Crowds flock to Fair

"I like everything," she said. But after glanciing at the price
of a pair of sandals she was trying on and looking at the art work
in the booths, she pointed to the sales racks and said, "There

had 100 degrees. But today forward-thinking Ann
Arbor leads the nation into cooler times, with a
cloudy day Inarked by morning thundershowers and
a high of only 85. Tomorrow look for a sinny,
