Racing May
Resume Soon
BY LEWIS II. WALTER

With the filing of an appeal
with the state supreme court
against Circuit Judge Miller's
anti-horse racing injunction, hopes
for resumption OF the sport here
soon have reached the head OF the
stretch.
Within two weeks the court is
expected TO decide whether it will
grant a stay in the case. II they
do, as they customarily do in such
cases, the Detroit race track and
Worthwhile Downs will be able to
throw open their gates imme-
diateiy.
Under such stay the horses
could run until the supreme court
makes the final decision in the
case, which is not expected until
late in the year. possibly next
winter. AS a result the way would
be open for racing all this season.

Honeymoon Haven
Returning Vets Boom
State S Winter Sports
BY GEORGE Il. VAN

Did you know that Michigan
has become the favorite winter
sports area for returning service
men who are taking their first
and second honeymoons?
Frank Davis of the Eastern
Michigan Tourist Association
Games up with this interesting
data.
The Michigan Winter Sports
Council has been reorangiZed.
This is made up of Ia communi-
ties. We figure an increase of at
least 20 per cent increase from
returning servicemen who plan 10
go north. on their honeymoons.
Most of the early winter sports
business is made up of men who
have just come out of service"
RESULT OF SURVEY
The Detroit Times recently
made a telegraphic survey which
indicates that Michigan is on its
way to being the leading winter
sports center of the nation.
From Escanaba in the upper
Detroit evening times., 1945-12-26

peninsula George Grenholm, rec
reation director. there writes:
Before the outbreak of the
war, numerous snow-trains
made scheduled runs from the
metropolitan centers Of Chicago,
Milwaukee, and Detroit to
winter sports centers such as
Alpena, Petosky, Grayling, and
in the Upper Peninsula to Esca-
naba, Ishpeming, Iron Mountain
and IrOnwOod.
CLUBS ASSIST
The impetus given TO the de-
velopment of facilities such as the
recent purchase of the Porcupine
Mountains by the state OF Mich
igan, the development of the area
by the Michigan Department of
Conservation and assisted by local
Winter Sports clubs, will give
Michigan one Of the finest winter
sports areas in the country.
Other areas which have been
developed for some years includes
the Observation-Disclosures area,
where Winter Sports parks &C
commodate thousands every
winter.
Michigan was one Of the orig
inators Of organized winter sports,
on an area wide basis. As early
as 1885, organized ski clubs were
formed in the Upper Peninsula.
and in Ishpeming the National
Ski Association was formed and
where annually the Ishpeming
Winter Sports Club holds its
annual ski meets on Washington s
birthday.
The full commercial value OF
the winter recreation has not
been fully realized as yet, but
with the increased developments
being added, son followers Of the
sport will Journey 10 Michigan,
as they do to California and
Florida.
