ST JOHNS - The annual Soap Box Derby is an event of some import in this city, attracting entries and "Observers from all corners of Clinton County.

For thirteen years, the race has been run on the sloping grade of Clinton Avenue, St. Johns' main street, and through the combined efforts of the Jaycees and a committee lead by Bernard Feldpausch, a Chevrolet-Olds dealer, the program has developed into a full-day's affair.

Staging and preparations begin around 5:30 a.m. and by noon, the first signs of the 40-minute lead-off parage begin to appear on St. Johns' streets. Area school bands accent the festivities and vendors' of soft drinks, sandwiches . and balloons can be heard hawking their goods,

But this year, something new was added to the scene and. the addition drew much attention from the 3500 spectators who lined Clinton Avenue.

A traveling message sign, recently erected on the front or Clinton National Bank & Trust Company was put to good use throughout the day, flashing comments, observations and race results.

Staff members of the bank, including president Brandon White and executive vice president Gayle Desprez, were on hand to lend a hand, and direct telephone lines to the starting and finishing points kept operators of the equipment fully abreast of race developments.

Throughout the day, humorous and informational messages along with names of

heat participants and winners appeared on the sign in flashing or traveling lights.

At 2 points during the day, public address equipment failed and all information was relayed through CNB&T's sign. During one span of PA failure, it was learned that a little girl had been separated from her parents. Her name along with her whereabouts were flashed on the sign and soon the family was reunited,

In discussing the day's efforts, Desprez explained that "a monetary value cannot be put on the favorable public relations we earned for our bank through use of the sign on Derby day".

The sign was installed in mid-April replacing a set-in letter message panel which had graced the bank front for nearly

•10 yeajfs. The new, computer-oper^ed sign has a number of

Jdiffer^rtt 'teafures allowing

- 'whenever programmed, .*-The successful inclusion 'of Clinton National's sign into the

1 Derby program has already led . to" plans for expanded use in

next year's race. "We have-contributed first

prize of $150 savings bond for 3 years," explained White, "but notf that we can actually participate in the program it's a brand new game."

Desprez and White we're instrumental in effecting installation of the sign, which daily undergoes no less than 4 to 5 different programs.

County fights tax factor ST JOHNS - No less than 13

items, including an appeal to the State Tax Commission, and an application for federal money were acted upon by the Clinton County Board of Commissioners in a 4»A hour meeting last week.

The commissioners, minus only vice-chairman Roger Overway, discussed the

.county's appeal to the State Tax Commission on May 27 when they hope to have their 4.8% factor reduced on the state's

evaluation of Clinton County property.

Chairman Dyle Henning explained that'23 other counties in the state have factors levied on them, though he said not all of them will appeal.

The county will also attempt to get some money from the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development as the board authorized county planner Dennis Dunnigan to apply for part of the $454,000 that is being made available to Michigan this year.

The St. Johns High School Orchestra will present their sixth annual "Spring String In" Tuesday evening, June 3, at 7:30 in Pocuis Auditorium at the high school.'

There will be 2 parts to this year's concert. The first half will be of a more serious nature featuring several soloists. Seniors Barb Penix, vjolist and Jeannine Wood, Flautist will each solo with the orchestra palying Telemann concertos, while senior Scott Younglove and junior Rosa Leonard, both violinists, will perform the first movement of the Bach "Double Concerto" for two violins and orchestra,

The orchestra will also perform works by Hovhaness and Britten, along with the high school string* quartet's performance of a

'love Rides the Rails" at St. Johns High

On May 30 and 31 at 8 p.m. the St. Johns High School state championship Drama Club is presenting its final production of the season in the S.J.H.S. auditorium. For this show the group has chosen Moreland Cary's hilarious melodrama, "Love Rides the Rails."

This old-fashioned melodrama - booing, hissing, and 'cheering included - centers around the story of Simon Darkway (arch villain) seeking to control, for his own vile purposes, the Walker Valley, Pine Bush & Pacific Railroad.

Opposing him are the gallant hero of the tale Truman Pendennis, the beauteous Prudence Hopewell, the widow Hopewell, and the staunch, loyal friend of Truman Pendennis, Harold Stanfast. Assisting Darkway in his scheme are Dirk Sneath, a viper of a man, and Carlotta Cortez, the sultry siren with a heart of gold.

Swiftly and hilariously the plot unfolds, leading,to a tremendous climax when the

hero is bound by the villains to the tracks in the path of an onrushing train; but the heroine arrives in the nick of time. She stops the train and virtue stands triumphant while the evil-doers get their just deserts.

The final scene closes in a blaze of glory as Prudence flagging the onrushing train with her hastily discarded red skirt, bravely shouts, "Shall prudish modesty send those men to their deaths? No, no, a thousand times NO!!"

The play is under the direction of R.L. Koger and assistant director M. Muehlenbeck with a cast of S. J.H.S. veteran and award winning actors and performers.

For many in the cast this will be their final high school acting appearance, thus culminating a four year background that has reached into all aspects of theatre and led them to award winning records.'

We are sure that you will not want to miss this great entertainment. Tickets are $1.25 and may be purchased at the door or from drama club or cast members.

Dunnigan told the board he thought the money should be applied to protecting existing agricultural land in the county, though the chances of getting any money were slim because over 130 government units in the state are also applying for the funds.

Dunnigan also said that the maximum any unit could get "would be $25,000.

county program for senior citizen nourishment because, according to Commr. Virginia Zeeb, they haven't been given any of the funds they were promised. .

Zeeb, chairman of the Human Services Committee, said she didn't blame the other 2 counties, Ingham and Eaton, but the state. The board will now ask the state to read-minister the money through the Tri-County Aging Nutrition Consortium.

George L. Eberhard, director of the Clinton County Department . of Social Services,1

presented the Department's 1974 annual report and was questioned by Chairman Henning on why the direct relief portion of the budget had increased 8 times from the 1973 report.

Eberhard explained that costs of program like aid to dependent children and food stamps, (which are part of direct relief) had increased over the past year and the state pays for 40% of the county's cost in many social service areas.

After hearing Eberhard explain the program, the board approved the 1974 report.

