DESTRUCTION FOR CONSTRUCTION: That's what a pile of rubble and wreckage means in Ann Arbor. In the foreground of this picture are the "ruins" of a House of God. But the careful hands of workmen pulled the edifice down, not the wanton violence of bombs pounding non-military objectives. And beyond the wall of the old church proudly stands the new, its roof pointing up to peaceful Ann Arbor skies. In Europe, this rubble would say "Bombers."
