$ 7-per-quarter rate hike for sewer-water proposed by group

pool fund drive nears 7,000 mark A county-wide drive to open

the Veteran's Memorial Swimming Pool In St. Johns this'summer has reached approximately $7,000 as of Tuesday noon, which is over the halfway mark of a goal set at $12,500 to be collected by this Friday.

Still to be contacted, however, by the volunteers of the Clinton County Memorial Swimming Pool Committee are Industries and many businessmen of St. Johns, which the committee feels will result in the success of its drive. Federal-Mogul and SealedPower Corp. are accepting contributions from employees who are inter

ested In backing the project. Dr Herbert Oatley, chairman

of the committee, said the money raised so far includes $6,761. This amount does not Include pledges or money that has been sent, but not receivedas of Tuesday noon.

Despite the distance-to go yet toward the $12,500 goal, Dr Oatley said he is encouraged and optimistic. "I think we're going to make It,* he said, pointing out that the money raised so far has been raised in less than a week.

"There are a lot of people who want to give but who seem

to be holding back so far,* Dr Oatley said. "But please get your contributions in right away so we can add everything up. A deadline Is a deadline,"

*Thls is a community-wide drive," he pointed out, "and there Is no -one group or faction behind it. Everybody who is interested in having kids swim at the pool instead of the gravel pits this summer should be behind it."

The deadline imposed by the c o m m i t t e e of 31 persons attending a meeting last Tuesday night is this Friday, May 10. That's the date the City of St.

Johns and the YMC must know whether the pool will be operational In time for the Y to run their proposed swimming pro-, gram in St. Johns.

Steps are already being taken to shorten the time necessary for o r d e r i n g and delivering equipment. The YMCA said they must have the pool In operating condition by June 7 so their Instructional programs can start soon afterward.

Working drawings showing the Inclusion of new filters, pumps and water-heating equipment for the pool are already been drawn up, and Dr Oatley said necessary

pumps were going to be ordered Tuesday. Both of these steps have been made possible by contributions from donor s who

| specified that their money could be used for those purposes and it won't have to be returned to them should the fund drive ultimately not reach its goal.

This enables the committee to j*et a jump on some of the work that otherwise would have to wait until after the $12,500 is assured, Dr Oatley explained

Some 31 persons were present at the organization of the committee last Tuesday evening. Dr Oatley was elected chairman of

the group after the people present voted to go ahead and try to raise the $12,500.

Attending we re representatives of the Lions Club, Hotary Exchange, Jaycees, Jaycettes, VFW, American Loglon, VFW Auxiliary, Legion Aux i l i a ry , Knights of Columbus, St. Johns Woman's Club, Order of Eastern Star, 40 & 8, Rainbow Girls, PTA, board of supervisors and a number of Interested 'citizens.

A permanent committee was elected to carry out the fund drive this week. Others beside Dr Oatley include Elolse Ham-bleton as secretary-treasurer.

and Floyd P a r m e l e e , Bob De-dyne, Bob Gill, John Flak and Frances Conn.

A' special Clinton County Memorial Swimming Pool Fund was set up at the Clinton National Bank, and all contributions to the pool fund should be made out to the fund and mailed to Clinton National. All contributions will be receipted and will be refunded If the drive Is not successful in reaching Us goal. '

Chamber of Commerce, retailers

studying plans for reorganization The first steps to reorgani

zing the St. Johns Chamber of Commerce and local retailers Into one strong organization were t aken last week with t h r e e meetings between board members of the Chamber and the retailers.

Since the separation of St. Johns retailers from the Chamber several years ago, both units have had an uphill battle in their attempts to solicit members and to promote the City of St. Johns to the satisfaction of many of Its members.

Ind iv idua l discussion had reached the point where many members were for dropping the Chamber of Commerce and concentrating on a strong retailers organization. But, a f t e r l a s t •week's threejneetlngs, the con-, se'nsus of those attending 'was that a strong chamber would be,

more beneficial to St. Johns. THUS THE INITIAL plans were

formulated to try to combine the two separate organizations Into one strong Chamber of Commerce. The goal of this new organization would be to promote St. Johns both as a business unit and as a community. <

The r e t a i l e r s unit, represented by William Barber, Nor-bert Rehmann and Charles Huntington, met with the Chamber of Commerce Board members on Monday m o r n i n g and then again at the regular chamber board meeting Tuesday evening. From these two discussion, came the decision to try to reorganize the retailers and the c h a m b e r Into a strong community unit.

This decision was then presented at the regular meeting of the-retail unit on Wednesday noon.' Of the 28^ in attendance

at the retailers meeting, all agreed that the groups Involved should continue to work out the steps needed to combine the two units and set up a dues system that would benefit both organizations in that they would be able to operate the city p r o m o t i o n s and retail promotions to the best efforts of all concerned.

A committee was set up to go over the dues structure of the Chamber and to report with a possible recommendation for future billings. It is hoped, by the committees involved that within one year a strong Chamber can be representing all units involved in the City of St. Johns, including retailers, profession-also, Industrialists and all other local merchants.

, MEETINGS HAVE been scheduled for every Wednesday

at the L&L Restaurant untilpro-blems have been worked out to the satisfaction of all concerned. It was recommended and agreed that after the weekly meetings are concluded, the Chamber of Commerce would meet monthly to hear reports anda decide on possible new avenues of promoting St. Johns. ^

THE INITIAL THOUGHTS on how the new organization should operate were basically: A new dues structure which would fall due at the same time every year, enabling the group to_set up a yearly operating budget within 60 days of the dues deadline; all groups would be organized and represented by committees — a retail committee, an industrial committee etc. — these committees submitting y e a r l y

$ 7-per-quarter rate hike for sewer-water proposed by group 'A $25,000 quarterly increase in the city's combined water

and sewer rates is the unanimous recommendation this week to the St. Johns City Commission by the finance committee of local citizens named by Mayor Charles Coletta last January to study the city's fiscal problems.

It was the first public pronouncement of the nine-member committee which has been meeting regularly for nearly five months to study and discuss the city's current financial difficulties.

Ross Downing, who has served as chairman of the independent finance committee, said the group's rate recommendations have been announced to give local residents and city officials an opportunity to consider the proposals prior to the May 17 meeting of the city commission. At that time the commission could set in motion ordinance procedures which would make new rates effective for the quarter beginning July 1.

THE RECOMMENDED RATE adjustments would be spread among 1,934 city water and sewer accounts. The minimum combined rate for up to 10,000 gallons of water would be increased from $9 to $16 quarterly.

The suggested schedule of water-sewer charges descends through a series of six further steps ranging from 85 cents per

voters by almost a 2-1 margin Saturday turned down a proposed Increase in mlllage which would have been used for Improving the road system in the township. The vote was 106 yes to 186 no.

Less than 25 per cent of the township's registeredvoters cast ballots in the special election.

Bath Charter Township Better Roads Committee, a community action group, made a comprehensive study of the township road situation. As a result of their findings, the c o m m i t t e e suggested that if the road system in the township was to be improved it would cost property owners 4 mills a year for four years.

Of the 186 votes cast at the township hall, 85 favored the millage • increase and 101 said no. The voters In precinct 2 voting at the Park Lake League Hall numbered 106. Twenty-one

Committee chairman, said he is uncertain what the committee will do in the future but he doesn't expect It to disband.

It Is felt that part of the reason for the defeat of mlllage i s s u e could have been' c a u s e d by another s p e c i a l election which Is to be held June 10 when Bath School district voters will be' asked for more mlllage.

thousand gallons to a low of 30 cents per thousand for four major users.

Chairman Downing said his committee's study of the city's water-sewer system revealed a four-year operational deficit which will amount to at least $150,000 by June 30 of this year. The loss has been made up by advances from the city's general fund.

"Our committee is unanimous in its opinion that the water-sewer department should charge rates sufficient to cover operational and capital improvement costs," said Downing. "We also belieye the revenues should be adequate to repay the $150,000 obligation to the general fund over a period of the next 10 years."

The proposed rate schedule is designed to produce an approximate $300,000 in annual revenue, as compared to the present $200,000 received from water-sewer customers.

Revenues from customers necessary to fund the system are estimated by the committee at $300,000 annually and include $53,000 for interest and retirement of revenue bonds, $50,000 for capital improvements and $15,000 for repayment of advances from the general fund. The remaining $182,000 is the estimated cost of utilities, repairs, materials, wages and administration involved in operation of the water and sewer plants

AMONG NEEDED capital improvements in the system during the next 10 years cited specifically by the committee are two new wells at costs ranging from $30,000 to $50,000 each; replacement of 22 blocks of galvanized water line, $110,000; replacement of four blocks of sanitary sewer along the railroad tracks, $40,000; replacement and interconnection of 12 blocks of dead end water main, $36,000.

The finance committee also- recommended that, if rates are adjusted in accordance with its recommendations, the city resume operation of water softening processes. The committee determined that the only additional cost for this service is an approximate $16,000 annually for the materials used.

Federal-Mogul Corp., the largest user of city water,indicated to the committee during its deliberations that they are seriously concerned about this possible second substantial increase in their •water rates within the past 18 months. Federal-Mogul management said that in view of the extremely competitive nature of the automotive parts industry any large increase in operating cost can affect the volume of work.

