SWIFT RUN DRAIN: Costing $228,000, work on the Swift Run Drain in Pittsfield township has started. The drain pipes will replace the open drain shown in the picture. Serving two-thirds of Pittsfield Village, Pittsfield Park and all of the township east of US-23 between Packard Rd. and Washtenaw Ave. and Oak Park and Washtenaw Heights Subdivisions north of the Central Ave., the drain will connect with the Ann Arbor trunkline near Hogback Rd. and Huron River Dr. The Ginno Innai Construction Co. of Dearborn is doing the work, financed by a 20-year bond issue. The picture was taken between Pittsfield Park and US-23.

Model of Children's Home: The model (above) is not a new subdivision but a children's village that the Protestant Youth Organization of Detroit proposes to build in Ypsilanti township. A long-range project, PYO expects to build a cottage at a time, starting the first one next spring. Road across front is Huron River Dr. Cottages for children are situated around inverted U-shaped drive, with chapel and administrative building near front. School is at far left, farm at right. Large white areas are yards for cattle and hogs and poultry. Ralph W. Hammett of Ann Arbor is the architect.
