TESTING NEW SLIDE: Huron Hills country club, scene of many a closely contested golf match during the summer months, has been transformed into a winter sports center by club members. In the above picture, three toboggans are shown about to take off on the long chute which has been built near the 18th green. On the right are shown R. S. Hawley, Jr., his sister, Evelyn Hawley, Paul Reed and William Buttolph. The center toboggan contains Mary Lou Strickland; her mother, Mrs. W. Strickland, Mrs. Larry Gray and James Swenson of Detroit while the one at the left carries William Strickland, club president, Mrs. Norman Ottmar, Mrs. Florence Swenson of Detroit and Mrs. Betty Spokes.

Winter sports fans at the Caberfae like to talk about the deep-dipping toboggan slide there, where averages of 52 miles an hour are normally attended. Earlier in the winter the toboggans were zooming down at 60 and more miles an hour, and safety-minded Caberfae sponsors tamed down the slide.

If there isn't a toboggan handy, hard Cadillac girls go down the 52-mile-an-hour slide without one. One of the amazing things about this is that they actually do - without ripping their snow pants.

HERE'S HOW PROMOTION'S HANDLED: Civilian Conservation Corps labor, under the supervision of the Michigan Department of Conservation and the National Park Service, builds the facilities at the Grayling Winter Sports Park, but the community promotes the project. Pictured above are the snow queen and her court, who preside over the sports events and help the park get publicity. The results of energetic promotion arrive in the form of the more than 16,000 visitors who come to the park during the course of the season.
