Heavy Loss

To BuiMingFire shortly before noon today

caused an estimated $35,000damage to the roof and top floor

of the Science building on Hopecollege campus and water seepingdotyn to other floors threatenedto send the damage figure severalthousand dollars higher.The flames were brought under

control about 12:30 but firemenwere on the scene fighting inshifts through thick smoke.The $35,000 figure was given by

Henry Steffens, college treasurer.John F. Zack, Jr., of Muskegon

Heights, a senior who was work-ing in the biology laboratory onthe third floor directly below theplace where the fire started, turn-ed in the first alarm.

Flames broke out of the south-east comer of the top floor andall scenery and props used in theLittle Theater were destroyed.Rafters and- partitions in the east

wing of the top floor were guttedas well as work rooms in that sec-tion.

Firemen had to chop holes inthe roof to get at the source offlames.

Firemen fought the flames fromthe outside atop the big ladderand strung the big two and a half-

irjch hoses through the east stairson the inside of the building.

Costumes and props valued atseveral hundred dollars, weredestroyed.

Faculty members, students andothers rolled up their pants andwaded into the building to evacu-ate Valuable physics lab equip-ment and other items to the westwing.

Several microscopes, valued at$375 each, were slightly damagedby water seeping through beforethey could be taken out.

A valuable display of paintingsfrom the Grand Rapids Art In-stitute was hastily taken out ofthe top floor before they weredamaged. The fire spread smoketo the nearby Little Theatre andlounge.

Dr. Lubbers, president of Hopecollege, said the entire dramaworkshop is virtually wiped outHe highly oomplimented the firedepartment for confining the blazeto one area. There was no damageto the Little Theater which seatsabout 125 persons, to the stage,Green room or art department,aside from possible smoke damage.• "We have long clamored for afine arts building to house thedrama, fine arts and music depart-ments," Dr. Lubbers said. "Thedrama department was establish-ed on the fourth floor of theScience building five years agoafter being shuttled from placeto pkce in various campus build-ings and even in the downtownarea.

‘We knowingly took a risk inputting the drama department onthe fourth floor because of thenature of the materials used such•s costumes, paints and other in-flammable materials. We purpose-ly put the drama department inthe east section. Underneath the•rt department in the west sec-tion are stored chemicals andother explosive materials used inlaboratory work. This departmentk not damaged.”Dr. Lubbers continued: "With

every misfortune there alwayscomes some good. We do not knowwhat the good will be in this case,but we feel that faculty membersof the speech and drama depart-ment and members of Palette and

men accomplished their firefightring with a minimum of trouble andinterruption. The campus was vir-tually deserted for the Christmas

holidays. Police set up blockadesfor traffic.

Among the props in one sootysmoky work room was a dummywhich gave one fireman an awfuljolt, In the weird light of hisflashlight, he first thought it wasa fire victim. The dummy laterwas tossed to the sta’fee area sonobody else would get the sameidea.

club work I would not be nearlyas interested in the dairy cow asI am.”"I joined the 4-H Dairy Club

work with one idea. I was hopingto get all the information I could

in dairy work. I have gotten muchof that information already.

"I have gone on many trips andhave gone to some leadershiptraining camps. Most of all, I havelearned how to tell a good cowfrom a poor one. This, to me, ismore important than anything elseI have learned. ’"Also keeping books and records

helps me to understand the cost offeed in animals, and production."I hope to learn more and more

about the dairy cow and how shefunctions. _ ,

"Some day I hope to have myown business. I also hope to helpother boys and girls as I have beenhelped.

Ito dream of thousandsservicemen and women has cometrue for; Sgt. 1>C Jack Gogolin-he’s home for Christmas.Gogolin sums up his recent nine

months of combat to Korea, whichsaw him earn promotion* fromprivate to sergeant first classwith a brief, '1 was kicky.*

The 23-year-old veteran, whoarrived home last week, recallsOhdltmas of 1951 a little dis-tastefully. You can’t blame him.Last year at this time he wasaboard a troop ship, four days outof Seattle, heading for Japan.That wasn’t anything to be happyabout. And the fact that he wasserving to the ship's galley on thegarbage detail didn’t add to hisYuletide spirit.

