Far fetched though it may
seem, Michigan can claim a share
in the Russians success against
the Nazis the past winter. Be-
cause in Michigan was developed
a little-known American inven-
ton used by the Russians, the
aeroSled.
The aeroSled, according TO the
magazine Science and Mechanics,
is a huge, white sled driven by
airplane propciiers. twas used

The air sleigh was first de-
signed by Chester b. Wing, civic
leader, pioneer auto dealer. avn
ator and former mayor OF st.

As far back as 1924, Russia OBJ
tanned plans and specifications
from Wing.
Wing had built the air sleds

mace and Mackinac Island and
for use by fishermen. The Rus
SLAMS developed their aerosleds

A Late Opening

.The general opening OF nariga'
IN on the Great Lakes was 2
Ttep closer as the ice breaking
ooat st. Marie fought ifs way
through the ice and was locked
through the 500 canal at 4:57
a. m. yesterday. This is nearly a
month later than a year ago when
the first boat was locked through
the 500 on March %.
Before the route 10 the iron ore
ranges on Lake Superior is finally
opened. however. the ice breakers
will have 10 smash n channel
through about 80 miles Of ice which
is packed al tho lower end Of Lake
Superior.
In 1912 navigation on the lakes
opened earlier than IN any previous
year. As a result a record of 90
600 600 tons Of iron ore were
'.rought down 70 the steel mills on
'1wer lake ports. This year tho
shipping goal is $4,000 900 tons.
Although more ore boats will be
available this year the handicap
imposed by the late start Of the
reason makes II highly question
able whether or not the goal can
,e realized. In 1912. ore shipments
for March and April totaled $751;
