I have never been in Ludington but am going on a vacation next year and if the shrine is completed by that time, I will plan my trip accordingly. "Jim Ludington," she continues, "founded Ludington and Harrison Ludington was Mayor of Milwaukee and later governor of Wisconsin, so you can see why I would like to come to Michigan.

Michigan Society Is Among Those Called for National Conference DETROIT, Dec.

Michigan Children's Aid society is busily engaged in perfecting Christmas plans for the 1,032 children under the care of the society, including its branches I and the home at St. Joseph. This year a Christmas letter sent to 7,000 friends throughout Michigan, calls attention to the difference between child care in the United States and the countries of Europe governed by dictators. The society is participating in the White House conference which will meet in Washington in January, 1940. The theme will be the methods of care and education of children in a country with free institutions.

Theodore Roosevelt when president called a White House conference to review the needs of children who were dependent and neglected. Similar conferences have been held at 10-year intervals since that time. The 1 conference in January will be the fourth. During the current year the Michigan Children's Aid society has provided more than 240,000 days' care in foster homes. This means that every day throughout 1939 there was an average of 660 children receiving such care.

Others were at the home in St. Joseph or supervised in their own homes. The society which was first organized at St. Joseph in 1891 will celebrate its semicentennial in 1941. During these 50 years a network of service has been developed to cover the entire state.
