INDUSTRIAL BABY:
AAF Vet Establishes Snow
Removal Firm in Ann Arbor
Campus Highlights
1.*
By BOB WARREN
There is something new under the
September sun.
It is one of Ann Arbor's youngest
industrial babies-The Public Serv-
ice Company, specializing in sidewalk
snow removal.
Nothing more complicated than
his having to walk through deep
snow in the dead of winter prompt-
ed James W. Woodul, 27-year-old
Eighth Air Force Veteran and sole
owner and manager of the Ann Ar-
bor 1ublic Service Company, to
think of putting snow removal on
a large scale production.
At the present time the Public
Service Company has only two em-
ployees. These are Moodul and his
young wife. Ann Arbor residents for
only a year, the Wooduls are natives
of Arkansas. They both laugh easily,
and with pardonable pride they will
tell you that they did not need a GI
Loan, but they are hoping that their
savings will see them through.
Woodul and his wife were kept busy
Dr. Greenman
Finds Relics of
Ancient Culture
Searching among quartzite flakes
in three ancient beach sites along
Georgian Bay in Ontaria, Dr. Em-
erson F. Greenman of the Museum
of Anthropology and five Univer-
sity summer students found im-
plements which are believed to link
the area of ancient culture previ-
ously found in the southwestern
United States.
Dr. Greenman said he and the
students found projectile points,
knives, scrapers and axes showing
indications of the Yuma-Folson cul-
ture found in Colorado, Wyoming
and New Mexico.
These implements are considered
geologically dateable, he said, be-
cause of the tilt of rise of the three
sites after the recession of the main
continental glacier that came down
over the Great Lakes.
Ages of the sites range from 1,400
to 15,000 years, Dr. Greenman said,
according to the estimates previ-
ously made by Dr. George M. Stan-
ley of the geology department.
during the past summer with book-
keeping and answering the many re-
sponses to their advertising. The ad-
vertising was done in the summer be-
cause, as Woodul points out, "snow
removal in the winter on a large
scale is a long range operation."
When up to strength the company
will employ 22 men who will be veter-
ans if possible. Depending on the
weather, the working hours during a
heavy snow fall will begin at 6 a.m.
Paid by the hour, the employees will
also receive bonuses for the amount
of work done.
Woodul has worked for a year on
the many problems and loop-holes
in the process of snow removal.
"The idea just didn't come to me
overnight," he said, adding that,
"when you are fooling around with
the weather it is absolutely nec-
essary to consider and study past
weather reports. Even so there will
be years in which we shall make
money because of heavy snow
falls, and some years we'll lose it by
having mild, green winters. It all
is a chance element."
Designed and constructed by
Woodul, the machinery to be used in
plowing and sweeping the 200 miles
of Ann Arbor sidewalks is still"top
secret," but he admits that the ma-
chinery is mechanized. The field of
mechanics is not a foreign one to
him for in the service he was an in-
structor in combat mechanics on
B-24 Bombers and held the rank of
Master Sergeant.
Woodul says that all of the side-
walks in the city can be cleaned by
8 a.m. In addition to the service fee
there is a fee for measuring the prop-
erty to be cleaned._
The sidewalk measurements of the
10,000 homes and 2,500 business es-
tablishment in Ann Arbor are kept
on permanent file. Woodul claims
that he can tell you in 30 seconds any
sidewalk measurement of any home
or business in the city.
The Public Service Company
doesn't expect much, if any, compe-
tition for as Woodal frankly said:
"I don't believe anybody else has
the equipment or the know-how to
clean 200 miles of sidewalks in two
hours."
Later, if the snow removal venture
is a success, the company will branch
out. But Woodul is not giving away
any of his trade secrets. As he said,
"So much depends on so much."
