Guess again People who paid $1 last winter to guess when the Midland harbor ice would weaken so much that this car would sink to the harbor bottom, are welcome by the Midland Chamber of Commerce to guess again in 1989. The best guess is worth $750. $750 for grabs in Car-on-ice game When the car on the ice will sink is anybody's guess. Each guess costs nile The car on the ice belongs to the Midland Chamber of Commerce. The dollar entitles a person to guess the date, hour, and minute when the ice will cease to sup- port the car. The prize is the same as last year: $750 in cash. The winner is the per- son whose guess is closest to the day, hour, and minute that the car sinks. A timer inside the lock- ed car shell records the time of the sinking. The ice between the Midland town dock and Downer's Yacht Haven was one foot thick when the car was put in posi- tion at the end of January. In 1988 the contest end- ed on April 3.
