Elven "$" Signs To Go! When Laddie Ann Arbor and Lassie County mark up 11 more "$" signs on the Cross, Washtenaw County will be over the top in its Red Cross drive. Today we had only $20,945 to go to reach our quota of $92,500. Each "$" sign represents $2,000. Ann Arbor today reported a total of $49,387 turned in to headquarters. That's 80 per cent of the city's $61,500 quota. Six more "$" signs will finish Laddie Ann Arbor's share of the Cross. Lassie County has 4 1/2 "$" signs still to go. Returns from Ypsilanti and the towns and rural districts of the county will have to come faster if Lassie County is to fill her space as quickly as Laddie Ann Arbor. Let's pass the quotas this week!

Two Pittsfield Park neighbors, the William G. Moores and Byron D. Abbetts of Yost Blvd., offer a study in living room contrasts. Almost identical in architectural design, the living rooms—as well as the rest of the dwelling—are decorated and furnished in opposing contrasting styles. The Moores' home (top) is furnished in Early American, the Abbetts' dwelling (bottom) is modern throughout. Interior color schemes help to set the two homes far apart in appearance.
