Housing, park complex object of annexation

By ANNETTE WHITE Associate Editor

ST. JOHNS— City Commissioners expressed a willingness to annex 153 acres into the city of St. Johns at Monday night's commission meeting if they can agree on zoning.

The property, which was purchased last December by Willard Searles, is located in Bingham Township and known as the former Art Sullivan Farm. It is located north of Walker

Road and east of Scott Road. Included in the Searles plan is

development of 85 R-2, single family units, 15 lots which will be designed for R-2 duplex dwellings, 195 lots for R-l single family units and several acres to be set aside for apartment dwellings and a commercial development. A 7.6 acre park will also be Included.

In presenting the plan to the commission, William Searles, spokesman for the owner, told the commission

that "plans are as far as they can go now without annexation.*

Earlier in the meeting the commission had granted extended time to a request made by the planning commission for additional study before acting on a proposed sub-division ordinance for the city.

C o m m i s s i o n e r s indicated that annexation approval would not be forthcoming prior to enactment of a sub-division ordinance.

Work starts on F-AA pollution equipment

ST. JOHNS—Construction work has begun for a $400,000 water pollution control system at the St. Johns division of Federal-Mogul Corp., John Fox, plant manager, announced Friday.

The anti-pollution equipment Is part of a program announced in October, 1971. The water pollution controls will result in an evaporative recovery system, which will separate and reclaim water and chemicals used in plating processes at the plant.

Scheduled for completion in July, the new system will not only prevent discharge of pollutants but will also conserve water and chemicals by recycling them.

Fox said approximately $400,000 would be spent on the program in 1972, bringing the company's expenditures for the year to about $1 million for the various projects atthe St. Johns installation.

Funds allocated for other major

rearrangement, $150,000 for new manufacturing equipment and the balance for machine safety controls and other programs. Fox also expressed optimism at this time based on the St. Johns sales figures for the year's first quarter."

"Sales for our present product lines at the plant are ahead of last year, and the total dollar figure is comparable to 1971 despite concentration of product lines,* he said. Sales volume for the plant was approximately $17 million in 1971.

"We moved bearing production out of the St. Johns plant to achieve a more competitive position on a long-term basis, both on bearings and the products that are made here." Fox said. "Increasing competition, particularly from lower wage rate areas, made the move necessary."

Fox pointed out that the sustained growth areas for St. Johns products

projects include $300,000 for plant-™., in the past 15 years have-^been in

Farms need shower to make up lost time

ST, JOHNS—A spring shower is what Clinton County farmers need if they are to make up for lost time due to unseasonably cold weather.

"A good warm rain," says county agricultural extension director Earl Haas, "will help the land dry out better than just the sun alone." Work is more than three weeks behind last year and two weeks later than normal.

Haas stated there are no reports of anyone plowing the 241,000 crop

land acres In Clikton, but that If the weather breaks farmers could be on the land this week on lighter soil. "Quite a few years we've been on the ground In March," he recalled.

What the late spring will do to crops depends largely on weather during the nextfewweeks. "It's important to get sugar beets planted early," Haas explained. In recentyears, there have been approximately 1,000 acres of beets harvested.

Another small grain usually planted by now is oats, amounting to 10,000 acres in Clinton County. Haas says that In the average year, the yield

•- of oats drops a bushel per acre for each day after April 5 that they are planted. Also, many farmers seed alfalfa early in the year so they can get a hay crop later in the season.

Generally Haas believes the winter wheat crop looks good along with barley which were both seeded last fall. Although it was dry in the northern part of the county last summer,

bushings and washers, which are still manufactured here. "These products have accounted for about 80 per cent of our business over the last five to eight years," he said. "New products have been introduced and that other new product possibilities are under continuing assessment by Federal-Mogul management."

The company has operated the St. Johns plant since 1947 when it began operations with 34 employees and 25,000 square feet of space. There are p r e s e n t l y more than 500 employees and a series of additions has brought the plant size to 240,000 square feet.

"Federal-Mogul has a substantial investment in this community, not only in terms of dollars but also In human relationships developed over the years," Fox said. "St. Johns has provided a good environment for the company and the company, in turn, has made a solid contribution to the

The park will be used, however, for the 1972 celebration which will give the groups several months tofind new facilities.

Zoning a d m i n i s t r a t o r Randy Humphrey sought the advice of the commission following complaints from local residents on a collapsed building on the corner of HIgham and Oakland Streets. Humphrey informed the commission that the city has received several t e l ephone calls recently on the condition of the building which is owned by R. J. McKenzie. Paul Maples, city attorney, was directed to inform the owner by letter that within a 60-day period the building should be removed and the land properly filled.

Johns Jaycee Auxiliary to use a mobile unit public address system to advertise its annual flea market sale on May 6.

Prices declining here, market managers say

By LEE PETERS News Special Writer

ST. JOHNS-If you think your weekly paycheck's being eaten up at the supermarket, Clinton area grocers have good news.

Food prices in the county are decreasing with the biggest drop at the meat counter. The thrifty shopper can buy many cuts of meat at a savings of at least 10 cents per pound.

Although no across-the board price freezes have been announced, store owners and managers report theyare holding the line. They attribute the declining retails to pressure from consumers, who in turn influence the government.

One national supermarket chain that isn't going to freeze prices is Kroger, which has a St. Johns store, "It wouldn't be to the advantage of the consumer to put onafreeze with retail prices falling right now," reported company spokesman, David Coleman in Grand Rapids,

"Now that the record high cost paid for beef carcasses in February have begun to decline," he continued, "our prices are falling, too. As this decline continues we are looking for a continued drop in beef retail prices,"

At Kroger, beef and port retails have been lowered from 10 to 20 cents a pound, according to Coleman. And in addition, features have dropped as evidenced by roundsteakforsaleat 99? this week compared to February's price of $1.08.

Another area store where meat prices have come down is Mahar's in Pompeii. Owner Gordon Mahar

confirmed that consumer costs at his market on beef and pork are at a new low with beef roasts 10 cents less a pound. Bacon retails are definitely falling, he added.

Mahar's, which is serviced by Bay City Milling, has.adopted a whole new pricing system on groceries, "Wholesale costs to us aren't any lower," Mahar announced, "but we are still passing savings on to the customer, especially in competitive items such as shortening and potatoes.

Food prices are coming down terrifically, is what St. Johns A & P manager, Jim Willette had to say. "We are running a lot of specials this week below last year's prices," he told the Clinton County News. One example is pork loins.

Most meat prices depend on the market which is continually fluctuating, Informed Willette. Another item which Is constantly changing Is eggs, despite the fact that dairy prices are pretty steady as a rule.

A & P isn't going to put a freeze on prices, Willette spoke out. He believes this is what the customer continued on page 3 A

wants as business is up and in good shape.

There are no price freezes at another St. Johns supermarket, Andy's IGA. Ed McDowell of the grocery department said prices dropping, along with meat, are coffee, flour, milk and miracle whip. Two per cent milk has decreased from 98"? to 93? while whole milk now sells for 97? compared to 99?. Flour was formerly tagged $2.05 but can now be bought for $1.99 and coffee is 10? less.

"We are trying to hold the line,* McDowell insisted, "and in many instances we are going below competition.

An independent grocer in Clinton County is Kenneth Reed at Reed's . Thriftway in DeWitt* He admitted there's been a very small change in food prices, but that cheese is going up slightly. "We're not raising our prices,* Reed said, "and the national line of foods we carry is holding very steady."

Earl Frechen at Frechen's in Fowler reports grocery prices have not declined. "Because of our lower overhead," he explained, "our prices are always cheaper." He said smoked meats have come down and according to his supplier, fresh meats will be -dropping, too.

Nineteen price cuts with most of the major changes in beef have been made at Maron's IGA, Ovid. The average retail for beef roast* stated meat cutter Tom Ferens, has dropped about 10? a pound with pork starting to come down.

Ferens believes the market has been flooded audit's reachedasatura-tion point with the law of supply and demand. People were much more selective when higher prices were in effect and the customer wouldn't buy . the "higher priced cuts, he concluded.

only where the manufacturer is running a special.

Business is picking up at Eberhard's Thrif-T-Mart at 15487 N. East St., DeWitt Twp., after a slow period which hit Lansing area supermarkets In late March.

Charles Bozzo , manager, stated, "we're not increasing prices unless we're ordered to do so and then our hands are tied. Meat prices are bound to come down with pressure from both the consumer and government."

Staples are continually fluctuating, he explained. One week a can of peas might be 15? and then it could go down to 13?, but within the law we have a right to come back to the first price. Eberhard's is a Michigan chain headquartered in Grand Rapids.

