OSCODA'S RECREATIONAL PIER: In addition to its sand beach Oscoda has a municipal recreation pier that is popular with divers, amateur fishermen, and resorters who just like to sit in the sun. Here are two girls caught in full flight as they dove from the top rail in the center of the picture. Photo by E. N. Stanger, Booth Newspapers Photographer.

EVERY 18 MINUTES A BOAT PASSES: Detroit and St. Clair rivers are parts of one of the busiest waterways in the world. Through them from the beginning of navigation in April to its end in December passes a constant parade of boats - one boat every 18 minutes on an average, day and night.

HIDDEN DOCKS AT CALCITE - Here is one of Henry Ford's freighters, Edgewater, being loaded with crushed limestone - used in steel manufacture - at a dock hidden from public view by great mills, giant conveyors, and huge piles of material. This particular boat leaves no smoke trail behind it, as it is a Diesel motor ship. The docks at Calcite are busy during navigation season, a special parade of boats plying between here and various steel mill ports.

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.

ON ERIE'S RIM: Lake Erie is shallow at its western end where it washes 47 miles of Michigan shore. It is edged by flat farmlands and marshes. The picture shows a typical beach. The public owns only a mile and a half of the 47 miles - that being at Monroe State Park, reached from Highway M-56. There is no scenic highway along this coast.

SHIP SCULPTED BY BEATING WATERS - Here is one of the numerous stone ship prows that, according to one version, give Pointe aux Barques its name. Red pine trees, growing out of the solid rock, stand as masts. Access to this picturesque and unique shore is through private property, held since long before general touring days, the public being admitted under sufferance. Creation of a state park in this vicinity seems desirable both to guarantee public enjoyment of the state's natural wonders and to protect private property rights. Photo by E. N.
