Businessmen say doesn't hurt ByTIMYOUNKMAN"

The Presidential1 price-wage • freeze was, generally, too short

a time to do any good at the local v level. At least that's the opinion

[V * -of local business men from the Ovid and Elsie area.

Mrs,1 Audrey Bancroft of Bancroft Clothing in Ovid said the freeze hasn't affected her business.

*We buy all.of our things a year ahead of time,* she said. "Our purchases were all made before the freeze went Into effect.* By buying ahead of time, the freeze did not involve her prices for fall clothing, she said.

She noted that purchases made

Christmas plans get early start

ST. JOHNS-It may be a little early to think Christmas, but St. Johns Chamber

~of Commerce and Jaycee members are . all ready for the big holiday when It does

roll around. 'The annual Christmas program, which

includes a parade, tree lighting ceremony, j '* arrival of Santa and a series of kiddles*

, 'l luncheons with the'jolly fellow, has been expanded to include a religious program sponsored by the St. Johns ministerial association.

The new addition will be a program of Christmas hymns and an outdoor program on the courthouse lawn Saturday Dec. 11. Time of the program will be announced nearer the date.

The entire Christmas program is under the direction of the Chamber of Commerce but' administered by the Jaycees. Arnold Wiles, assisted by Keith Harrison and Dave Needham have arranged the entire Christ-

lmas period schedule and all phases of the program are now In readiness.

The schedule for* the entire program Is as follows:' .

Sunday Nov. 21 at 8 a.m. members of" the Chamber and Jaycees will gather to erect Christmas decorations. A s s e m b l y '

|. £ t polnt.wiji fee the building formerly occupied v*$'" *^by Bee*s auto/Sg^ncyi't'^-; •'•&$&•"'"•*?'-'•••**'

The official tree-lighting ceremony will take place Friday evening Dec. 3 and Santa

* .will "make his first appearance as part of that program. This event will be followed by the religious program on Dec. 11.

Two luncheons With Santa will be held, followed by free movies at the Clinton Theater. The lunches, to be held in the Municipal Auditorium, will be conducted by the St, Johns Jaycettes on'^Saturday Dec, 11 and 18. Tickets for the free movie programs which follow each luncheon will be available from Chamber member business places.

now, during the freeze where wholesale- prices were stopped from Increasing, will benefit the consumer in the long run. She said the lower wholesale price will mean a lower retail price later on, even after the freeze" is discontinued.

Mrs. Bancro f t said her business has been down̂ during the past month, but couldn't determine whether the price control was causing it or the warm weather was to blame. "People canjt get into a fall mood with this kind of weather," she added,

Not so fortunate, perhaps, is the automobile dealer who was caught with a stock of 1971 autos

at the time of the Presidential economic controls.

Ilene Clark, of the ClarkServ-ice Ford dealershipInElsie,said the freeze has had a definite effect on the local car-buying scene.

She said her firm had 15 1071 -automobiles and four trucks left with the 1972 units coming in. *We are trying to sell the 1971 model against the '72.* Consequently the dealership Is suffering by just breaking even or below with the leftover 1971 cars. With no real markup on the 1972 units, the dealerships were actually faced with a situation of selling both model year units for the same price.

•We got accustomed to the old way of increasing the prices. Now we have to cut the gross. We are just trying to get invoice out of them."

She noted that people are skeptical about the failure to pass legislation dropping the excise tax, although , she added, that people have been more interested in new cars than In previous years.

She said it was hard to get more gross from the auto business in a small town rather than a more highly populated area. She noted that ?we'd' be lucky to get $150 to $200 on a car,* She said It was the same five years ago.

"Our costs have increased over that time, but the prices have jumped that much,* she said, "The freeze hasn't affected the parts and service. We have several independent operators who service everything, in the t area. We can barejy get book labor.* Mrs, Clark did say that the garage was doing a substantial volume to offset some of the setback.

Another E l s i e businessman said he didn't really feel the pinch of the freeze.

Spencer Blackford of Dancer's Department Store said the freeze, so far, "has not had an effect.* He added that his firm had already made about'80 per cent of Its yearly purchases before Aug,

15, the date the controls went into effect.

"Personally, I hate to see him (Nixon) take it off. If things continued the way they were things would really explode. The inflation was running away with itself and controls should have been put on It-years ago.*

He said the only real effect oh his prices have come from

competition. Prices remained low b e c a u s e the competition hasn't raised prices. But he said It, was a standard practice to leave Items at a certain price

such as blue Jeans or .insulated coveralls for hunters..

"The coveralls were $29.99 last year and that's what they are this year. Work Clothes haven't gone up and I think the quality is the same." He indicated that the ' prices would stay the same or vary even If the controls were not established, >;\

He said the only item that would demand an increase thls^ y e a r would b e ^ h o e s , where . nationwide increases have aver- •* aged $25 per cent over the past : few:years. Those increases have," been s topped temporarily, at;

Thanks, again,Sir ST. JOHNS(c)—Last Thursday, afternoon,

Linda Stevens saw something float through the air and settle on the ground in'front of, the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.. Arnold. Stevens, on South DeWitt Road, In Olive Township.

On investigation, she found the object to be three balloons tied together with a tag attached. .Two of them were deflated. On the card was written the name and address of, a boy In Racine, Wisconsin, and the ̂ information that the' balloons had been released at.Racine, which is on the shore of Lake Michigan, only that morning.

Lloyd Ford;'who.lives on North DeWitt Road In Greenbush Township had a similar experience. on July 25. The attached cards on ;both sets of balloons requested the finder to return a card to the person who

had released the balloons. Ford did so, and Just this week received the following letter from a boy in Chicago:

Dear Sir: I am writing this letter to thank you for sending my balloon tag back from the Tri-Luminar Lodge picnic. I am 7 1/2 years old, and Friday night, October 8, my father took me to a dinner, and because ̂ you sent the tag in I was the winner, arid got .a $50 bond.

Thank you again, Sir, for being so kind and sending In the tag. When I say.my prayers at night, I will pray for you. I am In second grade In school and I asked my Mom to. help me write this letter. I am John William Gibson, Chicago, HI.

; Perhaps Linda will receive a letter ofi thanks some-day. She has returned.the tag' she found.

least, he said.

Dale Levey of Levey Jewelers in Elsie also did not see much effect from the economic controls at the local level.

He said he had a few directives from various companies that had planned a price raise of from five to 10 per cent that could not go into effect because of the controls.

•In my operation, It hasn't bothered me since I wasn't golnj; to raise my prices anyway," LeVey said. He added that he purchases stock twice a year-spring and fall.

Since all Items are frozen at the wholesale level, Levey said he made some extra purchases that he would normally have made next spring, "I could buy it now at a lower price instead." He added that the consumers would benefit on that type o'f purchase later on.

He noted that the price controls should have been put into effect earlier.''This wasn't a loni enough period and there were no real controls and no means of enforcing them," He cited at least one business, in Owosso, where prices have risen at the retail level despite the freeze. "There have been violations, but there was no way of stopping them."

Boyce Wooley of Wooley'sFlve Cent to $1 Sfcore said there was no noticeable change In his business pattern. But he wasn't pos-

effect me in the future if they keep the controls on. Our prices have been maintained at the same level and there is not a noticeable change there."

He said he was in favor of controls now and after the freeze is dropped, but added he would "leave that up to them (the legislators).* He said he did not want to second guess any further economic control action tha t could affect local business.

It was unanimous that controls were needed and that they were needed sooner and should have lasted longer. But, outside of the auto dealerships, the controls have had little or no effect locally, with little effect in the future, according to the businessmen.

grriors drop Redwings &*

. By TIM YOUNKMAN

ST. JOHNS—Some days you just should have stayed in bed.

It was that kind of day. (or evening) for the St. Johns Redwings F r i d a y .night when they camp up against what was billed as a "weak* Waverly squad. The' Warriors had only won once and lost three.

But Redwing blocking broke . down early, in the first quarter and the St. Johns squad set up in punt formation. The snap from center was low and the warrior defenders raced, in to block the punt. The ball went straight up and was snared by Waverly's Gary Lennon who ran the ball in 20 yards for a touchdown. Jon Miller, the Warrior half

back who was conyerted'toquarterback last week, fired a strike

' to Greg Sellers for the conversion.

Prom that point on, there' was no stopping the fired up Warrior offense. After a series of downs was • halted, St. Johns had to punt again. Steve Hewes then capped a waverly drive with a 12 yard run to put the game away.

