MAJOR WINTER SPORT:
Top Ski Resorts Listed

PROCEEDS HELP YOUNG PATIENTS:
Galens To Hold Annual Tag Day This Weekend

Increased popularity in winter
sports is indicated with opening
of four new developments and
costly expansion programs which
bring to 21 the number of winter
recreational areas to be operated
in western Michigan this season.
Installation of a new snow-mak-
ing machine at Boyne Mountain,
addition of a new J-bar lift and
huge expansion and improvement
program of other facilities con-
tinue to make Boyne Mountain
Lodge the leader among mid-west-
ern........... .a winter resorts and one of the
top ten in the country.
Keeping pace with this rapid
growth, Caberfae, largest and most
diversified ski area in the mid-
west, has completed a $60,000 im-
provement program during the
summer months and expects to top
its record of over 47,000 skiers
last year,
Mount Mancelona, formerly
operated by Mancelona Chamber
of Commerce, has been purchased
by private interests and completely
redesigned and rebuilt.
With the addition of a T-bar
lift, numerous slopes and other
improvements, it now becomes one
of the finest areas in the state and
is destined to be one of the most
popular.
One of the new areas, Harbor
Highlands is located on the
northern tip of Michigan, three
miles north of Harbor Springs.
More than 300 acres of improved
ski area offer vertical rises up to
500 feet and down-hill trails
through hardwood forests of 3,000
feet.
It has three ski runs, two rope
tows, a warming house and a ski
patrol.
Ward Hills, another new area,
between Ludington and Baldwin,
has three ski runs, rope tows and
slopes designed for all classes of
skiers.
In the central part of the state,
between Lakeview and Amble, is
Brady's Hill with eight ski runs,
skating rink and shelter house with
snack bar.
Farther north, Mount McSauba,
one mile north of Charlevoix, will'
begin its operations with a major
ski run, beginners' area and shelter
house with snack bar. It will be
open weekends.
Supervising the famous Boyne
Mountain ski school this year will
be Austrian Franz Gabl, interna-
tionally known Olympic champion
and coach.
His staff will include seven of
the foremost teachers of skiing
from world-famous slopes of Eu-
rope and America.
A new ultra-modern cafeteria,
and lodge of 40 specially furnished
rooms have been added to already
existing facilities consisting of
three lodges, two of which adjoin
a spacious chalet-type clubhouse.
Clubhouse houses the main din-
ing room and lounge with huge
thermopane windows overlooking
ski slopes and an inviting refresh-
ments room.
In front of the clubhouse is an
ice skating rink.
Boyne Mountain also has one of
the largest ski, shops in the mid-
west.
This luxurious winter ski resort
has a ski-week vacation plan and
is open to others daily and week=
ends as well.
With ski facilities of 28 slopes,
a 25-acre slalom bowl, numerous
tows, ski shop, patrol and beauti-
ful new shelter house and expert
ski instruction by Monty Montague
and his staff of certified instruc-
tors, Caberfae expects to draw re-
cord crowds this year.
Located 16 miles west of Cadil-
lac, Caberfae is operated as a non-
profit organization and as such'
does not have lodging facilities on
the site.
Housing facilities are available
in Cadillac and in many motels
and winterized tourist courts in the
vicinity.

Meals are available in the large
clubhouse.
One of Michigan's most out-
standing ski areas is Mount Man-
celona, just north of the village of
Mancelona on Highway US-131.
This area provides 10 ski runs,

