New Plantings Join Old - The result of carefully merging new landscaping with huge existing trees is shown in this view of the front of Lurie Terrace, on Huron St. near Chapin, Ann Arbor's new apartment development for senior citizens. One of the first construction phases was the building of protective barriers around century-old pine and spruce trees. And this week, in one of the final steps of the project, sod, trees and shrubbery were put in place to supplement the stately evergreens.

'Newsboy' Makes Rounds - As dedicated as any newsboy (although older and a lot less boyish) is Mrs. Nellie Noble, shown on her Ann Arbor News route in Lurie Terrace. A grocery cart and the building elevator help ease the chore of delivering papers to 84 customers in the eight-story senior citizens housing project. Mrs. Noble, who is separated in age by more than half a century from the average newsboy -- she declined to reveal her exact age -- has been a resident of Ann Arbor since 1938 and live in Saline and North Dakota before that.
