board of Aeronautics, students in the School of Architecture and Design have completed a model of the proposed Ann Arbor airport, which has been plotted from aerial photographs. The 150 feet wide runways are built to scale on land that the city now owns, although the cluster of buildings at the far right have been constructed on the assumption that the city will buy another plot of ground. Now that the students have completed the model airport, their next assignment is to camouflage it so carefully that enemy bombers supposedly flying overhead would be unable to locate it.

EVERYTHING BUT WATER: Fourth graders in Mrs. Doris Bordine's room at Carpenter School inspect the paper mache model of a river, complete with bridges, that was made by the children during their study of the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway. A combination assembly and open house was held at the school today during which children and teachers from the school, parents, and pupils from Mrs. Eldora Brummet's fourth grade room at Dicken School visited the project. Children shown here are (left, front to rear) George Ralph, Elizabeth Phillips and William Beard, and (right, front to rear) Diane Bishop and John Hogan. Twenty-six children worked on the project.

Being pushed along, it doesn't look like much. It will suffer the further indignity of being shipped by moving van all across the country. But then it will emerge winged and proud and ready for glory in Hollywood. It's one of eight World War I Bristol F2B British fighter planes built at the Ann Arbor airport by Ypsilantian Vern Ohmert (right) for the movie "High Road to China." Six of the eight planes fly, the other two don't and will appear as wrecked dogfight victims. Ohmert will do much of the flying himself.