Townsend's Shop-Rite, 3490 N, East St., DeWitt !Twp., is one of eight stores individually owned and operated in the Lansing area. Arthur Fitzgerald, company coordinator, said there are no grocery price changes this week and that they are holding the line.

"Meat prices change from day to day," he advised, "and as long as the market stays down we will maintain our prices which are competitive with the market." Most meat prices were lowered this week at Townsends with chuck roast down 10? a pound. Fitzgerald added that although some, cheese costs had increased da i ry ' prices remain stable.

Independent grocer Ben Beck at Beck's Farm Market north of St. Johns says he has no grocery price decreases but that beef and pork costs to the consumer are coming down. Pork loins, he mentioned, are way down. Despite the effort of Beck's to hold the line on prices, Beck feels the major food chains will force a drop on the retail level.

Gene Schoendorf at Gene's IGA in Elsie said that disregarding sale items, he thinks his meat and produce prices are still cheaper than any other in the county,

"What we feature," concluded Schoendorf, "are eve rday low prices."

Late filers get break

Tax deadline Monday ST. JOHNS—Indigestion, a few more

grey hairs and a lot of lost sleep. That might describe those area

taxpayers who haven't yet filled out their. federal and state income tax forms for 1971—but the deadline has been pushed back 48 hours this year.. The new deadline is April 17 so late filers can use the weekend to finish their forms.

The Internal Revenue Service announced Tuesday that its Lansing office will be open Saturday morning and Monday evening to provide last minute service.

Thonas A. Cardoza, district director, said the IRS office at 315 W. Allegan St., Lansing, will be open Saturday from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. and Monday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Regular office hours are from 8 a.m, until 4 p.m., Gardoza said.

Telephone lines will remain open during the extended Saturday and Monday evening hours of service, he added* The IRS phone number In Lansing is 489-3717 or 489-3718.

He noted that taxpayers visiting the IRS office are requested to bringwith them the tax forms package they received through the mail. However, forms will also be available at the office, he said.

Mel Warren, manager of the H&R Block tax preparation service in St, Johns, commented that most taxpayers

received a total of three additional days to complete their returns tills year. Plus the two-daydeadllne extension, Leap Year has added an extra day for late filers.

Warren said that no matter when the filing deadline falls, "discretion must be used In choosing the method of mailing your return to the IRS, in order to meet the timely filing requirements.

"Normally, the postmark on the envelope is deemed to be the delivery date if posted at a U.S. Post Office. However, if the postmark is from a private postage meter, the return must be received by the IRS on the same day It would have been received if it had been posted at a U.S, Post Office."

Warren added that if there is any delay in delivery, the taxpayer must prove that he mailed the return on time and explain the cause for the delay.

"Simply dropping your return in the corner mailbox at 11:59 p.m. on April 17 is hot enough, because chances are it will bear an April 18 postmark, unless deposited at a mainU.S. Post Office," Warren said, "Also, the envelope must be properiynddressed and have the proper amount of postage, IRS may charge a five per cent per month penalty on the balance due on returns that are not filed on time."

WATERTOWN TOWNSHIP-A rise in the 1972-73 operating budget for Capital City Airport will push expenditures above the $500,000-mark, according to Robert Mooney, Capital Region Airport Authority treasurer.

The Authority, meeting in regular session Thursday morning, set the new budget at $526,300, a five per cent increase from last year's $475,000,

Authority members indicated the increase was mainly due to a five per cent jump in wages for employees and funding of a new position. Included in the new budget was money allotted for a third authority automobile, an issue that was questioned by several members.

The group decided on a study of the necessity of the vehicle to be conducted by Russell Brown, air-

• port general manager who will issue ' a recommendation,

A RISE IN landing fees, along with a hike in overnight parking rates of aircraft, was also discussed.

The rate increase from 16 cents per-thousand pounds to 18 cents per-thousand pounds of aircraft weight was inaugurated by Brown.

Brown also proposed a rate increase for hangared aircraft from $4.50 to $5.50 per square foot.

The recommendations were given preliminary approval by the authority.

An exact date for the rate increase was not set, but is expected to go into effect approximately July 1, 1972, pending the notification of airr port clientele.

Authority members debated a proposed plan to design a workable financial formula. This formula would serve the authority in the future to project necessary budget fluctuations for coming years.

Plans for the proposed resurfacing of the 5,000 and 6,500-foot runways was brought up by committeeman Samuel Obrecht. The cost of such a program has been turned in by the engineers and will approximate $1,721,000, reported Brown. However, if it is not done, he continued, the runways will have to be closed down completely by next year.

The resurfacing is a necessity due to three previous expansion programs that have left dips in the runway making landings and take-offs hazardous, Brown explained. The authority also hopes to install a blast pad at the end of the runway to prevent erosion of the soil also creating a hazard to pilots.

The cost of the project will be shared by both the state and federal government. Only twenty-five per cent of the cost will fall on Ingham County,

Airport security was discussed at the meeting in response to a series of guidelines sent to the authority be the Federal Aviation

Administration. "The letter was vague and con

tained many generalities," said Brown, "we will know more about it When the representative from the F.A.A. consults us. He is expected to do so in the near future," he said.

The guidelines are in accord with the federal Air Security Act.

The authority also went on record Thursday opposing House Bill 6024. This bill would exempt those people who live within the Lansing city limits but do not live In Ingham County from paying taxes which are slated for Capital City Airport,

Further plans were made to designate May 20, 1972 as Airport Day. The authority has secured a D.C. 9 from North Central Airlines to provide courtesy rides. The tentative cost per person will be $6. United Airlines will also have a 737 available for display, Brown said.

by a special property tax of $12.50 per lot per year to pay for the street lights. . The DeWitt TownshipSewerProject

was also discussed at this' meeting. Construction will begin on Phase Two of the sewer project as soon as weather permits.

Phase One was comple ted in September 1971, with the majority of the affected areas being hooked into the system.

There will be a bond sale in approximately six weeks to raise the $2,030,000 needed for the Improvements, There will be a $1,200 hookup fee and a $9,50 charge per month for use of the sewer.

The bond sale was approved by the Municipal Finance Commission.

Also at the meeting, itwas revealed . that DeWitt township will be getting an unmarked police car soon. Bids

will be submitted by area dealerships at the next meeting, when a decision will be made.

The present 1971 police car is in need of too many costly repairs to make it feasible to continue its use.

The Fire Department is looking into the purchase, of an additional pump-truck. The new truck is needed to reduce property loss in the township.

There is presently $34,600 in the fire truck fund. Although the bids will be taken within the next two months, the actual purchase may not be, made for two years.

The last order of business was the proposal to study a storm drain and water-shed project. The project would cost an estimated $656,000 and would cover areas being flooded as a result ofthe present drainage system.

Interest spurred by Mrs. Annette White's Clinton County News article about the Woodhaven project of the tri-county mental health board and Mrs, White's concern for Woodhaven's need for help from the surround

With slides showing life at Woodhaven and stories about the 12 resident members, Mrs. Jones was able to show the advantages of the home system over the institution.

Changing

furniture St. Johns

Meetings

When you need a change in furniture, but find yourself somewhat limited in the household budget department have you considered investigating the supply of unfinished pieces? It takes a little more imagination and certainly takes afair amount of time and energy, but design possibilities are there.

Besides, such an alternative can provide higher quality furnishings than afinish-ed piece at the same price.

Furniture, both finished and unfinished, comes in a variety of prices and qualities. The 'wood and the construction affect the price.

In s e l e c t i n g unfinished furniture, keep In mind that both hard and soft woods are used. Softwoods, such as clear or knotty pine, are least expensive. They can be dented and scratched easily. Painted, they are less vulnerable to hard use and they can present striking accent to other furniture.

With good care, they'll last too.

The hardwoods, such as cherry, maple, walnut, etc., cost more and have abeauti--ful grain. These woods are nicer If given a natural rather than a painted finish.

High news

A BY ANN FOX

The St. Johns High School Orchestra, under the direction of William Tennant, received a First Division rating at their district festival held In Alma on Saturday, March 18. The thirty-seven member orchestra received excellent comments from the four judges who heard the group perform. Also, receiving a First Division rating at the State Solo and Ensemble Festival was junior John Eldridge, a violinist from the St, Johns High School Orchestra. These performances show the continual growth of the orchestra program, as the group received a Second Division rating last year.

On March 9, the orchestra was very fortunate to have here as a clinician Dr. Orien Dalley, noted orchestra director associated with the University of Michigan and the National Music Camp at Interlochen. Dr. Dalley worked with the string mem-

bers of the orchestra during the day, with the String Quarter after school and later that evening with the full orchestra. This experience proved to be extremely valuable to the orchestra members and plans are being made to have Dr. Dalley back next year to work with the elementary, junior and senior high school string players again.