Federal-Mogul advised the committee that they will investigate the feasibility of installing their own standpipe, wells and water system. On the basis of current usage, the proposed increase for Federal-Mogul amounts to about $16,000 annually.*

IT IS ALSO THE recommendation ot the finance committee that 10 accounts which currently pay only a sewage charge be^ placed on a quarterly minimum of $16 residential and $48 com--i mercial, if city water mains are available to them for hook-up.f

A final recommendation to the city commission is that the. water-sewer rate structure be reviewed annually to correct inequities and effect possible future reductions.

No panic while awaiting ruling A

Clinton keeping its cool on reapportionment By LOWELL G. RINKER

Editor The possible reinstatement of the "one-man one-

vote" apportionment of county boards of supervisors in Michigan isn't causing any big excitement on the Clinton County Board of Supervisors.

The board has met three times since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled April 1 that local-level governing bodies must be apportioned as equal population districts. Discussion of the situtation has been par-tically nil, and even queries from the press have brought little comment.

The board is taking a wait and see attitude. They already have filed a reapportionment plan for an ll-< man board, and if the Michigan Court of Appeals rules in favor of the one-man one-vote concept they will have abided by the law.

Clinton is one of at least 47 Michigan • counties which filed reapportionment plans with the secretary of state prior to April 1967 when .the Michigan Supreme Court ruled the one-man one-vote apportionment of county boards Is invalid.

THIS PREVIOUS ENACTMENT of a reapportionment plan Is important, and it is the main reason why the Clinton County board is keeping its cool. If the Michigan Court of Appeals rules in favor of the one-man one-vote concept—and depending on when they do—it may be necessary to elect the new board of supervisors in the elections this fall.! If that is the case, nominating petitions for places on

the ballot in August have to be filed by June 18. That's only about 5 1/2 weeks away. County boards,

which hadn't previously acted on a plan for r e apportionment are probably biting their nails, not knowing whether to go ahead with a plan or let the situation stand as it Is. If the court of appeals rules for reapportionment soon, .there'll be quite a flurry Of activity around the state by boards which have to enact a new board apportionment, file the plan and then accept petitions for nominations to the new districts.

In Clinton County, the only activity will be the filing of petitions.

There'll also be some silent wailing by many members of the. board who oppose reapportionment. They contend that under the Michigan constitution each township is entitled to one member on the county board of supervisors. That was the key pointinthe Michigan Supreme Court's ruling last April that put the brakes on reapportionment.

The 11 man board plan which the Clinton supervisors approved passed by a 15-7 vote. The affirmative vote. reflected only favoring the 11-man plan over' other alternatives, because most supervisors didn't want to reapportion. '

THE SEVEN-VOTE OPPOSITION to the plan was mainly over differences in population among the 11 districts in the county as set up under the reapportionment plan.

The proposed districts range in size from 2,795

in the Ovid district to 3,781 in District 10 in the southeastern-part of DeWitt Township. The average

.population of the 11 proposed district—according to the 1960 census—would be 3,452 persons.

If and when the l l -man board goes into effect, this is how It will be set up.

District 1: Duplain and Greenbush townships, population 3,411,

District 2: Essex, Lebanon and Bengal townships, population 2,975.

District 3: St. Johns south of the railroad and west of Clinton Avenue, plus all of Bingham Township, population 3,290.

District 4: St. Johns east of Clinton Avenue and all of the city north of the railroad, population 3,695.

District 5: Ovid Township, population 2,795. District 6: Victor, Olive and Riley townships,

population 3,636. District 7: Dallas and Westphalia townships, pop

ulation 3,505. District 8: Eagle and Watertown townships, pop

ulation 3,281.

District 9: City of DeWitt plus the parts of DeWitt Township north of Clark and west of Turner roads, population 3,868.

District 10: Precincts 2 and 5 of DeWitt Township, lying south of Clark and east of. Turner, population 3,781.

District 11: Bath Township, population 3,732.

get," finance committee Chairman Derrill Shlnabery of Green-bush Township said, "but it is the top amount that we can defend on the allocation board.

"The growth of counties and the services demanded by the people and the state are coming faster than i n c r e a s e s in valuation. This budget doesn't consider reapportionment and the institution of a new lower court -system, and if these come_ in in 1969 it can hit us real hard.

"In that respect this budget Is even more inadequate.*

THE F I N A L BUDGET for county spending during 1969 will be passed probably in September or October 1968. Adjustments in the figures between this proposal and the final budget will reflect the allocation board.decision and gfrier f e t o r ' s bety&eh how, and1

then. Shlnabery said most of the pro

posed department budgets are inadequate, and probably the most inadequate figure of all is $25,000 budgeted for c o n t i n g e n c i e s . Shinabery and other members of the committee said the figure should be three to five times higher.

These are the amounts proposed by the county for the various departments and fund expenditures during 1969; All are higher than the 1968 budget unless noted:

Other groups, however, said t h e y would c h e c k with t h e i r boards of directors of membership to see how much could be donated. All expressed a willingness to cooperate on a manpower basis.

ST. JOHNS CITY Atty. Bill Kemper, who attended last Tuesday's meeting both as a liason with the city commission and as a private citizen, explained the background of the pool situation to the persons present.

He noted that it had only been two weeks then since YMCA officials first approached the city with a tentative plan for operating the swimming pool. The pool program, and the entire city recreation program, had been cancelled for this summer by the city commission because of four defeats at the polls of taxation measures needed to run the city. An austerity budget is now in effect by the city.

The YMCA s a i d it w o u l d operate the swimming instruction program, consisting of five two-week courses, if the pool could be put in operational condition by June 7, and if water-heating equipment could be added to give the swimming season a longer "life.*

But necessary equipment additions and changes, coupled with a need to install new filters for the first time since the pool opened and painting of the pool was e s t i m a t e d to cost about $10,000 (including installation). In anticipation of a first-year operating deficit, another $2,500 was figured to take care of that possible cost.

The YMCA e m p h a s i z e d it

would assume no o p e r a t i o n a l deficit on the pool, and t h i s amount, if it does come to be, would have to be assumed by the city.

THE CITY, BECAUSE of its present fiscal crisis , told the YMCA and citizens it could not s p e n d t h e m o n e y f o r the necessary repairs and additions, nor could the city stand the cost of any deficit. Thus, the idea was turned over to the citizens of the community.

The city commission did enter into an agreement with the YMCA that they would lease the pool to the Y for the operation of the

JACK PATTERSON

Jack Patterson, 11, of East M-21, St. Johns, is going to Gettysburg, Pa., this weekend on an annual trip sponsored by the Automobile Club of Michigan for safety patrol y o u t h s from various communities of the state. Jack is a sixth-grader at S w e g l e s School. He'll be on the trip f r o m May 9 - 12, He was chosen from among 19 patrol-le rs at Swegles.

swimming p r o g r a m this summer. A May 10 deadline was established for the raising of necessary funds so that, if the money is raised, the YMCA will have time to plan its program here and there will be time to order and install the necessary equipment. "*

Exact costs of equipment and installation 'still aren't known, but the best estimates are that the equipment itself will run about $6,500. How much of the $2,500 figured for d e f i c i t insurance will be used won't be known, of course, until near the end of the swimming season.

"But we have to have a figure to go by," Dr Oatley pointed out, "and the YMCA has to be assured they won't have to take a loss on the pool operation. So $12,500 is the figure we're using, and I'm e n c o u r a g e d today about reaching that figure."

The operation of the swimming pool by the YMCA would be on a county-wide basis, with all youngsters having an equal opportunity to take lessons at identical rates. What they would be isn't known yet.

THE FUND-RAISING c a m paign is spreading out to other areas of the county, outside of St. Johns, including Fowler and DeWitt. The C l i n t o n County Board of Supervisors was contacted Monday for a contribution, but the p r o s e c u t i n g attorney ruled any contribution from the county would be illegal. The county also has its own "no money" situation.

While the $12,500 figure is a pretty healthy one to try to reach in 10 days, the Clinton C o u n t y Memorial Swimming Pool Committee remains confident. And, they point out, most of the money would be for equipment that will last for possibly 15 years, so it would be a long-range investment rather than one that would be gone after one year.

Contributions as of Tuesday noon have included: 1 at $1,000; 2 at $500; 1 at $300j 1 at $250; 4 at $200; 3, at $150; 17 at $100; and 5 at $50. The res t of the monies have been contributions of less than $50.

Recommend study of county-wide radio set-up

The civil defense committee of the Clinton County Board of Supervisors has recommended that a study of a county-wide communications system be made before any additional money is invested in radio equipment for the emergency operating center in the courthouse.

Chairman Gerald Lankford of DeWitt said the committee was not complaining about present equipment used by fire departments, sheriff and police or road commission, but they felt any expansion of the system might be more feasible under a single set-up.

The committee was studying plans under which the emergency operating center could beusedby all such agencies as a base of operations during a natural or man-made disaster. The EOC presently has' no radio equipment, and this Is deemed necessary In order to make it usable.

OFF BALANCE Give and take is a good creed

to live by — until the other fellow tries to do all the taking.