Hewes scored later on a three yard run and Chuck Shell added another to help blank the Redwings 26-0.

St. Johns could only roll lip 91 total yards compared with the 275-yard total offense of the W a r r i o r s . The Redwings managed 41 yards on the ground and 50 in the air on five com

pletions In 21 attempts. Waverly got most of its yardage on the ground, rushing for 263 yards.

The Redwing defense managed to bottle up the Waverly passing attack as Miller comDleted' onlv one of four nasses for 12 yards.

"Our blocking broke down and after the blocked punt we were in the hole 8-0,*, Redwing Coach Ernie Becker said. "Then they scored again." Becker was up« set with the missed blocking assignments and the breakdown at the line.

"We a r e going to work on the basics of blocking and tackling this week," Becker said.

The next Redwing opponent is Hastings and it will be another touch one for St. Johns. Hastings owns a 3-1 conference record

after crushing Alma 21-0Friday night. The Saxons are 3-1-1 overall.

*They are going to be real tough,* Becker said. CThey beat Waverly.*

Becker added that outside the fundamentals, the Redwings were not intending to utilize "anything special.*

The Redwing loss drops them into the cellar of the West Central Confe rence with an 0-3 league record and 1-4 overall. St. Johns is tied with Alma which also has an 0-3 league mark.

PEACE OF MIND

Save for a rainy day—those who do are apt to have the most sunshine in their lives.

i;_ Coaches *nbmed

THIS IS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE

Ken Schueller was able to complete this toss with excel lent blocking. He completed five the Redwing loss to Waverly, 26-0.

Marauders ready for title defense-Corunna

J i ••

By TIM YOUNKMAN Co-Editor

/ OVID-ELSIE-It was a «mlld»' knight for Ovid-Elsie's Marauders 'Friday night. At least that was the 'way Line Coach Russ Pope described the O-E victory over Midland Bullock Creek, 14-6,

He noted that his team looked as though they *were thinking about their big game next week with Corunna.* Ovld-Elsle and Corunna are the only unbeaten teams remaining' In the Mld-'Mlchlgan B Conference and their clash Friday at Marauder field

- could determine who will win the league title.

r The Marauders struck early against Midland to gain the lead.

On the first Bullock Creek offensive play of the night defensive back Bill Foran intercepted a pass and re'turned it to the Lancer 40 yard line.

In seven plays the'Marauders had a score as fullback Glen B e n s i n g e r scampered seven yards to the end zone. Foran booted his first of two extra points and O-E led 7-0,

That was all of the first half scoring until a few seconds before the end of the second quarter. Bullock Creek was forced to punt and halfback Randy Byrnes hauled the ball down onhis own flve-yard-llne. With an excellent wave of blocking, Byrnes dashed 95 yards for another touchdown, but the playwas called

back on a clipping penalty. Line coach Pope said Monday

that "after viewing the game films numerous times, Coach Mark O'Donnell and his assistants still can't find the Infraction on the play.*

The coaches indicated that the defense held the team's lead during the first half after turnovers halted the offensive efforts to add to the seven-point lead. The Lancers only managed 15 yards rushing during the first half.

After a good kick return by Bensinger in the second half's opening minutes, Jeff Grant took a hand off, ran off his left tackle and down the sidelines for a Marauder touchdown.

The excitement of G r a n t ' s

touchdown was shortlived as Bullock Creek returned the following klckoff for a 95 yard touchdown run to bring the score to 14-6.

O-E quarterback Tom Klrino-vic was the leading rusher with 72 yards in eight carries and the scoring was augmented by For-an's kicking efforts, Foran has booted 10 straight polnts-after-touchdown this season.

Junior lineman Lynn Webster • led the defense with 13 tackles and sophomore Rob Nethaway added nine solo hits for the Marauders,

"AH the marbles will be at attack next Friday when Corunna comes to O-E,* Pope said. "On paper, O-E looks like the

^winner , but on the field who knows?" He noted tha t the M a r a u d e r s have scored 112 points and given up only 12, while Corunna has scored 90 and given up 40. '

A sidelight to the title clash will be the personal rivalry between the schools' c o a c h e s . O-E's O'Donnell has a career win mark of 113 victories and Corunna's Nick Annese has 110 to his credit. They are close friends off the field but both should be pulling out all the stops Friday to gather in a victory. The contest will feature Ovid-Elsie's Dad's Night which might give an edge to the Marauders, according to Pope.

The O-E Little Marauders * played the Bullock Creek JV's to a 6-6 tie. Tim Qulne scored O-E's only touchdown to give them a 2-1-2 record for the season.

The Mini-Marauders, Ovld-Elsle's frosh squad, ran wild again this week by crushing the Bullock Creek frosh 46-12. It was the third for O-E. Perry Munson and Paul Case each scored two TD's for the Marauders.

Peggy Dush is named cheer leader

LANSING - An Elsie girl, Peggy Dush, has been chosen as a varsity cheerleader for 1971-72 at the Michigan School for the Blind here.

PEWAMO-WESTPHALIA-the P-W Pirates got back onthewin-ning track Friday night as they dumped Portland St. Pat's 24-6 to please a sellout homecoming crowd.

St. Pat's scored first on a four-yard run by Dan Meyers. P-W had fumbled a punt on the 10 yard line and Meyers ran across on fourth down.

But the Pirates came right back as Roy Piggott slammed into the end zone on a two-yard run to cap a 52 yard drive. That was all the scoring in the first half.

In the third period, Mike Gross ended the deadlock when he went 11 yards to score. It capped a 42 yard sustained drive of five to six yards a play.

IN THE FINAL period, Dan Jones capped an 82-yard drive with a one yard plunge andGross ran 53 yards for the final tally*

Gross was the leading rusher for the Pirates with 109 yards in 18 carries. Jones was second with 41 yards.

Coach Bill Marks cited Tom Fedewa, Chuck BengeUand Tom Thelen with an outstanding de- . fensive game. Fedewa had seven solo tackles and eight assists while Bengel had three solos and 11 assists. Thelen Intercepted two passes, had four solo tackles and. six assists. I

The second touchdown was set up by one of Thelen's interceptions.

PORTLAND- The Pewamo-Westphalia Little Pirates came to town last week to play football.

And that's what they did, With a vengeance as they demolished the Portland St. Patrick JV's 38-6.

The JV regulars put the game on ice early by scoring 16 points in the first quarter and another 16 in the second period. Then the Pirate backup squad came in to hold the Shamrocks to only six points throughout the second half while adding six of their own to the 38-point total.

P-W's Gary Beachnau opened the scoring with a three-yard run early in the first quarter. The point-after-touchdown(PAT) was successful and P-W had an eight point lead.

The second TD of the period came on a 30 -yard pass from Randy Walter to Dave Pung and

°' the PAT was accomplished on a Walter pass to Dan May.

Beachnau combined with

Walter for another score in the second quarterona 60-yard bomb and Steve Simon drove in for the PAT. Later in thequarter.Simon plunged three yards for the fourth Pirate TD. May caught a Walter pass for the extra points.

The final Pirate score came when freshman backup quarterback Pat Thelen hit Dean Miller for a 20-yard touchdown.

The only Shamrock TD came on a five yard run late in the last quarter.

"They played pretty good," Coach Harry Peacock said of his Pirate charges, "We are now5-0

and all of them have been onesided games." Peacock said there was no game scheduled for this Week, but the Little Pirates will go up againstthe LalngsburgJV-'s on Oct. 28.

In the St. Patrick game, the Pirates rolled up 277 yards in the air • on 16 receptions in 25 pass attempts. They added 100 yards more on the ground to out-class the 86 rushing yards and 75 passing yards gained by Portland.

Vikings end Panther win streak 26-14

|py-sr?ry :7 ^ iBymM&OWKM ANA

Co-Editor

POTTERVILLE—The opening klckoff • was an evil omen to the DeWltt Panthers here Friday night as the Vikings' BobNemeth took the -kick 90 yards for a touchdown.

The entire first half, in fact, was a nightmare for Coach Tom I s a n h a r t and his undefeated Panthers. The Vikings turned around with 4:34 left in the first quarter and drove down to the DeWltt goal line. Then quarterback Dean Pe'ters dove over for the score. The successful points-after-touchdown (PAT) made the first quarter score 14-0.