Two very fine concerts were presented in February at Michigan State University. On February 8, twenty-eight orchestra students and parents attended a concert presented by the Guarneri String Quartet, which is recognized as being probably the best string quartet in the world. Also, sixty St. Johns people attended a concert by the Chicago Symphony on February 28. Both programs were exceptionally fine and were valuable contributions to the orchestral growth of the students who attended them.

ByTTMYOUNKMAN

OVID-ELSIE-The Marauder baseball team will have a bit of "spring training" this week when they tangle with Durand and St.. Johns in non-conference games, preparing for the 1972 Mid-Michigan B Conference season.

Due to the cold weather, none of the local diamond squads have been able to work outside so most must make use of the first few non-conference games to get into shape.

According to O-E's Coach Jack Nutter, the Marauders must make use of every chance at a workout. He said his team is young and needs the experience. In fact, he has only four seniors on the 18-member squad this season.

"We're a real young team and I can say I'm optimistic about the season," Nutter said. But he hasn't had an opportunity to see his team in game conditions and hasn't set a definite lineup.

He will get that chance this week when he takes on Durand Monday evening and St. Johns Friday. The St. Johns contest will be at

the Redwing field. Nutter, In his t first year

as varsity coach) indicated he has a good stable of pitching talent, most from

- the Junior varsity squad with winning records.

His top pitcher at the moment is Garv Groom, a 6-2, 195 pound junior who is also a standout in football and basketball. Groom, a right hander, was used mainly in relief last season, but could become the team's number one starter this season.

Others on the pitching staff include Pat Terrill, a 6-4, 190-pounder. He is a right handed junior hurler and he posted a 2-1 mark with the JV's last year. Robbin Leslie, a 5-9, 160-pound right handed Junior, had a flawless 4-0 JV record last season, while teammate Rod Love, a sophomore, hurled a 4-1 record. Love is a 5-11, 155-pound right handed pitcher.

The returning seniors on the Marauder squad include Frank Quine, a catcher, Norm Smith, an outfielder, Pete Garcia, an infielder, and Bill Foran, a shortstop.

Although Nutter has not

picked a permanent starting lineup, he did reveal the starters for the *spring training" games this week,

Dan Egbert will start at catcher and Groom should take the initial pitching chores. Russ Shivley will be at first base, Garcia at second base, Tom Kirinovic at third base, Foran at shortstop, Quine will be in left field, Smith in center and Tim Quine will start In right.

Nutter said he would put in a new team after the third or fourth inning to get a look at all of his players.

*We just haven't had enough practice, yet," Nutter said when asked to predict where his team will finish this season. "The non-conference games will be the test." The Marauders will have a 16-ganie schedule before enteringthe state tournaments.

Nutter did say he expects his team to do much better than a .500 season. He added that he felt a .500 season was not respectable for his team and will expect a better performance.

O-E track a year away? Maybe not OVID-ELSIE—A year

away? That might be hard to swallow for some of Ovid-Elsie's track enthusiasts.

They are used to watching a winner. And the Marauders have been rewarding them with excellent seasons and despite some modesty on the part of Coach John Oberlin, the fans will still watch a team in the winners! circle.

"We have lost some key performers," Oberlin said. "We have the experience now but we have lost some depth."

Oberlin indicated that the Marauders should still be able to win this season, "buth the scores maybe somewhat'i'S lower than in previous "" years. O-E has tieen known for its high scoring abilities . in the past.

"We should be pretty tough from the mile run ondown," the coach said. MWe will be weak in the two-mile event and weak in depth in the high jump."

The Marauder hopes were dealt a blow when they lost the services of Randy Loynes, who will miss the season with a leg injury. "With Loynes out, I just don't know about the relays," Oberlin said. Loynes, who would also run the 440-yard event, injured his knee just after basketball season.

Another problem that has plagued the Marauder team is the cold weather. "It is so umpredictable that we will have no advantage this year, even with our all-

1 weather track," Oberlin said. Usually, the Marauders can get a bit ahead

of their opponents by working out earlier on the track, but this season the cold weather has prevented any early workouts.

The Marauders are loaded with senior talent. Gordon Baker will head up the runners in the 220-yard and 100-yard sprints. Last season, he was clocked at 10.5 in the 100-yard dash. "He should be even stronger this year," Oberlin said.

Tim Bouck and John Peters, both seniors, will take on the hurdle events. Bouck has been clocked at 21.0 in the low hurdles and both are around 15.8 to 15.9 in the high hurdTes. Oberlin

.said.Bouck is his best high8

jumper and is a good long jumper.

Jim Lawrence, a sopho-more, will run In the 440

and 220. "He is real tough," Oberlin said. "He has a 52.8 in the quarter-mile and is under 20.4 in the 220."

Taking on the 880 and mile run chores will be Marc Flegel and Rick Gruesbeck, both juniors, and both have been clocked at 2:02.8 in the half-mile event. Dale Miller, a junior, will be running the mile and has had a time of 4:50.'

Other Marauders that should help the team are Kirk Baese, a sophomore and Jim Kelley, a junior, running either the half-mile or mile events.

Glen Bensinger and C h a r l i e Miller, .*, both seniors,! will be/-entered in the pole vault"1 event. Ben-singer can vault 12 feet, good enough for most high school meets, while Miller can go

lin has three strong entries in Rob Nethaway, a sophomore, Charlie Thelen, a junior and Lynn Webster, a junior. Nethaway can toss the weight around 43 feet and both Thelen and Webster have tossed the ball more than 40 feet.

Glen May and Al Cobb, both seniors, are capable of coming through for the Marauders, Oberlin said. May runs the sprints and Cobb is a two-miler.

"We are especially looking forward to the county meet, since all the Clinton County schools participate in it," the coach said. The Marauders have dominated the meet for the past few years, but the other schools have become stronger, he noted. The all-county meet, sponsored by the Clinton County News, will be held May 8 at the Ovid-Elsie track.

Outdoor notes LANSING-The Depart

ment of Natural Resources Is recommending that 15 Michigan streams be given top priority for studies to determine which of these waters—or what parts of them—qualify to gain possible designations under the state's Natural Rivers Program,

They are the first streams to be pinpointed for such studies by the DNR since three pilot rivers were named last summer for testing the Department's classification system, management approaches, and zoning guidelines for the Natural Rivers Program.

Those three test streams, still in the preliminary stage for possible listing under the Program, Include the Two Hearted River in Luce County, the Jordan River in Antrim and Charlevoix counties, and the Thornapple River in Barry, Eaton and Kent counties.

As the next step beyond its pilot phase of work, the DNR is now suggesting that studies be focused on this select listofpriority rivers:

UPPER PENINSULA— Presque Isle, Sturgeon (Baraga and Houghton counties), Fox, Fenceandwhite-fish.

NORTHERN LOWER PENINSULA— Au Sable system, Muskegon, Little Manistee, Black (Cheboygan County), and White.

SOUTHERN LOWER PE

NINSULA— Rogue, Huron, Shiawassee, Kalamazoo and St. Joseph.

The proposed natural rivers study list was drawn up by the DNR from recommendations of its staff and field personnel, outdoor writers and outside groups interested in river preservation.

Michigan's Natural Resources Commission, at its April 13-14 meeting in Lansing, will be asked to give the DNR the go-ahead to conduct investigations of the 15 targeted streams.

Next week's action on such a study list of rivers was pledged last month by the Commission when it announced that it is pushing for a more comprehensive effort of river planning to develop the best, over-all use system for Michigan streams.

This broad planning effort is part of a 9-point program which the Commission adopted last month to backstop new river-use rules which it approved for problem stretches of the Au Sable, Manistee, Pine and Pere Marquette rivers.

Those streams to be approved by the Commission next week for DNR studies will be carefully critiqued to see whether they are unique. Wilderness streams, or country-scenic river areas, under the Natural Rivers Program, could be included.

The DeWlttSchoolDistrict recently held an All-School Science Fair on March 23,

The fair was open to all DeWltt Students with three divisions; elementary division (1-5), junior division (6-8), and senior division (9 -12), To enter, students were required to pay an entrance fee (25?, 50?, and 75? respectively). • ,

The 'entrants were permitted to obtain advice from others but could nothaveany help in the preparation of their exhibits, A written report was required to accompany the exhibit.

There was a total of 89 entrees including six In the elementary division, 70 in the junior division and 13 in the senior division with a total of 36 first, second and third place ribbons awarded,

Kerry Nichols won first grand prize in the elementary division ($5), Kim Wine-land, second grand prize ($3) and Bob Bosom, third grand

prize. Sherry Lusky was awarded

the first grand prize in the junior division ($25), with B r u c e Ferguson winning second grand prize ($10)and Debbie Nachezel, third grand price ($5). Beth Wlllard and Ed Kluge were awardedfirst place ribbons.