The twelve day crossing to Ko-rea wasn’t too good, but thingsgot worse before they turned forthe better. Arriving in Korea, heserved with "Item" company, 32nrInfantry Regiment, 7th Division In

the bloody Triangle Hill area onthe west central front. The quietspoken GI prefers not to talkmuch about his Korean service,considering himself, "prettylucky."

Gogolin recalls one occasionwhen his company was attackedby two companies of Reds onTriangle Hill.

"They would lay down a terri-fic artillery barrage to advanceof thedr assault," he said, "andeven before it lifted would runscreaming through their own fall-

ing shells. A lot of them werekilled by their own shells."Attached to Gogolin’g division

was a company of Ethiopians. Hesaid that when ever the Ethio-pians lost one ot\ their men, theothers would go out and kill threeor four Reds to avenge their fallencountryman.The food .was pretty good he

said, but the one thing men look-ed forward to was getting enoughpoints to be rotated home. Oc-casionally when there was a lulto the fighting some of the menwould get a shotgun and go phea-sant hunting, Gogolin said.Gogolin was one of 3,049 vet-

erans who were returned to thestates aboard a Navy trans-port He said the ship was greet-ed in' Seattle with a gala recep-tion, bands and all the trimmings.Having served 21 months, Gogolinwill report to Fort Custer fordischarge after his 25-day leave.He holds the combat infantry-man's badge, Korean Service rib-bon with Bronze Star and U.N.and Japanese occupation ribbons

Maroons Capture

Sixth Fm in Row

Without Trouble

Holland Christian’i cagen had

little difficulty In taking their sixth

straight victory of the season Fri

day night as they disposed of North

Muskegon, 57-30 at the Armory.

Coach Art Tula used 11 v players

in the contest in an effort to keep

the game from turning into a com-

plete rout Christian raced out in

front 14-2 in the first quarter andwas never threatened.Although the locals ran up

sizeable score, they were not hit-ting too consistently. It was mostlythe rebounding of the Dutch for-ward wall — particularly Earl

ScWpper— which gave Christian anopportunity to run up the count.North Muskegon had height butwasn’t able to cope with the Chris-

tian rebounders.

Once again, the team and indivi-dual defense qf the locals waseffective, permitting die Norsemento connect just seven times fromthe field, six coming in the secondhalf. Coach Bob Morris of theMuskegon club concentrated onstopping the Christian center slot,

but as a consequence the Dutchscored almost at will on pass offsto the comer men. ,

North Muskegon never did geta sustained offense started. Theonly man to do any scoringspeak of was forward Tom Arntzwho scored on high arching shotsfrom outcourt. Dan Olson, the 6’4”Muskegon center, was held to justfive points. He was injured on thefirst play of the game, but return-ed two minutes later and playedthe rest of the contest

Ken Scholten, Christian center,and Schipper were the offensivetroublemakers of the game. Schol-ten has developed an effectivehard-to-guard shot from the foulcircle and has hit consistentlythe last two games. He led allscorers with 15 markers, followedby Schipper with 14 and DaveSchreur with 10.

Christian looked sharp in thefirst period, showing some finepassing and floor play to race* to aKM) lead early in the game. TheMaroons added four points, whileholding the Muskies to just twofoul shots by the end of the quar-tei*«

It was strictly no contest aftertwo minutes of the second quarterwere gone. Holding a 22-2 margin,Tula substituted freely, and the lo-cals forged ahead 30-8 at halftime.North Muskegon played its best

ball in the third quarter, with the

Hollanders only outscorinfe the in-

vaders 10-9. Play was slow withmany jump balls and missedpasses.

Leading 40-17, going into the final

tanza, the Maroons worked them-selves into many shooting oppor-tunities, scoring almost at will•gainst the Muskegon crew. Chris-tian reserves finished the contest.

Christian’s foul shooting droppe<

off considerably, as they hit onlyeven out of 22 tries. Muskegonfared better, hitting 16 out of 23attempts. Following Arntz with 12

markers, Olson collected five forthe losers.

MUSKEGON— After nine monthsof study, a Citizens’ Advisory com-mittee has recommended to theBoard of Education a $7,000,000pay-as-you-go prografn to be sub-mitted to Muskegon city votersfor the improvement of publicschools. The recommendation listsan additional 5-mill tax until the$7,000,000 is raised but not to ex-

ceed a period of 13 years.

