Mackinac Isle Is
Being Proposed
For Federal Park
0utnost in Revolutionary
y War Has Long His
toric Record

MACKINAC ISLAND. Mich,
Oct. 7. (UP)-This historic island,
visited 270 years ago by rather
Marquette and prominent as
military outpost during the Amer
lean Revolution, may become a
national park.
Transfer of administration from
Michigan to the United States mas
been considered for several years
but the Mackinac Island state park
commission has taken no definite
action.
A year ago, Col. Roger NJ. An
drews, commission chairman, pro-
posed the change. Last August ne
conferred with Conrad l.. Wirtn'
national park service assistant d.
rector.
The island contains 1892 acres
and lies in Straits if Macklnac
which connects Lakes Michigan
and Huron and separates the
northern and southern penlnsulas
Of Michigan.
Each year thousands of tourists
from all parts of the nation VISIT
the island to enjoy it's hay fever
free climate. good fishing and 10
inspect Old Fort Mackinac, estab'
lished il 1880. ..... g,
If it were to become natlona'
park, it would be the second taken
over by the Federal government
from Michigan. Isle Royal, north
ernmost Great Lakes island in the
United States, was decided TO the
government in June, 1886.
The state conservation depart
ment so far has been silent on the
proposed Mackinac Island trans
fer. Some state officials, howevers,
contend that under national ad-
ministration more funds would be
available for publicizing with a
greater tourist trade as the result.
Others contend the state itself
should provide more money for
advertising and developing the
island, site of Gov. Frank Mur-
phy's Summer capital"
The islands history dates back
to 1884 when Jean Nicolet, sent
out from Quebec by Champ'aln
to discover a passage to Cathay,

Finally they gave him the job
of taking care of the horses which
pulled the .city's patrol wagons be-

S24OO Daily Said
Contributed to $50
A Week Campaign

NEW YORK, Oct. T. (UP).-
In an article in the current issue
of Golfers magazine concerning
+he California $3.50 every Thurs
dav" pension plan, Staff Writer
Va alter Davenport said that an OF
ficer of the organization estimat-
ed that old people were contri ,
buting $4,000 daily to promoters
Of the project. Co1;
Two hundred thousand Can,
forn;ans were said to have joined
tho movement, which is sponsor
ing State constitutional amend
ment 10 have the state pay S5o q
week in script to all unemployed
over so. Membership is increas-
inc 1000 a day. Dues are cent
a day. payable at the rate OF 81
cents each month in advance.
Davenport said that 2OO,0O0
copies of the movements Bible
cham and eggs for Californlans,,
have been sold at 25 cents each
and that $4,000 tiny liberty bells
insignia Of the organization have
been sol dat the same price.
Thousands who are not eligible
for the pension but who have de-
pendents plan to vote for the
amendment on the theory that 1T
NAV be a racket and maybe 1t
won't work for more than a cou-
pie of weeks, but that will be sou
more than ! ever got before for
one vote" Davenport said.
He estimated that under the
amendment $7S0,000,000 in script
would have to be paid out to $780,
600 persons in one year.
To forestall any possibility OF
having the pension amendment de-
clared unconstitutional, the pro-
moters have inserted a clause
stating that no injunction may be
issued against it and all other
contradictory sections Of the state
constitution and laws are thereby
repealed, Davenport said.

of berries and that at harvest time
close to 100 pickers, large percent
age of them women and children do
good for themselves and the boss as
well. I recall one family had last
year that made more than $1,000
per day average. This leads up to
the harvest problem.
Picking-It has always seemed to
me that local talent is overlooking
something strawberry time. Last
year for the first time I had some
town girls picking. AS remember
it they made about $500 day,
which isn't anything big, but as one
girl said it made the big difference
between having a few new buds and
not having them. Several years ago
/ got the bright idea that we might
let school out so the kids could pick
berries. After taking it up with the
directors and principal, it was de-
cided that they couldn't afford to
turn the whole school out, but they
would excuse as many students as
cared to pick provided they were
well enough up on their grades. So
at the right time I appeared at the
school to get a truckload of pick
ers. Imagine my surprise when the
sum total of workers was three. Now
how are three workers going to sup
port 300. I'm going to let some good
politician figure that one out. Don't
me in this connect
ion because there seems to be an
unlimited supply of pickers in Yak
lima where fruit tramps winter.
There is about $4,000 paid out in
labor to harvest the Kennewick ber-
ry crop. That much money would
do a lot of business If it would stay
here. ....
