Northern Michigan, Wisconsin Trip As Related by Mrs. R. G. Jefferies

After a Long Week of Traveling Mrs. R. G. J e f f e r i e s wr i tes of he r t r ip th rough Nor the rn Michi-

gan, Canada, and the Dells of Wisconsin, giving impressions she gleaned last week on he r brief tour.

Leaving Lowell Sunday, June 14, about 2 P.M.. In company with Richard and Evogena Lester we arr ived af T h e S t r a i t s about 6:00 which w a s about as f a r as we had Intended to go, but It was a very nice evening and so we pro-ceeded to cross to St. Ignace.

In crossing the S t r a i t s we no-ticed 3 la rge barges down s t ream which seemed lo be t ak ing sand f rom the bottom of t h e L a k e and put t ing It on ei ther side, appear-ing to b e fill ing in f o r some dis-tance back. This w a s In the vi-cinity of the location of the pro-posed new bridge. Could this mean they may be work ing on the approaches fo r the bridge across t h e S t ra i t s?

Mrs. Frances J e f f e r i e s

In m y humble opinion the bridge should be buil t across the Strai ts , the sooner t h e better. T h e Upper and Lower peninsulas should be more closely cemented together . I In terpreted f r o m this visit t h a t these people do not feel themselves a par t of Michigan, but a separa te state.

Ne i the r Dick nor I had ever been to the Soo, a s a m a t t e r of fact , t h e last t ime I was in the U.P. was In 1928; Evogena said It was 20 yea r s ago t h a t s h e attend-ed a teachers ' convent ion a t the Soo. So, we all found It new. In-te res t ing and beau t i fu l Indeed. Apple blossoms, iris, tulips, lilacs and all t h e o ther sp r ing f lowers were a t the i r best, r emind ing us that Sp r ing is he re aga in .

W e a r r ived a t t h e Soo around 9:30. secured a cabin, and were ready f o r a good sleep. T h e Lions Club were convent i 'mlng at Mack inaw and the Rota ry at the Soo.

Locks Well Guarded

We visited t h e Locks, r a t he r we looked f rom a good distance th rough a high w i r e fence and barbed-wire en tanglements . All gates w e r e securely locked and guarded by our soldiers. One could readi ly see t h e necessity f o r caut ion, so noth ing should hap-pen to stop t r a f f i c of s t raget ic mater ia l s . On the Canadian side w e could go to t h e ve ry edge and wa tch t h e boats going through. W h y no precaution he re?

We noticed a boat s tar t ing t h rough reminding us of history book pictures, and f rom its name and f l a g we discovered It to be G e r m a n . T h e m e n on the ground ta lked to tne men on ship who spoke very good English. They said they had b rough t a load of steel t o Detroit, a n d were going to F o r t Williams, Canada, fo r a load of f lour. On top deck were several cases of coca cola and we were a little surpr ised, wonder-ing If t h e GI Joes had changed

t h e Germans ' taste. Back to t h e USA and on t h e way to Manis-tlque, we s tayed wi th Mr. a n d Mrs. Wedell, Evogena ' i sister, a n d a t tended t h e reception fo r Mrs. Hl ldre th Taylor , Grand Electa of the G r a n d Chap te r of Michigan O.E.S. In t h e evening.

Nex t m o r n i n g It was raining, and as Dick a n d Evogena w e r e suf fe r ing f r o m colds they decided to r ema in a t Mantlslque. W e had planned on going on to Iron-wood to a t t end ano the r reception fo r Wm. G. Cloon, m e m b e r of the Ju r i sp rudence Commit tee of Grand Chapter , but be t te r k n o w n by T V viewers a s the m a n who was carr ied f r o m t h e floor of the Nat iona l Republ ican Convent ion last fal l a f t e r a hear t a t tack .

I wen t to Ironwood alone, a n d s tayed a t the home of Mrs. Mar-gare t Holmberg, widow, and mothe r of t h ree daughters . S h e operates a loan off ice which he r late husband had started.

T h e U.P. h a s one O.E.S. Dis-trict Association called "The Clo-ver land" composed of all counties with only one meeting a year , and known th rough Michigan O. E. S. as a very outs tanding Dis-trict.

Varied Types on T r i p

Thu r sday m o r n i n g I l e f t Iron-wood f o r Madison. Wisconsin. Many th ings took place o n th i s trip, some happy, some annoying, o thers wi th a touch of sadness. T h e i t was a n older couple going to t h e Universi ty of Madison to see the i r son get his Dr ' s deg ree ; they were proud and told each newcomer t h e i r mission. T h e y w e r e f r o m Superior , he being a n ex-pollceman. W h e n t h e bus stopped to c h a n g e d r ive r s t h e couple found an old-time f r i end f r o m the i r h o m e town and f o r t h e next two hours everyone in t h e bus k n e w who everyone w a s back in Superior , wha t t h e y did. the s t ree t t hey lived on. the i r business, w h e t h e r dead o r alive, t ne l r children, how many , w h a t t hey all did. If they h a d l e f t— w h e r e they h a d gone, t h e f a rms , etc. But to top It all o f f . they discussed t h e old prohibi t ion days, t h e lady known a s "Lou type" a n d so on, I w a s exhaust-ed. but not so t h e citizens of Su-perior. T h e y w e r e still go ing s trong.