The Panthers fought off several threats in the second period until Nemeth took a screen pass from Peters on a fake punt playand ran it In for a touchdown with 36 seconds remaining in the half. That put It out of reach,

DeWitt fought back In the third quarter when quarterback Ron Wilcox dashed nine yards for a score with 4:30 remaining. His

•;. pass .-to. Tom^Ashley added the -iiifoo e%a;,pJo'ii?ts';i^1 f- &•:-i' :• <•<>•'

With'only one minute gone in the fourth period, Wilcox capped a drive with a-one-yard plunge Into the end zone. The score was set up by a- 30 yard run by Mike Moody who was'the Panther workhorse Friday night. He carried the ball 11 times for 111 yards.

The final Viking score came with 9:44 to go in the game when Peters unleashed a 57-yard bomb to Nemeth. and a touchdown. The 26-14 margin stood up and the Panthers had suffered their first league loss in more than two years.

To further heighten the anxieties of the Panther coach,

-Moody was having some breathing problems and he may be lost to DeWitt for some time, pending th e results of tests conducted this week at a Lansing hospital.

The Panthers put on a good show despite the loss, picking up 238 yards rushing and 41 passing while Potterville had 108 on the ground and 140 via the airways,

"When they ran the kickoff back we m i s s e d blocks and

tackles," lamented Isanhart. He.i was particularly upset.about the missed tackles on the fake punt. He said the 57 yard bomb had caught his defenders in a one-on-one situation.

He blamed much of the poor point production on penalties. *We had eight motion penalties. With the plays that were called back because of penalties we would have had well over 300 yards,"

Tom Ashley and Wilcox each added their fifth Interception to the season's record in the game. He cited the play of Chuck Berk-imer on, defense as a standout performance. "But we are not going to overlook them. You never know. Even though they also lost to Potterville, they played a bet-'

ter ballgame against them than we did."

The game is slated to start at 8 p.m. at the DeWltt field*

ANNUAL STATISTICAL AND FINANCIAL REPORT St. Johns Public Schools of Clinton and Gratiot Counties

The school year of 1970-71 saw a slight decrease in the rate of student growth in the St. Johns Public Schools. The total enrollment was 4167 students, which was 126 students more than the 1969-70 year. This represented the smallest increase in.student growth in the pa | l five years. .' '

!*"For the 1970-71 year the schools^were operated^with a tax levy of 14.5 mills voted and 8 mills allocated. 7 mills were levied for the retirement of the 1966 debt.

During the year three unscheduled events contributed to the operating deficit of $121,481 which existed atthe end of the fiscal year. The first was the Supreme Court Decision requiring schools to furnish free to students all textbooks and supplies. The second was the November defeat of Parochlaid which caused the 7th and 8th grades at St, Joseph School to transfer to Rodney B. Wilson Junior High on January 4, 1971. Since this was long after the official count day, there was no State Aid for these students. However, three additional teachers were hired to teach them. >'

The third event was the arbitrary reduction of 2%.of State Aid in March because of the financial condition of the State.

For the year 1.970-71 the minimum Teachers Salary was $7500 for a beginning teacher with a B.A. Degree while the maximum salary was $12,750 for a teacher with an M.A. Degree and 11 years of experience. The median salary was $9850.

Stoll had another play in mind, according to Coach Ron Skorich. But when the senior quarterback looked over the unusual Panther defense, he called an audible at the line and kept the ball him-; self.

S t o l l then passed to B r a d Schaibly for the PAT.

' The next Bath score came after a Bee drive bogged down. Ordiway went back to punt but when he got the t ball he dashed 46 yards for the touchdown.

The final score of the half came when Stoll capped another drive with a one yard quarterback sneak.

In the fourth quarter Jeff Smith ran for three yards and the final Bath score.'

Stockbridge got on the board late in the fourth quarter when' Charles Shivers ran 40 yards for a touchdown.

Skorich noted that at halftime i the Bees had totally handcuffed Stockbridge with a 32-0 lead and had held the once-potent Panther offense to only eight total yards.

Skorich cited the play of Mitch- -ell, Ordiway, Randy Markham and Larry Feguer on defense as they rolled up a combined total of. 40 solo tackles. **

"They all played fabulously," S k o r i c h said. Everything went right. They were ready for the game and were really fired up.*

The coach said the defense -put a lot of pressure on the Stockbridge quarterback by utilizing a rushing four and five than' -line. The Panthers tried to break

Every year we go two or three time. We did It again this past weekend. And it was beautiful. The many flowers are still in bloom, the trees and shrubs are in color and the animals are friskier this time of year.

The Preville family took a vote and we decided that this is the very finest time of year to visit. •

Speedway, only sports snowmobile kind made In the U.S.A.

Speedway. Completely new. It's unlike anything on the market. It's as snowmobile as a snowmobile can be. But it's more. It's a snowmobile built in the tradition of Ferrari, Corvette and Jaguar. A sports machine with flair and integrity. In design. In engineering, in performance.

Speedway. America's first true sport snowmobile. It's a snowmobile with decidedly crisp, clean, and functional lines. Its styling and rjacesetting engineering share as much design finesse with Italy as with California.

As you'd expect from a thoroughbred, you get fiscal integrity. You get a speedometer and tachometer. Standard, A fuel'gauge. Standard. Dual sprocket track drive. Standard. Ram-air induction hood with racing lock pins. Standard, Slider suspension. Standard. Shock ab

sorber ski suspension." Standard. There's even an adjustable thumb/hand throttle control. You guessed it. Standard.

The slide rail suspension, plus the quad-leaf/ shock absorber ski suspension means agility. The Speedway carves through slaloms like clay and comes out as straight as a Trevino tee shot. Power abounds throughout the three model line but dyed-in-the-wool competitors wi l l really respond to the nearly l imit less power in the Speedway 650. Fantastico!

Now if all this doesn't trigger a flow of adrenalin, maybe you'd better look over the entire 3 model line. 340,440, and 650. Buy any other: snowmobile and all you get is today's snowmobile. Buy a Speedway and you get a piece of tomorrow. ,

In Memoriam

In loving memory of my husband William Steinke, who passed away October 21 , 1970.

He bade no oneafondfarewell, He said goodbye to none.

His loving heart had ceased to beat.

Before I knew it he was gone, • I do not need a special -day

to bring him to my mind. The days I do not think of him

are very hard to find. ^ He lived a life all might" envy

Loved and loving unselfish and kind.

And his death, his blessed • memory,

Comforts those he left behind, To know him was to love him,

Both family and friend, And the sweetness of his memory,

Time can never dim or end, Sadly missed by his wife and family. 25-lp

JFederal-Mogul

24 years of production here By TOM DeWITT Co-Editor

I ST. JOHNS-There isn't an jjAmerican car on the road today tthat isn't running down the high-

a long way since the decision to manufacture babb i t t lined steel-backed bearings was maae by Federal-Mogul in 1945. The company purchased a 25,000 s q u a r e foot dirt floor brick

The S t . J o h n s i way without at least one part | of It being made right here In j St. Johns. t If that sounds to you like some i pretty far out statement of local-| ' ism made by some over zealous ! chamber of commerce member, | then you are wrong. | American-made c a r s today 0. run with parts made right here Lin St. Johns at the nearly quarter Lof a century old Federal-Mogul ^Manufacturing Plant. 31 The St. Johns Plant has come -tf *\

plant ;Ln 1?47 building formerly occupied by the St. Johns Portable Building Co., manufacturer of bolt-together houses.

EXTENSIVE REMODELING was begun in 1946. It included poured concrete floors, a new heating plant and modern office space where a former lumber storage shed had stood, when the work was completed later that year, the old building was hardly recognizable.

There were 34 employees who began work in 1947, some 24 years ago. And they were, for the most part, local people. Today Federal-Mogul lsthelargest' single employer in St. Johns and at the present time there are approximately 500 persons employed at the plant. Added space has been provided by a series of additions, culminating in the one completed in 1965 which doubled floor space to the current 240, 000 square feet.

The original main product of the St. Johns Plant, a complete line of sleeve bearings, is being phased out at the present time. However , o the r bi-metal products such as bushings, thrust washers and steel spacers, are being turned out daily by the millions.

WITH THE EXCEPTION of raw materials, such as steel, the plant is entirely self-sufficient, with the capabilities of producing, both for its Internal consumption and outside sales, a complete line of all of the Federal-Mogul developed bimetal products, made through strip manufacturing.

