winged ally in this, Us i'll many past

This ally does not have the ferocity
of the great American eagle. 1t is
more often associated with peace and
peaceful pursuits, but even these can
be turned into vital wartime occu-

More than 100 hOming pigeons were
turned over last week by the Wyan-

the local Office Of Civilian Defense.
Among this group of pigeons are

The Amateur Skating Union has

We should give your city first choice
to stage same This is one of the larg-
est skating events held in the United
States and with the support Of the
city could make this event real sue
cess.
The cost Of staging this event
would be about $1,000. Seven hundred
dollars would be for skaters expenses,
sanction fee $50, and $3.50 for medals
and trophies. We could figure at least
20 to 100 skaters from outside Michi-
gan. Entries would come from New
York City, New England states, New
Jersey, Washington, ID. c., Buffalo,
Cleveland, Chicago, st. Louis, Mil
waukee, Minneapolis, Cedar Rapids,

champions from Winnepeg, Canada.
