EVENING NEWS. SAULT MARIE. MICHIGAN. FRIDAY. MARCH 5, 1937.

Open Forum Write of Alabama to His Friends in Sank and Stalwart Mobile, Ala. To the Editor: This is a letter of our trip from Stalwart, to Mobile, Ala. There are many who want me to write to them about our trip. I think this will satisfy them. We left Stalwart Wednesday morning, February 24, 1937, and traveled by way of Cedarville and Hessel to avoid water on the road to St.

Ignace. We had to wait for the ferry for two hours, as there was only oho boat to ferry automobiles to Mackinaw City. When we got across the Straits to Mackinaw City the boat had trouble making into the dock as it was heavily loaded with freight cars carrying- copper and the water SAYS VAN WAGONER DESERVES CONFIDENCE VOTE FROM THE CQUNTY To the Editor: I don't know how Chirjpewa county voted for State Highway Commissioner in the spring election four years ago, but I do know how Chippewa county should vote in regard to that office in the spring election this year. If any state official dese'rves a vote of confidence from this D. Van Wagoner does.

On the strength of his good work in arranging and carrying out the Ashmvm street bridge project he could expect the support of motorists in this area. But beyond that he has done much for which Sault residents owe him a vote of thanks. srry service at the Straits of Mackinac has never been as good as it has been under his administration. I understand, too, that he favors construction of the Mackinac Straits bridge. We need his good influence in an official capacity to help push this great project to completion.

It seems to me that Van Wagoner has established a pretty definite tourist policy for this department. The Sault with its famous locks stands to benefit from this policy. I have heard that he plans the construction of more information lodges on main entrance routes to state. He proposes to build one these in this community. I call that'the kind of'initiative that all of Michigan and particularly this section needs.

I am not a highway engineer, but I know that the Ashmun bridge is a long needed improvement. I also know what the tourist business means to Sault Ste. Marie and what good roads mean to the tourist business. I one, hope that the voters of Michigan know when they are well off and will re-elect Murray D. Van state highway commissioner.

This delayed our landing about half an hour. We got as far as South Bend, that night and stayed at the Jefferson Hotel. Thursday we left South Bend in a regular snow storm, but when he got to Plymouth, it cleared and we had fair weather the rest of the We passed through Louisville, and through the flood zone. We could not have believed it if we had not seen it with our eyes. We stopped at a filling station on the Indiana side of the Ohio river at Jefferson, and an attendant showed us a stop light over the center of the road intersection where he said the water was 10 feet higher than the light.

Leaving Louisville, we came to Bardstown, where we left US-31 for the mansion where the "Old Kentucky Home" was written. We went into the old smoke house where the walls were three feet thick. They used lo keep the slaves prisoners there sometimes. At Hpdgenville, near Lincoln's birthplace, we stayed overnight at a tourist cabin. In the morning we drove three miles to the log cabin where Lincoln, was born We crossed into Tennessee and as far as Birmingham, where we stayed overnight, in a tourist cabin.

The water pipes in the cabins had been frozen the night before. It rained all that night and was still raining- when we left there Saturday morning. It rained all the way and was pouring when we reached Mobile. We crossed the Cochrane bridge which is 10 miles long with two draws and that brought us into Mobile. We enjoyed very hour of the trip, the hilte of Kentucky and Tennessee and the winding roads through the mountains.

Our party was composed of Mrs. Crawford and myself, and Mr. and Mrs. Chester G. Crawford and daughter, Betty.

We expect to remain in Mobile for about 10 days and may make a trip to New Orleans before returning home. We were surprised to find so much cold weather on our way south. Wo found frost in every state and here in Mobile. We have fires in the stoves to keep warm, and we find our winter clothing quite comfortable, but the residents say that this is unusual weather 'for Mobile. 'We covered a distance -of 1,436 miles using 75 gallons of gasoline and one quart- of oil.

R. G. CRAWFORD. SAYSlEfOUR MEETINGLEGAL Herman Lehman Comments on Bay Controversy, DeTour, Michigan, March 3, 1037. To the Editor: The question relative to the closing of a portion of the Potagannis- sing Bay waters has, during the past year or so, created considerable dissension.

On December 30, 1036, a weH represented group of DeTour citizens met for the purpose of determining jtist what the concensus really was in regard" to this matter. This gathering of DeTour people was not, as has been insinuated, a hastily called meeting which was made known to only the commercial fishermen, but was, on the other hand very welt advertised. There were, it is true, a few fishermen who attended the meeting, but they were greatly out-numbered by individuals who were not in the fishing business. This group unanimously decided that it was necessary to close a portion of Potagannissing- Bay to commercial fishing in order that the game fish might be protected in their natural breeding grounds. A resolution was drawn up and presented to Representative Knox requesting that he use his influence in having the waters lying in Potagannissing Bay between Sims and Bruces Point, closed to commercial fishing, it was later learned that two DeTour men.

Rev. Theodore Bateski and Walter Durocher, had made a trip to Lansing in an effort to prevent the bill from passing: through the legislature. These men claimed to represent the DeTour Chamber of Page Five DICKIE DARE Trademark Hog-istered U. S. Patent Office Coulton Waugh CAPTAIN YAKOVAC.

Commerce as well as the DeTour village council and made it appear to some of the state legislators that the above mentioned organizations were not in favor of the bill as presented to Representative Knox. In order to clarify the matter it was found necessary for the Chamber of' Commerce as well as the village council to call a meeting. After calling the above mentioned meetings it was found that neither organization had authorized either Kather Bateski or Walter Durocher to represent them and as proof that such really was the case, each body sent a telegram to Representative Knox to that effect. On date of February 25 in the Open Forum section of The Evening News it was stated that Father Bateski calimed that both the Chamber of Commerce and the village council did not properly call their meetings matter. I note an item in the March 1 issue of The Evening News which was written by the secretary of the DeTour Chamber of Commerce.

This article very definitely states that the meeting as called by the Chamber of Commerce was legal, and even goes far enough to quote a section taken'from the bylaws explaining just what constitutes a legal meeting. As a member of the DeTour council, I wish to state thai the meeting held by that body was legal and properly called. Four members of the-village council were present at the meeting, this being the proper number to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. It certainly appears that certain individuals in the mad rush for personal power, have resorted to most any device in order to gain a selfish end. I personally feel that the public is entitled to know the truth relative to such matters as this and wish to state that anyone attempting to make the public believe that the meeting as held by the DeTour village council on date of February 18 relative to Pota- gannissing Bay, was not properly called, is either very badly informed or is resorting to a down right lie in order to gain a selfish end.
