Ye Old Editor Has His Say: April 25, 1942 Sadly, too few truck trailer drivers know their Holy Bible, else they would sense, beforehand, that it is nearly as difficult for a camel to pass through the needle's eye as it is for one of their behemoths to pass under the Ann Arbor Railroad viaduct over W. Washington St. Ignoring the "10 ft., 6 in." clearance sign thundering at him from the side of the viaduct, a truck trailer driver tried to bull his 11 ft. 8 in. truck through the opening. It wasn't even a tight fit (See photo).

SIGNAL TERMED INADEQUATE: This grade crossing at the intersection of Summit and the Ann Arbor Railroad tracks has been termed worn out, obsolete, subject to breakdowns and difficult to see in bad weather by Parking and Traffic Department Supt. Theodore W. Vanderstempel. The City Council currently is considering an offer by the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railroad to split the cost on installing improved overhead signals. Councilmen were told the city must pay half because Wildt and Hiscock Streets run parallel to the tracks and enter at Summit near the crossing, thus requiring signals for these streets as well as Summit. No action date has been set.

A LOT OF FANS CAME BY BUS: These 88 special Greyhound buses parked in a tirigangular area bounded by Stadium Blvd, S. State St. and the Ann Arbor Railroad tracks just east of the University golf course indicate how a lot of fans came to Ann Arbor for Saturday's Michigan-Michigan State game. There also were a number of special trains.