Those receiving second place-ribbons included Bijyaji, Graham, Kim "Butler, Betty.i Thwaits, Lydia Ling, Karen Howland, Cindy Blizzard, Kim Barrett, Mark Wilson, Robin Hobbs and Cathy Mueller. Third place ribbons were awarded to Mark Scharr, Dawn Prowdley, Ginger Mull, Beth Luce, Fonda Waller, Bill Spindler, Rod Wilson, Alan Russell, Keith Henke, John Hennigan and Keela Yount.

In the senior division, Rick Moody won first grand prize ($10), Diane Toleson, second grand prize ($5) and Carol Hayner, third grand prize.

Congratulations to All!

The DNR's in-depth evaluations of these target streams will be carried out in close liaison with local units of government and concerned citizens. As a matter of fact, DNR officials point out that they expect to give early consideration for studies to those rivers where "significant, local governmental support is

evidenced," The preparation of pre

liminary plans for each study stream will be keyed to generating local support and involving local interests through public meetings, local committees and supporting resolutions of local governmental units, the DNR added.

DNR plans call for conducting studies on several streams at the same time.

In setting up studies for the 15 top-priority rivers, the DNR will draw direction from spadework already made on the three pilot streams mentioned earlier.

DNR officials explain that "many other rivers" will be singled out for future Natural Rivers studies. They also note that it may be advisable to place some of those additional streams on the first priority list before investigations are completed on that initial roster of rivers.

Main goal of the Natural Rivers Program is to preserve, protect and enhance s p e c i a l l y d e s i g n a t e d streams in their natural, free-flowing state under high water quality standards.

Battle for

AAAAB trophy OVID—ELSIE—There's a

battle brewing over the Mid-Michigan B Conference all-sports trophy this season and it won't be decided until the last event in the spring sports schedule is completed.

If Ovid-Elsie can make a good showing in both track and baseball, then the Marauders will repeat as all-sports - champions. O-E

-Hopped'their MMB dpponents t. 'with 57 points, followed -by Bullock Creek with 52. 'ni'

Currently, St. Louis is leading the league with 34 points. They haye won three titles this year in golf, cross-country and basketball.

Ovid-Elsie follows with 32 points with titles in football and wrestling and a fou r th in b a s k e t b a l l . Chesaning also has 32 points even though the Indians have not won a championship this year. They have placed second in three sports for their 32 points.

WITH MICHIGAN'S early steelhead season in full swing and smelt-dipping action soon to break loose, the Department of Natural Resources popular fishing information line is now offering more regularly updated tape reports than it did during the past winter.

Unfortunately, however, the system's 1971 schedule of live fishing reports will be sharply curtailed this season due to the lack of funds to adequately staff the service line, which answered more than 39,000 calls from anglers last year.

Consequently, the title "hot line" has been dropped from this service outlet, nerve-centered at the DNR's Fisheries Division Office in Lansing.

As the next best thing to live reports, fishing information fed Into that office from DNR field men is being regularly recorded on tapes to give anglers the latest possible leads on action.

The DNR's fishing information line continues to carry the call numbers of 373-0908. By dialing those numbers under Area Code 517, fishermen can tune themselves into taped reports any day of the week, 24 hours around the clock.

As in the pasy, collect calls cannot be accepted through this angler service outlet.

There's still time

by Lee Peters News Special Writer

ST. JOHNS—Sap's running again at dozens of "sugar bushes" in Clinton County.

At the David Yallup farm, the maple syrup season started April 3 and was in Ml swing last week. There are some 1,000 buckets hung in three woods, four miles south of St. Johns on Taft Road.

"Our operation is about medium size," explained Yallup, an employee of the St. Johns Post Office, He took over the operation as a hobby three years ago from his father, Lawrence. The elder Yallup is still on the job bringing more than 50 years experience with him.

Making maple syrup is no 8-hour a day job when the sap is running heavy. Many'sthe time the crew outatYallup's lias worked all night in the sap house keeping ahead of the accumulating sap.

Freezing nights and thawing daytimes are a rule of thumb for the start of maple sap flow. It's got to be up to 40 degrees, before it runs good, Yallup pointed out. If It's cloudy and windy it doesn't seem to run as good as if the sun shines.

Yallup taps both hard and soft maples. Depending on the size of the tree, anywhere from one to four buckets are hung. Holes are drilled by a bit at the end of a long flexible shaft which is powered by a gasoline engine ana" mounted on a back pack.

After the trees are tapped and the run is on, sap is gathered in al50-gallontank drawn by a tractor, A hose line from the wagon is used to empty sap into s e v e r a l

receiving tanks at the sap house with a 1000-gallon capacity.

When there's a hot wood fire going underneath the evaporator pans, the sap is allowed to descend by gravity into the first of a series of sectional pans.

Moisture boils out of the sap rapidly and as its density increases, the syrup is automatically siphoned from one pan to another until it is ready for finishing. The final "boiling down" is accomplished over an even hotter "' syrup's

temperature is carefully watched with a thermometer. When the syrup reaches the right temperature itispour-ed off, filtered and put into containers.

This year's sap is running about two per cent sugar, according to Yallup. It takes on the average 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup.

Although the season started late, Yallup estimates he will have made about 400 gallons of maple syrup by the end of production.

r ™& wsBKBKmSSSm^ .tJt Tapping of the maples is the

first order of business at the Yallup sugar bush. Here, David Yallup checks the flow of sap.

Russell Morrison keeps a careful watch over the boiling sap at the evaporator.

Misusing a right Parents in the Dewitt School District have had several

weeks to view the growing controversy surrounding the high school principal, Donald Mueller, and his conduct in running the high school.

Mrs, Bette Kristin, as head of a group called Citizens of Truth in DeWitt Schools, leveled charges against Mueller during a Board of EducationmeetingMarch28,and asked for his immediate suspension

Mrs, Kristin then gave a copy of her six-page statement •to board members and to the press for further study and action.

Tuesday night, the Board of Education met in a closed-door executive session to discuss the allegations against Mueller and indicated that while there maybe some truth to the content, the allegations concerned administrative matters. They indicated they did not approve of Mueller's statements and asked him to take a more conservative approach.

However, board members have indicated there was no need for a public hearing and there was nothing in the "charge's" that would require a suspension or dismissal of the principal.

After viewing the statement issued by Mrs. Kristin, we feel that the board made aproper decision. We cannot debate whether or not the statements were true, since there was no real documentation of the allegations, most of the material gathered by hear-say methods from 12 to 24 months ago.

We cannot condone the necessity for a public hearing or a "circus-like" attitude that prevailed during the March 28 meeting. Many things were said during that discussion that could be damaging, if unfounded or left unproven, to a school administrator's career.

There is a special need in our systems of government to allow for such a public meeting to show officials public sentiment on pertain issues. It is a valid form of protest, also, that many citizen groups are developing to show orderly disagreement with established policy or official conduct.

But where there is a means of protest, there is the chance of abusing that right through illegitimate means. Mrs, Kristin's group may have had a valid argument to present

,to their officials and it was their right ta,pregenj: J&gm. M The group stirred up the controversy by '-telephoning' a !Lansing,radio station and writing the' local1 newspapers''^ try to get a large crowd to show up at the board meeting. Part of the group's press statement also called for local citizens to bring any complaints to the group to add to the "charges,"

We noted that at no time would the group reveal what the charges were or where they gathered the damaging remarks„ The Clinton County News policy was to delete that part of her statement. However, the radio station aired a tape with that part left in the statement, which only helped to fan the flames.

From the appearance, we felt the group abused its right of orderly protest by turning the meeting into a witch-hunt type inquisition.

If citizen groups keep crying wolf on every matter that disturbs them without following proper procedures, then there may come a time when an issue will demand public attention--and it will be lost in the maze of protest meetings.

Revenue sharing plan WASHINGTON, D.C.-The

House Ways and Means Committee has tentatively approved a revenue sharing plan turning over $5.3 billion a year in Federal revenues to state and local governments. The proposed five-year plan is retroactive to last Jan. 1.

Roughly $1.8 billion would go to the states unrestricted; the remaining $3.5 billion would go to local governmental units with certain restrictions on its use.

L o c a l expenditures of Federal funds would be limited to maintenance a n d operating expenditures for public safety, public t ransportation and environmental protection. Capital expenditures would be limited to sewage collection and treatment, refuse disposal and public transportation. (State governments would be no control over the l o c a l monies.)

T o ensure a continued, local revenue-raising effort, the legislation would require local governments to spend as much in the restricted areas of Federal funding as it did on the average in the previous two years.

