Many Enjoy
St. Michael's
Picnic Sunday
A crowd estimated between 3,-
000 and 3,500 was attracted to
Cowan Park for St. Michael's
picnic Sunday and without the
thundershower in the morning it
would have undoubtedly reached
4,000.
Of primary interest was, "Who
will take home the new Plym-
outh?" Mrs. Catherine Heurion of
Joy road was announced as that
fortunate individual.
The festivities started at 1 p.m.
and from then on it was a full
afternoon and evening for both
young and old alike. A carnival
atmosphere was provided by var-
ious concessions set up in the
park. One of the most popular
attractions was the modern and
old time dancing with the music
provided by a five piece orchestra.
Henry Smith, general chairman
for this huge undertaking, is to
be congratulated for the fine man-
ner in which the picnic was man-
aged.
Louis LeBar, Farrand Perry
and Charles Guideau had charge
of the First Aid station and only
one casualty was reported. Rob-
ert Portwood received a blow on
the head while setting up one of
the booths.

Whal's Burning?.
There were 119 fires in the
UnitedStates and Canada during
the month of May wherein the
fire loss Rvas more than $10,000.
This was over and above the 35
to 45 million dollar loss in Texas
City, Tex.
The ignition temperature of
gasoline vapors is 500 deg..F.
The ignition temperature of
Benzol vapors is 1000 deg. F.
The ignition temperature of
wood vapors, is between 4'00 and
500 deg. F. ,
The ignition temperature of

The heat from A MATCH is

When a match or spark gets
chummy with any of the above

to figure out that things are go-
ing to begin to happen about that
time . . . it can happen in hot
July just as well as cold Febru-
ary . . . it CAN HAPPEN TO
YOU.
Many fires are started by juven-
iles seeking excitement and
thrills. One of the basic causes of
"fire setting" by juveniles is lack
of proper home supervision by
parents. In many cases both par-
ents are employed and the child
or children are left to their own
recourses. The problem seems to
revolve around a lack of educa-
tion either at home or in school.
Parents should be interested in
knowing what causes fires and
what a fire hazard is when it pre-
sents itself. Many articles have
been published in this paper
covering various phases of fire
prevention and should -have been
read and absorbed by every par-
ent who read them and the know-
ledge passed on to and impressed
upon each child in the home.
Only by education can the ter-
rible picture of a home or peo-
ple burning be implanted on the
",mind of a child, who otherwise,

in a thoughtless moment might
take it into his head to start just
a little fire for the thrill of seeing
it burn or for the thrill of seeing
the fire department respond. All
large fires start from little fires
and when allowed to get out of
control by a panicky child it is
unbelieveable what tragedy may
result.
Now that the chilaren are out
of school parents should do there
very best to know what and where
the children are. Warn them
aboutplaying with matches, mak-
ing fires to cook on in the woods
or, behind a garage. A quick
change of the wind may alter the
whole complection of the situa-
tion and you may end up with
one or more badly burned chil-
dren with possibly. your garage
or home or both burned to the
ground.

To Broadcast Start
Of Mackinac Races
Arrangements have been com-
pleted for the exclusive short-
wave pickup broadcasting of the
start of the 23rd annual Mackinac
Race over WJR, Detroit, Satur-
day, July 12th. The program will
be broken into three segments
giving word descriptions of the
three starts, first for slow boats,
second for medium speed craft
and the final start for the fast
sailboats.
The broadcast will be handled
by Bud Mitchell and Don Chown
of the WJR staff. Chown, whose
hobby is boat designing, handled
the color for last years broad-
cast.
Again this year the WJR pro-
motion department will supply
all boats sailing in the event with
a special weather forecast chart
giving times of Lake Huron spe-
cial race weather forecasts to be
broadcast over the 50,000 watt
station, Saturday, July 12th, Sun-
day, July 13th, and Monday, July
14th. These c h a r is will have
spaces for sailors to mark in the
weather conditions and forecasts
as they tune to WJR, while the
race is in progress. These sched-
ules are furnished free of charge
and are prepared in cooperation
with the Bay View Yacht Club
and the Detroit Branch of the
United States Weather Bureau.
A recent innovation inserted
in the 1947 charts is the provision
for boaters to record the current
weather at Saginaw Bay area
and Alpena area as picked up via
wireless by the Weather Bureau
from Freighters passing that

Tent Returned
The Girl Scout tent that was
taken f r o in the Day Camp
grounds on Scout Hill in River-
side Park was returned several
days after it was taken. Whoever
took the tent must have got cold
feet and decided to return it to
the former owners. It was dis-
covered under a bush at the site
with the poles still missing. How-
ever, the Girl Scouts are happy
to have it -returned.

freezer makes your" meals so tasteful. It's
the economy angle, though, that makes
such a hit with farm wives. You save
money—with fewer trips to market—fewer
purchases of out -of -season foods. You save
time—with less marketing—less canning
and preserving.
Summer -fresh food the year round means
greater variety in meals—plus higher vita-
min content than is found in meats and
vegetables preserved by other methods.
The Home Service Advisor at your nearest
Edison office will be glad to give you the
details, and advise you about the home -