In approving the recommenda-tion Tuesday night, the Board ofEducation did not discharge thespecial committee. Dr. Walter B.Steele, president of the board, em-phasized that the board will needthe services of the committee inacquainting the public with the de-

tailed Information on why the im-provement program is necessary.It Is expected the issue will appearon the April ballot.The program is flexible enough

so that If economic conditions ne-cessitate retrenchment, it couldbe suspended at any time. Theprogram calls for converting Cen-tral campus into a senior highschool exclusively; adapting theNelson school so that it couldhouse part of Junior high; building

a new Junior high school east ofGetty to serve that area; building

a new school to replace Marquetteand take care of pupils in thatarea who are now scatteredthrough a number of buildings?new buildings for ancient Bluffton.McLaughlin and Porter schools;additions at Oak View; and im-provements and expansions at Bun-ker. Angell, Froebel and Nims.Before making a recommenda-

tion, the committee consideredmany methods of raising the mon-ey and fianlly decided on the pay-as-you-go plan so that every cent

raised will go into the buildings,rather than into interest.

The Ottawa county Board ofRoad Commissioners at a meet-

ing last Thursday passed a reso-

lution which removes special roadrestrictions on about 40 pieces ofcounty blacktop roads totaling al-most 50 miles. •The move means that it now

will be possible to reach everycommunity and nearly every iso-lated business place in the countyfrom state highways with normalloading allowed on class B slatehighways^Action on the matter came

after a thorough study of the pro-

blem and fhany meetings With theBoard of Supervisors, the roadcommittee of the board andgroups of truckers.

At the same timfc the board ex-plained the blacktop road build-ing program in the county and theneed for load restrictions.Since the blacktop building

program started 20 years ago inOttawa county, 250 miles of onetype blacktop road or anotherhave been built.

Methods used included: Pene-tration macadam, prime and seal,road mix or plant mix on a six-inch gravel base on a natural soilbase.

The same types of surfaces havebeen placed on a six-inch com-pacted gravel base on a sub-baseof granular material one footthick.

The board points out that thereis a great public demand for thesetypes of roads. They elminatedust and give a smoother all-weather riding surface.Both Lars and asphalts have

been used, and the widths havevaried from 6 to 24 feet.The first such roads had the

same width base as surface. How-ever, the most recent method is asfollows: Where the sub-base con-sists of granular material, a baseof gravel is placed that is sixindie's thick and 24 feet wide.Usually the gravel base is main-

tained under traffic for one yearand then a prime coat 20 feetwide is placed on top. The primecoat is covered with one or moreseal coats. Where the natural soilisn’t granular material, a lift ofdean sand 12 inches thick is laiddown to form a sub-base. Thishelps keep the base dry andcauses only a minimum of frostaction. It raises the road enoughthat much of the snow blows offin the winter. Average cost of amile of such road is $18,000. This

includes surfadng, which amountsto less than $1,000 a mile.

Since World War H, traffic hasincreased. Increased passenger car

traffic wouldn’t do too muchdamage to the road. However, theincrease in trucks and specialequipment in numbers, speed andweights has presented a newmaintenance, economic and put>-lic safety problem.

The state legislature realizedthe problem and authorized localroad authorities to put load re-strictions on county roads, lowerthan those placed on state roads.None of the blacktop roads in Ot-tawa county would classify as aclass A state roads and few asclass B state roads.Three years ago, restricted load

limits were placed on part of theblacktop roads in Ottawa county.Later all blacktop roads in thecounty were placed on the re-stricted loading list. Roughlythese allowable loads were three-quarters allowable loads on stateclass '-A-roadj.

Many complaints were receivedfrom truckers. Thus, the actionby the road commission last week.

