When hot weather comes, there's nothing as pleasant as a cool swim. And when you can take a dip in your own back yard, the prospect is even more pleasant. That is the line of reasoning which a few years ago prompted Mrs. Donal H. Haines of 1229 Traver Rd. to have the pool pictured above built in her back yard. The screen house at the far end serves as a sitting room when insects are bad and also is used by bathers for dressing.

Ann Arbor News, July 25, 1949
Caption
Washtenaw county offers few more beautiful scenes than the still waters of the Huron River, just below the Hudson Mills dam near N. Territorial Rd., a few hundred feet east of Dexter-Pinckney Rd. The original Hudson Mills were built in 1827 for sawing the lumber that went into the construction of pioneer Dexter township homes. Fire apparently destroyed the original mills, for history records a second building of Hudson Mills in 1846 for the manufacture of paper. Thomas Birkett, who acquired the Dover Mills in the mid-century, also gained control of the Hudson Mills about that time and operated the paper mill there.

CARP IN THE BATHTUB: There aren't many places in the average-sized apartment to stash a 33 1/2-inch, 19 pound carp for the day or so the fisherman might want to keep it around. But 13-year-old Jeff Cox, who lives in Trenton but has been visiting relatives at 803 E. Kingsley St. here, solved the problem by installing the big fish and a smaller one in the bathtub. Young Cox caught the lunker in the Huron River at Delhi Park, using a breadball for bait. It took him 30 minutes to net and beach the fish since he was using only an eight-pound-test line and a delicate fiber-glass pole.

This baby owl should be quite a wise old owl when it grows up, if going to school means anything to the bird family. It was found about two weeks ago on an Albion farm, apparently having fallen out of a tree. Brought to Ann Arbor by Mrs. Donald Abbott (left) of 939 Greenwood, it now is caged in Mrs. Abbott's room of fourth and fifth graders in Northside School. Joan E. Dolfin of 1507 Ottawa and James A. Grob of 1803 Upland are shown helping Waldo (nicknamed Wally by the students) with his studies. It is a great horned owl, about eight weeks old, and is fed raw beef kidney and pork liver.

Close Competition--Kim Moore, left, watches closely to be certain of staying inside a tightly marked serpentine course Sunday at the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority's Roadeo. A bus, below (this photo), is timed with radar by a sheriff's deputy to ensure that it keeps moving at least 20 miles an hour while skirting a line of barrels without striking any. The Roadeo's winner, with 570 of a possible 750 points, was Steve Raymond, secretary of the AATA employees' union. He will represent AATA at the American Public Transit Association's national roadeo in Washington next October. The winner of last year's AATA Roadeo, Charles Buck, scored a close second Sunday with 562 points. AATA Director Richard J. Simonetta said the course, in Washtenaw Community College's parking area, was set up precisely by national standards and was more difficult this year.