The $1.8 billion to the states would be distributed according to the revenue-raising efforts of the states, with incentives for increasing their revenue-raising efforts.

The measure contains a provision allowing the states to turn over the administrative responsibilities for collecting state individual income taxes to the Federal Government if they so decide.

The Ways and Means Committee is expected to report the bill sometime during the tatter part of April. It must yet gain House approval as well as approval in the Senate Finance Committee and the Senate, but, increasingly, it appears that the Congress is ready to pass a revenue sharing measure this year.

Also last week, the House received President Nixon's message on the aged. Key provisions in the President's program call for a 5 per cent increase in Social Security benefits and establishment for the first time of a floor under the income of older Americans.

The President again proposed that Congress repeal the payment—scheduled to r i se to $5.80 a month—required of Medicate participants and urged Congress to allow tax deductions to encourage independent savings toward retirement'.

At the same time, the President signed legislation appropriating $100 million to provide prepared meals for the elderly, including the deliveryofmeals to Ihose confined td their homes.

On the House Floor, a three-year, $105 million effort to combat Sickle-Cell Anemia was approved. The bill provides for Public Health Service facilities for the testing and treatment of the disease. The Senate last year approved a similar measure and the two bills now go to a House-Senate Conference Committee.'

This week, among other legislation, the House takes up the important Federal Water Pollution Control Act amendments. The legislation, consideration of which was postponed last week, would set as a national goal the p u r i f i c a t i o n of the nation's waterways by 1985.

Missing By TIM YOUNKMAN

The i d e a of-baseball Players going out'on strike has come as quite a shock to manyardentbaseballfans,

( including many staunch supporters of union shops and a person's right to strike.

The first general strike of i ts kind in baseball history points up to a fact of what can happen wtien that right to strike is carelessly exercised.

We have seen serious, strikes in recent years from

^communications workers, teamsters, auto workers and construction workers. They have all taken their toll on the nation's economy—and In some areas, seriously damaged a community's chances of everregalnlngprosperlty.

But this current strike can hurtonly one segment of the parties involved—the fans who pay from three to six dollars to watch 'grown* men knock a white ball around a $100-plus million field. And for this, these men get paid double, triple pr quadruple the salary of an average worker.

These men parade around a diamond shaped field,

"If It Fitz

wearing knickers and funny socks and the best of these can"pull down $200,000 a year, for six months' actual duty.

That these people can go on strike, depriving their spectators the right to see them perform (who are instrumental in a player getting his $200,000 a year), should be beyond the tolerance limit of the ticket buye r s .

We have all heard interviews where a Jonny Bench or Tom Seaver lament the fact that they aren't allowed to pursue their profession because the club owners won't give in. All of a sudden, the club owners are to blame for the strike, instigated by the players ' association.

Some have claimed that they only work at this job for a few years, so it follows thpy should h a v e a $2,000 a month pension after a few years in the big leagues.

They don't tell you that most players have positions and futures all lined up, just waiting for the day they hang

their spikes up.Mostofthei have received their future* (whether -in purchasing, chain of restaurants, bar's] bowling alleys or sportin/ goods stores) through front office and PR deparj ments of the baseball clubl

Some of the better playei] will spend most of their live coaching and managinl teams in the big leagues an] in the minors.

While the $2,000 a montl baseball pensioner fritter! away the remaining years oj his life, the guy that usee, to work at Olds'mobile or a pattern shop somewhere for 30 'years has to* shell out another couple of dollars to the ball club to watch a game. That's where the increased fringes will be made up-a t the gate.

It might come as a shod to the ballplayers, who have since deprived everyone of a few hours of enjoyment watching them play baseball, if the fans staged a general strike. Some would say a boycott would kill the game," but it would just hasten the burial of a game that is dying by its own hand."

Please look twice

Editor, Lapeer County Press I f By Jim Fitzgerald

When actor Burt Reynolds appeared nude, a hairy rose pressed between the pages of Cosmopolitan, he turned on Detroit Free P res s fashion writer Marji Kunz to such a glow that she attacked all us other men who keep our pants on,

Detroit area women clamored to buy Burt in the buff because they never get to see sexy men around home. That's what Marji said.

She complained " i t Is nearly impossible to see a man with any real glamor . . . rugged fellows who have that mysterious quality or dash wfiich would make a woman take a second Joofc.-ttsrmnoD ^

I was interested in Marji's^comments because I have always yearned (p be aman who attracted second looksfromiomeone except cab drivers trying to decide whether they' should risk picking me up.

When it comes to women, frankly, I am still working on the first look. I've tried eye patches, canes, and limps ("Just a souvenir from the Battle of the Bulge, my dea r" ) . Once, for a whole week, I even walked backward. The nearest I came to making out was an old lady who asked me where I bought the topcoat that buttoned up the back. t "

Ann Landers advised me to run around with ugly, sloppy men, thus making myself look good by comparison. So I started frequenting the,singles bars with Joe, a real slob. He was 40 pounds overweight, had a terrible skin problem, and wore bib overalls to weddings. Still I never scored, I finally gave up for good when Joe confided that he'd also consulted Ann Landers and he was using me for the same reason

I was using him. * But Marji Kunz gave me renewed hope"

when she wrote: "No man is going to look like the irresistible European every single woman hopes to meet on her summer vacation as long as he's wearing his .high-necked undershirt. Those European, males-and 'men in international societv - have learned the trick of going undershirtless and leaving their shirts unbuttoned in a deep V plunge."

By gosh, the last undershirt I w,ore was olive drab / World War n issue* I was still wearing it in 1955, 10 years after the war, but then I got married and my wife made me take ff ^ff^ife '^va^ worried J'd>e,1n a traffic accident in Canada and-people would see my underwear and think I was a spy. • So, for 17 years I've been undershirtless , in style with international society. And Marji would surely be intrigued by my deep V plunge which is really more of a middle O. I keep the top 3 buttons modestly buttoned, but the next three are prone to pop open at any time. This surely adds a romantic air of mystery. A woman could never be sure when she might catcli a glimpse of my navel. She would just have to keep watchirig, breathlessly.

Except I have always gone operating with my coat on. That was my mistake. What's the sense of wearing no undershirt if no one knows It?

• Thanks, Marji. Off comes the coat, I'll phone Joe now, and invite him to accompany me downtown In search of second glances. I'll bet he wears longjohns.

Onward and Upward!

View from the Senate

By. SEN. WILLIAM S. BALLENGER

While the Michigan Legislature takes a brief Easter recess and there are mighty few of us in the Capitol minding the store, maybe it would be appropriate this week to turn our attention to a few pearls of wisdom tossed our way by Governor Wiilia'm G. MUliken, whoput his finger on a very important point a few days ago in a local radio interview.

The Governor was asked: "Do you think the average

citizen overestimates the power ofgovernmenttomove in certain a reas?"

The Governor replied: " I think clearly the'power

of government tosolveprob-lems is limited, and we must make- it very clear what government CAN d o ' - - - but I think, equally clear, what government is UNABLE to do and not hold out the false promise and the false hope."

The Governor added: ' 'Because it is in holding

out hope where there is no hope to solve a problem by governmental action that we see the building of g r e a t frustrations on the part of many,' many citizens,"

He also brought up another important point when he said:

"I t is Important that when we talk about new programs, we be willing today how much

precisely those new programs • are going to cost and to convey to people that there is no simple and easy and readily available way to solve every problem."

On the other side of the 'coin, people ought td* ask themselves whether they are willing to accept new taxes before they broach an expensive new program to state officials.

People must learn that they can't get something for nothing, even if it is from their state government — because somebody has to pay for every service rendered.

On that score, one new "p rogram" that just went into effect on March 30 and WON'T cost Michigan taxpayers much more, if anything, to administer is a tougher state implied consent statute.

Motorists in Michigan who drink and drive are on notice that this strict new law undoubtedly will result in increased arres ts for those who imbibe and then climb behind the wheel.

The new law-reduces the percentage level of alcohol in the blood at which adriver will be considered drunk.

The new level is ,10 percent compared with *15 per cent under tho bid iaW.

It is estimated that the average 180-pounder would end up with a .10 percent blood-alcohol ratio if he consumes 5-1/2 one-ounce shots of alcohol or bottles of beer in one hour; 7-1/2 drinks in two hours'; 8 drinks in three hours; or 8-1/2 drinks in four hours.

Drunk driving is one of Michigan's biggest problems. It is estimated that drinking was, involved In at least one-half of the state's 1,800 auto fatalities and 100,000 personal i n j u r y accidents last year.

Despite this, high;percent-age of drinkers involved'in accidents, it is estimated that only about 5 percent of

(Michigan's motorists drive ' while drunk.