T h e sad p a r t was a n e lder ly lady wi th plain clothing, good, not fancy, shoes unpolished, wi th a f e w s ta lks of Iris In a bag . S h e w a s headed f o r Madison to a t t end he r niece's wedding, a n d t h e br ide liked flowers. S h e w a s wor-r ied about wha t t h e condition of t h e iris would be when s h e ar-r ived a t t h e wedding. No t unt i l w e had gone more t h a n half t h e way did I realize h e r daugh-ter-in-law w a s r iding by herself n e a r e r the back, v e r y well dressed and ve ry unconcerned w h e n the older lady spoke of h e r so nicely. I fe l t badly as I su r mlsed she w a s being t a k e n a long not because s h e was wan ted , bu t because they had to.

I fe l t l ike m y head w a s on a pivot, a t t empt ing to t a k e in all t h e magni f i cen t scenery—beaut l f u l lakes, homes, wonder fu l f a r m s , f ine catt le. Of course ad-ver t i sements of cheese w e r e ve ry much pronounced, as well as the product " t ha t made Milwaukee famous ."

Wi th the i r many yea r s of ex-per ience a n d with a well founded reputa t ion f o r ge t t ing the job done proper ly and economically, this f i r m has won hundreds of f r i ends and satisfied cus tomers th roughout this local a rea .

was because of the graduat ion at the Universi ty of Wisconsin the n^xt day. My first v i s i t ' t o Mad Ison could very well be my last. At a n y rate, I re turned to the bus stat ion and Inquired about a place to stay a t the Dells tha t evening, and he replied "Sure lady, tha t ' s what they all have up there ." I found a nice room at a hotel, but I thought the poor night clerk would pass out when he saw me walking In at 1:30 A. M. Had a f ine sleep, and the next day took the boat tr ip to the Dells, a very beautiful sight that God and n a t u r e have wrought— well wor th the $2.50.

T h e r e was no place on planes f r o m Milwaukee to Grand Rap-ids, no one seemed to know about the boats e i ther , so when I ar-rived In Milwaukee I bought a ticket fo r Grand Rapids th rough Chicago by bus.

In Chicago at 9:00 P M., waited until 2:00 A. M. before boarding the o ther bus. You surely see s ights In a place like that . T h e stat ion was alr-condltioned as were the buses, so the intense heat was not felt so much. Peo-ple came In the re with hardly enough clothing to get by the law. Others wore overcoats, long coats like women wear, but the one tha t took the prize was a woman about 40 who shuff led th rough wear ing galoshes with lambs wool tops. S h e was so thin I don' t believe she was 3 inches, through. T h e r e was a colored m a n in working clothes, who walked by several times, each t ime his balance get t ing more un-steady. A f ine looking young man wear ing a big black Stetson, black glasses, brown sport coat and blege trousers, and light col-ored highly decorated cowboy boots, wandered aimlessly around unti l an Inebr ia te cornered h im In a long conversat ion.

Wi th ail this, and get t ing n e a r 1:30 and the long ride home, I went to the floor whe re the busses loaded. A very young lady come u p to m e and sof t ly ment ioned that she heard m e tell the red cap I was going to Grand Rapids. She was f rom Minne-sota and not used to t ravel ing alone, and wondered If, a s she was also bound f o r Grand Rap-Ids, she could come along wi th me. I was pleased to have he r company, and, so, to Grand Rap-ids. My companion was on he r way to Calvin College to a t t end s u m m e r school; I. to Lowell, and mighty glad to be back, wi th lots to r e m e m b e r f r o m a long week.

Wi th Mr .and Mrs. Pe t e r Miede-m a of Grand Rapids. In the Mled-e m a ' s car, they drove by way of S a m l a to Barrie , Ontar io whe re they joined Route 11 to Nor th Bay. Here they crossed Rou te 17, t h e east west h ighway f r o m Otta-wa to Ihe Soo, continued nor th a n d then west In a wide a rc t h ru Ccbalt . Cochrane, Hears t , and Long Lac to Nlpigon. and so. th rough Port Ar thur and For t Will iam to Duluth.

T h e party found 75% of the roads to be as good as Michigan's. T o w n s were few, nor th of Lake Superior , and gas s tat ions were sometimes one hundred miles a p a r t ; accommodations w e r e ade-quate . Staying at cabins over-night . they a t e lunch a t roadside tables and fished for p ike and wal l eye in the s t reams t h a t ran a long their way.

