Donald Staebler, 90, walks up to his house after tending to his cows at his farm along Plymouth Road. The 100 acres of land Staebler is selling to Washtenaw County include frontage on picturesque Frains Lake. Currently there is no public access to the 16-acre lake because the entire lake frontage is privately owned. Staebler says he could have sold the land to a developer for more than the 1.5 million the county will pay.

Workers In U-M Underground Tunnels, August 7, 1947

Ann Arbor News, August 7, 1947
Caption
Welding is a hot enough business even on a cool day, but add the smothering temperatures which have visited Ann Arbor this week and you get a job few men would envy. Harold Dapprich of Ypsilanti, the welder in the above picture, isn't quite as warm as you may think, however. He is at work replacing a steam main in the University's underground tunnel system where the temperature is some eight degrees cooler than outside. It's a different story in tunnels leading to the buildings which use steam for cooking or sterilizing purposes. There the temperature gets as high as 120 degrees.

Double Dividend - Louisa Pieper examines flowers on the magnolia tree in front of Ann Arbor's historic Kempf House on 312 S. Division St. The tree usually blooms just once -- in early spring. This year, passersby have been startled to note the tree is in flower again. A horticultural assistant at Matthaei Botanical Gardens who has seen the tree in bloom speculates that because the entire tree is not in flower, the blossoms are the result of left over buds that simply were not mature enough to open in the spring. These buds, however, did continue to develop throughout the recent warm weather until they eventually opened.

Floral Beauty - The Kempf house on Division Street, an architectural gem in Greek revival style, was built in 1854, but its old-fashioned garden goes back only to the 1940s. Before that, the garden area was occupied by a driveway and carriage house, and was overlooked by a livery stable and a hospital. Today the garden is maintained by volunteer Marvin Pettaway and the city's Parks Department -- a colorful collection of roses, peonies, lilacs, bloodroot, delphinium, iris, day lilies, trillium and many annuals.
