Merrifield "10 Captain Wilcox declared a belief that more people come to the Sault each summer than to any other one resort place in Michigan. The magnet, of course, he said, is the famous SauA locks, visited dailv during July and August by an average of 2,500 outsiders. "You can readily understand their disappointment after traveling great distances, to find they cannot view the locks," Mr. Merrifield wrote. "This condition will create a hardship on our our hotels and in fact the entire community.

Merrifield suggested that tours be arranged, with soldier escort, every half hour or so from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. from June 15 to September 15.

This would give visitors sufficient time to at least nno boat enter thp Jocks and be locked through up or down. "We that the United States government would be interested in our problem and, if at all possible, help in its solution by arranging such a program," Merrifield wrote. "We trust you realize the tremendous importance of the tourists industry to us, and that you will g-ive your most serious consideration and that we hay have a favorable reply." If and when the government grants permission for tourists to visit the locks, the Chamber of Commerce plans to spread the news far and wide by news story and ad- vcrtiseainnt, it was staled at 1'ast night's meeting of the board of directors. inter-Lake Navigation on SI, I y's Event En(M Today, Inter-lake shipping came to a close here at 11 a. m.

Open letter to Mr. Piippo: Listen, just because President Roosevelt I changed Thanksgiving day is no i warrant for you messing up our winter. Who do you think you are, anyhow? If you don't hurry up and change your ways, you're going to have a good big portion of the Sault's population downright provoked with you. Right now our coal merchants don't the winter. It has been warmer than usual and their coaJ piles are quite high.

Our hockey fans don't like your winter. They have had to postpone games two or three times. If you can't give MS cold weather, at least see to it that the western Upper Peninsula has plenty so they can start training now. We have our artificial ice rink and don't have to worry. Sporting goods merchants don't like the wiiHcr.

They can't soil ski's and such, dt.spite the fact that they have some of thc niftiest winter outfits ever seen here. Skaters and snowshoe enthusiasts don't like your winter for the same reason. -But of course, father likes the weather. He pays the coal bills. And the deer in the woods and the pheasants and grouse like the winter.

The deer particularly are staying fat and sleek longer" than usual, and few more weeks of lbi kind of weather will give the 1D39 fawn crop a fine chance coming through intact.