At the regular meeting of the board of road commissioners held last Friday, May 3, several a c t i o n s of importance were taken. •, j

Proposals were received for' stump and brush removal on slightly over 10 miles of road construction p r o j e c t s . These proposals called for complete removal and d i s p o s a l of all. stumps and brush in-' the road / right-of-way and leaving the area ready for g rad ing and construction. A low' price for the work of $9,795 was made by > Quality Tree Service of Owosso, and tills offer was accepted by the commission.

There was considerable discussion by the commission on , the continuing problem of sign t d e s t r u c t i o n throughout the county. This past weekend, for instance, several signs in the southeast part of the county were either* shot at or deliberately run over' and bent down with automobiles. Prompt police work on the part of the county sheriff's department located four of the offenders in this case. Incidentally, when it can be proven that an ind iv idua l damages or destroys a sign, we bill him for it and we do collect. Just r e c e n t l y a sign destruction spree cost a resident over $130, The commission decided to offer a reward of $50 for information i leading to the arrest and collection of .damages from anyone-/ who maliciously destroys county road signs and markers. This reward will be offered for atrial period to test its effectiveness as a deterrent.

In another action of the board, Roy Davis was appointed the com-.mission's representative on the governmental coordinating committee of the Tri-County Regional Commission.

By resolution, the commission decided to pay 15 per cent of the costs of construction work undertaken by any special assessment district that may be formed within the county. Standards lor suah construction is to conform to-ti those, standards set up in: .the' 1

"recently adopted plat 'act/"The commission will furnish the engineering services needed on any such construction, and the cost of this will be included in the total cost of the project. This action will benefit residents of subdivisions who decide to help themselves out of road construction p r o b l e m s by community action.

To repay sewer money VALLEY FARMS - DeWitt

T o w n s h i p o f f i c i a l s h a v e authorized Oliver Angell, clerk to return $142,000 to property owners who made payments on the sanitary sewers which have failed to materialize.

Last year voters gave their approval to selling more than SI million in bonds to be repaid at 5 per cent over a 39-year period. But the bonds failed to attract buyers as interest rates climbed above the 5 per cent mark.

The project was moved ahead in hopes the bond market would improve, but it was decided the wait was in vain and township officials officially closed out the proposed sewer plan.

The $142,000 in repayments will probably be made in July, Angell said.

The township is asking for guidance f r o m the M i c h i g a n Water Resources Commission in ways to proceed in starting a new sanitary sewer project. The commission, as well as the State Department of Health, vvarnedthe township of the danger resulting from the s e p t i c tanks in the heavily built-up southern sector of the township.

holds key to ue expansion

• Clinton County News

The possibility of forming a daytime i Little League was announced by Little League President Jack Downing last week, as he called a meeting of managers and coaches for next Monday evening.; •

j The meeting, for those officials, umpires and all other persons. Interested in helping in either the Little League or Pony League, will be at 8 p.m. at the Clinton County Athletic Club building on the corner of Railroad Street and Clinton Avenue.

The daytime Little League, 'Downing said, would dependupon how much interest is shown by adults who work night shifts but who would, be available during-the day to work with youngsters.

: Little League ages are 9-12, with Aug, 1 the cutoff' dales,. "and Pony League ages are 13-16.

DOWNING SAID the: six-team' Little L e a g u e and four-team Pony League would probably be able to expand this year if enough adult assistance Is available in the form of managers, coaches and umpires.

Teams are limbed to 15 boys, who are bolstered by new players chosen in the spring by managers following a series of tryouts. Team members stay ontnesame team until the "graduate" from Little League and then are replaced by a "draft" of new players at the tryouts.

Downing said the two league seasons will start around the

first part of June. Definite'dates for. .the Jtryouts and draft' and the league schedule will "be worked out fol lowing Monday night's meeting, .

Also to be decided is the I07 cations for competition. The St, Johns Jaycees are building several Little League diamonds south of Toiynsend Road oh property owned" by Bernard Feld-pausch, but Downing sa id a planting of grass last fall didn't catch hold, and the lack of a sufficient stand of grass this spring may prevent the use of the field there. •• . - r

Last year Little League games were played on a field located on Saylor-Beall Manufacturing Co. property on Scott Road north of Walker Street.

•Greece.. , Pastor Zikas' visit toSt.'Johns is of special interest to the local congregation. For several years

rthe mission in northern Greece has been supported as one of the church ' s benevolence projects. In the summer of 1962 arid again in 1963 Brian Waltz, son of Mr and Mrs Clarence Waltz, was one of a number of young people who went to Greece to participate in a work camp.

P a s t o r Zikas) was born in Turkey and repatriated to Greece at the close of the first World War. His education began in mission schools, of the American Boa rd of Commissioners for Foreign missions, and his training for the Christian -ministry was comple ted in the United States.

In 1930 he went to Northern Greece, Thrace and Macedonia, under the auspices of the American Board, the Congregational foreign mission agency, and was the p r i m a r y influence in the founding of numerous Evangelical churches in the small villages, arid town. During World War n, and the German occupation of Greece he was minister of the church at Berea in Macedonia and a focal point of Greek resistance to German indoctrination and later to the efforts of communism to subjugate Greece. He served as an interpreter between the' B r i t i s h and Greek leaders in the years immediately following the war; since which time he has been influential in both r e l i g i o u s and secular circles.

PRIMARILY HE is a Congregational minister, pastor of the Evangelical Protestant Church at Alexandroiipolisj and counselor to the lay and ordained leadership of the churches in the Evangelical A s s o c i a t i o n , of Thrace arid Macedoniav He is a continuing Congregationalist in faith and action, and since 1960 has had close relationship with the Fellowship of- the National Association of Congregational Churches. J

Pastor Zikas is visiting in the

REV PHIL ZIKAS •United States during April, May. and June of this year, speaking in churches on behalf of the total mission program of the Missionary Society.of the Congregational Christian Churches, which board now supports his work in the strengthening ofithe Protestant witness in his homeland. Pastor Zikas is fluent in English, Greek, Arabic, and several other languages.

His travels will take him to Congregational Churches in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont New Hampshire, Maine, Wiscons in , Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Kansas, Washington, California, Nebraska, and Iowa before returning to his work in Greece early in July.

WATCH FOR TURNING CARS

May is springtime in Michigan, a coming-alive time when the tulips bloom by the thousands in Holland and the blossoming orchards look like row after row of giant pink and white popcorn balls. .

The May events calendar leans heavily toward outdoor activities, highlighted by Holland's 39th annual Tulip Time and St. Joseph-Benton Harbor's 35th Blossom Festival.

Tulip Time is May 15-18 when Michigan's Netherlands breaks out in a profusion of colors with innumerable tulips and varieties, school girls in Dutch dress and wooden shoes, are a favorite

attraction and give several free performances daily.

Noted for their cleanliness, the Hollanders scrub the street, hold square dances and stage parades. Tulip Time visitors can tour a wooden shoe factory, a typical Dutch market and see the 12-story, 200-year old windmill, "DeZwaan," brought over from the Netherlands and re-assembled here. J

JUST DOWN THE* Lake Michigan shoreline from Holland is the St. Joseph-Benton Harbor Blossom Festival set for May 12-18. It opens with the t raditional blessing of the blossoms in one of the area orchards.

Twenty-nine lovely blossom queens, fashions, dancers and a Count Basle concert lead up to the May 18 Grand Floral Parade, the highlight of theweek.' Colorful floralfloats from around the state, numerous bands and celebrities make the parade one of southwest Michigan's biggest annual events.

Elsewhere around Michigan, canoe races will be held in Holly, Mount Pleasant, Lansing, Bear River and Linden and anyone wi* a wee bit of Scottish blood will enjoy ^the skirling of 20 bagpipe bands and kiltie dancers in the f i r s t Highland Festival and Games in Alma on May 25.

Two h i s t o r i c a l momentsin

Michigan's past will be re-enacted—the landing of Father Marquette at Sault Ste. Marie and the Indian massacre at F o r t Michilimacklnac.

The re-enactment of Marquette's landing at the_Soo 300 years ago will take place May 19 as part of the Soo's yearl o n g tricentennial celebration, and the Indians' 1763 Michili-mackinac takeover will be r e -staged May 30-June 2 In ^ the shadow of the Mackinac Bridge.

Fishermen look forward to May in Michigan, too, with the black bass season opening May 30 and the Bass Festival May 31-June 2 at Mancelona.

Eggs-protein food J J " -

at reasonable cost Tuesday By HELEN B. MEACH

Extension Home Economist

Springtime is eggtlme and May * 1 through mid-June has been pin

pointed to celebrate a Springtime Egg Festival.

In this space age of astronomical figures, eggs have joined the parade. Chickens cack led their way to laying 5.8 billion dozen eggs, or about 5 1/2 per cent more than in the previous year. So "eggs'' it is if you're interested in g e t t i n g a c o m p l e te protein food at a mos t r e a sonable cost. You'll a l s o ge t a food that is

. e a s i ly and completely digested to answer the needs of infants to oldsters.

Eggs are one of the easiest foods to cook, requiring a min-imun amount of time and cooking equipment . Nevertheless, there are hundreds of ways that eggs can be used to enhance your menu.

Eggs have been unusually low in price all year but now are a particularly good buy, having dropped in price since Easter.