The Automobile Club of Michigan is urging Michigan's prosecutors,police officers and Judges to use this new, tighter drunk driving law to Increase significantly the number of arrests and c o n v i c t i o n s for drunk driving/

In the past, only about 50 percent of those arrested on the charge were convicted, with 25percent convicted on reduced charges and 20 percent having their cases delayed or postponed unusually long. - ' '

C j C C advisory council -%s '''K^S^ ^ By REV. HUGH BANNINGA

Jesus said, "Love your neighbor as yourself." Here's how you can do It. Read, mark, learn and Inwardly digest the following.

What is the Clinton County Advisory Council? It is people coming together for the purpose of having a voice and a hand in solving various county-wide problems pertaining to the poor.

For example, the following problems of the poor a lways need solving— housing, food, employment, transportation and education.

At the present time the Clinton County Advisory Council is made up of mainly poor people in the county and a few interested business and professional people, what is needed is your Wive interest in help

ing the poor to solve their immediate problems and, hopefully, to help them rise out of the clutches of poverty.

Many people in our government and in our society are totally apathetic to the plight of the poor. They believe poor peoplearepoor because they want to be, or because they are looking-for something for nothing, or because they are just plain lazy. Except for a few cases, they are far from the truth.

The aim of the Clinton County Advisory Council is to get poor people involved In decision making which concerns them. Therefore, we must go beyond giving poor people clothlne. staDle food and furniture. This is nothing more than continued welfare. Of course, we must help people in securing

Equal rights:

what it will

and won't do To the Editor:

Under consideration in the Michigan House of Representatives is House Joint Resolution LLL - a resolution to amend the Constitution! of the United States, which reads as follows:

"Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."

This proposed amendment, which requires ratification by three-fourths of the State Legislatures, has been more than 50 years in coming and Is strongly supported by a great majority of women's organizations around the country. Though I expect the proposal to pass the House with little debate, there is already opposition in the Republican-controlled Senate because of fears that the amendment will disrupt our traditional male-female relationships.

The amendment is not meant to, and will not,-affect the basic societal respect that men have for women and vice versa nor will it nullify all laws distinguishing on the basis of sex. What it will do is to require that the law treat m en and women equally which can be accomplished either by extending the law which applies only to one sex to the other sex, or by rendering a law unconstitutional as denying equality of rights to one sex.

The proposed amendment will be the only Article to the Constitution which does not take effectuntil two years after ratification. This delay will allow the courts to Interpret the amendment as to the intent of the Congress. That intent was not to impose the legislative will in an attempt to disrupt our basic structure of individual relationship.

It was to recognize the fact that men and women, undierfVth.£ law, demand equal Justice and that discrimination of any kind has no place in our democratic system If we are to progress as a society.

Efforts by some to inject partisan-lined arguments against the proposal are untimely and out of order. This vital amendment is the foundation of future equality for women. It is my hope that Michigan will be amongthe first of the states to ratify.

They've heard

the words

"INVITE ST. JOHNS SUNDAY" This coming Sunday is "invite St. Johns

Sunday" at the First Baptist Church of St Johns, located at 512 S. Whittemore (US-27). This is the third week of their great Bible School contest with the theme, March to Bible School in April.

The Church has sent out letters to the mayor and other city officials inviting them to help celebrate this great day.

The 60 voice Women's Choir from the Grand Rapids Baptist College will be singing in the Bible School hour as well as the morning Church service.' Everyone is invited to attend the Bible School which starts at 9:45 a.m. and the Church service at 10:55 a.m.

Dear Editor, As a student of St. Johns

High School I would like to comment on all the controversy on our productions. I feel that the plays are not vulgar and the language is not all that bad.

The students of St. Johns High School have all heard the words "hell" and "damn". It seems tomethat if they are old enough and stable enough to be In high school they are able to understand that they have a choice in sayingthesewords.

They don't have to say "hell" and "damn" just to be in a production. There are quite a few roles that do not use this language at all, therefore, If the students have the idea that in order to be in a production they have to swear it is an idea with no basis.

I Just transferred this year from a school in northern Michigan. The school had no plays put on during the school year except the senior class play. This play was always slap stick comedy. I am not saying that slap stick comedy is bad, I am saying that it took little or no thought for the choice onthejudgespart, Mr. Koger and the other people who chose our musical did a lot of thinking before they came to the conclusion that the production was to be "Wildcat".

"Before choosing ''Wildcat" they sat down and went over the play very carefully and I tam sure that if they Would have thought for one minute that the dialogue would have been against the students moral codes or values they would not have even considered the play.

Many parents are against their children using or even being exposed to the words "hell" and "damn". I would like to ask howmanyparents have never used the words in front of their children?

I am sure the number would not amount to much.

I could go on but the things I have to say have all been ,said in previous letters.

I would like to add though that I am happy that this issue came up because with all the publicity "Wildcat" and "Brick and the Rose" has been receiving, it just might wake up some apathetic parents that Just didn't give a darn before.

Suzl Fennels

Clean language Dear Editor:

Some of the letters appearing in the paper recently have given me the opportunity to voice a gripe, especially on the school play.

One mentioned the attendance at plays, except thean-'nual musical, is so poor-few attend -well maybe there is a reason.

I am glad the writer doesn't use the offending words in question. Neither do a lot of other people. Many dislike hearing them used in conversation, or reading them fromtheprintedpageof books or papers. They sound vulgar and uncouth and 'never in good taste, or ever necessary'. Nomatterwhere or when used they are just the opposite of good taste. Mentioned alsd were great plays and play writers of today. Well, excuse me. . . .

Look at the advertising, that alone is nauseating. Yes there is a totally right and a totally wrong side to everything in life. Thanks for the three good letters in the April 5th paper, the words discussed are often used on our Editorial page and I've wanted to write in before now, asking please l e ave them out, they do not add to the beauty of the article, which otherwise would be good reading.

One letter in the State Journal, but from St. Johns, mentions twice, pleasingtwo parents and a pastor^ and

'there should be 'mot^important things to do. Well, kind sir, there are no more important problems or graver situations than raising our children to be clean thinking, also clean in body and spirit, then you will have a respectful adult, the future leaders of our country.

Oh I know many live only for the pleasure of drinking and polluting the air with a foul mouth. We do have all kind of people herel

And a few believe In, 'Letting the words of our mouths

• and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable to Him.'

Mrs. Martha B. Miller Fowler

clarification Dear Editor:

In reference to the situation which has been developing in the drama department at St. Johns High School as well as indeed most other high schools, it is apparent there is a need for some clarification from the parents Involved in this particular case.

First of all, some would "mislead" you to believe that this situation does not merit the attention it has been getting as it only involves several "Iooselytermed" slang expressions. For the benefit of those who have never attended any of the productions, let me say that our Lord's name has been spoken In vain more than a few times 'in these plays.

Is this no longer considered "profane" either? We feel there is more at stake here than folks would have you believe. My husband has •been a statepolicemanfor 15 years which might explain one sound reason why we have come to recognize the importance of maintaining a moral concept in the home. To do this effectively, the support of the schools in this direction Is also needed.

It is incredible that we now must find ourselvespleadlng for such support.

We have all listened apathetically to those who are bent on destroying our nation, proclaim that we must be realistic in our film and stage productions for to do otherwise would not be honest. Thus they have succeeded in swamping us with their hard core pornography, in the name of education and

realism, which has definitely had a damaging effect on the morals and minds of our young people. Strange we should be hearing the same type of rationalization echoing from our high schools.

Are we to assume that perhaps ultimately, some of our coming attractions will Include x-rated productions? Let's not deceive ourselves into thinking it couldn't happen here.

To bring our focus into line, we wish to make it clear that it has never been our intent to destroy the drama department, create animosity, nor alienate anyone at any time. We asked onlythat the school uphold standards of decency and respectability. We recognize the many talents portrayed by the drama students as well as we recognize the skill and ability to produce displayed by our drama coach and others involved.

We do not, however, believe the young people involved are really old enough to realize the long-range significanceof this situation, and perhaps some of the faculty involved may not have pondered this aspect either.

It is for this reason we urge all concerned parents and citizens to attendameet-Ing with the school board to be held at the St. Johns High School at7p.m. on Wednesday, April 12, for the purpose of discussing how we might curb this dilemma before It becomes firmly established.

Respectfully, Mrs. Darrell H. Pope 507 W. Park St. St. Johns

Elsie MRS. NEVA KEYS

Pll. 8G2-4301 •

The last of the Elsie area golfers who have made annual junkets to the South during February and March are back home anxiously awaiting the opening of nearby golf courses.