Two proposals by Duane H. Chamberlain, chairman of the Land Use Committee were also approved by the board.

The first will allow the county rent from General Telephone, at a cost of $64 a month, a teletype which will hook them up with Consumers Power Co. in Royal Oak. The computer in Royal Oak will beable to tell the county whether or not underground cables exist on property that is being considered for development or alteration. Chamberlain said other units of government in and outside the county would be asked to join and Commr. Max Calder added that state 'law riowTequires local uniis to belong to a similar network or else provide their own system.

Chamberlain's other proposal amends the County Soil Erosion Act and makes it mandatory for contractors doing business with the county to make an initial cash deposit of $5000. After $5000, the contractor can pay his * deposit with a surety bond not to exceed 50% of the total cost of the project.

In other action the board: -Heard a letter from the

Lansing Law Firm of Fraser, Trebilcock, Davis and Foster defining the powers of the County Department of Public Works in relation to the Board of Commissioners.

-Heard a proposal from the City Council of DeWitt supporting a South Clinton Urban Utilities \ Authority to be operated jointly with Bath, DeWitt and Watertown Townships.

-Approved the hiring of Jerry Ambroise as an administrative assistant to the board at a salary of $10,220.

-Authorized the purchase of 3 cars for the Sheriff's Dept. from Community Dodge at a cost of $9661. r

-Were told about a meeting at the Capital City Airport Terminal in Lansing on May 28 at 3 pm concerning the relation of the terminal complex on the east side of Clinton County.^

-Agreed to let St. Johns have their commercial building plans reviewed by the county at a cost of $5 per hour instead of the state cost of $30 per hour.

-Heard that the state highway department is required by the federal government to hire an outside consultant to study the feasibility of routing a new highway. The state is now paying Wilbur Smith and Associates of Lansing $419,000 to study the routing of US-27.

Councilmen act on several items r ' (

CLINTON COUNTY NEWS, STVJ0HN5, MICHIGAN 7A

&

; Quiet meeting for DeWitt Council DEWITT - The controversy

that has invested past p&Witt City Council Meetings'.'was absent May 21 as the 5 local citizens attending were content to sit relatively quiet through the .2 hour and 15 minute meeting.

The situation was somewhat different from the special'May 15 meeting when the council decided to drop the proposed sewer* improvements for- the Lake Geneva area because of opposition from local property owners1. ]

At that meeting, the Lake • Geneva Property Owners

Association headed by Tom • Warth produced petitions showing that more than 51% of the area, property owners were against the sewer, -improvements, mostly because of costs.

Though the sewer project is now dead, council did approve issuing a special assessment and general obligation bonds to pay for the blacktoppihg of roads in the Lake Geneva area, Special assessments bonds will total $150,000 and general obligation bonds of $9000.

They will be issued Aug. 1 and the 1st interest payment will be made in September 1976.

The cloud of Watergate hovered over DeWitt for awhile when Mayor Pro-tem Gary Gillespie brought out the Planning ^Commission's recommendation that the city purchase a tape recorder. The Planning Commission wanted the recorder 'to tape their meetings, but several council

.members agreed that, if the recorder is purchased, it would be for the use of all city officials. Then, Councilman Charles' Bauer, raised the questions whether or not it would be legal to tape i City Council meetings.

f*

DeWitt, near Lakef Geneva on the'basis of a letter from Don Oderkirk, Mid-Michigan Health, Dept Oderkirk said because of, high water levels in 5 of the 10 blocks, the Health Dept./ couldn't recommend them as", buildable sites.

In other action, the council: '-Instructed Police Chief

Wendell Myers to'have his force

answer all calls to the residence of Mrs, Margaret Faught, but return if no criminal action is found. Mrs. Faught has complained several times to police about children fishing on her private ^ 'property" and Councilman Bauer said she has tied up police in what is essentially a civil matter.

-Voted to have the city at-,

torney and the police committee' look into the problem of open pits on land being developed on Manchester1 and West Geneva Rd.

-Instructed the city clerk, Dorothy Keck, to get the city's application in for federal * revenue sharing funds.

-Approved the hiring ofilO

DeWitt VFW Post and Auxiliary install officers

What Medicare doesn't cover

By Sidney N. Manning District Manager Social Security Administration

First in a Series*

Most people have a pretty good idea of what Medicare covers. They know that it helps pay for most major health care — for example, inpatient 'hospital ,care and doctors' services during an illness. But what are the things Medicare l does not cover?

That question, according to Sid Manning, social security district1 manager in Lansing, is one that people frequently ask about Medicare.

"The completely new edition" »of Your Medicare Handbook iianswers this question," Manning said.

The new handbook was mailed by the Social Security Administration to more than 23 million aged and disabled Medicare beneficiaries, and to hospitals, doctors, and other health care professionals late last year. Anyone who for some reason did not receive a handbook can pick up a copy at any social security office.

"A prime feature" of the new handbook," Manning said, "is a comprehensive listing of services and , supplies that Medicare does not cover, as well as those it covers only under certain conditions."

"For example," he said, "Medicare does not pay for preventive medicine, such asi physical checkups and routine' eye and hearing examinations. Drugs and medicines the beneficiary buys himself are not covered. Neither are eyeglasses or dentures.'

Another chapter in the new handbook describes two other important rules about Medicare coverage according to Manning.

"Just because a beneficiary is in a hospital or other health facility does not automatically guarantee (Hat his expense will be covered," he said.

"Medicare cannot cover care that , is not considered reasonable and necessary for the treatment of an illness or injury, even though it is furnished in a 'hospital or skilled nursing facility participating in Medicare. Also not covered is a hospital* or- skilled nursing facility stay, when primarily custodial care is provided — such as help walking, getting in and out of bed, bathing, dressing, eating and taking medicine."

The handbook also contains tables showing what services are covered and what services

\ '

are not covered when a beneficiary is in a hospital or skilled nursing facility, or is receiving care from a home health agency or a doctor. .

Some types ofl care and some certain conditions or in specific situations. For example, Medicare does not cover health care outside the US except for certain situations involving Canadian or Mexican hospitals., These are also explained in the new handbook.