Grade, size and price are the 1 actors to consider when buying

%ggs. Grade has to do with interior quality.

Grade AA is the best, followed by Grade A and Grade B. The grade will be clearly indicated on the carton.

SIZE IS DETERMINED BY weight. To meet federal standards, one dozen eggs must weigh 30 ounces or more to qualify as jumbo, 27 ounces or more as extra large, 24 ounces or more

as large, 21 ounces or more as medium, 18 ounces or more as small and 15 ounces or more as peewee.

Weight. of the total 12 eggs in the dozen is the measure. Often there may be several eggs that look smaller than the others in the package and tolerance is usually allowed for these if the weight of the dozen is up to requirement.

Strictly fresh eggs when hard cooked are difficult to peel. A small puncture, before cooking, above the air sack in the large end of the egg will help.

COLOR OF YOLK varies with the feed of the chicken. Color of shell varies with breed through brown shell eggs are rare in the marketplace. Color of shell does not affect the nutritive value of the egg.

To maintain ''quality ot eggs1"* after you purchase them, keep them refrigerated as they are required to do in retail stores in most states.

MANY OF THE fiGGS flooding tHe past Easter market are from quality controlled cold storage.

Here is a special egg idea, popular with the teen-age group, called "Twin Egg Chargers."

Split a think hamburger bun and cut a hole in each half large enough to hold 1 egg. Spread with butter or margarine, drop an uncooked egg in each half. Bake in slow oven about 15 minutes. Top with tomato slice and cheese. Place under broiler until cheese begins to brown. Serve with potato chips, cole slaw, o l i v e s and pickles.

Did you ever notice that a young fellow who has a lot of girls runnin' after him always marries the plainest lookln' one of the bunch.

Figures for both years include sales and earnings of National Grinding Wheel Co., Inc., which was acquired by Federal-Mogul on June ^16, 1967. For purposes Of comparison, per-share earnings for both years are after provision for $105,000 of preferred dividend payments in each quarter, although no preferred stock was In existence until 120, 000 shares were issued in June 1967 for the National Grinding Wheel Co. acquisition.

In his remarks to shareowners, MacArthur sa id that he was pleased to report than "an upward trend has been established, and although the effects were moderate in the first quarter, we are confident that the trend will accelerate through theibal-ance of the year".

The company anticipates earnings for the year will be approximately 5 per cent above 1967 levels, "but", according to Mac Arthur, "a major change in the general economy could effect this

forecast e i t h e r favorably or otherwise."

A major p o r t i o n of Mac Arthur's remarks concerned recent manufacturing improve ments, new p r o d u c t developments, and the changes talcing place in the aftermarket. Of particular importance, he cited the company's r e c e n t l y patented forging method for its potential for substantial cost savings and product improvement, and a new line of adaptor bearings and oil seals recently introduced to the marketplace by two of the company's divisions.

For the a f t e r m a r k e t , Mac Arthur said that the company has been in the process of bringing new sales concepts to this important area of company business to meet the changing patterns of the market.

Here's what this Michigan Week celebration is all about

• \

With 'Michigan — Land of Hospitality" the theme of Michigan Week this year, the Clinton County Michigan Week Committee has a number of suggestions for local clubs which might want to carry out a Michigan Week program.

Mrs Betty Jane Minsky, county chairman, said most of the ideas had been used by other communities in the past and were selected by state officials as ideal possibilities which would be workable in most communities.

Among them are: - COMMUNITY PRIDE DAY,

May 18: Check welcome signs to the community. Make certain they are in good repair. If none, this could be a club project. Give recognition to citizens whose contributions of property, money, etc. have made possible parks, libraries, museums, art centers and other facilities for better living. Use the day to climax a clean-up, paint-up, fix up campaign which could be carried on the week prior to Michigan Week. Place little containers in convenient locations. Plant flowers, trees, shrubs in parks, at street intersections or in barren places.

„ - SPIRITUAL.FOUNDATIONS DAY, May 19 : clergymen can get together to provide a community-wide interfaith program with clergymen of various faiths and mass choirs participating. Tours of religious historical landmarks could be arranged. Churches could agree on a time for joint observance of Spiritual Foundations Day, such as a moment of silent prayer at noon, giving thanks for God's Blessings to our state.

— GOVERNMENT DAY, May 20; Government careers could be subjects for school assembly programs. A get-together of retired public officials for an exchange of views on present gov

ernmental operations could be held. A group could arrange for display of photos, other materials and old equipment such as fire engines, -etc. which depict history of local government. A group could use the day to begin a program of preserving government artifacts and records of historical va lue for the community. A group could select and honor the community's friendliest public servant. Local or-ganzlations could honor government officials.

— OUR HERITAGE DAY, May 21: A group could kick off a program to locate, mark and record 50, 75 and 100 year old businesses, industries, institutions and homes in the area, similar to the centennial farm program. A group could make a display on the community's part in the Civil War. Another group could arrange for placement and dedication of historical markers at the first church, school, home, business, and similar buildings in the community. Fly the Michigan flag as a symbol of pride in our heritage especially on this day.

- OUR LIVELIHOOD DAY, May 22: Groups ' could honor the community's oldest enterprise, showing its contribution to local economy over the years. Honor the newest business or industrial enterprise. Arrange

New school aid bill enacted Governor Romney last week

signed into law the new state school aid program, designed to offer a long-range solution to the monetary crisis facing Michigan schools. The measure Is keyed to recognizing the needs of low valuation and inner city school districts.

Enactment of the bill made history by itself. Never before have Michigan schools been given this amount of much-needed time to effectively plan their programs and budgets for the coming fall. Knowing how much will be available at the early date also gives hope that teacher contract talks can be settled well in advance of school opening dates.

This action is made even more important because the bill Incorporates a comprehensive revision of the school aid formula in the record-high K-12 education appropriation.

The school aid program this year t o t a l s more than $752 million. This is an increase of some $60 million, or 19 per cent, over last year's general fund budget.

INCREASED SCHOOL aid will be provided to all-districts in Michigan. However, this bill allocates l a r g e r increases to poorer districts whose low property valuation requires more state aid for equal educational opportunity.

A major new $6.3 million program of special aid to inner city school in Detroit and other metropolitan centers Is included In the new law. This "middle-cities" plan will shift the emphasis of state aid more directly to classroom Instruction support, rather than extra-educational activities.

In add i t ion , significant increases are made available for improvements in school transportation and special education programs.

Operation ^jf

Country Corners 4 -H Club members had l i t t le trouble in f i l l i ng up their p ick-up trucks w i th l i t ter from along Hyde Road Apr i l 27. Dumping st i l l another basket and bag are Kathy Eastment, Ruth O a k ley, Betty 'Shinabery, Linda Waggoner and Robin Clark.

"Operation — Clean Up" project by Clinton County youth groups April 27 was considered .quite successful, according to John Aylsworth, extension 4-H youth agent who coordinated the total project. The community.beautification project consisted of clearing county roadsides of litter, bottles and junk discarded by thoughtless people. Twenty-five groups composed of 18 4-H clubs, 4FFAChapters, 2 FHA groups and 1 MYF group completed this community beautlfication project.

Final results from the group showed over 425 youths and 75 adults worked to clear over 200 miles of county roadsides of bottles, car parts, paper, junk and other trash. The groups reported that 65 pick-up loads of trash had been removed from the roadsides and deposited at county and township landfills. Over 1,000 returnable pop and beer bottles were found and redeemed by the groups. The number of no deposit beer and pop bottles found along the roadsides would account for many pick up loads of trash.

In addition to the many bottles and much paper found, other items picked up included a washing machine, sheets of tin roofing, an automobile axle with springs, many automobile tailpipes and mufflers, clothing items, electrical appliances, car tires and hubcaps plus an injured pigeon which is being cared for by one of the youths.

The removal of this Utter may prevent injuries to people and animals from stepping on broken bottles, prevention of cut tires to tractors when they are used to mow the roadsides, prevention of accidents by vehicles which may strike these articles along the road-

sides in addition to helping make our countryside more attractive.

The leaders contend the youths w e r e contributing t o w a r d a worthwhile community service project. As one 4-H l e a d e r stated, «The youth will think twice about t h r o w i n g items along the roadside after learning" how much time and effort it takes to clean it up." .

t h e groups did not realize how big the job was until they started to pick up the trash. Several groups reported they picked up a truck load of litter within a mile stretch in several places in the county. Most all the groups completed their assigned area on Saturday, April 27, and the others finished up their areas this past weekend.

Upon completion of their job, one group wrote, "Our group appreciated having the opportunity to participate in an o r ganized effort to help our community and county look clean and healthy. We feel it i s a worthwhile effort and should be continued at least so that the job would be easier than it was this time."

But some people apparently don't appreciate the workof these young people. N o - d e p o s i t beer bottles and cans already can be seen Jying along the roadsides cleaned by the youth. It takes only a little extra effort to dispose of the litter by placing it in a trash container instead of throwing it out the window.

The cooperation of the Clinton County Road Commission and township' officlals for providing facilities to dispose of thlslitter helped make "Operation Clean-Up" a successful project.