In strip manufacturing, the St. Johns plant helped pioneer the development of the aluminum strip in different alloys and the aluminum bonding line has the capabilities of pressure bonding all of these allovs.

IN MANUFACTURING connecting rod bearings, the plant was instrumental in developing an entirely new concept by which locking lips, holes, and notches were punched and the chamfers coined on the ends of the bearing during blanking and coining, eliminating several secondary operations.

In full round bushings, the plant produces Items that range in diameters from .375" to 11. 100". Their bushings are made on multi-station progressive dies, which have the capabilities of producing bushings that have coined grooves, holes, projections and o t h e r configurations and des ign specifications required by the customers.

The dies are designed by the plant's internal engineering department and are the product of many years of development and refinement. Should a customer have a need for new design thrust washer, the plant has the ability to produce any configuration you desire, through the use of progressive multi-station tooling. They can make washers having tangs, coined grooves or contoured thrust surfaces.

THE PLANT IS NOTED for its pressroom which consists of basically high speed double crank Minster presses ranging in tonnage from 100 to 400 tons.

A new heat treatment process has recently been added to provide additional capacity for specialty s t a m p i n g s and specific customer requirements.

The first part of this story has dealt with the history of the

'Federal-Mogul Plant and its capabilities. Next week, Plant Manager John A. Fox will discuss the future, including realignment of the present plant operations and new products for the future.

SOUTHFIELD-^ermit M. Hart, former manager of the St. Johns Federal-Mogul Plant, has been named operations manager of a combined operation known as the A n t i f r i c t i o n Bearing Group. The promotion was effective Oct. 13.

Hart was the former general manager of the BCA Division, a position he assumed in 1968. On Oct. 12, Thomas F. Russell, executive vice president of the corporation here announred thp combining of the Bower Roller Bearing Division and the BCA Ball Bearing Division into the Antifriction Bearing Group.

Herbert H. Kietzer, whomHart replaced as BCA head in 1968, was named group manager.

Hart was manager of the St. Johns Federal-Mogul Plant in

1958 moving in 1965 po Detroit where he Was responsible for manufacturing operations at five of the division's plants.

VICE PRESIDENT RUSSELL listed a number of advantages in joining these two similar operations.

"BY COMBINING suchsimilar funct ions ," R u s s e l l said, "Federal-Mogul will greatly increase efficiencies in terms of e n g i n e e r i n g , manufacturing, sales and marketing operations.

"Most important, we will substantially improve services to our many important customers in the automotive, truck, off-the-h i g h w a y, construction and farm equipment industries."

Through this streamlining

process, Federal-Mogul creates a stronger p roduc t ion , engineering and sales force that will add to future economies. The merger of balland roller bearing operations follows the merger in July, 1969, ofBCA'sandBower's antifriction bearing research activities in Ann Arbor.

"RESULTS HAVE SHOWN that we have provided expanded r e search support for our cus-tomers through the diversified engineering talent made available in the combined laboratories," Russell said. "Immediate benefits were realized In particular by design engineers and quality assurance engineers. We expect to see similarresults in our newly combined manufacturing and sales operations."*

different, except, perhaps that our gal is right out front where she not only performs her daily routine but assists customers as well, Betty Allen has the official title of lobby manager but that doesn't really saymuchforall she does. Her influence extends not only to our St, Johns office tellers, but Into the operations of our safety deposit area and jumps across our rear drive into the auto-bank.

Aside from supervising personnel In these sections of the bank, Betty handles a number of varied inquiries from customers visiting our main lobby. In addition she is frequently called upon to act as receptionist by arranging for bank officers and their callers to get together or by directing visitors to the appropriate office or bank area..

Betty's banking experience began In 1941 when she joined the staff of the predecessor to Detroit's Manufacturer's Bank, Industrial National Bank. In 1960 she began working at the State Bank of Carson City and two years later moved her family from the Fowler area to Carson City. Before coming with CNB&T in 1970 Betty had worked her way from teller to assistant cashier, a position she now holds with us,

•Our gal Friday claims her hobbles to be sewing, reading and her dog, Candy, but we know the pride of her life Is her family. And proud she can be of her five sons and one daughter (poor Cherrll). The two oldest sons are completing college at state schools and the third is an engineer with General Electric. Jerry has just completed high school and Is employed at Carson City Hospital. Kenny is a senior at CCHS and lone daughter Cherri is a junior at the same school. ,

It's easily seen that Betty's career and family life keep her on the go, so much so, In fact that she was forced to relinquish her post as Congregational Church treasurer In favor of completing two banking study courses in personnel and public relations. But that's the way it is with our gal' Friday. She does all that she can and '.does them well, especially where customers are involved. In fact, she even does them well on' Mondays!

County News Above It All

Guest editorial:

Is Alex doing own writing Dale Stafford

in the Greenville Daily News

* My fishing companion exploded 4he other day and got in the news. He is Lyall Smith, the public relations director of the Detroit Lions and the fellow I hired in 1945 as my successor as sports editor of the Detroit F ree P r e s s .

Here is a man of patience 'but he finally had it with the bad mouthings of Alex Karras

*ljwh0 "is getting $35,000 a year ' this year and next to NOT play lo r the Lions.

Karras said no kind things ^ about Forest Evashevski, his • college coach at University of

Iowa. When Pete R o z e l l e , t h e

National Football League commissioner, suspended him for a year for gambling on NFL games, the man put his mouth in h i g h e r gear. The tirade

âgainst Rozelle became almost non-stop.

Now the Lions are his target. The Detroit Free , P re s s has engaged Karras as a columnist for its sports sections to allegedly write things about the Lions.

This in itself is suspect since any person who has been* around the writing business 'ktib'ws that"

fit ' , lilS.i 4 & l

\ very few name athletes are capable ,of authorship. Ghosts are

"• provided by the managements to create the precious prose. Likewise, newspapermen aren't athletic s ta rs .

Long ago Christy Walsh made a fortune With pieces supposedly created by Babe Ruth. The Bam-

t bino couldn't recall the names of teammates who played with him. And he cared less as he went

c through life having fun. Writing -is drudgery and by no stretch of 'the imagination could Babe be

^"involved in this sort of thing. A long time ago a Boston news

paper signed a deal with Ted Williams, a mighty athlete but

"a less than lovable character on-ôccasion.

The newspaper's b a s e b a l l writer was given the task of producing a daily column under

' Ted's name. v • One day at the Tiger home

in Detroit (then called Briggs Stadium) I was standing alongside as the Boston writer sought to get some ideas for the Wil

liams column. "Go away," said Ted, "I'm

sick of you and don't bother me until next season."

My dear friend Herb Graffis has done more profitable ghost writing than anyone I know. He lives in a magnificent home at Fort Myers Beach, Fla., and attributes it all to the daily articles and books he wrote under Tommy Armour 's byline.

His Armour book has outsold any golf volume ever published. The syndicated golf articles' appeared in hundreds of daily newspapers for 17 years .

"Did you talk to Armour very often about the books or the ar t ic les?" I asked Herb.

"Oh now and t h e n , " sfaid Graffis.

Tommy was a Scot who drank Scotch whiskey and tea at the same s i t t i n g . In my humble opinion this is a rather old combination of beverages.

One athlete who insisted on doing his own stories was George Kell, once a great third base-

'man and now afine sportscaster. I gave George $1,000 fordoing

his pieces for a season and they appeared in the Free Press under the headline "Kell Tells ."

Every day he wrote out in long hand an ex'ceirerit"columru~" *

u . „He andrByron (Whizzer) White, f55t'6'nce''a"Detr,oit L'ions quarterback

but now a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, are the most intelligent of all the athletes I've known.

Kell and I were on a friendly basis until the time of the All-Star game. Ralph Kine^r, then the big hitter of the P i t t s b u r g h P i r a t e s , was in Detroit and kidded George about his column.

"How much are you getting?" Kiner asked.

"$1,000 for the season," said Kell.

"I'm getting $4,000 from a paper in Pittsbutgh and all I do is talk to the guy who writes it about once every two weeks," Kiner explained.

George told me this and I d e t e c t e d the notion the man thought he'd been had. But George kept on writing his articles as in the past until the season ended.

Is Karras writing his pieces? The people at the Free Press know but they won't tell.