miles of ski trails, clubhouse with
rental equipment, snack bar and,
outside of Boyne Mountain, is the
only area in West Michigan to
employ a T-bar lift for its patrons.
Its many miles of ski trails are
in the heart of what United States
Weather Bureau terms the deepest
snow circle in the lower peninsula.
It has special week-end skiing
"packages," ski school and "learn
to ski week" plans. Provisions have
been made at the club for trailer
parking.
Near Boyne Mountain and with-
in city limits of Boyne City is an-
other popular ski area, Avalanche
ski park.
A municipally operated park, it;
is lighted for night skiing and has,
two ski runs, rope tows, clubhouse,
patrol and ski school
A modern ski lodge, complete'
with snack bar, fireplace, lounge
and other facilities is located at
the base of the ski slopes.-
In the Traverse City area are
three other fine ski areas: Holiday
Hills, one mile west of the city;
and Sugar Loaf Mountain, 17 miles
north of Traverse City.
Showplace of Holiday Hills is
the recently completed clubhouse
of modernistic design with huge
fireplace in the lounge,
The 13 ski slopes, lighted for
night skiing, attract thousands of
novice and expert skiers through-
out the season.
The ski school, under Hans
(Peppi) Teichner, attracts many
beginners to the area. Facilities
include dining room, snack bar,
rope tows and ski patrol.
Tobogganing is also popular at
this winter sports area.
One of the finest community-
developed winter sports areas of
Michigan is Hickory Hills, under
supervision of Traverse City recre-
ation department.1
Located one mile west of the
city, it has eight ski runs, electri-1
cally powered rope tows and an-a
other slow-moving rope tow in the;
"bunny section."
The outstanding clubhouse is a
popular spot with its huge round,
center fireplace, lunch room and
other facilities.a
Seventeen miles north of Trav-;
erse City is another outstanding
area, Sugar Loaf Mountain.-
Here there are a fine slalom
bowl, three-quarter-mile long main
ski slope, rope tows and many
other excellent facilities all helping1
to make this Leelanau peninsula,
area one of the finest in Northern°
Michigan.1
One of the longest ski jumps in
the lower peninsula is at Briar Hill
Ski Club, three miles east of Me-1
sick.
The ski club offers wide variety'
of ski runs, rope tows and rental
equipment. Shelter house has a
snack bar.
In Newaygo County a Winter
Sports Park, three miles north of
the village on M-37, has become
popular for winter sports fans from
a wide, area.
Two new ski slopes have been
opened and lighted for night use.
It will be open nightly during
the week, afternoons and evenings
on Saturdays and Sundays.
Two half-mile-long toboggan
runs are among features offered
at the club. Large shelter house
is situated near the slopes.
Newaygo Chamber of Commerce
maintains and operates the park
on a non-profit basis.
In Petoskey the Michigan Win-'
ter Sports Carnival will be staged,
on two consecutive weekends -
February 2 and 3, February 9 and
10, this winter.
Michigan's Winter Queen will be
selected and crowned in a colorful
ceremony on the latter weekend.
Most spectacular event on the an-
nual program is Winter Wonder-°
land Revue staged by locally-train-'
ed figure skaters.'
These and other attractive

events throughout the season make
Winter Sports Park, consisting of
two municipally operated areas,
one of the most popular in thej
area.
It offers ski slopes, two ice skat-
ing rinks and snow jumper run on

which a one-runner sled offers a!
challenge to adults and children.
Manistee Ski Area is offering
baby-sitting service in an unique
effort to stimulate family skiing
in that area. This area has facili-
ties of 17 ski runs, rope tows, 10
open slopes, seven ski trails, rental
equipment and clubhouse with
snack bar,
Located east of Manistee in
UdellsHills of Manistee National
Forest, Manistee Ski Area as

Michigan winter recreation area.
School children of Manistee and
nearby Wellston will receive free
ski instruction under a program
sponsored by the Manistee Board
of Commerce.
A ski school is available to the
public under a full staff of experi-
enced instructors.
Lake Valley Winter Sports Re-
sort, 12 miles east of Kalkaska,
offers a complete program of ski-
ing, tobogganing and skating to its
winter guests.
One of the six ski runs has been
improved to carry skiers far out
onto the snow of Black Lake.
New, this year, is a chalet cock-
tail lounge and motel to accommo-
date 40 guests. Main lodge has a
dining room and lounge,
Missaukee Mountains, three
miles north of Lake City, has un-
dergone considerable improvement

runs and a large beginners' area
along with slopes for the inter-'
mediate class.
Popular with guests is the 24
by 80 foot rustic clubhouse with
lounge, fireplace, snack bar and
rental equipment section.
Among the modest ski develop-
ments of West Michigan is Glacier
Hills at Bellaire. Operating at
present with shelter house and
main ski run of 800 feet, served
by tow rope, full scale development
plans are underway for the 80-acre
site.
Two ski jumps, one of them the
longest in the lower peninsula of
Michigan, hold the center of at-
traction at Elberta Mountain, a
municipally-d e v e l o p e d winter
sports area along Lake Michigan
within the boundaries of the city
of Elberta.
An innovation in ski jumping
has been successful at Elberta
Mountain which has lighted one of!
the jumps for night exhibitions. In
addition to jumps there are num-
erous ski runs, all served by rope
tows.
- Winter sports activities at Ionia
are centered at Brock County Park,!
two miles west of Ionia. Principal
attractions are a 2,000-foot-long
toboggan slide and large skating
rink.
Lunches are served on weekends!
in the large modern shelter house.
Echo Valley is one of Michigan's
most complete winter sports areas
and most extensive development in
the southern section of Western
Michigan.
Located midway between Kala-
mazoo and Battle Creek, Echo
Valley's big attraction Is its six
toboggan runs.
Runs are fashioned out of pour-
ed concrete over which water is
sprayed to freeze to hard, light-
ning-fast surface.
A supervisor, housed in a control
hut above the runs, has complete!
control over the runs at all times.
At the base of the runs is a huge!
clubhouse where lunches and re-l
freshments are served, and just a
few steps from there is the large
skating rink.
Open every night and days and
nights on weekends the entire area
is brilliantly lighted for full night
enjoyment. A ski jump is main-
tained for the expert skiers who
come there to practice.