"Many beneficiaries," Manning said, "assume that whatever ' their doctor , prescribes for their treatment-is automatically covered under Medicare. This isn't always true, and we hope that the new Medicare handbook will clear up this misconception." i ^Manning said evecy

beneficiary should keep *his handbook in a safe place so that he will have it when he needs information about Medicare. "To find out whatvpage the information-is on/' he said, "all he has to do is look up the subject in the,index."

When a beneficiary can't find the information he needs in the handbook, he can get it by-simply calling any social security office, Manning said.'

Advise livestock farmers to hedge EAST LANSING -- In the face

of lowering prices, Michigan livestock producers may benefit from hedging, but they must act quickly, advises George Dike, Michigan State University agricultural economist,

"Prices cattlemen receive for choice steers recently reached a high of $50 per hundredweight, but those high prices have already begun to lower," Dike explains. He expects a slow price decline to the low 40s by early 1976.

"Cattlemen can avoid even lower prices by* locking in a favorable price with a futures contract. When nearby futures are high, distant futures also tend to increase, sometimes as an overreaction, according to Dike.

"If a farmer prices his corn for feed at $2.25 per bushel and buys calves ' at $35-$36 per hundredweight, he can sell those calves as choice steers at , $40 per* hundredweight ahd break even," calculates Roy Black, MSU ag economist. "If you buy yearling steers for $35 and feed them $2.25 corn, you can break even by selling at $40," '

If com is priced at $2, a farmer can break even by buying feeder calves for $40 ahd yearling .steers for $36.

Yearling feeders may benefit most- with nearby (June or August) Mures)contracts, if they schedule their sales for the month before the contract matures. v

Unavoidably, there will be increasing beef supplies, Dike points out. Cattlemen are selling more heifers and cull1

cows for slaughter.

"If It Fife.... M?y 28,1975

\

Dick Brown included the following thoughts in his Ingham County News column recently and we feel it deserves passing along to others;

Last week a disgruntled town resident camp up with the remark , that "The trouble with this town is that the,same old clique is

running city hall.*** , , ; ' He got a little hostile when I asked him how many council

sessions he had attended and how many, times he had expressed his own views to city coiincilmerf.

The trouble with most communities is that too few want to do anything except bellyache. Councils, township boards and school boards are genuinely interested in providing better services and doing better jobs. They make mistakes, sure, but they are constantly trying to do a better job and provide better communities.

What is lacking is the interest on the part of the general public. Most communities have a lot going for them. They have good schools, good public services, a full spectrum of active churches. Sure there is rpom for improvement but that improvement would come easier and faster if more people acted constructively instead of negatively complaining. *

A growing progressive community must be sold. It must be sold to ourselves before we can sell it to others.

So, let's quit bellyaching for bellyaching's sake. Let's think positive. If something is being done wrong by the city council, the school board, the township board, then speak out but do it in a positive manner. Attend the meetings to point out the error of the way things are being done. Crabbing on the street corner, over the ,coffee cup or over4he back yard fence isn't the way.

"When the government agent came, he said, 'You must not be greedy, little red hen,'

" 'But I earned the bread,' said the little red hen.

" 'Exactly,' said the agent 'That is the wonderful free enterprise system! S Any body in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But under our modern government regulations, the productive workers, must divide their product with the idle.' ' 7

In* two separate moves Tuesday night, DeWitt township trustees took -action that will heighten conflicts^etween their board and county. The 1st was an agreement to let stand their 1973 assessment appeal to the State Tax Commission, despite pressure from county officials who say the appeal caused a

'recently applied 10 percent factor on the county. The 2nd was a vote to sue the County Dept of Public Works <DPW> for what township officials call stalling on determination of who owns the sewage treatment plant in the township.

Construction bids for the proposed St, Johns storm sewer project were opened Wednesday afternoon, the lowest figure approximately $1,500,000, and very near the amount currently funded for the project.

In fact, the Pentagon and the White House were so unemotional about the earlier bombing of Cambodia, they were comatose.

No emotional involvement. Clinical have to be determined in triplicate while the bombing is something like kissing your ugly clinical bombs fell. All is fair in war. (All used to be fair in love, too, but that was before the toupee and the padded bra.)

But certainly Sen Buckley wasjipt recommending the Red Cross be used as a bullseye. 1 made an apt turn to my American Heritage dictionary. After wading through all the medical definitions of clinical, I discovered this possibility:

FARM BUREAU

NEWS

May 28,1975

Why I am proud to be an American By Mark Le Clear

. Bath High School

The following Is the first in the printing of the winning essays in the Young Peoples Citizenship-Seminar competition. Three county schools participated in

Asparagus sale success The sale of Michigan

asparagus held the first 2 weeks in May was a success — 225 twenty pound cartons were sold and delivered to the county Farm Bureau office on May 22.

> The asparagus was harvested

by snapping and had very little

f waste. It is considered one of the most nutritious foods we can eat. •

Plans are being made to offer frozen cherries, strawberries, blueberries, apple slices and several varieties of frozen vegetables. This sale will take place in August,

Land use becomes more important

An increasingly important within legislative and regulatory group is land use. Land use legislation is now pending in both the Michigan Legislature and United States Congress. It is also the subject of proposals and regulations coming from various government agencies.

With ~an estimated one-third of Michigan's 36 million acres being agricultural land/ the-, land use issue is of concern to farmers. There is a need for more prudent land use decisions to minimize (the serious pressures facing good agricultural lands. However, where the decisions are made to provide orderly development of land resources is a key part of the issue.

Last December, voting delegates to the Michigan Farm Bureau Annual Meeting adopted a land use policy with emphasis the need for local land use planning. In an effort to develop a better understanding of, land use proposals and local in-

Most frequent causes of building fires are, in this order: electrical; smoking and matches; heating and cooking equipment; children and matches; open flames and sparks; incendiary or suspicious actions; flammable liquids; lightning; chimneys and flues; and spontaneous igtaition.. Faulty, and misused^ electrical .installations and-equipment, which lead the list, are responsible for nearly .150 thousand fires each year.

volvement in land use planning, the Michigan Farm Bureau Board of Directors has recently asked that County Farm Bureaus appoint a Land Use Committee. These Committees will receive periodic information on the status of sate

and federal land use legislation affecting local land use planning. Information on county and township-land use planning Will also be supplied. When needed multi county or statewide land use meetings will be called for the Committee members to discuss land use. >

The issue of federal land use planning has developed in the 94th congress to the point that a major bill H.R. 3510 has been planned in the House Interior and Insular Affairs Committee. Soon consideration of this bill entitled Land Use and Resource Conservation Act of 1975 will begin. This bill is not consistent with Farm1 Bureau policy.