As, for me, I have an opinion but let us give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

Well done, planners We' would like to commend

the organizers and planners of the area high s c h o o l s ' 1971

>'home'coming festivities for their success in avoiding conflicts in scheduling the events. 'vIt should be remembered that

last y,ear, most of the county's six high schools scheduled their homecoming games and crowning ceremonies on the same evening,' allowing for only a minimum of coverage from the Clinton County News. f £ ' n

This year , however, there was" only One: rUghV .wh^n.Wo homecomings were celebrated at the same time: .We "were able to

adequately prepare o u r own schedules to provide coverage for the two ceremonies, one at DeWitt and the other at Fowler on Oct. 8. ' t

Ovid-Elsie held homecoming ceremonies on Oct. 1, while Pewamo-Westphalia's was F r i day night. Bath will hold ~its homecoming Oct. 22 and St. Johns will have a big night/on Oct. 29.

We again commend those who planned this year ' s events and hope that similar arrangements will be m a d e rin /he years to follow.

Paying for educationa re form

By TIM YOUNKMAN

^

Back thru the years

We are on the eve of a chaotic situation in Michigan,

It won't be something as dramatic as bombing school buses and the like. But it will cause a good deal of confusion among taxpayers, school administrators and legislators.

Our state supreme court may soon rule on the constitutionality of the property tax supporting our educational sy s t em. Recently, the California supreme court ruled the property tax as the sole s o u r c e of local revenue for schools to be unconstitutional.

If the Michigan court so rules, then the e n t i r e r e v e n u e -gathering base for our schools will be swept away.

' What then? How will we make up the difference? What will happen to our schools and how much local control will be lost?

The questions aren't easily answered. But during discussions with various local superintendents and administrators, one thing seems certain. The state is bound to gain more control over local educational decisions.

LET'S EXPLORE the poss i b i l i t i e s . One administrator said it would be a *good* thing if the state took over the whole show. For example, there would be a vast increase in the state income tax to cover the cost of

state-wide education. The property taxes, of course,

would be lowered, with the cost of education spread over all the people on an "ability-to-pay* basis.

However, the administration of the revenue (which now would come totally from the statelevel) would be the responsibility of the state education department. Local controls would be nonexistent.

• As the superintendent told me, the job of being superintendent may become a civil service position whereby all administrators are locked in a certain salary base. Teachers would then come under civil service and be locked in a salary-step basis —unable to strike and unable to bargain at a local level.

. One problem that we now find overwhelming would fall aside. The problem of busing for integration would not be important. The real problem has always been the quality of the education that some of our children are receiving.

WITH CIVIL service assignments and equal monies per ch i ld in each district—the quality shpuld be about even. There would then be a possibility of redisricting the schools to maintain equality. Thus the systems with two or three large high schools could be broken up

into smaller districts. That, at least, is the way the

picture was painted by one administrator. >

It is time we come to the realization that this is not a fa i ry tale. The property tax is not fieasible as a basis of paying for our children's education.

An acceptable alternative for some of the new expense of administering education would be state-wide lotteries, off-track betting and legalized gambling. These ideas were not approved in the past. They had the connotation of sin and evil. But It should be realized that even with those sinister tags, illegal gambling is thriving.

The state could take much of the money and put it into the educational system plus have money to aid other governmental institutions.

In New Jersey, for example, Gov. William Cahill, in speaking ' to a House Judiciary subcommittee, told officials that the state's pottery has grossed more than $118 million since January and has netted $53 million for educatlqn and state Institutions. Michigan could certainly use $53 million more for education.

The change iscomingforsure. Our problem now is how to pay for the revamped system. Wf had b e t t e r come up with an answer soon or chaos is what we will have.

Because the legislative branch of state government has come under a t t a c k recently in a metropolitan newspaper, I am going to depart this week from my schedule of reports on my questionnaire and discuss the questions raised by that newspaper.

First, I confess, I cannot r e fute the specific charges leveled in the newspaper series. That Sen. so-and-so bought a $800 desk or that another legislator ordered cork paneling for his office, etc, are a matter of record.

But what I do resent is the general broad-brush treatment which leaps to the conclusion that all members of the legislature are guilty of this kind of extravagance because of a few Isolated instances.

The report seems to ignore completely the fact that the large majority of the members of the House of Representatives work from unpretensious two-man offices, furnished with a bare minimum of equipment.

In my own case, I share a 10 ft, x 15 ft. office with Repi resentatlve Robe r t Young of rural Saginaw Coiyity. We each have a desk, a file cabinet for our bills and Journals, a visitor's chair—but we do have a folding chair we can set up in the event of a crowd—and a storage cabinet we share. Our secretaries share

, an area outside our office which ; is about the same size but must

be kept clear as It is the access route to the fire escape.

If this is the indulging of my own lavish tastes for which we

all stand accused, then there is a difference in our definitions of "lavlshness." ' *

My a c c o m m o d a t i o n s are generally typical of those of the m a j o r i t y of members in the House. Some offices are larger and furnished a little better but these are assigned to members in leadership positions or certain committee chairmen -who require more in the way of staff and who are more likely to have l a r g e r numbers of visitors or are required to hold meetings and hearings in their offices.

CONCERNING MYSELF, I was assigned to my office when we convened last January. To date, I have notpurchased or requested one item of furniture nor sought any remodeling or change in accommodations.

I will concede, there Is a lack of control over legislative expenditures. But again, this does not lead to the conclusion that all legislators abuse that lack of control. Most legislators request what they need through established channels and accept any Inconvenience that might involve.

I believe closer control should be instituted ove r legislative spending. I favor the taking of competitive bids on all construction work, furniture and supplies. I intend to work toward the institution of this practice, v I do not believe any person should be allowed to make purchases,'™ behalf of the state without some form of controlled

a jerk Archie is, you solemnly resolve to go forth and bigot nib more.

Which is a noble concept. Although^ wonder if Archie isn't maybeâ hero.toî lot of viewers, sort of a George Wallace in hard hat. Some people couldn't see bigotry in themselves if they looked in the mirror and saw Lester Maddox.

But I always did worry too much. Back to the important things . . .

I told my family the Bunker show is the same as every other situation comedy in one vital aspect.

It lacks reality. The Bunker family crowd around the same side of the dinner table, just like Lucy's family, the Beverly Hillbillies and Mary, Tyler aity Moore. This is artificial. If all four m e m b e r s of my family jammed together on the north side of the kitchen table, leaving the south side vacant, a passing stranger would think we were either nuts or perverts.

My fami ly naturally urged their WiEe Old Dad to reveal why the TV people arrange their seating so peculiarly.

*So they all can face the camera/ I explained. * *

"They all sat on one side of the table at The LastSupper," my son said. "What channel was that on?"

I IGNORED th i s Christian aside and pointed out anothelr example of strange sitting on TV. When two men are 4n' the front seat of a car, the passenger always sits smack up against the driver. Even if they both work for the. FBi and drive

Ford's widest idea, they still sit so cozy it's a miracle If their neighbors aren't talking.

•It's the only way they can goth get their heads on a 21-inch screen at the same time,* I exclaimed with modest pride at my perceptlveness.

It was at thls-fasclnating point in the c o n v e r s a t i o n that my family insisted on swinging the conversation -away from show( biz. They are'jealous of my superior knowledge in this field.

My wife had recently made her modeling debut in an underground style show. Photos of the event were passed around the table and she said she hadn't realized what • a deep dimple she had in her chin.

"It's handjf for c a r r y i n g nickels for the parking meter," I said.

"I carry them in my navel,* she said. - t ,

"Oh, that's whe re . I carry lint,* I said* "But only during the 40 days before Easter."

That's when they left thetable; But at l e a s t they left on religious note.

God's gifts

By REV. HUGH BANNINGA

The text for this week is 1st •"Corinthians, chapter 12, verses

i '(£22-23. Pick up* your New Test-* ament and read the text.

*V In this letter St. Paul talks i- about the evaluation of the >:'humbler members of the Church . In order to warn against any •"tendency to create disunity in

the fellowship. The frailty of ': human nature is such that some of -God's gifts to men were more *; highly esteemed than others. '-' For exanple, Paul mentioned .rthe gifts of being an apostle, or •-'a. prophet, or a teacher, or a - -worker of miracles, or a healer. VThos.e who were not endowed with i-those gifts probably felt that they Iflyere not too • important in the

Christian community, and tha t Mhey would not be missed if they t fell away. 0 There may have been a tendency for those who possessed

the more spectacular gifts to put *on airs and to assume powers "of authority and leadership for "which they may not have been ^especially fitted. Certainly by ^putting on airs those people would Tshow they were not spiritually "fit for positions of leadership, • So, to counter-balance any * tendency of this sort, Paul pointed out that every part of the body—

•every Christian in the fellowship J— was vital to the smooth and

\ , 'feffectlve working of the whole 'body—the whole church.