Civil defense

& you By CHARLES FROST

Clinton County Civil Defense Director

Since the beginning of the 1966 tornado season, the U.S, Weather Bureau has used the terms "tornado watch" and "tornado •warning". Tornado watch was selected b e c a u s e the word "watch" defines the action the public, as well as those connected with the local warning system, should take when there Is a threat that tornadoes may develop In their area,

A tornado watch is issued by the U.S, Weather Bureau for areas where tornadoes may occur during the next several hours. The average size of the watch area is approximately 100 miles wide by 300 miles long. It may be described as, so many miles either side of a line, from one point to another. The objective of the watch is to alert the public in the area covered, to the possibility of tornadoes,'and to advise them to be ready to take precautionary action if they hear or see one. Also, the time is given as, from let's say, 1p.m. to 6 p.m. This can mean that the frontal system is at the western side of the area and will move to the eastern side during that time period.

Once a tornado has formed and it's existence is known to the Weather Bureau, they then Issue a "tornado warning". This means that a tornado has actually been sighted or its presence has been detected by radar, and the area 'warned' is in the tornado's path. Persons in the path should immediately take safety precautions. The warning will indicate the location where the tornado was discovered and the area through which it is expected to move. These areas are usually defined by counties.

Cities and villages in these counties should sound their warning signals. The signal is to alert people who are not aware of the danger. Those who are aware should not need the signal, they should be ready.

The Weather Bureau does not claim to be infallible. They cannot always predict where tornadoes will occur, or in which way "they will move, becaus^.of sudden storm developments. The local ''spotting' service^ usually the Fire andPoliceDepartments,

Dear friends,

can trigger the alarm any time they feel- their community Is in danger. The Weather Bureau recommends every town and village to have its own reporting and warning s y s t e m to p rov ide optimum safeguard against the unannounced arrival of a tornado.

Some think that not much can be done to develop a warning system for 'the rural people. Farmers do have agood'weather sense'. Their operations depend so much on the weather and they usually listen to the forecasts. This doesn't mean a'neighborhood can't develop a 'grapevine' system. Church bells have been used. If your neighbors and you can develop a warning system for tornadoes, why can't it be used for national attack warning? Once the word is passed, your best source of information is a local radio or TV station.

Next week we'll have an article on the Home F a l l o u t Shelter returns. Any questions, anyone? Send them to the County C. D. office.

The coveted John Philip Sousa Award was presented to Lyn LeBlond at the'annual bands in review concert April 18. Also cited for her efforts this year was Kathy Pierson'who received a special service award.

Both girls have been extremely active their four years in the music program. Lyn has been a member of the symphonic band as first chair French h o r n , she p a r t i c i pated in the pit orchestra for musicals "Bye B y e Birdie," "Music Man" and this year's "Oklahoma," and s h e has b e e n an a c companist for

the Wilsonaires Wilsonettes, and solo and ensemble festivals. Besides being active in her concentrated music program, Lyn was the "Strutter," the twirler in the bright red uniform who led the marching band.

Receiving a special service award was a just reward for Kathy's hard-working e f f o r t s these four years . Her list of credits includes being a flutist in the orchestra for three years and the band six years , teaching flute lessons to beginners, playing in the pit orchestra for the m u s i c a l s *Music Man" and "Oklahoma," and like Lyn she has been an accompanist for solo and ensemble festivals.

THE THEME FOR the niEht to be remembered, the junior-senior prom, will be the 'Days of wine and Roses." The prom will take place. Saturday, May 25, and suggestions iiave been submitted to a committee as to

. _ _ . \

what the decorations will be. Some of the classes usually

heavily attended by brighteyed seniors were virtually empty last Friday, April 26, for the Science Club took its annual trip to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. The chemistry and physics students who trayeled on the trip left St. Johns just after the sun rose in the early morning sky and did not get back until 11:30 p.m. Some of the special exhibits in the museum which caught the students' interest were the captured German Submarine and the coal mine.

The Girl 's Athletic Assn. completed their active season of basketball on Thursday, April 18. This was the night when the senior girls played the junior girls. The game ended in a complete and absolute victory for the juniors, sweeping the seniors 21-13. The club is now * planning on possibly taking a weekend camping trip -in the near future.

In the planning stage for next year is the formation of a Medical Careers Club under the d i r e c t i o n of Mrs Gertrude Buehler. This type of organization has been i n t r o d u c e d to Rodney B. in past years but one new idea will be featured and that is the club will be open to all grades 9-12.

.BY DIANE HUHN P-W High

On April 29, 30 and May 1 a few students and one teacher attended the. Citizenship Conference at Camp K e t t near Cadillac. The students who attended were Julie Smith, John Fedewa, C a r o l George, Bill Freund, and Bill Bengel, along with Mr Pilmore.

At the conference there were many schools from throughout M i c h i g a n . Groups f o r d i s cussions were split up i n t o smaller g r o u p s , and many t o p i c s w„ e r e d i s -^ cussed "t h a t~ d e a l t with; schools and the:, attitudes of. students and teachers. ' The groups also learned about civil rights, because different students from the riot-stricken areas were present.

Various other topics were discussed throughout the three-day period, and these students have broght back to P-W a feeling of

learning about the areas and schools in Michigan that do need help, and how we can improve.

The FFA went to Michigan State UniversltyMay4tocompete in nine different areas of agriculture in the state spring conference.

The seniors received their announcements on May 3. Their caps and gowns have arrived also. The Junior-Senior Banquet will be held on May 15.

THE NEW STUDENT Council representatives for a two-year period are as follows: freshman, Richard Harr and a tie between B r e n d a Manning and Theresa Kohagen (voted on later); sophomore, Nancy Bengel and Alan Smith; and Junior, Mary Ann Droste and Roy Simon.

FHA has voted-Connie Theis and Roseann Stump to run for

' regional office for nextyear.The president, vice-president,, secretary, and treasurer of f ices will be voted on May 14. They will decide who will attend the FHA Leadership Workshop in June at Michigan State University.

A novel approach

Girl track managers keep

athletes running harder

Fulton athletes have ups, downs

By MIKE GALVACH News Staff Writer

Track Managers Wantedl This plea was published in the

Wilson Torch at Rodney B. ,Wil-son Hlghf^Scho'ol on the eve*>on the trick' fseason, but with 'one*' stipulation — girl managers were preferred.

Immediately five girls, perhaps somewhat apprehensive, offered their services to head track Coach Frank Rosengren.

Seniors Dottie Jenkins, Diana Jones, and Cindy M y e r s (exchange student), and sophomores Marcia Galvach and Jamie Bar-gar applied for the job.

Why would a girl take an interest in such an endeavor?

Track manager Diana Jones stated that since her brothers were involved in the sport and she had some free time after school, the decision wasn't hard. "We all like what we are doing," was the general consensus of the girls. "It 's fun to watch young'trackmen cieve'lopandpro-gress as the season wears on.*

The trackmen's point of view — besides that of being pleasantly surprised — is that they find the girl managers quite a novelty. One additional school of thought expressed by one fellow is, that he feels the guys may try a little bit harder to do a better job rather than suffer any humiliation in front of feminine eyes.

THE DUTIES OF the female manager entails numerous jobs but the one of greatest importance is 'recording data for the coaches. At practice sessions the track team usually will divide up into smaller groups, -each group with a manager and a stop watch/The girls record the times run by each trackman on data sheets, thus provldingaway of checking to see if any p ro gress or decrease in the time is being /made after running the specific distance.

After the practice sessions, manager Diana Jones collects all the data sheets and figures out each'trackman's a v e r a g e time.

During the meets the girls, after traveling right along on the same bus, will record the unofficial times of the St, Johns' . t r a c k m e n , thus providing information to see if the times are decreasing at the meets.

Even a married woman is entitled to her own private affairs.

-Once the phone rings for the lady of the house, it works like Pavlov's bell. The whole gang (including the dog) decides they're hungry. They swarm around the kitchen noisily feeding their canine appetites while they're whetting their appetites for gossip, and that's the end of mother's privacy.

Even if you don't go for the idea of not being in on Mom's conversations, she's still got a right to say what she wants without a clammering, chomping audience around,.

Make a special sacrifice for Mother's Day. Give up on eavesdropping forever and get her

an extension phone for the bedroom. Far away from the kitchen. And far away from

the kiddies. One call to your General Telephone business

office takes care of the whole thing. We play up the gift idea by sending out a'mlniatuVe toy phone with a gift card first. Just tolet her know the real-phone is on its way.

Leaving her to her own private affairs can make her feel like that old, used-to-be, single, independent self again.

That's something every mother needs. Even if it's only for a couple of minutes a day,

Harvest alfalfa early, increase milk production Early cut alfalfa can be worth

a dollar a day per cow in extra milk production, according to Michigan State University research.

An MSU study of 25 central Michigan dairy operations showed that cows produced 67 pounds of milk per day when fed alfalfa harvested May 25 — 23 pounds more than cows fed alfalfa harvested June 20, So cutting alfalfa early — before June 10 — can earn a dollar a day per cow in milk production more than a late-cut crop.

Nutritive value increased with

a 10 per cent reduction in leaf loss for early harvested alfalfa, according to MSU dairy specialists. Early harvesting, reduced rain damage and proper harvesting methods help to keep leaf loss at a minimum.

