DRILL FOR CONCERT TONIGHT: Music certainly has charms thinks an onlooker as he watches the 14 cellists of the massed string orchestra of 100 players recruited from Ann Arbor Public schools as they practice for the annual May Music Festival at 7:30 tonight in Hill auditorium. Forgotten are all the other intrigues of springtime as the young musicians concentrate on the things at hand, namely, a cello and a somewhat difficult composition.

Chicken dinners sell for 50 cents, while barbecue sandwiches are sold for 25 cents. 1,210 chicken dinners were sold along with 113 barbecue sandwiches. The average diner spent $1.18 on a meal, because beverages, cocktails and other food items were at regular prices. That's the good news. The bad news is that the Depression era prices were only good Monday.
