9' mu , Just outside of the city limits lies several acres of ground and buildings known as the Coldwater State Home and Training School. The home was originally set up as part of the Michigan common school system. Orphans and dependent children were educated an d guided to help them gain a place in society. Now the school serves as an institution for the mentally deficient. ln no manner is it a penal or reformatory institution. The staffs main objective is to train and educate these people so their lives can be lived happily and fully in todayis modern society.

Many of Coldwater's streets are lined with build- ings built in an architectural design not often reproduced today. Used car lot? Or the Mafiais parking lot? Many of these cars would cost more nowadays th a n when they first came off the assembly line.