Wise Men Seek JeraaMatthew 2:1-12

By Henry Geerlings

The story of the Wise Men isstimulating. It starts .insistentquestions in one's mind. Who werethey? How did the desire grow intheir souls to see the little child

in Bethlehem? How was themighty urge built in their hearts—the urge that drove them acrossweary and trying miles to Bethle-hem? Who dropped the seeds oftruth into their minds— the seedsthat grew in such a fine harvest?Why were their minds above allother minds so hospitable to thistruth? What became of them?What accounts did they give oftheir visit to the Christ childwhen they got back home?What influence from that time

The pubHihcr shall not be liable on did they have upon their civil-jzatjon which they evidentlywere such important factors?How much did their visit changethem and did it help to build forthem a new and more graciousphilosophy of life? Of coursethese questions may be calleduseless for they never can be an-swered, but the story of the wisemen is so thought provoking thatone can scarcely resist the temp-tation to speculate about theseromantic and mysterious and in-teresting personalities.

This we do know, that theywere wise men, men of learningand wealth and rank. They werebig-souled enough to give earnestand reverent attention to a greatidea when it came to them. Theywere men who thought about re-ligious problems. They had spir-itual hungers in their hearts.They evidently shared the dissatis-faction with other thoughtful menof the world respecting their ownreligions.

Their souls were swept by thegeneral expectancy concerning acoming deliverer. And when therecame to them somehow the stir-ring intimation of the birth of the

King of the Jews they turnedtheir hearts and their feet towardBethlehem. It is a wonderful soulepic. It is a striking and beauti-ful story of how the hungry heartof man goes in search for theabiding satisfactions that Godalone can furnish.This story points to the fact

that these men knew that whenthey left home they were goingto see an extraordinary child, thechild of promise and big possibil-ities. They were sensible of someof the dfffcultes and sacrifices tobe encountered in the making oftheir long journey.But here comes in a determin-

ing factor. Difficulties and sacri-fice* count as nothing to the soul

that is journeying toward a radiant

goal. Even were they guided bythe star In the sky, but also werethey guided by the shining hopein their hearts. By day and bynight they must have dreamed ofHim who had already hung a newstar in the heavens of their spirit-

ual, life. They were lured on bythe hope of seeing him who wasto be an altogether new and dif-ferent factor in the world of re-ligion.

Surely these men did not leavehome to undertake such a jour-ney, as it was in those days, forthe sake of gratifying an idle andcheap curiosity. They were wisemen. Tbey were deep sea think-ers. They thought in terms of bigvalues and soul satisfactions.Their ideas of the Child must insome measure have correspondedwith the importance of the Childand the significance of His birth.This event must have carried

into their minds the weight of

DISCOURAGING THE VOTEROut in Jackson county 1,331

vote* would have been thrown outby the board of canvassers in the

recount on the governorship be-cause of what were called “techni-cal flaws." A* a result, in onecounty alone, 1,331 voters weredisfranchised because of ignor-ance or carelessness of electionboards.

There were many other similar•ases throughout Michigan; thisparticular case attracted attention

only because of the large numberof disfranchisements in a singleblock. After the enormous volumeOf propaganda before election urg-ing everybody to vote, the election

machinery needs fixing.When a citizen’s vote is thrown

out because of his own error orpoor judgment, he has only him-elf to blame. The Detroit vot-er, for instance, who wrote acrossbis ballot, “Hurrah for the Dem-ocrats" deserved to lose his vote.

Marking a ballot correctly is sosimple that surely anyone whocan read should not have theleast trouble. Laws are laws andthey should be obeyed, even if avoter can’t understand the reason•or them.But when a citizen loses his

vote because election boards areIgnorant or careless, it is quiteanother matter. Those boards, af-ter all, are paid for their work.And in their case also the dutiesare so simple and dear that any-one who is not illiterate, of course,

have no business to accept such aposition or to be appointed tothem.

If confidence of the voting pub-ic In flic franchise is to be pre-served Michigan wfll have to dosomething rather drastic. The re-count of two years ago showedthat some election machinery is adisgrace, and the experience thispear was no better.The time would seem to be here

to crack down on those who aretoo Ignorant or too careless to dothe job they are paid for by vot-

ers. We all need to do some workon government affairs. After allthey are only as good m we allmake them.

