She was a gracious queen, presiding over the joining of the Edsel Ford and the John C.

Lodge expressways. She was arrayed in swirls of glittering snow and sweeps of pale golden light from a January sun. Belle Isle is pretty, and the Civic Center on the riverfront is handsome. But for the first time her fans had a view of the warm, living heart of Detroit. Speeding over the crest of the Interchange between the two expressways, motorists eould see the skyscrapers downtown rising on the horizon like a fairyland.

They can see clouds drifting across their home town and feel the rising sun striking through their car windows. It was exciting Tuesday and kwesome. Everything looked different. For the first time thousands of motorists became aware that there were such places as Frank's Bar and Mollohan's Lunch. Thousands of peaceful little shops and neighborhood gathering places have burst into sight, snuggled along the slopes of the expressways.

So far there has been little formal decoration along the expressway. Not much is needed. The graceful curves of the freeway are enough. A plume of spray at the Lodge Expressway and Tuscola arched beside the speeding cars. Some workmen were flushing ont a hydrant there.

Then I realized I'd missed the boat. Not that this particular incident made a story.

It didn't. But the fact that so many DSR personnel hard driven, picked on by the public, reputed to be equipped with fangs the better to bite that same public should find time and patience for so many courteous deeds is a story worth telling.