Historically the authority to regulate land use has been vested with state and local government: Although the past performance of state „arid local governments in land use planning has been slow,

noticeable progress is now being made to plan for the orderly use of land resources, H.R. would involve the federal government in many land use decisions. Farm Bureau

members are urged to write their U.S. Representative and express opposition-to'.HfR. 3510 which would lead to federal intervention in land use planning.

the contest including St. Johns, DeWitt and Bath and 6 students were selected to attend the week long seminar to be held at Albion College, June '23-27,

There will be 2 representing each school. The Seminar is sponsored by the Michigan Farm Bureau and .features world renouned lecturers and educators as instructors,

"One reason why I am proud to be an American would have to be nationalism. Everyone in the world has this .certain feeling for their country or nation. But this is not the greatest reason. What country has the greatest say in government? Who has more freedom? Who is greater entertained? Who is the most well educated? Where are foreigners' greeted the best? Where are there more sports? Who is the strongest nation militarily?

The answer to all these questions and many more like them is AMERICA! It is very

• The regular May board meeting ' was cancelled after about a V2 hour session due to the lack of a quorum.

Many of tire board members worked late in the field and when severe weather signs appeared around 9 p.m. it was decided to cancel the meeting for the month.

At the board meeting the date of county annual meeting was set for Oct. 14 at Smith Hall.

At large delegates to the State annual were named recently by the nominating committee.

They are as follows: Bob Fox, John Kowatch, Victor LaRue, Max Miller, Harold Lietzke, David Morris, Art Motz and Paul Seeger. The county is entitled to 14 and the remainder will come from the Board of Directors.

Japanese host family. In 1974 Clinton County was one of the original 16 pilot counties with this exchange and hosted seven Japanese youth. This summer Clinton County will send seven 4-H'ers to Japan for four weeks. The delegates are: Leslie Kuenzli, Leslie Fongers, Doug Thelen of St. Johns, Joanna Nichols of DeWitt, Karen & Kay Invest of Elsie and Natalie Brooks of East Lansing. They are tentatively set to leave July 23rd to spend 4 weeks in Japan. The cost of sending one delegate is $850.00.

The goals of the Japan - Labo -Michigan 4-H Exchange is to provide the opportunity for young people of two different cultures to establish a close relationship through people - to -people encounters in host home stays; to provide the experience whereby young people can better appreciate, understand and evaluate their own people and culture and to promote friendships among the families,

The timing of the visit is very rigid,' because Japanese children only have a 40-day summer vacation from school. While they attend school, they are much too busy to participate in any other activity. The Labor International Exchange Foundation is a Japanese owned and administered organization, which is approved by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. PHOTOGRAPHY PROGRAM The 4-H Photography

members .and leaders were treated to a special program on Creative Use of Instamatic Cameras. Mr. Donald DeKoninck of the Lansing Community College showed slides that he took with an inexpensive instamatic camera and explained how different types of pictures could be taken with various adjustments. One hint given by Mr. DeKoninck to extend the life of color film ipcludeSjf eezjng^he fihajuntU,

- ready" to'putr iirthe camera,' provided you allow the film four hours to come to-room temperature. Many people waste flash bulbs and film by trying to shoot too far a distance with flash bulbs. The next photography session will be June 25th on visiting Radino's photography studio and Sleepy Hollow State Park to take pictures. HORTICULTURAL SESSION The horticulture members

working on identification held their third session under the leadership of Anabel Peck. They worked on learning»to

identify vegetables and fruit by tasting as well as visibly identifying the items. The next practice session will be" Monday, June 2, 7-9 p.m. at the Extension Office.

THAT'S A LOT OF GLASS

The May collection of the glass bottle collection was 25,580 pounds, which was handled by the Ovid Fifth Grade groupimder the direction of Mr. Al Dickens. The total glass collected to date since October, 1970, is now 790,300 pounds that has been recycled into new products, instead of being thrown away.

Don't hesitate to cut flowers from" spring-flowering bulbs. It's good for them. Horticulturists at M.S.U. say that bulbs become stronger when flowers are removed, because they don't spend a lot of energy maturing the flowers and producing seeds.

Flowers that are not cut for indoor arrangements should be removed from the plants as soon as they fade. Do not cut off * the green leaves - they are needed to produce food for next year.

* * * * Pop keeps cut flowers looking

good longer. Soft drinks, like 7-Up and Sprite, lengthen the vase-life of flowers by providing them with citric acid and carbonation that help control microorganisms affecting stem firmness. The sugar in the pop helps sustain the life of the flowers. To use this unique, preservative, mix equal parts of

•water and the soft drink and half a teaspoon of bleach to each quart of the mixture. The

The best way to keep your hospital costs down is to stay out of the hospital! And a constant use of safety practices when using machinery will go a long way toward keeping you out of the hospital.

So, when operating 'farm machinery -- read the operator's manual and its comments on Safe machine operation. Keep all guards and shields jn place, stop the machine before getting off, shut down the power before making adjustments and wear tight fitting clothing that won't get caught in the machine,

Always have safe machine operation on your mind when operating farm equipment,

Michigan Seniors Coalition held its first annual meeting, 'May 5, at Alma College, There were 16 areas including two from the Upper Peninsula represented.

The Steering Committee of -this group, elected at the Oc

tober' 1974 meeting in Lansing, has been hard at ,work. This group fosters state-wide cooperation between Michigan Senior Citizens groups in order to promote the welfare of these citizens.

Mrs James Dorman and Mrs Leila Wilson of the Elsie Senior Citizens Club represented Area 7 which included Bay, Saginaw, Gratiot, Shiawassee and Clinton C o u n t i e s ; c h o s e n geographically.