One of the largest groups Included an Elsie area contingent of 30 golfers to Gulf Hills Dude Ranch and Country Club at Ocean Springs, Mississippi in March.

Smaller groups went to Myrtle Beach, S.-C. o&ithe^ Atlantic coast at earlier dates. Those who chose the Golf-near-the-Gulf holiday have been making this pilgrimage the past eight years. Bernard Conklln and Sidney J, Keys had perfect attendance while Herb Betts of Ithaca missed but one season.

Ed Pfau of Lansing, former EHS band director served as chairman for the four-day tournament. Winner of club tournament 'trophies were John McLoughlin of Ithaca and Ed Pfau with second place going to Joe Bar-tek and Durward Conklln.

In the individual "BestBall Tournament" in the first flight, John McLoughlin again received first • while Leo King of St. Louis and A, C. Linman of St. Johns, tied for second place.

In( the second flight, Orville Slllman of St. Johns took first while Bernard Conklln, Kelley Carter and Ed Pfau placed second.

In the women's league, Mrs. Judy Hoshleld of Elsie and Mrs. Helen Kohler of Lansing won trophies for first and 2nd places in that division.

The trophies and prizes were made possible through the courtesy of Adrian and Mary Cook, owners of the North Star Country Club (Michigan).

Gulf Hills is located across the bay from Blloxi with a most challenging 18 holes of golf and a thrill to enjoy.

>Q'A,lso,,o,n, the, 1,000 acre yaca-ft ^ tlon tspotwere fishing,^ ten-*, hMnis,£ swimming and horseback*1

- riding. i. . This championship course,

one of the finest on the Gulf Coast, has 6,294 yards of rolling fairways and greens that par out 72 strokes. Between the fairways a model residential development has been laid out with a number o f fine homes completed. Winding Shore Drive, Ridge Road and El Bonita Drive are the main streets through this area.

The local group lived in charming villas surrounding a courtyard and looking out over the waters of Old Fort Bayou. Three ranch-style meals a day, were an adventure in great eating served with old-fashioned service with Creole cooking, French and Italian cuisine and featuring all kinds of seafoods, 'salads, fruits and luscious desserts.

"Rev* the Chef has been responsible for the famous Gulf'Hill Chow for many years and -according to their computer* has added 122,684 inches to the cumulative waist lines of America and the Elsie group surely did its part to increase that number.

Although most of the golfers had heard that Gulf Hills Country Club had been visited by fire instead of Santa Claus on Christmas morning 1971, there were some who were surprised to find the clubhouse, dining rooms, lounge and kitchen burned to the ground with only the tall fireplace chimneys still standing.

While the Elsie folks were there, huge machinery was moved in to complete the leveling in preparation for other rebuilding. Fortunately, the villas and rooms, 18 hole golf course, stables and pool were not involved,

Ike LaRue, owner and Henry Rushln, general manager Immediately proceeded to provide for the guests, building a new dining room, kitchen and lounge while plans for a new administration building are now finished. All services were in full operation a few weeks after the fire.

If there were any inconveniences caused by the disastrous fire, it was more than repaid by the hospitality and thoughtfulness of LaRue and Rushln, "Old Pro* Ben, Potts and Pro Bobby Dunn and their crew who had the

course In great shape with the help of "Ole Sol* and "Mother Nature*.

The weather was perfect every day except one morning so they decided to all make the 90-mile triptoNew Orleans to spend the day. Following Highway 90, they had an opportunity to view the restoration of homes, public

buildings, restaurants, roads and bridges and resort area left by Hurricane Camille when many people were killed, nearly 20,000 homes devastated, 700 businesses destroyed and millions of dollars lost In property damage.

Upon reaching New Orleans, the birthplace of

Jazz and home of the Mardl Gras, most of the Elsie vacationers enjoyed a guided bus tour of the city and the famous Garden District lined with distinguished homes and flower gardens.

A stop-off at the French Quarter below Canal St., (Vieux Carre) where many spent the evening on Bourbon St. and Royal St., enjoyed New Orleans' fabulous array

" of antique shops, art galleries, souvenirs shops,restaurants and French Quarter night life.

Jackson Square, buildings with wrought iron balcony decorated In quaint designs and such old restaurants as

Antolne's, French Market, originally built about 200 years ago, Pontalba Apartments (1850), St. Louis Cathedrals and the above ground burial plots dating back to the latter part of the 1700*s, were among the interesting sights.

T h e r e were other side trips taken by various small groups such as: Clutter Plantation home, a south Tn homestead preserved In iu' original .splendor and charm; the Singing River and Magnolia Blossom, an authentic stern-wheelerj and Beau-voir, last home of Jefferson Davis and Shrine of the Confederacy.

Others were: Keesler Air Force Base, the Training Center for USAFj Shrimp Tour Trajn; Pascagoula and its Ingalls Shipbuilding specializing in production and overhaul of nuclear-powered submarines and the Singing River Hospital, where one of the golfers was taken for emergency treatment; historic Blloxi Lighthouse (1848); and the USS Alabama - at Mobile, Ala.

T h e r e were also other places such as, the 40-acre Edgewater Plaza Shopping City, where the visitors could enhoy watching the beautiful ilowing fountains in the Mall with exotic flowers

and plants, plus comfortable seats for relaxing.

There were two parties for the Elsie group, hosted in the-large villa living room by Dr. E. M. Slagh, Judge McLoughlin, Orville Slllman, Leo King, Ed Pfau, Oscar Ornealas, Don Cook, and Joe Bartek. The first was to get-reacquainted and organize the tournament upon arrival and the final was presentation of trophies and awards and a fun time.

Others from the Elsie area group in addition to the above mentioned people were: Eleanor and LaMott Fields of Laingsburg; Dora Mae Conklln and Eulah Falor of St.

Johns, WelthaBetts of Ithaca; and Jerry Career, Dick and Fern King, Homer Hoshield, Thelma Conklln, Mildred Conklln and Neva Keys, all of Elsie.

General completes expansion

1 Mrs. Archie Moore and Mrs. Ken Richards attended the dinner and reception honoring Mrs. John Williams, Clinton County Assoc. President last Wednesday night at the St. Johns Temple; given by the Radiant Chapter O.E.S.

Callers at the Hoyt Salls-•bury resident lastweekwere Mr. and Mrs. Merton Chapman of Stanton.

NORTON SHORES - General Telephone completed a $39.3 million service improvement and expansion program in 1971 marking substantial progress toward its overall service improvement objectives, according to the company's 1971 annual report released today.

In this letter to share-o w n e r s , Pres. T. A. S a u n d e r s noted several service improvement gains including continued progress toward reducing the number of parties per line in rural

areas, expansion of local calling areas and making more one- and two-party service available in urban areas,

Saunders also noted that a two-year downward trend of earnings was reversed as a result of an order issued by the Michigan Public Service Commission approving rate increases for the company. The MPSC set rates of return on invested capital and equity investment which they said the company needed to secure the

new investor capital required for Its program of expansion and improvement.

However, Saunders said it may be dfficult for the company to actually attain those ratesk of return because of continuing increases in investment and expenses.

Commenting on specific areas of* service improvement and expansion in 1971, S a u n d e r s said: General Telephone's rural customers numbered 94,844 at year end and, of this number, 68,302 were served by

lines on which the service has been upgraded to four parties or less.

"The company Is committed to provide this upgraded service to all rural customers by the end of 1973," he said.

Extended Area Service, or the elimination of long distance charges for calls between neighboring communities, was added in six General Telephone exchanges in 1971. In addition, the "base rate areas" of a 'number of exchanges was expanded,

•Another major service improvement objective Is to make one- or two-party service available to all customers in the urban areas," Saunders said in his letter.

"Considerable progress toward this objective was made in 1971 with 13,081 more customers having one-or two-party service,* the utility president said. The target year for completion of this program is 1976.

The president's report also points out that investment In central office equipment to Improve and expana

•""local service now exceeds, $100 million, more than any other kind of plant Investment.

A part of that Investment Is represented by General Telephone's first electronic automatic central office placed in service Dec. 1, serving the combined exchanges of Fowle r and Pewamo,

"This Is a pilot installation to provide experience for our personnel with this new type of equipment which we anticipate will become the equipment of the future,* Saunders said.

General Telephine plans to , spend approximately $41

million for new construction to continue its service improvement and expansion programs In 1972, according to the report,

"If earnings can be continued at a level which will permit the company to obtain the necessary new Investor capital, we are confident of our ability to continue to improve and expand service to our customers," Saunders said.

Saunders was succeeded as president of General Telephone by J. A. Reitze April 1. Saunders will be chairman of the Board until his retirement Sept. 1,

$**—

A sure sign of spring is a rutty road. But an even, better sign is a road crew patching it up. When St. Johns High School teachers and students returned to school Monday after spring vacation they found the riding much smoother thanks to these filled holes in the roadway.

