TWO TOTS: Mr. and Mrs. Harold D. Dick of 530 N. Wagner in Scio Township have rigged up a sled and harness for their eight-month-old daughter, Kelly, and an Alaskan huskie [sic] puppy. Actually, the rig may be providing early training for both. The Dicks plan to train the puppy, now just over three months old, and two others they will acquire for sled racing. They also foresee Kelly becoming a driver.

Children Sledding At 1301 Lutz Avenue, January 1949
Year:
1949
Published In:
Ann Arbor News, January 27, 1949
Caption:
Today's half-inch of snow (the first of the season) was a long time coming - but it timed itself beautifully, in the minds of Ann Arbor's sledding set. Although it wasn't deep, it had the twin virtues of being deceptively slick - and of being on the ground while school children holidayed between semesters. Taking advantage of it in descending order this morning were Sue Kiddle, 11, of 431 Crest Ave.; Billy Thompson, 7, of 500 Crest Ave.; David Dunlap, 7, of 1301 Lutz Ave.; and Mary Ellen Kiddle, 9, of 431 Crest Ave. The "hill" is at Lutz and Crest Aves., and the snow was there by courtesy of the elements which promised a freezing drizzle tonight and higher temperatures tomorrow - but no more snow.

Car Slipped Off The Road In The Nichols Arboretum, January 1955
Year:
1955
Published In:
Ann Arbor News, January 29, 1955
Caption:
WELL, HE WANTED TO TOBOGGAN: James O'Sullivan, jr., 20, of 1402 Maywood Ave., could well have eyed longer the direction sign and less the snow-capped slopes of the Nichols Arboretum as he drove through the park about 10 a.m. today. Looking for a place to go tobogganing, O'Sullivan allowed his car to slide from the roadway. Although originally proceeding in the specified direction, O'Sullivan soon was headed in another.