Registration and coffee began at 9:30 am and the day-long session was filled with a program of talks, discussions, further organization and election of officers.

The keynote address was given by Margaret Hossack of Detroit, who heads the Michigan Society of Gerontology. She reviewed the history of the Senior Coalition in Michigan and its purpose which is to coordinate for greater effectiveness the varied and important programs and activities in their efforts to improve the welfare of the elderly population of the State of Michigan.

This Coalition will try to carry out the decisions and promises given at the 1971 National White House Conference, Mrs Hossack reminded the delegates of hearings being held through July and August. She said too much money is being spent on "Information Referral Systems". The office on Services to the Aging expires in July and nothing is being done about it. She spoke of the Board of "Education Community Education Act, which states that school can be used for meetings of senior citizens,

tended to attend a meeting at Roscommon on May 13 of the Regional Conference on Aging,

The following new officers were elected for the Michigan Coalition: president, Enos G.

Cheasanirig eliminates O-E from tourney

Chesaning eliminated Ovid-Elsie from Michigan State High School Athletic Association tournament baseball May 16 by pulling out a 3-2 victory in the 7th inning.

Winning pitcher Doug Mort allowed O-E just 4 hits while his teammates banged out 10 safeties, but O-E made it tense with a 2-run rally to tie the score in the 5th inning.

Chesaning took the lead with 2 •runs in the 2nd inning on a double and 2 singles.

Jack Bashore singled home Glen Schmidtfranz and Jim Quine scored Jack Cook on a bases-loaded sacrifice fly to account for O-E's scoring.

Chesaning won it with 2 out in the top of the 7th inning. Mort singled, stole 2nd and scored on a bad-hop single over third base.

"We missed a great opportunity to score in the 6th inning when we put men on 2nd and 3rd with no out, but the next 2 batters were struck out and the last grounded out," said coach Jack Nutter. "We missed another chance in the '7th as Jack Bashore was robbed of a hit by a tremendous catch by centerfielder Larry Mishler. Mark Hudecek doubled off the fence in right-center, and if Bashore had been on, it would have tied the game. Then we couldn't bring Hudecek around."

Chesaning, which went on to meet Mason in the district tournament, had only lost 1 game going into the O-E contest. The Indians were 10-0 in the Mid-Michigan B and had clinched the title.

Butenuth of Van Buren'Countyj 1st vice-president, Edward * Tilma of Kent County; 2nd vice-president, John Dombroski of Iron County; 3rd vice-president, Blanche Townsend of Lake County; -secretary, Levi D. Godwin of Chippewa County; and treasurer, Margaret Federspiel of Montcalm County.

The Board of Directors consists of the elected officers of the Michigan Seniors Coalition plus one delegate from each of the 16 areas. Mrs Leila Wilson of Elsie was chosen for Area 7.

Michigan Senior Coalition believes that by joining their voices, older people in Michigan can amplify their voice and j bring to bear in government, interest in creating needed opportunities for better living the later years.

Marauders lose season

baseball finale to Swan Valley Ovid-Elsie started off (heir,

last baseball game with both barrels blazing but found Swan Valley more than equal to the occasion last week. The Marauders dropped a 10-5 decision afterleading 3-0 in the first inning.

It was a pitchers' nightmare -each team slammed 12 hits -and the fielders didn't exactly have the best time, either « each team committed 3 errors.

But the hitters enjoyed themselves. Swan Valley's Matt Eddy clouted a home run to help his'Qwn cause; he finished, as

« i-uThe delegates wereourged to^^^p iS iMp^p i t^^ fe^^^S^f Qi, have their groups write to1"" O&mffiwfifl&SrmC*"* President Ford, Hart and Dean Hibbler doubled, Mark Griffin telling them that we are Hudecek (losing pitcher) supporting the 5% or 8% that^'sirtgled'ltinrhome and taking

doubles in addition to the homer. Three more runs came in for SV in the 6th on a costly error, a walk, a hit batter and a single. That put the Vikes up 10-

Ovid-Elsie broke" its own scoring drought with a solo run in the 7th when Hudecek doubled, Quine was safe on an error and Martin collected his 3rd hit of the day by knocking in Hudecek.

The hitting? Well, the wind helped a little there, said coach Jack Nutter. "There was a real hard wind blowing straight out,

Mrs Hossack spoke of the danger of present laws which give the Governor full power without any legislation. Many bills never reach a hearing, some of them are written on scratch paper — one copy only — and never reach a hearing.

The business meeting included a little controversy over the- by-laws which were finally accepted with a small amendment. An invitation was ex-

2nd on the play at the plate. Jim Quine singled home Hudecek and also went to 2nd on the play. He came home on Gregg Martin's base hit.

Swan Valley picked up a run in the 2nd inning on an error and a double, then countered O-E's one run in the 3rd by scoring 3 of its own to tie the score at 4-4. Four consecutive singles did the job in that inning. Eddy got his homer in the 3-run 5th inning, a frame that saw Swan Valley's Vikings bust the game loose with 2 singles and back-to-back

The "same ptichers hafl*hool&d1

up in a pitchers' duel that we won 1-0 at our place earlier in the season." - «-**--*«.*».

The game left Ovid-Elsie with a final season record of 9-10 overall and 6-6 in the conference. Final Mid-Michigan B league standings were not available by deadline time, however, since the other league teams had games left to play. "We will end up anywhere from 2nd to 4th place," said Nutter.

Seniors on the Marauder team who got 2 hits in their last appearance were Dean Hibbler, Mark Hudecek, Jim Quine and Brian Welton. Gregg Martin sang his swan song with 3 hits.

I was for it before I read it. Now I've read it and I'm still for it. I'm talking about the comprehensive political reform bill introduced this last week. Most everyone, news media and legislators alike, gave support to the concept as Common Cause worked with a bipartisari legislative group to draft the bill. It turned out to be 70 pages long, difficult to digest in a hurry.