Largest Paper Mills in World

Mr. Scott commented on the ex-tenslveness of the hydro-electric development in the a rea ; praised t h e conservation laws a n d fire-prevention program. At Kapus-kas ing they s aw one of t h e larg-est paper mills in the world. Day-l igh t lasted until 11 p.m. a t Hears t , only 90 miles south of J a m e s Bay, and It was h e r e the t ravelers saw three moose. The re w a s very little agricul ture, pulp-wood being the chief product of t h e land.

Mrs. Scott thought the last half of the trip the more en joyab le because more scenic, w i th rocky slopes, waterfa l ls and lakes. Throughout the trip. Mr . Scott ta lked to guides, p lanning to re-t u rn to hunt moose In t h e fall, if t he hunting should b e opened to non residents. H e w a s very disappointed to learn f r o m a con-servation official, a t the end. tha t t h e r e will be no moose hunt ing f o r outsiders this year .

Still, he is closer to his goal t h a n last year, when s t a r t ing out to make the same explora tory t r ip , the Miedema's ca r b roks down at Sudbury, postponing the expedition. And perhaps next y e a r when h e wants to go again. Mr . Scott m a y get his moose.

I never give women cash be-cause they p re fe r something they can show and boast of like a mink coat or a diamond bracelet.

Terror in the afternoon You know how it is with a five-year-old boy when the afternoon is bright and warm and (

there's a whole world lo explore. To Denny, the ditch along the highway west of Royal Oak was a jungle path, and the culverts that ran with drainage water were so many caves that might be hiding treasure.

Then beside one culvert Denny's adven-ture was shattered. The water here was deeper than he knew and a slimy vise of mud sucked at him and closed around his knees. The jungle and the treasure disappeared and the trapped little boy stood terrified in the mud and screamed. And the fast traffic on South-field Road roared by, right above his head.

In time, a Michigan Bell car came along.

Il slowed down while the driver looked for a turn. Field Engineer G. B. Pritchard thought he heard a scream, then another. He stopped and got out. Then he looked down into the ditch . . .

A big boy like Denny Beaman doesn't cry for long. Soon he could tell Pritchard his name and the street he lived on . . . almost a mile and a half away.

"Bud" Pritchard has two youngsters of his own. so he knew how Denny's frantic mother felt when he delivered the shaken but brave little boy to her door.

In situations like this or in the everyday job of furnishing service, telephone people can be counted on to lend a helping hand.

There's onfy one answer...

Chevrolet trucks must be the best

y Z i

first

Fleet operators, farmers, independent truckers—truck users everywhere—

buy more Chevrolets than any other make. There can be only one reason

for that: Chevrolet trucks offer more of what you want.

As the official registration figures keep roll-ing in, they keep telling the same positive story about truck popularity and truck value: Again in 1953, for the twelfth straight pro-

duction year, truck buyers show a clear-cut and decisive preference for Chevrolet trucks.

If you're a truck user, this fact is mighty

important to you. Why? Wei', as you know, trucks are built and bought for just one reason—to do a job. So isn't it logical then that since Chevrolet trucks outsell all others, they must do a bet ter job at lower cost?

That's why it will pay you to stop in and see us before you buy your next truck.

Is it all r ight fo r our children to play with his; have him over for dinner, sit next to him In church, or work with him at the f ac to ry? IF H I S DOCTOR HAS RECOM MENDED H I S DISCHARGE FROM T H E T B HOSPITAL, give Mr. Jones a chance and he will be one of the best neighbors you have. He's one of Ihe few people you can IK? su re won't be passing on TB germs since he has had the disease and been cured. T h e most serious danger of Infection comes from the person who has T B but doesn't know It and f rom those who know they have It but won ' t follow doctor 's orders.

Mr. Jones learned In the TB hos-pital how to live so that he would never again break down wi th TB, never aga in be a d a n g e r to those around him. When you have him over fo r d inner he'll go home earl ier t han the rest of the crowd. He will be ex t ra ca re fu l about ge t t ing enough rest. These are some of the things in which public heal th nurses and social workers can give help, according to Blanche H. deKonlng, execu-tive secre tary of the Kent County Tuberculosis Society.

H e must stick to his " t ra in ing rules" as carefu l ly as an a th le te prepar ing f o r a big game. He sees his doctor f requent ly and has regu la r x-rays to m a k e sure that he Is In good health. T h e kind of work h e does and the kind of recreat ion he takes have been carefu l ly chosen so tha t they will not over tax his s t r eng th .

Mr. Jones has some real prob-lems tha t w e can help h im solve. Some people may be a f ra id of him and the re m a y be pre judice against him due to ignorance. He wants more than any th ing to be a good neighbor, a self-support-ing, useful member of the com-munity. W e can help by showing people tha t w e welcome him to the neighborhood and by encour-aging his e f f o r t s to live as he must to prevent a recur rence of the disease.
