RETURN FROM CHICAGO TRIP: The Easton school pupils' four-day stay in Chicago was worth a year of working for money to finance the trip, judging from the smiles they displayed last night upon their arrival home on the Twilight Limited. The pupils participated on the Town and Farm program Wednesday morning over the NBC network. They were guests of the Armour Meat Packing Co. at a luncheon and the Chicago Cubs at a baseball game during their stay. Those taking the vacation trip were: First row (left to right)--Erwin Trinkle, Marjorie Bradbury, Frances Pidd, Edwin Coy, and Erwin Pidd; second row--Mrs. James E. Davis, teacher at the school who accompanied the group, Betty Lou Bradbury, William Stoffer, Betty Jane Pidd, Audrey Coy and Charles Trinkle.

'SPOT' SERVES HIS MASTER WELL: Charles W. Spooner of 513 Elm St., a blind consulting engineer, has been guided for about a year now by "Spot," a Dalmation leader dog obtained through sponsorship of the Ann Arbor Lions Club. To aid blind persons, the Lions Club assists them in obtaining leader dogs and carries on an educational campaign about use of the white cane. Both state and city laws prohibit the use of white canes except by persons wholly or partially blind. The laws also require drivers and pedestrians to stop on approaching or coming into contact with a person carrying a white cane, and to take such precautions before proceeding as are necessary to avoid injury to the person with the white cane. To inform and remind people about these laws, the Lions Club, in co-operation with the city police department, is sponsoring "White Cane Week" this week.
