redit Lines ly GRACl KELLY Among other suggestions for improving Ludington, Mayor William A. Jefsen has emphasized need for tourist attractions. For more than 80 years, Pere Marquette Memorial Association has worked to publicize and mark in a highly dramatic way the location of the most outstanding historic event of this area. A shining cross, which marks the death- kite of the first known white man to visit here, is silhouetted against the sunset for those looking westward or brilliantly lighted by travelers approaching at night by ship the eastern short of Lake Michigan at Ludington. A Landmark This cross, within its landscaped park is a landmark, which has taken years of work by many individuals to establish in permanent attractive now maintained as a lighted memorial.

This monument is on the 'historic mile' (in reality several miles along the bluffs on South Lake Shore Drive) where Mason County Historical Society is restoring the first courthouse and has plans for marking sites of a number of other historic places. Woman's Literary Club, in co-operation with Mason County Historical Society, several years ago instituted the annual tour of historic homes. Great interest was evinced in the significance and appearance of homes on the various tours. unfortunately, last year to a one-day tour, circumscribing the opportunity for folk to enjoy the homes which were opened, the tour idea atrophied rather than expanding into a week-long attraction which it might well become. Outside Interest Those from away, summer residents and tourists, who have been fortunate enough to be in Ludington on tour days, have been heard to say that homes in Ludington are fully as noteworthy, beautiful and interesting asi those which they had seen in southern' towns where homes are open on alternating schedules throughout each annual tourist season.

Many historic homes remain which have not been included on tours and there are a few public buildings not yet demolishec which deserve attention for example, Mason County Courthouse has attained national repute in artist circles. Some business places have retained details of historic interest. Possibilities for enlarging the tour feature and also Mason County Historical Museum (with its room displays as well as other exhibits) are nuclei for enlarg ing tourist attractions simul taneously with educational em phasis on history of this immediate area.

During' a business session, conducted by Mrs. Flickinger, announcement was made that Study classes will begin at 9:30 a.m., Tuesday, May also of a mystic sale to be held April 10 at the church.

Vet- tergren, Mrs. Jacob Lunde, and Flickinger, hostess. Mason County Historical Society also has laid the groundwork for establishing an Indian museum and marking Indian trails throughout Mason County.

More man hours and more funds are needed for realization of the plans of the Historical Society. More publicity would bring the already established historical places to the attention of a larger, appreciative audience. Marked trails would provide interesting day-long excursions. Need For Natatorium In quite another field of attractions, with all the clamor for a swimming pool, other than private installations, there is need and opportunity for a commercial year-around natatorium. Swimming is a natural in lake country.

Cold weather curtails the swimming season so dras- for this area that a swimming mecca for tically warm, attractive pool would be a physical fitness fans and swimming parties. There would be increased opportunity for swimming classes and Instruction in life saving. A natatorium would seem to be an excellent prospect for an individual or group of business men-or perhaps a group of enthusiastic business women Elisabeth Circle Holds Meeting Elisabeth Circle of Emanuel Lutheran Church Women met recently at home of Mrs. Ernest Johnson, 611 E.

Plank, Robert Caswell Dexter Sprague, Gilbert and Referring to social and economic problems present in today's world and to efforts for worldwide peace, Mrs. Kidd stated that the Church and each ndividual can and must make further efforts to change the course of history. Each individual, in paying this high cost of iving, can expend his life by aying it down for others. In the literal sense, Mrs.

Kidd used as an example the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer who voluntarily returned from England to Germany to serve as a Christian eader to the German people during the reign of Nazism. He died in a prison camp three days before liberation by the Allies in World War II. Mrs. Kidd urged each individual to expend herself by always giving a "second mile" in relationship other people.