We know even more today that this is true. It is not neces-

{j'sarlly the greatly talented people 1 whose service will rank the hlgh-f est with God. Raul's message to *. us today could well go "some-£ thing like this, "Now look, for $ the well-being of the Church. i There will always be diversities J of-gifts and therefore different '. functions. & So get used to the idea. There 3 will always be aneedforapostles v to transmit the traditions of the

faith. We will always need the prophets to study the gospel writings and bring them to bear on the life and culture of the times. There will always be a need for teachers to instruct others in the faith in order that sound doctrine can be preserved from Insidious heresies.

There will always be a need for miracle workers and healers and helpers and administrators. So respect the gift that the other person has', no matter what it is.. All are essential and vitally necessary to each other."

ST. PAUL SAYS to all clergymen, to all church board members, to all organists, to all women in altar guilds, to all church-school teachers, to all women's guild members, to all church treasurers, to all ushers —"Don't get all puffed up over your particular job in the church. They're all needed and no one job is more important than another."

Remember this.' Great deeds and services may indicate our talents and capacities, but small deeds and services indicate the depth and the range of our con- • secration. This is what Christ wants from all of us. No matter what our particular giftfrom God is, we are expected to perform' humble service in His name.

A well-known Scottish minister always tried to put appropriate illustrations in his sermons. One day he told his congregation about one of his d r e a m s . He had dreamed that he had died, and naturally had presented himself at the pearly gates of heaven for admission. But to his dismay, Peter denied him admission until he presented his credentials.

' ' WASHINGTON, D.C.-Third D i s t r i c t Congressman Garry

'Brown (R-Mich) today introduced a bill to authorize funds for continuing a national summer youth s p o r t s program for disadvan-'taged youngsters.

For the past 2 years, the •National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), through participating higher education institutions, has.run a summer

^ v%ports program for disadvan-,taged youth in urban areas. The •program, held on college and .university campuses, is operated Tin conjunction with the President's Council on Physical Fit-<ness and Sports.

Funding for this program has 'come on a. last-minute basis 'from the Office of Economic Opportunity.

•As it s t a n d s now," Brown said, "there is no indication that OEO plans to con t inue funding this program." Brown 'further noted that "under this hew bill, funding would be on a

long-range basis and it would . „be possible to have year-to-year

' coordination of the youth sports ^ ^program,"

Brown's- bill would provide a 5-year authorization, with $5 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1972, $7 million for fiscal year 1973, and $10 million for the three succeeding

years. . The s u m m e r youth sports program provides sports training and athletic competition along with facilities and supervision for young people who could not otherwise afford to participate. Each youngster in the program would also receive a medical examination, a daily meal, counseling in study and career opportunities and other added benefits.

In the past, the summer youth attention and participation. Last year, there were 45,000 young people in 98 programs in 56 towns and cities.

to his city and of her pastoral work, a work that had made him beloved by hundreds of people. Even that was unknown in heaven.

Just as he was about to turn away from the gates, Peter said, "Stay for a minute and tell me this. Are you the man who fed the sparrows?" "Yes," was the reply, "what has that to do with it?" "Come in," said Peter, "the Master of the sparrows wants to thank you."

Yes, we are expected to perform humble service in His name. That is the first and foremost requirement of us as'Christians. Then we are expected to use the talents that God has given us in a humble and loving way.

Getting all puffed up over our special talents is not expected of us and is not encouraged at all.

"If so when is it? We have or are having the same

People here drain their bathrooms in an open drain and still they won't even clean it out. The state said the law is — you have no right to drain a bathroom in a drain.

SEN. WILLIAM S. BALLENGER

Wacousta Mrs Edward Kraft—627-2039

The furor over the Legislature's renovation of its working quarters, first mooted a couple of weeks ago and c l i m a x i n g earlier this week with a three-part "expose" in The Detroit Free Press, has reached deafening proportions.

As one news story put it, a "New Capitol is Rising—Inside Old Walls." Without breaking new ground, the Legislature seems to be building a sumptuous modern Capitol within the walls of the p r e s e n t 92-year-old domed structure in the heart of downtown Lansing,

New offices and committee rooms, complete with cork-lined

-walls, plush carpeting, and draw draperies, rise from yesterday's debris in the state's latest architectural "breakth ' rough"—a "breakthrough" that could cost taxpayers up to $4 million.

All this while the Legislature has spent $3 million more over the past few years to plan and buy land for a new Capitol building which could cost up to $100 million if it's ever built.

And therein lies the rub. If in factrecentple-in-the-sky

visions of a new State Capitol have at last foundered on the rocks of a major state fiscal crisis which calls for austerity, not selfindulgence, then limited spending on rehabilitation and expansion of the existing Capitol is not totally unwarranted.

But if, in fact, the Legislature still harbors hope of someday erecting a lavish Taj Mahal two blocks west of Its present quarters, then it's particularly galling to see it spending as much as it now Is on renovating its current facilities.

The fact is that the Legislature does indeed need more space. As Chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Consumer Affairs, for instance, I have been unable to secure space in the Senate side of the Capitol in which to hold my committee meetings. For nine months I've had to use the House Appropriations Committee room for my meetings—and even 'then only during T h u r s d a y noon-hour lunchtime breaks. And while I'm content with my own personal office, nobody who's ever seen it can tell you that it even approaches the splendiferous or af

fords the slightest bit of privacy.

AFTER THE SENATE finishes remodelling Itself, there will be the not-unreasonable number of 10 committee, rooms (providing space for 15 standing committees to meet) where only two bona fide committee rooms, existed before the start ofthe year.

Yet there's little question but that those in charge of refurbishing have let things get out of hand. As the Free Press noted, •those who have taken the old Capitol building as their personal domain have the brass of the old Bourbon kings, but scarcely the style. . .The Legis

lature has assumed prerogatives for itself it would not tolerate for others., .Its tastes have run to the extravagant even when the merely functional would serve' just as well." Obviously, such a situation cannot be allowed to continue.

In conclusion, if left to my own devices, I'll remain in my musty, high-ceilinged office with the ornate Victorian woodtrim. If I'.m. forced to move it won't be to the time of $765 creden-zas, $17 ostrich calf wallets, or $au5 ice makers.

authorization. A few weeks ago Governor Mil-

liken, when signing the legisl a t i v e appropriation bill, recommended tighter control of spending by the legislature. I supported that proposal at the time and will continue to do so.

Much has also been said about the desire of the legislators to build themselves a plush new capital. Apparently a 1967 questionnaire Indicated that a majority of the then lawmakers •would like" to have a building complete with swimming pool, showers, sauna and other costly features.

But I think a better indication

of their feelings than a listing of what they "would have liked" 4 years ago is a vote just within

the past 6 weeks. At the time of consideration of the appropriations bill for capital outlay, the House defeated by an 83 to 9 vote a measure to spend another $5 million in preliminary costs for the new capitol building. This vote reflects present sentiment in the House of Representatives.

I personally think the day of a new capitol is a long way off. Money has been spent in the present building which should provide adequate space for some time in the future.

Some tips for the 'Hunting

Syndrome'

Wednesday, October 20, 19^1

Beef sides aren't always a ba rgam Dai ry indust ry honors two

Hb *5 Wednesday, October 20, 1971 CLINTON COUNTY NEWS, St. Johns, Michigan Page 7 B

In autumn the ghost ofNimrod, the mighty hunter, stirs in many a husband's heart. Off he will, go to the forest with visions of filling the larder with game. Back he will come, perhaps empty-handed, but certainly to fill your sympathetic ears with tales of muscle strains, cuts, bruises and various other misfortunes that befell him.

The wife who early recognizes her husband's "hunting syndrome* can offset many of these problems, according to the makers of Bayer Aspirin, If she would follow this five-point plan: 1) Insist that your husband go for a medical checkup; 2) Have him get an eye checkup; 3) Recommend some preconditioning exercises; 4) Provide him with an adequate medical kit; 5) Arrange for him to spend an afternoon before the hunt at a local rifle range.