They knew atclose hand something about roy-alty and rulers' palaces, but hereis a unique person with a uniquepower and a unique missioncome into the world. It seems tome that this is not an unfaith-ful interpretation of the mind ofthese wise men and the stars oftheir souls. With such minds theyjourneyed forth.If we only knew it, our souls

are kindred to their souls. Thereare guiding stars there also. Thereare soul hungers and holy dissatis-

factions with things as they are.We too feel urged to go forth tofind satisfaction for these myster-ious hungers that tug with in-sistent gnawings in our hearts.If We are honest with ourselveswe would have to confess that wetoo would like to see the Christ inlarger view and give Him a biggerplace in our lives.There Is no physical journey

necessary for us. but there Is aspiritual one. We need to jour-ney out of ‘.he old life and awayfrom things that make us Com-mon to find the reftewing Christand the power that makes us un-common. Jesus is always nearby.If He seems to be far away it isonly because supremer interestsand preoccupaptions make Himso.

If we are wise we shall findHim in the great truths, He spoke,in the ideals He hold just overour heads, in the great principlesof life He urges, in the beauty andgrace of life wheresoever theymanifest themselves. He is nothard to find. He is out looking forus. And wo may meet any timeour souls are in the mood for spir-itual beauty.

Building

Plans Infonnaly

Okayed by Cound< In a special meeting with archi-

tects drawing plans for the Muni-

cipal Recreation building which

Holland voters approved in the

November election, City Council

Monday night informally approv-ed preliminary plans for the pro-posed auditorium which will bebuilt on the tannery lot.Alfred Bulthuis of Louis C. King*,

cott and associates, architects andengineers of Kalamazoo, explainedplans as drawn to date by the ar-chitects. Several minor changeshave been made on preliminarysketches which were available atthe time of the election.

New plans call for eliminatingpartitions in the game rooms onthe basement level. Rather thanchanging dimensions of the stage,

newer plans call for extending thestage in front of the proscenium.

The exhibit area on the Eighth' St.side of the main floor also willhave no partitions.New plans call for stadium

chairs of slatted design instead of

molded plywood chairs. The radioand press box will be divided intothree sections, two for radio broad-

casts and one for working press.Slight .variations in bleacher rises

also result in more favorable utili-zaiton of space. Certain changes in

the lobby with regard to ticket offi-

ces are now under consideration.As an alternate plan, architects

also have sketched another base-ment area on the Maple Ave. side30 by 90 feet which might serve as

an archery or rifle range. Firstfloor area above this excavationwould provide additional stagestorage and kitchen facilities.Both the architect and commit-

tee members emphasized that thisis only to be submitted as an al-ternate plan in the bids, and couldbe included only if bids are lowenough to allow such additional fa-cilities. The bond issue, as approv-ed by the voters in the November4 election calls for costs not toexceed 5500,000.

James H. Klomparens, memberof the special committee, presided

in the absence of Chairman A. W.Hertel who is in Florida for theholidays. Donn Lindeman, thirdmember of the committee, alsowas present.

Mayor Harry Han-ington presid-ed at the brief business meetingin which councilmen voted unani-mously to give informal approval.All councilmen were present butJohn Van Eerden.

Trackers Resent

Magazine Piece

WASHINGTON — The AmericanTrucking Associations, Inc., recent-

ly charged that an article in theDecember issue of Reader’s Digestuses "curious comparisons, half-truths and dubious highway costfigures to confuse the public on the

extent of highway taxes paid byAmerica's 9,000,000 trucks.The article, by Richard L. Neu-

berger of Oregon, said the ATAstatement, "attempts to back upits case by asserting that the own-er of a one-ton sedan pays threetimes as much, on a weight-dis-tance basis, to use the highway asa 30-ton truck-trailer combination.

The fact is that the average Argetruck pays 35 times as much inactual road taxes as the averagelight passenger car.”

Trucks, 17 per cent of all vehi-cles, according to the truck asso-

ciation. in 1950 paid 32.6 per centof all state highway user taxes ~equivalent to 56 per cent of all ex-

penditures for new state— adminis-tered highways, or 170 per cent of

the total maintenance bill on stateroads.

Neuberger, the association char-

ges. advocates a ton-mile tax ontrucks, but doesn’t mention thatsuch an idea has been condemnedafter three federal studies and theassociation further charges that It

is an idea hatched by railroad in-terests. trying to penalize a com-petitor.

The association cites Neuber-ger’s article in the April. 1951 is-

sue of Railway Progress as ofabout the same unjust tone andadds that the Reader s Digest ar-tide is a condensation of a longer

Piece in the October issue of Har-per's magazine.

