ON THUNDER BAY: Alpena has a unique beach at Mich-e-ke-wis Park. Low waters in the Great Lakes have left broad flats exposed, with sands so hard that automobiles can drive to the edge of the waves, or even into them. Bathers use a moveable dock to get into the clear waters back from the immediate shore. A kiddy slide and diving dock are anchored far out in the shoal waters. In the distance is Grass Island.

Above are shown two views of the ground-breaking ceremony held yesterday morning at the "Christmas Seal" camp for underprivileged tubercular children at North Lake by prominent Detroiters who support and supervise the camp. A new office building and additional cabins to cost $38,000 will be erected on this site this summer. Dr. Burt R. Shurly, member of the Detroit school board and head of the Detroit Tuberculosis hospital, is shown in the cabin of the steam shovel operating the levers, with the aid of the unseen Marvin Miller of Ann Arbor, the regular operator. Standing beside the shovel are, left, Mrs. W. Bruce Howard and, right, Mrs. Joseph T. Sinclair.