Expenses can be cut by feeding early harvested alfalfa hay-lage.

ilt would cost $10 per ton of hay to replenish the energy and protein value lost from a ton of hay by delaying harvesting 20 days, MSU dairy authorities say.

N. US 27 & French Rd. ST. JOHNS Ph.224-4661

Nearly nine out ol 10 farmers voting In a nationwide poll conducted by Farm Journal magazine over the last 40 days believe that they should Join farm bargaining associations to obtain better prices from processors and buyers.

Nine'out of 10 also want Congress to create a legislative climate that would allow farmers to use bargaining power on their own-behalf.

Nearly 70 per cent of those voting favored holding farm products off the market to try to win higher prices and get processors to sign long-term contracts.

More than 60 per cent opposed a plan whereby the government would certify farm bargaining associations and require the processors and handlers to bargain with them. And 67 per cent voted against having farm prices and production determined by a government board made up of farm, processor, and consumer representatives.

Nearly eight out of 10 opposed the present law which authorizes the secretary of agriculture to void farm bargaining agreements if the government feels that they unduly enhance prices.

THESE RESULTS WERE revealed this week in the May issue of Farm Journal. The magazine printed a list of 19 farm bargaining choices in its March issue. By last week,

more than 12,500 readers responded—the vote reported in

the May issue is based on 5,000 representative returns from active farmers and the results computed In proportion to Farm Journal's circulation in each of its six regional editorial editions.'

Results printed in the magazine are shown by differences in age, income, region, and membership in the four major farm organizations; Farm Bureau,Farmer's Union, Grange, and National Farmers Organization.

Farm Journal claims that this is the largest such survey ever undertaken on the nationwide sentiment of farmers toward farm bargaining. The magazine also stated that the results are highly indicative of how farmers, in general, feel. However, Individual findings cannot be taken as precise measurements as some readers may have voted because of strong feelings for or against certain of the 19 bargaining choices listed. But because several of the choices were favored or opposed so overwhelmingly by all those voting, there can be little question where farmers, in general, stand on major bargaining options.

The magazine also added that they were surprised at the size of the response. Experienced staff members anticipated anywhere from a few hundred to possibly four or five thousand replies.

In an editorial in the same May issue, the magazine said that It Interpreted the survey results to mean that the nation's farmers favored bargaining that included seven procedures:

1) Programs would be farmer inspired instead of arising from political compromises in Congress. 2) Plans would be flexible so that if a program failed farmers could vote it out quickly. 3) Farm prices and income would come from the market; farmers would relylessondirectpaymentsfrom the government."4) Farmers would elect their own commodity representatives to run their programs. 5) Farmers, instead of the governmentwoulddecldehowmuchfreedomthey would give up for the gain they hope to achieve. 6) Program choices that farmers would vote on would be more realistic than typical government-held referendums in the past. 7) Farm pricing would be an exciting, fast-moving affair with commodities vying with each other to see who could come up with the best program.

The editorial concluded by saying, "We hope that official Washington will take the cue. Politicians have long despaired that farm programs are nothing but trouble; and they have complained that farmers never 'get together.'Well, here's a chance to let farmers wrestle with their own problems. That's what farmers want—and they are remarkably together, regardless of farm organization membership, commodity, age, income or section."

Results of the survey are being distributed to members of Congress, farm organization leaders, and all presidential candidates.

Corn harvest plans start with planting

Fowler youth wins

Farm Bureau stipend

Corn planting time is not too early to make plans for harvesting, conditioning, and storing the crop.

C. Ray Hoglund, agricultural economist, and Robert Maddex, agricultural engineer at Michigan State University, say the revolution taking place in corn harvesting methods can cause grain growers harvest headaches If they do not prepare in advance.

The shift from the one- and two-row pickers to the large field shellers or combines leaves farmers with thousands of bushels of wet corn that must be dried before it can be successfully stored.

There are several alternatives. One is hauling it to the elevator and taking a discount based on moisture and possibly waiting in line for hours to unload. Another possibility is a farm drying unit. If the corn is to be fed to livestock on the farm, silos can be used to store high-moisture corn.

HOGLUND SAYS farmers with less than 5,000 bushels of corn to dry seldom find it profitable to invest in corn drying equipment. Per bushel operating costs, to say nothing of initial investment, run much higher for the small system than one in use for a longer period of time.

Each of the several systems — in-storage drying, batch-in-bin drying, portable bags, continuous flow — all have their merits. Maddex suggests that farmers considering any of these drying systems get complete information before making a decision.

Also to be c o n s i d e r e d are changes in planting equipment which may affect the type of machine needed to harvest the

FOWLER-Kenneth I.Koenigs-knecht, 20, of R-2 Fowler, is winner of the 1968 Marge Karker Farm Bureau Women's scholarship. Announcement of his selection was made by Mrs Jerold Topllff of Eaton Rapids, state Women's chairman.

The Clinton County youth plans to enter Michigan State University next fall, as a junior, to major in farm marketing management or in animal husbandry.'

He is the second oldest in a family of six boys and two girls, children of Mrs Viola Koenigs-knecht and the late Julius Koen-igsknecht. Since their father's death two years ago, the sons have operated the 289-acre farm, with their mother serving as farm manager and records-keeper.

Deadline on soybean, corn insurance near

Earl Wilson, state director of Federal Crop I n s u r a n c e , announced that May 10 is the final date for farmers to make application for protection on corn and soybeans for 1968. A closing date for applications is necessary because protection attaches to an insured crop at the time it is planted.

It is estimated by the U.S. . Geological Survey that the rivers and streams flowing from the United States alone discharge 225 million tons of dissolved solids and 513 million tons of suspended sediment annually into the seas.

I want to remind soybean producers that they cannot substitute soybeans fgr feed grain this year and earn price support payments under the feed grain program.

This change from the 1967 program reflects the prospective soybean supply situation. Two successive record soybean crops in 1966 and 1967 have resulted in adequate supplies of soybeans. I n d i c a t i o n s are that soybean

As of Nov. 30, 1967, the Commodity Credit Corp.'s investment in soybeans totaled a little over $333 million on nearly 137 million bushels. This exceeds the investment on Nov. 30, 1966, which was nearly $225 million or a little less than 91 mi l l i on bushels.

THERE HAS BEEN a steady increase in production the last 25 years. In 1942, 187.5 million bushels were produced and in

1967, 972.7 million bushels were' produced.

While soybean producers have increased their acreage each' -year it has been hard for them to increase" the yield per acre. Fertilization continues to be a * great challenge in the quest for < higher yields. At low fertility' levels, soybeans respond similarly to corn and other crops. However, at high fertility levels,. other factors seem to set the yield ceiling* Present varieties -do not show great differences in t their response to fertility. A lot of research will have to be done to find what factors are holding yield down.

Farmers are doing a better. job of managing their land and labor r e su l t ing ' in some increased yields. Almost half our 30 soybean p roduc ing states made or equaled record yields in 1967. The United States average was nine-tenths of a bushel less per acre than the high of 25,4 , bushels set in 1966. Out of the first nine ranking states in production in 1967, only I l l i n o i s made a record. The top nine states account "for 80 per cent of the United States production.

Our county has been increasing its acreage of soybeans. In 1964 we h a r v e s t e d about 15,400 a c r e s , in 1966 about 27,000 acres. The average yield dropped in that period from nearly 24 bushels per acre to a little over 20 bushels per acre,

IN 1967 SOYBEANS ranked^ third in total value of production among UnitedStates crops.Farm value of both the 1966 and 1967 soybean crops is estimated at" around $2.5 billion compared with around $1 billion in the late 1950's. Soybeans achieved the title of No. 1 dollar - earner among United States agricultural exports with the 1965 crop, and the 1967 crop is expected to retain that position. Exports of soybeans and soybean products are expected to exceed $lbillion in fiscal 1968.

The 1968 crop national average support price for spybeans-.isi-$2.5i0.p,Qr;b\ishei, the, same lêl" asior i966 and 1967.

There are no acreage allotment or acreage controls for soybeans.

We hope soybean producers have a good fall to harvest their beans, as many were unable to harvest their beans last year due to the wet weather.

its future. We seem to have discontent because we do not all agree on the same ideas on how to make this a better community. Yet, to all agree on the same idea is cont ra ry to our American way of life.

THE PEOPLE OF St. Johns do not need unity on any one idea. We need all the ideas that can be thought of. What we need is unity in spirit. The spirit to make our community a better place in which to live. A thousand ideas with one, spirit, the spirit to improve our community no matter what, this is our greatest need.

Until we forget our grudges and prejudices, and unite in one spirit, and only until then, will we begin to bring back to our city the pride and community togetherness needed to improve not only our community, but the relations between individuals.

PERSONAL PREJUDICE AND grudges against a man or his ideas are what can, and will, hold back any project. When we can override our grudges and prejudices, incorporate the many ideas, and unite in a community spirit to make this community a better community, then and only then, will we accomplish the thing we believe we all want; a place to live, work,

and do business in. As Carroll 's quotation goes; "The time

has come," so has the time come for the people of the city of St. Johns. It 's time to unite in one spirit , to forget grudges and prejudices, to incorporate the many good ideas into one main-line of thought. Let 's m ake St. J o h n s the t y p e of c i t y of which we can live in withjpride.