The trucking association is tak-ing this opportunity to commentbecause such experiences havehappened before and the articleswere used widely by press andsome anti-truck interests.

by Dick MUMmaaFootball fans in Ottawa county

will not have to take a chance ona blizzard in order to watch Hol-land high and Grand Haven fightit out in their annual battle start-ing in 1955.

Athletic Director Joe Moran atHolland high has announced thatStarting in 1955, the Holland-Grand Haven game has beenmoved from its . traditional spoton the schedule as the last gameof the season starting two yearshence. *j

The switch from the ninthweek-end was made because ofdanger of adverse weather condi-tions in mid-November. This fall,the weather .was almost Meal, butthe previous two years in a rowthe game was played in anything,but football weather. As a result,fan interest died down, and bothschools admit that the all-countygame is a big Hem in the budget.On the Holland schedule, the.

Grand Haven game on the fourthweek-end will fill the spot at pre-sent occupied by Grand RapidsCatholic.

Incidentally, next year’s Hol-land slate includes Creston Unionand Catholic of Grand Rapids,Grand Haven, Benton Harbor,Muskegon Heights, Battle Creek,St. Joseph and Dowagiac. Miss-ing from 1952 are Cadillac andPetoskey.

Three Ottawa teams will be in-cluded in the class B district bas-ketball tournament at the Armoryin March.Besides host team Holland

Twelve points are 'awarded for achampionship in each of the sevenleague sports, 10 for second, eightfor third and so on down the line.' We never have been' able to fi-gure out how a team could sharethe football title, win the basket-ball and track championships andstill not win the all-sports trophy.But although winning titles in allthree major sports last season,Hope still finished second.

The South Haven city basket-ball league has a rule requiring all

The Christmas Story

From the New BibleThis fall, after 14 years of

patient work, the RevisedStandard Version of the Holy

Bible was published. Easier to

read and understand than theKing James translation, It isbacked by the National Coun-cil of Churches, and is ex-pected to be used by morethan 100 of the Christian de-

nominations. We reprint fromit the birth of Christ, as re-

ported in the gospel St. Luke.

Editors note.IN THOSE DAYS a dqcree

Went out from Caesar Augustusthat all the world should be en-rolled. This was the first enroll-ment, when Quirinius was govern-or of Syria. And all went to beenrolled, each to his own city. AndJoseph also went up from Galilee,from the city of Nazareth, to Ju-dea, to the city of David, to beenrolled with Mary, his betrothed,who was with child. And whilethey were there, the time camefor her to be delivered. And she.gave birth to her first-born sonand wrapped him in swaddlingcloths, and laid him in a manger,because there was no place forhim in the Inn.AND IN THAT region there

were' shepherds .out in the field,keeping watch over their flockby night. And an angel of theI/>rd appeared to them, and the

glory of the Lord shone aroundthem, and they were filled withfear. And the angel said to them,“Be not afraid; for behold, Ibring you good news of ft greatjoy which will come to all thepeople; for to you is born thisday in the city of David a Savior,who is Christ the Lord. And thiswill be a sign for you: you willfind a babe wrapped in swaddlingcloths and lying in a manger.1And suddenly there was with theangel a multitude of the heavenlyhost, praising God and saying,• “GLORY TO GOD in the highest, and on earth peace amongmen with whom he is pleased!When the angels went away

from them Into heaven, the shep-herd said to one another "Let usgo to Bethlehem and s6e this thingthat has happened, which theLord has made known to us.’’And they went with haste, andfound Mary and Joseph, and thebabe lying in a manger. And whenthey saw It Ihey made known thesaying which had been told themconcerning this child; and all whoheard it wondered at what theShepherds told them. But Marykept all these things, ponderingthem in her heart. And the shep-herds returned, glorifying andpraising God foi; , all they hadheard and seen, as it had beentold them.— St. Luke, Chapter H,1-21.