As legislators and news media have more lime to work their way through the proposal we are hearing initial praise

, turn to criticism. Well I've read it and I still support it. I hope criUcism^of some details of the proposals does not result in stalling the much needed broad reforms.

i*

Financial disclosure, on the part of public officials is long overdue. As I vote on a broad range of public issues you have a right to know if I will personally benefit I own farmland and will personally benefit from( reduced agricultural taxes. So' will other farmers whom I represent so I feel perfectly free to debate and vote on this issue. But I Want you to know'of the extent of my personal in :

voWement. My personal financial statement and income tax records are available to.'any citizen who cares to come to' my office to examine them. I annually circulate them to,news media in oUr district. I find no really acceptable argument

—against this being a necessity for other similar public officials.

THE SAME IS true for lob

byists. All their expenditures should be public information. If someone doesn't want it known they bought me lunch they ought not to buy it, If I think it would be embarrasing for my constituents to discover who I eat with, I better switch luncheon companions or buy my own.

Likewise for campaign contributions. If you know what kinds of people are paying the shot you have a good indication of how the guy will vote. If you

lind the UAW, the physicians .and the school teachers are my major supporters you have little reason to be surprised when I vote with these groups. Or vise versa if they seemed to heavily favor my opponent.

The only criticism of the comprehensive reform proposal that seems valid is that it may not haye gone for enough in certain areas.

But its a giant step forward from where we are, We should adopt it.

Here's help for motorist right tires for his driving

If choosing the right tires for your car gives you as much anguish as the kid with a nickel in a candy store, then here are some basics to help you. With the profusion of design types and materials, confusion is understandable.

According to the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) there are three different. tire con-structions prevalent today.

BIAS TIRES may have two, four or more body plies of rayon, nylon polyester or other materials. Basic fibers cross at an angle of about 35 degrees with the center line of the tire strengthening both sldewall and tread. Alternate plies extend in oppo

site directions. In normal, light duty

driving, bias tires should 'be sufficient.

BELTED BIAS TIRES (Heavy Duty Tires) have a body similar to that of bias tires, plus two more belts under the tread. This construction strengthens

.the sidewall and gives greater stability to the tread. Tread life is length-. ened since the belts reduce tread motion on the road.

. Glass belting is often used in belted bias tires helping resist flex and running, cooler.

RADIAL TIRES have body cords extending from bead to bead. Cords run at an angle of about 90 degrees "radial" to. the

in choosing needs

tire circumferential cen-- ter line. Two or more layers

of relatively rigid belts are • found under the tread.

This construction gives greater strength to the tread area and flexibility of the sidewall. The belts restrict tread motion during contact with the road. Tread life, traction and gasoline mileage are improved with radial tires, particularly the steel belted variety.

if you are putting two new tires on your car, mount them on the rear wheels. This will provide better traction, handling and blowout protection. If you're putting a single new tire on, pair it with the best remaining one on the rear axle.

Know how to tell when When the red light or

gauge on your dashboard warns of low oil pressure, there's generally time to do something about it. But when you get warnings of something amiss in your steering system, it could be a sign that potentially-dangerous and expensive repair damage has already been done.

That's one reason it pays to have your favorite car service man check the front end at every opportunity. And that's why one should keep components in proper alignment, state

Belts help reduce car fatalities

Hospitals in Australia are reporting a drop of 24% in bed occupancy since the introduction of mandatory seat belt wearing legislation.

In Victoria the belt wearing law has been in two years, and they have experienced a. 20.8% reduction in road deaths. In the rest of Australia the seat belt law is just one year old, and there has, already been a 17.2% reduction in automobile deaths throughout the country. Serious injuries, they stated, have been reduced by about 50%.

THE INSIDE STORY A device allowing me

chanics to look inside an automobile engine without disassembling the engine has been developed by American Optical. This flexible fiber rod contains its own source of cold light and saves service personnel time and labor.

Emblems, like locks of love's hair, help keep affair with old cars.warm

Many a romantic has" snipped a lock of his. true love's hair as a memento. When a man has a lifelong affection for automobiles, he has to find another way to keep fond memories alive.

That's why Harry Gins-burg, an auto parts store owner f romHowell, Michigan, has amassed what may be th&largest collection of auto emblems in private hands. Qinsburg has nearly 500 of these emblems dating from the turn of the century to some designed for vehicles not even on the road yet.

Macabre beginning Birth of Ginsburg's hob

by had a rather macabre beginning. He said, "When I was a child in Kimbal, West Virginia, there was & dangerous mountain road that took its toll of many cars. Times were really hard and we kids used to scavenge what we could from the wrecks. The little' emblems caught my eye

* and I'd pop them off and , put them In my pocket."

Later when the Gins-burg family moved to Howell, his l a t h e r Sol opened an auto junk yard. As cars were scrapped, young Harry - would remove the emblems and store them in an old car trunk. Before he knew it he had collected a sizeable number of the decorative symbols.

Worth hundreds ,. Mr. Glnsburg doesn't know actually how valuable his collection is. He said, "I have one hood ornament from a Pierce Arrow that I've been offered several hundred dollars Ifor. But I'm not

' interested in selling. My son, Scott, loves my collection almost as much as I do and it's going to be a legacy to him."

Although he owns' clas-sifi emblemsfhe does not indulge in collecting classic cars, He beams, "I love to help friends restore classic cars. If people today realized that the cars they are driving could be valuable classics some day, they'd probably take better care of them."

Mr. Ginsburg's eye for posterity was demonstrated vividly when he

There's one "cat" that doesn't have nine lives. That's a catalytic converter on 1975 model cars. Prolonged use of leaded fuel will kill the effectiveness of the pollution-fighting unit-

The converter's job is to change carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HO) emissions into harmless carbon dioxide and water. Catalysts of ceramic beads and inert metallic pellets are used in the process. ~ -

Leaded fuel coats the pellet with lead deposits and renders them ineffective. As a result harmful emissions escape the muffler-like unit and enter the atmosphere. While the. car would perform normally, pollution levels would exceed legislated levels.

Designed to function tor a minimum of 50,000 miles, the converters also are expected to help improve gasoline mileage.

Unleaded gasoline is now available at most gas stations in the U.S. The gas is expected to be carried by outlets in Canada and Mexico, particularly, in areas where U.S. cars frequently travel. -

Should you be out of gas in an area where lead-free fuel is not available, then..