The medical checkup should include, of course, acardiogram, particularly if he is over 40. It will also provide him with guidelines for the preconditioning exercises necessary to develop strength and endurance for "the chase,*

In addition to confirming that ^his eyesight is sound, your eye

doctor should check whether your husband is "right-eyed* or "left-eyed.*

Briefly, in right-handed persons, the left side of the brain is dominant because the nerve fibers from the left cerebral hemisphere cross over to the opposite side at the base of the brain. Since the cross-over is not complete, many of us have varying degrees of ambidexterity,

A simple "home* test can be done by pointing your finger at

, an object across the room—keeping both eyes open. With the finger still pointing at the object, close the right eye only.

If you are "left-eyed* the finger will stay on the object; if you are "right-eyed* it will move to the right of the object. In crowded hunting a r e a s , the difference could be crucial.

Pre-conditioning e x e r c i s e s '''^should be planned with two goals

in mind: strength and endurance. A regime of push-ups, toe-touching, deep-knee bends and slt-ups Is excellent— as Is Joggingor running In place.

Bear in mind that repeating an exercise many times with a ' light load (weights or a heavy book) will' Increase endurance, whereas fewer repetitions with a heavier load produce muscular strength.

A good basic medical kit should have: a first-aid manual; elastic bandages or surgical tape for binding sprains and strains; an antiseptic for minor cuts; a tube of petroleum jelly for burns and snapped lips; gauze roller bandage; an antacid to relieve stomach distress brought on by his own cooking; Bayer Aspirin to relieve headaches and aching muscles, and an Insect repellent.

Also include tweezers, a small scissors, a few sterile bandage compresses — and a - shr i l l whistle! The latter should be used, together with preplanned -signals, when your husband, the hunter, gets separated from his party.

Experienced hunters regularly practice at local ranges or clubs before undertaking a hunt-and strongly recommend that weekend hunters do likewise. If your" community has such a' range, urge your husband to spend some time there.

Check your local police department—some make arrangements during hunting season to open their t a r g e t ranges to sportsmen. In some communities, hunting courses are even supervised by off-duty enforcement personnel.

Of course, this five-point pro

gram d o e s n ' t guarantee your Nimrod will come home laden' with bear. But it will ease your anxieties about his preparedness and, as a result, send your hunter forth In high spirits.

And, who knows, this time he may actually come home with something more in the bag than dirty laundryl

EAST LANSING-Buylng beef by the side could be the grand-daddy of all bargains to the American consumer. But many factors determine whether it's a worthwhile purchase, according to Marilyn Mook, extension foods

market special of your favorite cuts might be more to your liking.*

A carcass,side(halfacarcass) or quarter of beef is usually sold by Its hanging or gross

more expensive than the fore-quarter. The forequarter has less tender cuts, such as the chuck, or shoulder, but it yields more usable lean meat.

meat, Miss Mook says. In general, you can expect a

side of beef to yield 25 per cent waste, 25 per cent ground beef and stew meat, 25 per cent steaks and 25 per cent roasts.

Quality of meat and service

costs are two other factors in the value of beef buys. The usual charge for cutting, wrapping and quickfreezlng is about 10 cents per pound, she says.

Grade Is an indication of beef quality. USDA Choice is the most widely sold retail grade. It has enough fat1 marbling to give tender, juicy, flavorful roasts and steaks frpm the loin and rib. The less tender cuts of this grade may be prepared by dry heat methods. USDA Good beef has less fat, but also less flavor and tenderness than higher grades.

AGRICULTURE INACTION

by CARL P. KENTNER

k I Fire can be a friend or enemy

and plays no favorites. In 1970 destructive fires took a toll of an estimated 12,200 lives and $2.6 billion In property In the United States. Fire fatalities rose by 100 over theprevlousyear,according to the National Fire Protection

Association. Building fires were the big

, consumer of dollars with losses of $2.2 billion. Dwelling fires were responsible for 'over half

of the human lives lost and approximately one-fourth of the victims of home fires were children.

Bach day, on the average, the cost of fires In residential property Is 18 lives lost, 1736 homes

and apartments damaged or destroyed and over $2 million lost.

Reports Indicate the nation Is making small butslgnlflcantpro-

gress in lowering the fire loss problem. With a continually Increasing population, the number

of fire deaths per thousand per- causes accounted for 39 per cent sons has decreased slightly in a of all building fires last year, majority of states. However, with Second, we should plan what the Inflation spiral, the cost of to do in case of fire. Every fire per capita continues to climb,

Janet Barnes named N M S C semi finalist

rising from over $8 per person in 1960 to almost $13 last year.

What can be done about this fire problem? Each of us must start our personal fire prevention program in our homes and on our farms. A good beginning is im-spectlon of our buildings. Ac-' cording to a NFPA study, the principal causes of bulldlngfires are: <1) defective or misused electrical wiring and equipment; (2) defective or overheated heating and cooking equipment; and (3) careless use of smoking materials. Together, these three

member of the family shouldknow at least two ways to get out of a room or building. This training should Include even the young' est children. All exits should be kept clear. F i r e department phone numbers should be posted at each phone. In two-story buildings, a rope ladder or similar device should be kept on hand, and an alarm system should be set up.

Most fires are causedby carelessness—don't let your friendly fire become a foe by your carelessness.

ST. JOHNS-Principal Gordon .Vandemark has announced that one student at St. Johns High School has been named a so mi-finalist in the 1971-72 National Merit Scholarship Program.

The student is Janet Barnes, The a p p r o x i m a t e l y 15,000

semiflnallsts appointed today are among the nation's most intellectually talented high school seniors. They will compete for some 3,000 Merit Scholarships to be awarded In 1972.

The semiflnallsts were the highest scorers in their states on the National Merit Scholar

ship Qualifying Test (NMSQT), which was given last February to more than 855,000 students In about 16,600 schools nationwide. They constitute less than one per cent of the graduating secondary school seniors in the United States.

THE SEMIFINALISTS ARE representative of the country's most Intellectually able young people, according to Edward C. Smith, president of the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC). "From this group will come many future leaders ixt

business, industry, and the pro-, the endorsement oftheirschools, fesslons," he said.

"These students bring honor not only to themselves, but also to their families, their teachers, and their communities. The future success of these young people will, however,depend upon their ability-to become productive at the hlghlntellectuallevels that they are capable of attaining."

Semiflnallsts must advance to finalist standing to be considered for the Merit Scholarships to be awarded next spring. Semiflnallsts becomefinallstsbyrecelving

substantiating their high NMSQT performance on a second examination, and providing information about their achievements and interests.

About 96 per cent of the semi- < finalists are expected to become finalists, and each will be considered for one of the 1,000 National Merit $1000 Scholarships which' are allocated' by state. Many will also be considered for the renewable four-year Merit Scholarships provided by some 500 corporations, foundations, colleges, unions, trusts, professional associations, other organizations, and individuals. Each finalist will receive a Certificate of Merit in recognition of his outstanding performance in the program,

WINNERS OF FOUR-YEAR Merit Scholarships may receive up to $1,500 a year for four college years, depending on their individual need. Winners of the National Merit $1000 Scholarships will receive their nonrenewable one-time awards upon enrollment as full-time students in accredited U.S. colleges or universities.

High school grades, accomplishments, leadership qualities, and extracurricular activities of the finalists are evaluated, along with test scores, In selecting Merit Scholarship winners,

NMSC Identifies the semiflnallsts to all regionally accredited colleges and universities and to certain scholarship-granting agencies and other sources of financial aid. Studies Informer years have shown that about half of the semiflnallsts received financial aid from sources other than the Merit Program,

Names of the winners in the 1971-72 Merit Scholarship Program will be announced in the spring of 1972. Some 28,000 students have received MerltSchol-arships in the sixteen annual programs to date. About $81 million in financial assistance to Merit Scholars and their colleges has been expended or committed through the Merit Program.

