Beaver Island Irish run beacons to Michigan coast
The piece recalls Beaver Island’s Irish community, King Strang’s Mormon era and rival tales, tracing St. James history from 1844 through present calm. It notes ferry links, growth of 250 white and 125 Native residents, scarce tourism, and the still vivid memories of Gallahers McCanns and families.

Veterans Dental Aid and Local Council Veterans’ Affairs Notes
Veterans may receive dental care through the Veterans Administration for teeth treated in service if not defective at enlistment or if they served six months or more and defects appeared within one year after discharge. An VA exam or dentist affidavit within one year is required for the latter. The VA will repair only the teeth shown defective in service or within one year after discharge unless pyorrhea or whole-mouth disease necessitates extraction and plates. Applications may be made via VA or a private dentist if outside Detroit. A new Michigan Veterans’ Vocational School catalog is available upon request. The Wakefield council reports various building and sewer permit cases, water connections, and hospital news entries.