How would you like to save yourself nearly $110?

If your car is one- of those described by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other sources as wasting as much as 25 per cent.of TTs gasoline supply, then such savings are possible.

Simple mathematics tell the story.

Say your car travels 15,000 miles a year and is capable of getting 15 miles per gallon.

If you are paying 60

cents a gallon for fuel, your annual expenditure would be $600.

Should you be losing 25 per cent in gas wasted, then you are out $150.

According to that same EPA report, keeping an automobile tuned up can improve fuel economy. And a recent Champion Spark Plug~Company survey shows the average cost of a tune-up today is around $42,

These rules may -help you get out of sinking automobile

The job of the catalytic converter is to change the "dragon's breath11 of HC and CO pollutants into emissions of harmless carbon dioxide and water vapor. In' order to achieve this environment-plus, converters must'avoid leaded gasoline. 1975 cars equipped with catalytic converters are designed to run on unleaded fuel and gasoline filler apertures only can accommodate nozzles from pumps issuing lead-free gasoline. ^^

buy enough gas to get you to a' station where the proper fuel is sold. A con

verter can tolerate an occasional usage of leaded* fuel, since the heat of the oxidation will burn off lead deposits once unleaded fuel is reinstalled. The catalyst will then, return io full efficiency.

To prevent inadvertent filling with leaded fuel, a

smaller gas filler neck is found on 1975 cars. Thus nozzles at gas pumps will be adaptable for unleaded fuel, not for the leaded variety. r

If you are ever unlucky enough to be in a car that enters deep water, .the Canada Safety Council offers some advice.

A car floats for a short time after hitting the water in a near horizontal position irrespective of how it hit the water. The time varies with make from a few seconds to -three or four minutes, after which It sinks vertiJ

cally, engine end first Rules for escape are;

1. Immediately after hitting the water, release your safety bell. __ " 2. Open door windows,

movable roof (if any),,, a n d / o r back .window. Leave the car via the best route as quickly as possible. During the floating period, it will be difficult to open ihedoors because

of water pressure from the outside. _

3. If it is impossible to leave the car while floating, the car doors can usually be opened underwater .because outside pressure of water has been equalized.

4. If the car is damaged to the extent that none of these ways of escape can be taken, use the feet or shoulders to re- ' move the front or back window by pushing it out. This can best be done by pushing in the corners.

When a car sinks in water, outside and inside lights should be switched on if possible. This lessens confusion in the vehicle, and makes location from above .easier.

So a tune-up every 10,-000 miles plus necessary minor adjustments along the way can save- you a nice hunk of change.

Even if your car saves the U.S. and Canadian average of 8.2 per cent after a needed tune-up, you'll still save more in fuel costs than the price of the work. Gas savings under' the circumstances described above would be just below $50 per year."

According to David L. Walker, Champion's director of automotive technical services, gasoline savings are only part of "the value of a good engine tune-up.

Mr. Walker said, "In every test we've ever conducted, we've found a tuned car has better foul-weather starting success than a car in need-of a tune-up. In fact, untuned cars have twice as many 'won't starts' than tuned cars."- i

A road service call for a start in a remote location where a tow is needed may cost about half, the price of a ;tune-up, he noted.

Tune-up benefits that may not result in cash savings still make driving-safer and more pleasure-able.—

In tests conducted by

Champion, emission levels were sharply reduced after tune-up. Average carbon monoxide (CO) emissions were reduced 50 per cent (at idle) and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions were 47 per cent lower (also at idle) after tune-up.

Performance is also improved after tune-up, Mr. Walker noted. In mobile dynamometer tests conducted by Champion, there was an<8.6 per cent increase in power and an 8,0 per cent decrease in passing distance after tune-up.

A BOOK REVIEW

Guide tells how to save on gas through car care, good driving Dean of automotive editors puts

it all in informative book "Save Money, Save Gas".

by Robert W. Jrvin, Enterprise Publications,' New York — Other than to stop eating, there is practically no way to save -money readily, than to cut down on gasoline consumption. If you are typical, you may not be able to reduce the amount of driving you do. But Bob. Irvin, the dean of automotive editors, has written a definitive guide to help you make that driving cost a whole lot less.

Irvin writes, "One thing is true for every car — you,can improve fuel economy by better maintenance and car care." And he proves it.

Tune-up benefits Defining a tune-up as

checking the carburetor^ the engine compression, cleaning or replacing the air cleaner element, gapping or replacing the spark

plugs or distributor points, Irvin explains the benefits.

The author quotes the U.S. Environmental Agency which says, "Keeping an automobile tuned up can, on the average, improve fuel economy 6 per cent as compared to an untuned automobile. However! an individual vehicle which Is grossly maladjusted or undermaintalned — for example, spark plug-misfire, air niters clogged, carburetor improperly adjusted—can suffer significantly worse fuel economy penalties of 20 per cent • or more.'-'

Packed into the 95 pages of the book are numerous gas-saving tips that have eluded -many writers pn the subject. Irvin 'points out that Les Viland, an

' economy • run veteran, is an advocate of waxing the vehicle, even the tires and fan blades, as an aid-to better gasoline mileage.

Exhibiting car focuses attention on need for service Late last summer, a

young Port Huron, Michigan, woman hit it lucky twice. Her first bit of fortune was finding a buyer* for the X966 model car she was selling.

Her second stroke of luck was being alive.

An official of the Car Care Council (CCC) hap-pened to be looking for a

' car just like the one Susie Smith (not her real name) was driving. The CCC was seeking out a vehicle currently being driven, yet in such poor condition that it was a menace to the driver and other people on the road.

After purchasing the "accident going someplace to happen," the Council dubbed the vehicle "Calamity Jane," and used it to inaugurate a, nationwide motorists education program.

Among the dangerous conditions plaguing the car were defective brakes, bald tires, misaligned wheels, .bad shocks, faulty steering — any one of which could have helped causea fatal accident.

The car's exhaust sys-

tern was rotted away, a condition made even more hazardous by the fact that body and undercarriage rust 'provided a tailor-made conduit for lethal carbon monoxide fumes.

The water pump was loose and leaking, head-

* lights misaligned and the ignition system so-badly neglected that starting the car was a major task.