RAMBLIN' with Rink By LOWELL G. R1NKER

A couple of news s t o r i e s floated across our desk the other day, and we thought they might interest avid television fans.

SOMEWHERE AT SEA - The USS Seaview is bound for her home por,t after its first uneventful cruise since the giant, futuristic submarine was commissioned some years ago.

Admiral Nelson andCapt. Lee Crane frankly admitted they were baffled by the quietness oi the cruise and expressed some concern that the mission of the Seaview might be phased out if there develops no new crises on the next voyage to the bottom of the sea.

What makes the cruise all the more newsworthy was the presence on board of a group of eight scientists from several free nations of the world, and not one of them turned out to be a weirdo or an alien from outer space.

THE VOYAGE WENT so' smooth, in fact, that several of the crew reported experiences of motionless-sickness caused by lack of pitching and rolling during weekly crises.

Only two minor incidents were reported. Chief Sharky forgot to fasten his seat belt and suffered a nasty crack on the head when he hit the windshield of the flying sub as it dove into the water following a pleasure flight to the Hawaiian Islands,

And just before leaving their station to return , to port, the Seaview crew had to Jetison several tons of extra wiring In order to gain sufficient buoyancy to surface/Usually, Capt. Crane explained*, the wiring is needed, to repair circuitry that pops and explodes during emergencies" aboard the Seaview. There just was no instance of thai on this voyage, he said.

NEW YORK - The secretary of the Impossible Missions Force in Washington has disavowed any knowledge of a purported attempt by members of his organization to overthrow a smugg l ing ring working secretly on the New York waterfront.

The denial came after a published newspaper storyandpicture in a New York paper showing Phelps, Cinnamon, Barney,

Rollin and Willie tied up in a Brooklyn hotel room. The story and pictures had been sent to the newspaper in a take-off on the "Bonnie and Clyde" publicity attempt by the daring smugglers.

The story, a p p a r e n t l y extracted from Phelps with use of truth serum, told of an almost complete bo tch ing of their assignment by the usually-thorough and precise team.

The "impossible mi s s ion" was bad luck from the very start. It seems Phelps suffered a bad burn on the hand when the tape recorder he was listening to self-destructed before the message was completed, and the resulting fire burned up accompanying^ photographs.

With such a bad start, Phelps and his IMP force had only the faintest ideas of what they were trying to do. Rollin got mixed up add tried to impersonate a smuggler using J. Edgar Hoover's voice; Barney wired up an elevator wrong and when he tested it the thing short-circuited and plunged two floors, spraining his ankle and alerting the s m u g g l e r s ; and Willie couldn't lift a suitcase of precious gems and lost his balance, falling down a stairwell where he was subdued by the smugglers; and Cinnamon was recognized by one of the smugglers who had seen her on a Sunday 'late-evening suspense show.

The IMF secretary, in disavowing any knowledge .of the activities, said reruns will be mandatory now, until the IMF can get this thing straightened out.

Consumer protection from

fraud handled in Lansing

Victims of con-men and shady business operations will find the consumer protection division of the attorney general's office anxious to learn of the swindle. There is a good chance that the victim's money may be returned in the process of investigation.

The division is staffed by two attorneys, an accountant, a field Investigator, and clerical personnel. Its sole responsibility is to fight the "fast buck" operator. Working closely with local prosecutors, the office acts upon complaints of citizens who feel they were "taken" by a fraudulent scheme or a questionable business practice.

Unsuspecting consumers may be defrauded in any number of ways, and new rackets spring up as old ones are eliminated. Some involve only a few dollars while others run into thousands. Most, but not all, use a "something for nothing" appeal to entice the consumer. Older people, many on fixed incomes , are especially vulnerable to the con games.

ATTY GEN FRANK Kelley points out that most retailers are honest and ethical. They make every effort to keep customers satisfied and adjust complaints. Respectable businessmen are also concerned with shady operators, and realize that the unsatisfactory performance of one company may injure an entire industry.

One such racket involves a "free aluminum siding" offer. The homeowner is approached by a well-dressed man, usually driving an expensive car, and told that his house has been selected for "Advertising purposes.'

The homeowner need only sign four papers: a credit check to make sure the individual Is "respectable" enough to merit the offer; an authorization to* let the company show the outside of the home to future prospects; an agreement to bind any new owners of the home, If sold within 60 months, to the show-authorization, and a final paper which ways the homeowner is satlslfed with the- deal and "appreciates" the offer.

The papers are c l e v e r l y

folded and stapled. The only paper which is as represented is the top sheet applying for a credit check. The other three: a mortgage, a promissory note and a "completion form" which specifies that the work Is satisfactory.

Once the papers are signed, the "official" immediately sells the mortgage to a finance company. Workmen arrive to install the siding the next morning, and within a few days the homeowner finds he is in debt at a cost much higher than a reputable firm might have charged.

TAKE A DAY TO THINK about the offer before accepting it, the attorney general suggests. Most confidence men pressure their victims into signing something "right now," before they have the chance to think and check out the offer.

There are many sources which consumers may use to verify the reputation of a company: chambers of commerce, better business bureaus, city hall, local prosecutors, even friends and neighbors. The consumer division will check their files for consumer complaints. - Consumers who feel they were victimized are urged to call the attorney general so the complaint can be investigated. Often, a single letter from the division will bring a satisfactory conclusion.. Sometimes court action is necessary.

A SAFE CAR WILL probably be built, according to Chrysler Corp's chief engineer, Roy C. Haeusler, if what is meant by "safe" is a car in which no one Will be injured to any degree in any co l l i s i on , rollover or accident.

However, cars are being designed which are "more forgiving" of driver error, he said. "If better car design still does not enable avoidance of the inattentive or drunk driver who... crosses the center line into opposing traffic, then better design may reduce ,the seriousness of the injury in the ensu ing accident."

Safety is a relative condition,

he noted, and many of the most elaborate safety devices are of little value unless the occupants

BY ELMER E. WHITE Michigan Press Assn.

of the car use them. Some safety features, such as interior padding, safety glass, and energy-absorbing steering columns dc not require driver or passenger cooperation. Others do.

Haeusler suggests a six-point check before putting the automobile in gear: adjust the driver's seat, lock doors, adjust inside and outside mirrors, check Instruments and controls, fasten seat belts, and check for pedestrians.

farm problem Dear Editor:

In 1966 a farmer with a feed grain base of 60 acres, with an average yield of 83 bushels could divert 50 per cent of his base. Twenty per cent of this, or 12 acres, would have received no payment. The additional acres diverted, or 18 acres, would have received the high rate of diversion payment of $55.19 per acre. Diversion payment would have been $993.42. He wouldhavebeen eligible for price support on 30 acres at $24.90 per acre making a payment of $747. The total payment for 1966 would have been permitted to plant 30 acres of corn.

made on 50 per cent of the base or 30 acres x $24.60 equals $738.00. Twenty per cent diversion, or 12 acres would be required to earn the price, support payment. There would be no payment for the diversion of the 12 acres and the total payment would be the $738 for price support.

The total loss to this Gratiot farmer in 1967 In feed grain was 48 acres that the farmer was forced to raise because of no diversion on the large acreage. Multiply 48 acres by 82 bushels times 46 cents, the difference between the price of corn in 1966 of $1.20 a bushel and 74 cents a bushel that the farmer received in 1967 is 3,936 bushels times 46 cents equals $2,361.60, plus the difference of $1,002.40 lost in diversion payments equals $3,346.00 because we lost money on corn that produced 100 bushels per acre when expenses were paid in 1967.

$3,336.40 - $1,740.40 equals the amount of $1,596,00 loss in 1967 on this acreage.

This is a radical change in the farm picture from the Kennedy administration as to the Johnson destruction of agriculture.

from the HOPPER

By Steven Hopko

For the past year or so, the nation' has been swinging to and fro as the men in Washington tried to decide on whether or not 'the people of the United States should be hit with a tax increase.

When this tax increase was first proposed by the President it was to be a isix percent surtax. As the haggling over the tax ebbed and flowed in Congress, the amount of the tax increased to ten per cent.

CONGRESS ASKED THAT a spending cut be made by the President before they wouldpass the tax. The President countered

' that Congress was blackmailing to prevent action on the tax in-

4crease. Analysts and e c o n o m i s t s

stated that a tax increase was necessary for economic stability in the' face of the balance of payment problems. So it continues, but, if you're betting against a tax increase, you had better have your money ready and waiting. It will come, if it hasn't by >the time this hits the printers,

COKC-JlfiSS HAD ASKED that the budget be cut by four billion dollars before they would consider the tax increase. In federal monev talk, four billion is a drop in the bucket^ whether it be oaken or galvanized.

Actually it wouldn't be to hard . •to whack four billion off the budget. All they would have to do is to do what they are asking the people to . do. Conserve your spending. J

WHERE CONGRESS mightlook to see where they might be overspending is their own backyard. Re — the defense department.

It seems that the defense department asked for a bid on 240,000 M16 rifles. Three bids were received. General Motors

bid $56 million, Harrington and Richards bid $42 million and the Maremont Co. bid $36 million. Harrington and Richardson and Maremont certified by the Pentagon as being technically capable of M16 production for Viet Nam, while G e n e r a l Motors was termed as having only a potential for the job.