Jan Geller helps plan walk-a-thon SPRING ARBOR-The long

dream of a new fieldhouse for Spring Arbor College may be just around the corner if St. Johns has anything to say about it.

May 4 JanGeller and other s t u d e n t s have planned a walk-a-thon to help raise the needed funds. Letters have gone out to alumni to sponsor walkers. Students who can't hike may pay someone else to walk for them. Faculty, staff and administrators will be asked to sponsor a student at $1

per mile or more. A tentative fifteen mile

course is planned beginning on M-60 in front of the campus. Miss Geller is on the planning committee.

The idea came about through a rap session in the old gym concerning the need for new facilities. Nate Lake, a Detroit sophomore and first string eager for SAC, proposed the walk and the idea caught on. A petition with approximately 130 student signatures was presented to Nelson Miller, a senior from Cleveland, Ohio, president of the Student Association, Miller. then contacted the SAC Develop

ment Office and received permission to organize a meeting of several leaders in the movement and the ball began to roll. The date was set, letters have been mailed and the student body was informed in chapel and asked to try for hometown sponsors during vacation time.

In the over-all plan the students seem to have the cooperation of at least 200 willing walkers, members of the Ladies Guild will help with refreshments along the route and it is hoped that the college band will be at the ultimate destination (probably the Jackson Mall) to cheer them on to the finish line.

NHAW is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, and serves wholesalers in the heating, air conditioning, sheet metal, ductwork, refrigerants and component parts field. Schafer's local NHAW sponsor for his training was The Behler-Young Company, 342 M a r k e t Avenue, Grand Rapids.

The home study method of training has now been in operation by NHAW for 10 years; and according to its national director, the concept is credited with instructing several thousand men and women who otherwise would have received no quality, supervised training in air conditioning technology and business management.

Industry use of effective home study training is longstanding; and more recently, public educators are evaluating its broader use in regular VS» public education. Nationally, according to government figures, over 7 million A m e r i c a n s are now actively engaged in some form of home study training supplied by both public and private institutions.

For his part in all the furor over food prices that has dominated some newspapers and the airwaves of radio and T.V., some sort of "Oscar* award should be made to George Meany, AFL-CIO president, for his theatrical performance.

"Retail food prices have gone through the roof and are continuing up—eroding the buying power of American families. . .the American people are being gouged at the supermarket and squeezed in the paycheck, "Meany thundered as he stalked off the Pay B,oard.

Meany's apparent strategy is to shout loud enough about food prices to blank out any criticism of union wage settlements which have contributed to spiraling consumer costs.

The simple fact is escalating labor costs have pushed up the U.S. food bill from the farm gate to the consumer's table. To cite two examples, packing and processing plant wages have Increased 44 per cent in the past 10 years; retail food store wages have gone up 58 per cent in the same period.

A report by Hienold Commodities, Inc., that hamburger prices have risen 17 per cent since 1964 while average wages have increased 40 per cent makes charges' by Meany that people are "squeezed in the pay

check* by food prices" erroneous.

The average American family will spend 15.5 per cent of after-tax income for food this year. However, of every dollar spent for food, 62 cents will end up in the pockets of someone after it leaves the farm.

It's time that the American public realize farmers are not causing the foodprice Increases.

Farmers have little control over their prices. This was demonstrated when the farmer price index dropped two per cent during the month ending March 15. The primary contributing factor was reduced livestock prices.

ST. JOHNS-"Clear seeding" of alfalfa offers abright alternative for livestock farmers who have difficulty getting good seedlngs in oats because of lodging or who have little use for oat straw, says M, B. Tesar, Michigan State University crop scientist.

The system, started in the mid-50's, calls for seeding alfalfa alone in April (the earlier the better) and harvesting three to four tons of clean hay in the seeding year, A herbicide replaces the companion crop and gives the necessary weed control.!

The greatest advantage of the back hoe cut, said Barnes is that it affords a cross section view of the soil from ground level to eight feet below grade.

The cuts also permit the sanitarian to study the root systems of existing vegetation in the area, A further advantage is that the cuts permit more effective and speedier site investigation.,

year, Dr. Tesar explains. In Michigan State Univer

sity research, S a r a n a c alfalfa seeded on May 2, 1969, yielded 3 1/3 tons per acre when cut the following July 30 and September 23. In 1971 tests, Saranac seeded on April 10 yielded 4.4 tons in three cuttings - July 9, August 20 and October 27,

Dr. Tesar lists nine guidelines for successful clear seeding of alfalfa:

—Correct the pH by liming to at least 6.8. Soil should be well drained and of good water-holding capacity.

—Seed as early as possible in April on a well-prepared seedbed;

—Control annual weeds with three pounds EPTC (Eptam) acid equivalent per acre sprayed on the seedbed and worked into the soil immediately after application.

Or spray 3/4 pound 2, 4D-B ester when the seedlings have two or three leaves, usually four to five weeks after seeding. If broad-leaved weed problems develop after using EPTC, 2, 4D-B can also be used.

—Inoculate and band seed 8 to 12 pounds per acre of Saranac or other fast-growing, wilt-resistant Flemish alfalfa, Saranac outyielded Vernal by a half ton per acre in 1971 trials. Seed rates of

16 pounds or more per acre give no greater yields. In dry years, 16 to 24 pounds per acre may actually reduce the yield because*of shallow roots.

—Fertilize according to soil test, and band the fertilizer under the seed for a quick start. Four hundred pounds ofO-14-42 will supply the phosphorous and potassium for afour-tonhay crop.

—Use press wheels on the drill or a cultipacker behind the drill to compact the soil around the seed and cover it shallowly for fast emergence.

—Check the alfalfa for leafhoppers in July and August. Spray with an appropriate insecticide if moststems have one or more leaf-hoppers. Insecticide costper acre is about $1.50 for material and $2.00 for application.

—Plan for three cuttings for more hay of better quality. Take the first when the alfalfa is flowering In early to middle July, about three months after seeding. Make the next two cuttings at six-week Intervals - about August 20 and October 10, Three' cuttings in 1971 yielded about 3/4 ton more than two cuttirigs.

—Topdress in the fall or next spring according to soil test.

An ounce of prevention

Dangers of Whiplash injury By: Jose ' J . Llinas, M,D,r~ Director of Community I Mental Health for Clinton/ Eaton and Ingham. ;

i

Forty-three years ago, In1

1928, a bone surgeon In Los Angeles by the, name of Harold E. Crowe coined the medical phrase "whiplash injury", to denote the damage many people suffer to their neck following a rear-end collision.

At that time, very little was known about the real nature of the problem. The injury did not seem very serious, but the patient could continue to have pain in his neck for months on end, sometimes for years.

HOW THE DAMAGE OCCURS

The magazine "Medical World News* reported re -

™ 1

DR. LLINAS

cently on some interesting experiments with monkeys that make the neck damage easier to understand, and, therefore, to treat.

Part of the difficulty has been that usually the person

is not struck, and he figures, since he hasn't bumped his head or neck against anything, he is safe.

When the car \s struck from behind, however, the car-bound individual's head is whipped backwards, and then forward, or even from side to side. The delicate structures of the neck, particularly in women, can suffer a variety of injuries.

"Six months after car crack-ups, three out of four neck-injured women at an RCA facility in Woodbridge, N.J., were still complaining of their Injuries,* the magazine states. "And those with lawsuits pending did not dominate the group."

WHY THE DAMAGE OCCURS

Most people find it hard to believe that what appears to be a relatively minor accident could create so much trouble..

Dr. A, K,Ommaya,abrain surgeon with the National Institute of Neurological Diseases In Washington, explains that the brain stem and neck structures are very vulnerable to injury when the head rotates about.

"Move a beer glass along a counter on a straight line,1' he explains, "and it will r e main level* But joggle the glass, rotate It at an angle, and the beer will spill out,*

With the passenger in the car , the bones of the neck and head are the glass; the brain and spinal cord do not get spilled out, since the internal cavities of the body are not open, but the soft brain and spinal tissues are

pushed first in one direction, then in the opposite one, and they hit the walls which imprison them. That is why the lesions occur.

THE OUNCE OP PREVENTION

Auomobile injuries of the whiplash type*are at least as serious as the brain concussion that occurs when the head hits or strikes another object.

Careful medical treatment and adequate diagnostic tests are needed immediately after the injury, and as the condition develops afterwards.

While treatment consists mostly of immobilization of the neck and res t , competent early care may help p re vent many of the painful complications.

Head restraints and crash absorbing bumpers m a y some day sharply reduce or eliminate this most troublesome injury.