A . CCC spokesman remarked, "Jane was emitting sp much pollution that the analyzing device couldn't even record the amount. Emissions knocked the needle clear off the dial.". '

The Council used Calamity Jane.-with roof painted a luminous red for DANGER, as a center piece for Car Care Week in. Port Huron. The car was towed (not driven) to various locations to show students and other groups how neglected a car can. be. and still be allowed on the highway.

"Jane" also was the center of attention in an Emissions Check Lane program sponsored, by'the local Jaycees.

CCC reports that .the week helped build interest in car care in the Michigan

community. It also accomplished 'another aim.

One local observer put it this way, "It makes me shudder to think that a car like that was operating on our streets only a few months ago. And I bet there are a lot more like that one. When the (bleep) are we going to get compulsory vehicle inspection in this state?"

Michigan is one of 19 states that does not have a compulsory inspection law.

"Calamity Jane" was taken out to Port Huron High School to give driver training tttudenls an understanding of the importance of good car maintenance.'

Antifreeze is a misnomer

Shields engine from heat as well as cold If you feel installing new

antifreeze in the spring Is like celebrating Christmas in July, then the new facts of motoring life haven't been made clear to you. When last winter's short supplies of antifreeze hit the car-owning public, a n u m b e r of car owners either did without a fresh change or paid premium prices.

What these motorists may not have realized is there is no urgency to change antifreeze in late fall or early winter. I t makes sense to change it any time a change is heeded — in July as well as January.

Actually, car experts say, antifreeze is a mis

nomer. Coolant antifreeze is a more accurate description of the product. It is designed to both protect against the rigors of subzero weather and the plus 250°P operation of a modern, high compression engine in summer.

So installing a fresh cooling system protection may be smarter at times when the car's air conditioning is going full blast and warm air temperatures are making engines run hotter.

Most cars are purchased new in w a r m w e a t h e r months. Therefore, if one heeds recommendations of annual changes of coolant

an t i f r eeze , t h e n t h e change should come in these same warm weather time periods.

Historic patterns of late fall antifreeze changes date back to times when alcohol or methanol were used as bases of the prod-.uct. These boiled away when warm weather came so it was important to put in new supplies when weather got cold again. Today's coolant base is ethylene glycol that can withstand both cold and hot temperatures.

Installing new coolant antifreeze at this time of year may save you money and long waits for the

product next fall when most motorists start to

worry about the need for change.

SHINING EXAMPLES A survey in Great Brit

ain reveals that among those who polish then-cars regularly, 58 per cent have never had i n accident. Only 31 per cent of those who don't polish cars could claim such distinction.

BREAK IN TIRES Tires need a break-in

period when new. Keep well within the speed limit to help tires "adjust" to other tires on the car so they can function as an integral unit.

CARS, DRIVERS ARE SAFER

While the current highway d e a t h r a t e of 4.5 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles is a grim statistic, it's a vast improvement over the 1930 figure. In that year, the rate was 16.5 deaths per 100 million miles.

CLEANER AIR New Jersey's mandatory

emissions inspection program is expected to reduce carbon monoxide emissions by more than 20 per cent in its first year of operation.

Increasing automobile efficiency will be big help "The American economy

now consumes about 17 million barrels of oil each day. Our Inability to meet this demand from domestic supplies has forced us into increasing depend-, ence on the oil-rich Middle East and other foreign suppliers."

So says a statement

\ from the U.S. Department of Transportation, specially prepared for this supplement to present the government's point of view on the gasoline crunch.

The statement continues. Transportation accounts

for nearly 60, per cent of all the liquid fuel consumed in the United States

and the more than 102 million automobiles registered throughout the nation account for approximately hair of transportation's total use.

Fights inflation Obviously, increasing

the fuel efficiency of our cars will go a long way toward decreasing our demand for petroleum and easing the inflationary pressure created by that demand.

President Ford has established the goal of increasing the fuel efficiency of the 1980 model cars by

^40 per cent over 1974 models. Our research indicates that the President's goal is entirely reasonable and t ha t the goal can be reached by the*, manufacturers through improved technology, engine resizing and a relatively limited marketing shift to smaller cars. Indeed, the average fuel economy of 1975 model automobiles has already brought about a 13.5 per cent improve-,, ment over 1974 models — a major step toward the President's goal.

Need action now But President Ford has

emphasized the urgency of whipping inflation now. To bank on the long range solutions of increasing domestic energy supplies and improving automobile fuel efficiency is like praying for rain while flames lick through the roof of the house.

President Ford struck at the heart of the matter when delivering his address on the economy last October he asked all of us to reduce our driving by

• 5 per cent in the effort to both curb inflation and to ease the energy demand.

Actually, the President's request was a modest one. Our studies Indicate the average car owner could reduce his driving by 10 per cent without seriously affecting his job or living standard.

Save 10 billion If t ha i average car

owner, now driving 13,000 miles a year, would cut his driving by 10 per cent he would save some 100 gallons of fuel annually. And, if, the 100 million-plus cars on the rpad each achieved similar reductions, .the savings would exceed 10 billion-gallons of gasoline a year with the very significant sav- « ings in fuel cost of $5 billion.

The plain truth is that most of us too casually and too wastefully use our automobiles at needless cost to ourselves and to the disadvantage of our society. Many trips are made for purposes of dubious value. And the number of worthwhile trips could be greatly reduced by better planning and organizing our daily routines.

Double up, save Although the typical car

seats four persons, its urban work trip occupancy averages only 1.4 persons. This statistic tops all others in supporting the

charge of waste and inefficiency in the national transportation system. Raising the occupancy rate nationwide to an average or even two persons per automobile would save an extraordinary five billion gallons of gasoline a

• year. We at' the Department

of Transportation have placed top priority on

* encouraging greater nationwide participation in carpooling. Our theme: "Double Up America — Two Can Ride Cheaper Than One."

The reduction in the use of fuel that a concerted

national carpooling effort could bring about would significantly ease a major inflationary pressure on the economy. Additional goals that carpooling can help achieve are reduction of urban air pollution and an easing of traffic congestion on the streets and highways in and around

^)ur cities.
