           MICHIGAN IS SWEPT BY GALE AND RAIN

           Factory at Grand Haven Demolished;
           Barns Unroofed, Trees Uprooted.

           DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 27 -(AP)-
           While Lake Michigan was whipped into a fury Friday by winds of
        gale force, the same storm was sweeping across the state, doing
        damage to towns and farms in its path.  Several persons were
        reported slightly injured.
           Barns were unroofed, trees uprooted and windows blown in.
        Torrential rains were reported in several sections of lower Michi-
        gan.  A factory building in Grand Haven was demolished with an
        estimated loss of between $40,000 and $50,000.

           High Winds Sweep Food City.
           High winds and rain swept over Battle Creek and the surrounding
        country Friday and caused damage estimated unofficially in the
        thousands of dollars.  Omer Fales, a Cady road farmer, narrowly
        escaped death when he was blown out of his barn a moment before it
        collapsed beneath the terrific wind.  He suffered a slight leg
        injury.
           Garages and small buildings near Battle Creek were demolished
        and poles of the Consumers Power Company were broken off.

           Roof Is Ripped Off.
           One of the buildings of the Challenge refrigerator plant at
        Grand Haven was partially destroyed by the storm, which ripped off
        13,000 square feet of roofing, demolished a wall and broke down the
        second floor.  Other minor damage was reported in Grand Haven.
           Winds of gale force swept through Detroit Friday night, blowing
        in numerous windows and uprooting trees.  Several large plate glass
        store fronts were demolished.  Charles Ginste, nine, was cut
        severely when he was struck by a piece of tin flying through the
        air.