WITH THE BIDS and the Pentagon certifications itwouldseem to be a simple matter of awarding the contracts to produce the rifle and conserve our dollars. But, you guessed it. It didn'twork out that way.

The contract was split between GM and Harrington and Richardson. GM will p roduce 120,000 M16 at a cost of $31 million. Harrington and Richardson will" produce the other 120,000 at a cost of $24 million. Total cost for the 240,000 M16 split as it was will total$54 million dollars. This.is $18 million more than Maremont Co. bid for the whole works. Actually, Maremonts bid for the 240,000 was only $5 million more than what the defense d e p a r t m e n t will pay for GM making only 120,000 rifles.

Sen. George McGovern of South Dakota stated that Colt Industries, which still produce the M16 under the original Pentagon contract, turns out the riflefor$104 each. The Harrington and Richardson version will cost $250 each, and the GM price is $316. Maremont Co. which was not even in the running would have produced the rifle for $150 each.

Of course, if four billion is a drop in the bucket, the 18 million that could have been saved on this bidding is an even smaller drop. But, as everyone knows you have to start somewhere when you try to conserve money and to me an 18 million start on four billion is quite a start.

A National Roll Call for all Veterans of World War I, commemorating its Golden anniversary has been r e q u e s t e d , according to Coral Hammond, Commander of Lansing Barracks #235, Veterans of .World War 1.

The purpose of the Roll Call is to compile a complete listing of all veterans and widows of World war I Veterans still living in the Clinton County area.

Many veterans, and widows of veterans, are not aware of the many benefits they are eligible to receive, because of the number of changes being made in veterans' legislation. These benefits may inc lude : V e t e r a n ' s pension, widow's pension, hospitalization, r e s t home care, and o t h e r s . There are approximately two million World War I Veterans still living. Many of the benefits apply to all veterans.

World War I Veterans, are asked to send their name, address, age, branch of service, and marital status. Widows of World War I Veterans are asked to send husband's name andser-vice record to C o r a l M.'Hammond, Commander, 324 Dunlap St., Lansing, Michigan. 48910,

$5,500 from Methodists here to aid Honduras school

Schults speaks at Ovid-Elsie Robert 'schults, candidate for

State Representative of the B7th district spoke recently to the Ovid-Elsie Teachers Association. In his remarks, Schults stated, "real estate and personal property have been taxed to the limit and additional taxation for School operation on either the state or local level is not the answer for additional educational financing." "Possibly," he continued, *a certain percentage of the state income tax could be set aside or earmarked for local school operation. As an example," he cited, "the possibility of earmarking one-half of one percent of the. estimated 1968 state income tax for education would result in an approximately $56,000,000, If this solution could be utilized," he said, "these funds could be diverted to the local districts for their express, use in educational purposes,"

"Strong words alone do not make meaningfulpolicy,"he said, *They must be backed by both a will and a means that are equally strong. Thus a collection of statements cannot convey their true perspective unless they are realized and qualified by a positive course of action," Stating the solution he offered was not a •complete answer, he felt it is a, s t a r t in the right .direction of positive action.

The "Low Down" . 'From th«

'Congressional Record By Joe Crump

A cheok for $5,500 from the congregation of St. Johns First Methodist Church to the Michigan Partners of the Alliance for Progress will go a long way toward closing the gap between the rich nations and the poor.

The cash' gift, presented at the Partners' annual meeting last week , will in fact finance a large share of the cost of a new school building in .Belize, British Honduras,

Rev Harold Homer, pastor of the First Methodist, presented his congregation's gift, and the Partners will send It on to the Wesley School.

BRITISH HONDURAS is Mich-_ igan's partner country in Central America, adopted two years ago to provide assistance of all kinds on a people-to-people basis.

Since then, Michigan citizens and organizations have been contributing both time and money to the development of this soon-to-be independent nation of 112,000 people.

Rev Mr Homer is no exception. And he blames—or credits— another St. Johns resident, Dr Eugene Friesen.of R-4, St. Johns for suggesting where the money could go. It came to First Methodist from an estate settlement,

Dr Frlesen traveled to Belize in January with six other Michigan citizens to conduct a conference on "teaching the handicapped" for 800 elementary and secondary teachers there.

Enchanted with both thepeople and the potential of this sunbaked Caribbean coast land, he Invited the pastor-over for a slide show.

Rev Mr Homer says he couldn't help thinking how much good the money could do in Belize. A shortage of t e a c h e r s , ove r crowding and lack of equipment exist, in almost every school.

Projectors and globes are almost n o n e x i s t e n t andlibrary shelves nearly bare.

When presented with the idea, Rev Mr Homer's congregation voted to add another $500. Their gift will finance more than half the cost of constructing a new school building at the Wesley School,

Dr Frlesen himself is now \ more involved than ever in the Partners, His enthusiasm rubbed off on colleaguesat the Veterans Administration Hospital in Battle Creek where he serves as a psychologist, . WITH FEDERAL approval, the hospital adopted the Mental Hospital in Belize and will launch its program of assistance by sending a team of six staff specialists, including Dr Frlesen, for a visit this month. They depart May 18.

Traveling with them will be the man who originally lit the , spark of service, Dr John Jordan, a Michigan State University professor of Special Education.

Dr Jordan is chairman of the

&2 LOOKING It)

Michigan P a r t n e r s subcommittee' on special education and rehabilitation. He planned the wrokshops at the Be l i ze Teacher Conference in January and recruited Dr Friesen for his team.

It was Dr Jordan's evaluation of special education needs in British Honduras that effected a major reform there,.

Following his report, the government decided to appropriate funds for a school for mentally retarded children, the first fa

cility of its kind in the entire country.

In the area of education, Michigan citizens have raised funds for 12 scholarships to Michign universities, and next fall seven new ones will be awarded—five to two-year community colleges.

British Honduras has complete internal Independence but Great Britain still manages its defense and foreign affairs. Total independence is anticipated in the near future, and the country will probably be known as Belize,

Summer hours for the Information Center at Big Rock Point nuclear plant at Char levo ix , Mich., calls for the center to be open every day from 8 a,m. to 5 p.m., starting May 1 and continuing through October. More than 63,000 persons visited the • center In 1967. Consumer s Power Company expects I t s 500,000th visitor sometime in late May or e a r l y June. The center first opened in 1961 and Is believed to have hosted more visitors than any other similar center in the United States.

Truth-ih-car-sales' legislation proposed

Prospects are prone to suspect the speedometer reading on a used car. Technically, they are referring to the odometer reading, the mechanism that records the number of miles traveled to date.

Senator William" Proxmlre (Wis.) would do something about a situation where caveat emptor (Let the buyer beware) is all too common in the. sale of used cars and trucks. He placed this information in the Record.

"Last spring I Introduced proposed legislation providing that motor vehicles sold or shipped in interstate commerce be equipped with tamperproof odometers to insure the buyers of used cars that the auto mileage that was recorded on a given car's odometer was accurate.

There is no doubt in my mind that much of the uncertainty confronting the used car buyer would be removed if he could rely on the mileage shown on a car's odometer as being absolutely accurate. In view of the current vogue for 'truth bills', we might call this a 'truth-in-car-sales' proposal.

"SIMILAR PROPOSALS have been passed on the state and local levels, and just recently a resolution endorsing my bill, S. 1621, as approved by the New York State Automobile Dealers, Inc., came to my attention. This group pointed out, with sound reasoning, in my estimation, that state and loca l laws and regulations will simply result in a welter of different approaches to a problem that is national in scope . . ,

"I ask unanimous consent that the resolution be printed in the Record." (The condensed resolution follows):

Whereas, there seems to be a growing trend in local legislative bodies^ and by certain local

i administrators to consider laws or regulations regarding odo-metersj either by new legislation or under powers p r e v i o u s l y granted in prior legislation and

Whereas, a number'of other states and local associations in addition to NADA later adopted the same or similar resolution's with no apparent success, and

Whereas, United States Senator Proxmire of Wisconsin has, Introduced a bill S.1621 in the 90th Congress which provides that motor vehicles shipped In

commerce shall be with tamper-proof

inter-state equipped odometers.

Now therefore be it resolved, that the New York State Automobile Dealers, Inc.,-. . .endorse and support - Sen. Prox-mire's aforesaid bill, S.1621, and urge that NADA (National Automobile Dealers Assn. support and take the necessary steps to help secure passage of this bill into law, thereby making it unnecessary for local and state legislative or governing bodies or officials to be concerned with odometers or laws, ordinances, or regulations pertaining thereto . , .

* * A GRASSROOTS COMMENT

A resolution adopted by the NADA, or a local organization, has its merits, but the introduction of Senate Bill S.1621 is something else again.

Reputable automobile agencies and used car dealers welcome legislation that will protect their reputation for honest dealing.

The fly-by-night used car dealer, and in some cases the individuals who place used cars for sale on gas station driveways, will frown on tamperproof odometers.

Here is an opportunity for the National Automobile D e a l e r s Assnriobby in Washington, to get behind a "truth-in-car-sales" proposal.—J.C.
