Autumn color tour urges editors to Upper Peninsula trip
A letter from Mrs. George W. McCormick of Menominee praises an autumn foliage tour sponsored by the Bureau, urging artists to visit Upper Peninsula sites from Watersmeet to Copper Harbor and beyond as the region blooms with reds and yellows. It notes cliff drives, lakes, and shore routes as ideal painting subjects. The piece ends with sobering Accident Facts data showing home accident fatalities and disabilities in 1940.

Five Years Ago in Ironwood Area News Digest
Five years ago on Friday August 28 1936 a Bessemer area accountant Charles Maslowski died in an auto crash west of Odanah. A widow Mrs Anna Balasz died of heart disease, and local resident Richard Martin passed from a paralytic stroke. A baby girl was born to Mr and Mrs Raymond Moncher of Ironwood, former Bessemer residents. Annette Pesavento and Matthew Gardetto wed in Ironwood, as did Bruice Champion and Harry Jankoviak in Indianapolis. Jankoviak resigned as Washington junior high coach to take a job as educational advisor at Camp Cooke near Manistee. Montreal defeated Bessemer 10 to 1 ending the Interstate league season. Ruth Lipponen married Eugene Minkin in Ironwood. Bessemer township school board accepted Richard E. Heidemann’s resignation and named Patrick Petrusha to replace him. Ten years ago notes cover school openings and new teachers in Gogebic County.
