Before retiring in their tent the girls usually concentrated on comics for the pre-slumber period. After a steady grind at the stove they were usually tired and were only too glad to take their positions on mattresses on the ground within the tent. They liked the steak they cooked and the tin foil dinners. From left, Kristine Engberg, Sandra Wilbur and Terry Ann Garth.

Milada Vakosarljene of Ahmeek, right, was in charge of an unfamiliar occurrence, Sunday at the Homestead on the Calumet Waterworks Road. Here, three of four lambs are shown roasting over hardwood ashes in preparation for the afternoon picnic of St. John the Baptist Church, Calumet and Sacred Heart Church, Ahmeek parishes. Four other lambs were barbecued in ovens of Quality Bakery. The meat was prepared for baking Saturday in the packaging room of Steve Mihelich. Here are several of the group that gathered during the six hour barbecuing process. During the outdoor baking, the lambs were swabbed with salt water only, the result being meat of superb quality. Gabriel Chopp of Ahmeek, provided the lambs. [Several men gather around the barbecue pit.] Scanned: November 5, 2007 |

Houghton will soon have a boat landing site. Shown above is part of the equipment working on the plot at Houghton beach near the golf course. The Michigan Department of Conservation is performing the work on their own property. They were given an easement on the site of 300 feet of beach frontage in 1955. The area is broad with the avenue shown being only one of the approaches. The other is to the left.

Workmen of the Klatsky salvage firm are shown beginning the removal of the viaduct at the entrance to Lake Linden on M26. Decision to remove the Calumet and Hecla Inc. overpass was based on the disuse of the line in this particular area. The line has another route on the Hubbell side of the overpass. Removal of the old Calumet mill from the scene within the past two years has rendered the elevated route of no value. Safety factors are making for the Michigan Highway Department's decision to eliminate the narrow cement confines and to extend the roadway to between 30-40 feet after the concrete has been removed. Completion of the work is set for 90 days from Sept. 15. [Cranes and trucks are shown above the overpass beginning the process of removal.] Scanned: November 5, 2007 |

Election Night Blues |

Having finally arrived at the point where we can think of the primaries without shuddering we can look life in the eye again and publish a picture of the hard (and we do mean hard) realities of that long, long ordeal. The cartoon was scrawled hurriedly by Roger Honkanen in the midst of the action. The thinker is not really thinking at all. It is an act he has developed. He is sleeping.
