STATE CAPITAL:
Lansing Turns Back Calendar'
For Centennial Celebration
LANSING, March 15.-(/P3-
Michigan's capital turned back its
calendar today to begin a week-
long centennial celebration.
Lansing residents prepared to
dress in hoopskirts, frock coats
and stove-pipe hats and ride in
surreys as they observe the 100th
anniversary of the legislative act
signed by Governor William L.
Greenly on March 15, 1847, which
established the "seat of state gov-
ernment in Lansing Township,
Ingham County."
A Centennial Queen, selected
from nearly 70 candidates, will
reign over the week's activities,
which will be highlighted by the
Governor's luncheon, a costume
ball, beard-growing contest and
historical pageantry.
Lansing came to be the capitol
of Michigan because a legislative
joke backfired in the 1847 session.
While clamors of Jackson, Ann
Arbor, Marshall, and a half dozen
other towns to be selected as the
new capitol deadlocked the 12th
Legislature in Detroit, a lawmaker
jokingly proposed that the capitol
be located in the township of
Lansing.
The proposal gathered momen-
tum, and two months later Lan-
sing, hardly a cross-road at the
time, nosed out the leading con-

From the declaration of a na-
tional emergency in the summer
of 1940 through early 1946 nearly
sixteen million American men
and women served in uniform.
tender, Marshall, to be designated
as the state capitol. The site was
known at first as "the Town of
Michigan," but was renamed Lan-
sing over the objections of many
who wanted it named for a promi-
nent state or national figure or an
Indian name.
The city of Lansing was not
incorporated until 12 years later
although a state house was con-
structed in time for the legislative
session of 1848.
The centennial celebration will
get under way Monday at a Gov-
ernor's luncheon honoring Gover-
nor Sigler at which the Centen-
nial Queen will be presented for
the first time. The evening pro-
gram will feature a city-wide St.
Patrick's Day dinner.
The 64th Legislature meets in
joint session attended by the gov-
ernor, members of the supreme
court and elected officials Tuesday
to honor the founding of the cap-
itol. Former Governor Alex J.
Groesbeck may address the ses-
sion.
Other Tuesday events include a
merchant's breakfast to be attend-
ed by all employes of Lansing
shops in centennial costumes
which they will wear in the stores
all day, the judging of window dis-
plays of 100-year-old relics, and
the selection of Lansing's oldest
native couple. North Lansing will
hold its 40th annual Farmer's Day
and smelt dinner.
The Memories in Michigan show,
a historical tableau, with Governor
Sigler and C. W. Otto, secretary of
the Lansing Chamber of Com-
merce, speaking on "Michigan
Yesterday and Today," will be pre-
sented Wednesday and Thursday
evenings.
A public costume ball is sched-
uled for Friday night and the cele-
bration will close Saturday eve-
ning with a special Centennial
Dance for the teen-agers.
