—EMERGENCY VEHICLES—

This headline appeared in the June 21 issue of the Grand Rapids Press:

"ItAllKICADE ENDS FLIGHT OF FL'GITIVE"

Actually, this is just another news Item; but what is signifi-cant Is mention of the fact that the chase was hampered by heavy traffic and motorists who refused to yield the highway despite screaming sirens. All right, so this happened near Petoskey.

Now let us gel a bit closer to home. In fact, right here in north Kent County.

On Sunday, June 19th, at G:08 p.m., a Kent County Deputy was dispatched to a serious accident Involving multlpie personal injuries to the occupant* of two vehicles which crashed nearly head-on three miles north of Kent City on Peach Ridge Avenue. It took ten minutes to arrive at the scene of the accident; a de-lay of several minutes.

The cause is the same story; motorists refusing to yield the highway to an emergency vehicle. In one instance, ' ith the emergency red flasher in operation and with the cruiser only twenty feet behind, It took three strong blasts of the siren to get that car to move over to the shoulder of the road. In two other instances the siren and the flashing light were completely disregarded. The officer had no choice but to wait for a break In the traffic so that he ceuld pass safely without endangering his life or the lives of others,

CLASSIC GAR CLUB WILL STAGE RALLY Oil JULY 9 AT CREENFIELO VILLAGE

DEARBORN— The automobile

world's elite of yesteryear will hold

a reunion in Greenfield Village on

Saturday, July 9.

The occasion is the Midwest

Grand Classic, sponsored by the

Classic Car Club of America. This is the fourth year the midwestern

group has met in Greenfield Vil-lage.

The some 100 entries will include Duesenberg, Pierce Arrow, Stutz, Auburn, Franklin, Cord, Merce-des, Packard, and Marmon, to name a few. By Classic Car defi-nition, they were the finest cars produced between 1925 and 1942.

A Midwest Champion will be selected, together with Primary and Senior Division winners In each of. seven classes—production, custom. Rolls Royce, foreign clas-sics other than Rolls Royce, sports racing. Continentals and Auburn-Cord. The Senior group Is com-posed of winners from previous meets.

Simultaneously, the Eastern Grand Classic will be held in New Jersey and a Western Grand Clas-sic In California. Scores of the top winners at the three meets will be compared afterwards to select a national grand champion.

The big, sleek cars will be judged for mechanical performance, ac-curacy of restoration and general appearance.

Founded eight years ago, the Classic Car Club of America has a membership of more than 2,000. A Classic Car, by club definition, was marked by custom body and coach work. Nearly all cars car-ried high price tags.

Top honors at the 1959 Midwest Grand Classic in the Primary D1 vision went to C. E. Valentine, Jr., of Birmingham, Mich., whose 1937 Mercedes 540-K Cabriolet tallied 98.75 points to make it the top car In this division of national com petition. The Midwest Senior title was won by W. A. Sudlow of Syra-cuse, Ind., who entered a 1937 Cord Model 812 and scored 99.25 points. Sudlow was nosed out for national recognition, however, by Jack B. Nethercutt of Los Angeles whose 1930 duPont was awarded 100 points.

States that will be represented at the July 9 meet In Greenfield Village besides Michigan include Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wis-consin, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and New York.

Charles E. Letts, Jr., of Birming-ham, is chairman of the 1960 Mid-west Grand Classic.