VOLLEYS

AMBUSHPost office workers are getting

quite a chuckle out of a mix-upthat occurred in the Detroit rail-road yards early last Wednesdaymorning. And maybe the mix-upcan explain why some of yourChristmas mail was delayed a day.It seems postal authorities decid-

ed to make up a boxcar-load ofChristmas mail for Grandville,Jenison, Hudson ville, Zeeland andHolland. They were to make thecar up in Detroit for rail shipmentto Grand Rapids and via Star truckroute to the various towns betweenHolland and Grand Rapids.They loaded a car all right, seal-

ed it up and the switch enginecame in and was all set to pull itaway and hook it up to the GrandRapids train. *However, the postal workers had

loaded the wrong car. They discov-ered that the car they did loaddidn't even have wheels on it Itwas up on jacks.Well, that carload of mail didn't

get to Grand Rapids at 11:20 asscheduled, that’s for sure.

It’s the busy season at the Hol-land post office— and every postoffice— all right but for the mostpart things have been going verysmoothly.

About the only "fault” clerkshave noticed the past few dayswas the mistake of writing "Hol-land, Mich." instead of the othercity where- the greeting should be

directed.

"It’s reOex,” Supt. of Mails Sipp

Houtman explained. "People willpainstakingly write a five-figurenumber on an address and writethe unfamiliar street name pro-perly, and then lapse into the oldhabit of writing or typing "Hol-land, Mich.”You late comers— better double

check your addresses when youapply the stamp.

IlMUiid’f Mercury Hits

| Low of 18 Degrees Friday

TT* mercury sank to l8 degrees| early Friday, and by 11 a.m. hadrisen to 26. All highways in Michi-gan were clear, although somesate forecasts called for snow atnight and Saturday, mixed withrain in the extreme southwest.

The cancelling machines arebeating a busy staccato (almostlike the peep-peep symphony dur-ing chick season). Houtman esti-mates today’s mall will exceed the100,00G-mark like Friday’s. Thurs-

day’s total was 82,000; Wednesday,76,000; Tuesday, 62,000, and Mon-day, 47,000.

Monday is expected to be anoth-er busy day at the post office, with

lots of people collecting loose ends

over the week-end. After Tuesday,, were invited. Each was givenwork is expected to slack off. Theday on which Christmas falls isalways important to the scheduleTf any post office. A couple ofyears ago when Christmas fell onTuesday, Monday was the deadestday of the whole year. This year,it will probably be one of theheaviest

This suggestion came from oneof our readers in a chance remarkon the street.

It has to do with those new alum-inum caps on milk bottles. Removethem carefully, flatten them outand use the reverse side as reflec-tors on the lights of the Christmastree.

They’re really quite pretty, shesaid.

Remember how it was a weekago today? We had a wild snow-storm with lots of wet sticky snowand nearly every car spun itswheels at the curb. By yesterday,everything was fine again. Thestreets were all clear and the 10-12inches of snow had settled downto three inches. Today everythingis wet and sloppy.For a few days last week-end,

the street department was givena heavy workout. All equipmentwas kept busy for a couple of days,and the street plows drew theirusual jibes from shovelers who hadjust emptied their driveways.Lest things seem tough, let us

remind you that last year we had21.6 inches of snow in Novemberand 40.7 inches in December. Lastmonth’s snowfall was 3.6 inches.We don’t know what the Decembertotal is, but last week-end’s stormwas about the only rough one.

Holland hospital has just receiv-

ed a $1,600 check from a local in-dustrial firm for additional equip-

ment for the portable x-ray ma-chine which is often used duringsurgery. The new equipment hasPolaroid film which is developedwithin seconds during the process

of the operation. It will shortenoperations anywhere from 15 to 45minutea— a valuable considerationparticularly for older persons. X-rays of this type are used particu-

larly for bone surgery.

There was a scratching noise inthe fireplace of the Joe Aardemahome a few nights ago. Six-year-old Bob looked up the chimney andsaid, "Look at the baby beaver.His older brother, Tom, 14, reach-ed up with gloved hand and pulledout a flying squirrel. Ten-year-oldJack was present, and threechecked the encyclopedia to makesure what it was.Hie boys naturally wanted to

keep it, but their mother said thatwouldn't be such a good idea be-cause none of them really knewhow to edre for a wild pet So theyput it in a tree outside, and it dis-appeared shortly afterwards. IIt was the first flying squirrel

the Aardemas had seen, andthey’ve lived in the Waukazoo area10 years.