CPU UNDERWOOD , Cpl. Frederick B. Underwood, pon of Mr. and Mrs. Oak Under-jwbod of Maple Rapids was re-penily awarded the Navy and

rarine Medal. He received the award for

heroism while servlngwith Headquarters Battery, E l even th Marines, First Marine Division In Vietnam,

On Oct. 30, the Hoi An River overflowed Its banks south of DaNang, trapping villagers in the area and forcing them to huddle on rooftops. O b s e r v i n g that women and children were being swept away by the strong.current, Corporal Underwood, accompanied by two other Marines, resourcefully fastened a rope to the wire at the defensive perimeter of his base and,.utilizing it as a lifeline, waded as far

<into the river as the length of ' 'the rope would allow. For the next

several hours, with complete disregard for the possibility of being swept downriver by the raging water, he dove beneath the sur

face to search for p e r s o n s trapped in submerged houses, pulled people from rooftops and passed them in relay to the safety of the base and, on one occasion, assisted in carrying a woman in her bed from the middle of the river to the cantonment area. Although nearing exhaustion from fighting the current and from carrying the f r igh tened and sometimes helpless members of the populace, he resolutely continued his efforts until assured that all those he could reach were either carried to safety or were able to make their way to the base unaided.

Corporal Undersood's courage, valiant initiative, and selfless devotion to duty at a great personal risk were instrumental In saving the lives of at least 40 Vietnamese civilians.

He was .the tenth person to receive this medal in his unit over a period of six years.

4-H Chatter

Adults needed We are turning away youth who

want to Join 4-H because we don't have enough adults who are willing to help with the program. This was the comment made by-a number of 4-H leaders Thursday evening at their general leaders meeting at Smith Hall. C l in ton County 4-H program serves over 1400 different boys and girls throughout the county but could reach many more youth if the adult leaders were available. Many clubs now are too large for the number of leaders willing to help with the program.

People don't have to have., a 4-H background or be a specialist or expert in their area

Three receive citation ST. JOHNS - L e t t e r s of

Commendation honoring them for their high performance on the 19.71 National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT) have been awarded to three students at St, Johns High School, Principal C. Gordon Vandemark has announced.

Those named commended students are Anne Fox , John Wampler, Colleen Wood.

They are among 35,000 students in the United States who scored in the upper 2 per cent of those who are expected to graduate from high school in 1972, The commended students rank just below the 15,000 semi-finalists announced in September by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC).

Edward C. Smith, president of NMSC, said: "Although commended students advance no further In the Merit-Scholarship competition, their standing in this nationwide p r o g r a m deserves public recognition. Their high performance on the NMSQT gives promise of continued success in college.

•THE COMMENDED Students should be encouraged to pursue their education since their Intellectual talent represents an im

portant and much needed natural resource. Both these students and our nation will benefit from their continuing educa t iona l development**

The commended s t u d e n t s ' names are reported to certain scholarship-granting a g e n c i e s and to the colleges they named as their first and second choices when they took the NMSQT in February 1971. The reports include home addresses, t e s t scores, and anticipated college major and career intentions of the commended students.

to serve as a leader. If you have a desire to help

and work with youth, please contact the County Extension Office in St. Johns, phone 224-3288, for more information. We have nearly 300 adult leaders now hut we need more to reach the potential youth wanting to be in 4-H.

Parent support and involvement is necessary for a sue-

4-H background or be a s u c cessful 4-H club program. F&rents who have a son or daughter enrolled in a 4-H club program are encouraged to contact 4rH leaders to see how they might help out with such things as t r a n s p o r t a t i o n for certain events, helping with activities, encouraging their child to finish their project, attend the work meetings and participate in club activities.

Statistics over the past five years show that one-third of the members are first year members and two-thirds of the members are three years or less. Over 50 per cent of the members are 12 years or younger. It is true as the members reach high school they do get Involved with more school activities and then a decision has to be made which they want to participate in. But many of the most active 4-H members are those who also are very active in school, church and community events.

The variety of projects available to the youth in each club depends upon the abilities of the adult leaders. The number of projects available varies from a small club of 5 or more members to a club with over 100 different projects available to the youth in both the winter and summer program. Other questions discussed by the leaders included theTair Judging, award trips, the values placed by members on blue, red and white ribbons and county-wide activities.

Nimble Fingers, Bengal Community and Elsie 4 Corners 4-H Clubs were recognized as honor clubs by scoring a total of 900 or more points on activities and accomplishments of their iclub during the summer program. Each club received an award for this honor.

THE STONEY Creek 4-H Club members held their fall achieve-ment meeting with apotluckdinner for members and families. F a i r premiums, certificates, pins and award trips were presented to the members. Duane Davis, the club's leader, presented John Aylsworth, the Extension 4-H Youth Agent, $50.00 as the club's contribution to the National 4-H Center Ex-

. pansion Drive in Washington, D.C. For the program, films

wereshown on the 4-H Traverse City Trip taken a few years ago. The club would like to have a Winter handicraft club if leaders can be secured,,

The Tail Waggers 4-H Club members are quite proud of LuAnn Thelen as her dog was the fifth dog accepted for further training at the Leader Dog School for the Blind at Rochester. Dan Balog, the liason between the Leader Dog School and the club, reported that since 1939, there have been 3400 dogs trained and given to blind people. Last year 211 dogs were t r a i n e d at the Leader Dog School atRochester. A group of the 4-H members and their dogs wUl present k program at the Haslett Lions Club meeting, October 20, 7:00 p.m. This group includes LuAnn Thelen, Dawn Arche r , Ann Graham, Cheryl Ginther, Mark Bruin and Jeannine Seeger. Two new members were enrolled in the club and received their dogs for their projects. Ann Graham demonstrated a way to keep your dog's a t t en t ion in only five minutes that she had learned at a Dog Obedience class at Owosso. Each member was asked to demonstrate with their dog the progress made since the last meeting. Mr. Balog is setting up a 25 minute T.V. show for 3 or 4 members to participate in.,

The Elsie Four Corners 441 ' club members held an initiation for new members and made plans for t h e i r fal l achievement November 1 at the E.E. Knight School, 7:00 p.m. with a pot luck dinner for the members and families. Fair premiums, certificates, pins and awards will be presented to the members.

Pay delay

GARY BROWN U.S. REPRESENTATIVE

Sertice Pettomel

WASHINGTON, D.C. - T h e House passed a tax bill incorporating t h e President's New jacorfomic Policy proposals last week and approved his delay of Federal Government employee pay raises for six months, until July 1, 1972.

At week's end, the Senate had begun Its consideration of the tax bill and also had approved the President 's pay hike delay.

The tax legislation provides some $15.4 billion in tax relief for individuals and corporations over three years. Of this, $9.7 billion is non-business tax relief for individuals and $5.7 billion is relief for corporations and individual's business Income.

As reported in this column last week, this legislation accelerates Increases In the personal Income t a x exemption and standard deductions due in succeeding years, raises the low-Income allowance so as to remove those below the federal poverty level from the tax rolls, restores the 7 per cent Investment tax credit repealed in 1969, eliminates the 7 per cent excise tax on new cars , scales down business benefits from "accelerated depreciation rules promulgated by President N i x o n earlier this year, and provides new tax incentives for American exports.

THE L E G I S L A T I O N IS expected to face "strong opposition in the Senate.

S e n a t e Finance Committee hearings began.last Thursday, Oct. 7, chaired by Senator Russell B, Long (D-La.) who has disputed the claim that the House passed bill represents afair bal-

_ ance between tax relief for business and consumers.

Also last week, the House and Senate approved the President's proposed federal employee pay increase.

Under the provisions of the 1970 pay legislation, a vote of

disapproval in either chamber could have overridden the presidential deferral. ' -

THE SENATE ALSO gave Its final approval to a $21 billion defense procurement bill, 82-4,

The legislation carr ies an end-the-war amendment (the Mansfield Amendment), a $381 million military pay raise , and a provision breaking t h e U n i t e d Nation's embargo against l m - ' ports from Rhodesia.

This bill now goes to a House-Senate conference where there are expected to be strong differences on specific provisions of the legislation. In September, the Mansfield amendment was a source of conflict when House-Senate conferees met to work out differences on legislation extending the selective service act, the first piece of legislation that the amendment was attached to.

The Rhodesia amendment r e quires the President to allow Imports of chrome from Rhodesia, despite a U.N, embargo designed to pressure Rhodesia's breakaway government into a settlement with Britain on voting rights for blacks. Proponents argued that the chrome Is needed for steel production and other industrial processes.

THIS WEEK I N THE House major scheduled action includes consideration of legislation r e garding equal rights for men and women arid adoption of the Consumer Protection Act.

The Consumer Protection Act would establish within the Executive BranchaConsumer Protection Agency which would be empowered to advise the Congress and the President and promote and protect the interests of consumers.

This legislation was considered by the Government Operations Committee on which I am privileged to serve.