By ROBERT BALL
Members of Galens, the medi-
cal student honorary society, will
be standing on street corners
around Ann Arbor tomorrow and
Saturday in their third annual
Tag Day.
The proceeds from the drive,
w h ich in past years have
amounted to about $7000,hare
used for two Galens supportedl
projects.
The Galens' workshop, .located
on the ninth floor of University
Hospital, is a recreation area for
young patients. It features varied
equipment for working in arts
and crafts, has both a book and
a record library, and listening fa-
cilities for the records.
A full-time special education
teacher supervises the workshop.
In addition, patients who cannot
be moved to the ninth floor are
personally visited by the teacher.
A play area is also available on
the roof of the hospital. Baseball
and other outdoor sports are
played there when the weather
nods approval.
Workshop Projects
The children decide for them-
selves what project they want to

undertake -- perhaps making a
lanyard, book ends, or a wood
profile.
Children arrive at the workshop
on foot, in wheelchairs, or in beds.
The workshop provides occu-
pational therapy on a miniature
level. It is sometimes the only
pleasant part of a child's stay at
the hospital.
The other of the two Galens
supported projects. is an annual
Christmas party for the young
patients of the hospital. Since
some of the children go home for
Christmas, the party is held ear-
ly, next Thursday this year,
This year 199 children in the
hospital will receive gifts and par-
ticipate in games. The parties will
be held in individual wards.
Santa Claus naturally will make
an appearance in each ward.
Party Candy
The candy usually associated
with a children's party will be
distributed during the week with
the regular meals, according to
Miss Mary A. Bancroft, assistant
director of the hospital school.
Stockings are hung on the walls
on Christmas Eve by those chil-

dren too ill to go home for the
holiday, and these are filled with
gifts by Galens members.
Bob Kretzchmar, '57M, Galens
president, described a more com-
plete program than the mere fill-
ing of stockings. "Thirty years!
ago Galens took on the job of
making a complete and wonder-
ful Christmas for the unfortun-
ate kids who have to stay in the
hospital," he said. "If a hospital

was ever like home, the Univer-
sity Hospital is at Christmas."
The Galens were recently re-
stricted by SGC from soliciting on
the campus, although the restric-
tion applies only to the "main
campus" area. With this obstacle
in mind, the Galens will be doub-
ly pressed to reach their quota of
$7,000. Expansion of their opera-
tions during the years has resulted
in a program costing this amount
annually.

Cocteau Play
To Be Given
Jean Cocteau's "The Infernal
Machine" will be presented by the
department of speech at 8 p.m.
tomorrow and Saturday in Aud. A,
Angell Hall.

and film director, Cocteau is con-
sidered one of the most unusual
figures in 20th century French
literature.
Under the direction of Prof. Jack
E. Bender, of the speech depart-
ment, the production will utilize
the style of Reader's Theatre for
this second experimental playbill,
Included in the cast will be Glen
Phillips, '58; Larry Jones, '59;

Cardinal Mindszenty Reports
On Period Of Red Torture

NEW YORK () - Hungary's
Cardinal Mindzenty was tortured
by Red secret police for 29 days
and nights before his trial on trea-
son charges in 1949, he disclosed
in an interview published yester-
day.
The cardinal said he was
stripped nude, beaten for days on
end with a rubber hose, kept in a
cold, damp cell to irritate his
weak lung, forced to watch ob-

scene orgies, and questioned with-
out sleep throughout the entire
period.
When he collapsed, he was re-
vived immediately to deprive him
of rest, but no drugs were used
to make him confess to trumped-
up treason charges at his trial,
the Cardinal told his interviewer,
Hungarain-speaking Leslie Balogh
Bain.
