Zeeland Seeks

New Water Plan

Council Adopts

New Resolution

On Annexation

ZEELAND (Special) MayorD. C. Bloemendaal and HowardMiller of the Planning Commissionexpressed pleasure Wednesday atthe overwhelming support giventhe Grand Rapids-Ottawa WaterAuthority by the Zeeland residents.

Miller said a meeting of the sev-

en units which passed the measurewill be held in two weeks to de-cide what action should now betaken. He said he felt somethingwould probably be done but at agreater cost than was planned."The vote indicates that Zeeland

people are aware of the waterproblem and want somethingdone," Miller said. By contrast, itis believed that the large percent-

age of Georgetown Township res-idents are farmers and see littlebenefit for themselves from a pipe-

line.

Bloemendaal said, "Zeeland res-idents are disappointed over theoutcome, but it’s encouraging the

way they got out to support theproposal."

City' Council Wednesday nightadopted a resolution which will be-

come a joint resolution with theBoard of Education, clarifying thestand of the two bodies on theproposed annexation program, and

set Dec. 1 as the target date for

a public expression on the recom-

mended community enlargementprogram.The resolution provides for two

24-member promotion committees.The president of the Board of Ed-ucation already^- has appointed 12persons from Holland city who willserve with the 12 presidents of the

school districts affected. On theother committee, the mayor of Hol-land will appoint 12 persons fromHolland city to serve with 12members from Townships affect-ed. The township boards of Hol-land, Park, Fillmore ahd Lake-town townships each will be re-quested to appoint three personsto serve on the committee. Bothare to make their reports by July15.

Council’s resolution also pro-vides for 5500 to be set aside fromthe 1957-58 contingency fund incase professional consultants areneeded for assistance.Council’s action followed a com-

munication from the Board of Edu-

cation which endorsed joint school

and city annexation on a co-term-inus basis. The board informedCouncil that it has reviewed itspolicy statement on school annex-ation as announced Dec. 26, 1956,when it said tuition studentswould not be accepted at HollandHigh School after Sept. 1, 1958 ifsending districts had not complet-ed plans to annex to the city school

district by March 1, 1958.Upon receipts of the reports of

the two new committees, the boardwill consider formulation of a newstatement cm non-resident students.

It pointed to possibilities of a newlook on school facilities with em-phasis towards providing at leasttwo junior high schools in the area

outside the city.

Tkeft ReportedZEELAND (Special) - Zeeland

police received a report Mondayevening that between $15 and $20was stolen from the Boy Scoutheadquarters in the City Park.Roger Baar, Scout leader, report-ed ijiat the money was stolen froma cash box sometime between May30 and June 3. A cabinet contain-ing the box was smashed. Entrance

was gained through the men'sroom, police said.

Burglars early Sunday morning

carted off a 750-pound Safe con-taining $4,200 to $4,300 from Vans

supermarket on Michigan Ave.and opened it on a sideroadin Allegan County.

The safe and a station wagon,stolen S lew blocks away~neaF27thSt. and River Ave., were foundlate Sunday afternoon on 49th St.near M4th Ave. four miles south ofHolland.

The safe, with the inside of thedoor taken off, was on its side ina drainage ditch. The station wa-gon was abandoned in a nearbyopen field behind some trees.Holland detective Gil Tors said

the work on the safe appears tobe the work of professionals.

The burglars apparently drove di-

rectly to the spot where the safewas found, unloaded it and blewit up. Part of the door was peeledback.

The job was so neat that onlythe inside of the front door wasremoved.

The safe was cleaned out. Onlya check for $198.08, a roll of 50pennies and a few dimes andnickles along with 5,000 tradingstamps were found scattered in the

ditch.

It appeared that the men hadremained inside the store after itclosed Saturday night. There wereno visible signs of entry. The front

aluminum door had been forcedopen from the inside.Marks on the floor and sidewalk

indicate the men rolled the safefrom near the front check-out-stands through the front door and

into the station wagon backed upto the curb.

Authorities believe the burglary

was well planned pointing out thatthe station wagon from the drive-way of G. W, Haworth, 46 SouthRiver Ave. probably had beenmarked earlier for the job.The breakin took place sometime

after 1 a m. since manager RobertVander Hooning said he was in thestore until after 12:30 Sunday. Thestation wagon was taken aftera.m.

Included in the loot was approx-imately $400 to $500 in silver anda quantity of cash from the How-ard Johnson restaurant.The abandoned car was spotted

by special officer Jerry Van Wier-en, a part-time policeman, who wasout for a Sunday afternoon drivewith his girl.

He returned to the Holland po-lice station where a license checkindicated it was the stolen vehicle.A team of local officers and anAllegan County deputy returned to

the scene where a search turnedup the safe which was barely visi-ble from the road.The burglary was discovered at

10 a.m. Sunday by assistant mana-ger Ernest Mott who had stoppedbriefly at the store.

Other than the safe nothing else

was taken from the store. Noneot the cash registers were openednor where any cigarettes remov-ed. v

Vans has been the scene of atleast five other breakins in thepast six years. Hie last burglary,Dec. 14, 1963 netted thieves near-

ly $1,000 in cigarettes. Two menwere later captured and chargedwith the theft

TTvey were never brought to trial,

escaping from the Ottawa Countyjail and being arrested a monthlater in Philadelphia. They weresentenced to five years in prison

Four money bags and a number

of cancelled checks stolen in Vans

supermarket burglary Sunday

were found Monday night floating

in Hutchins Lake four miles east

of Ganges

South Haven state police said a

private citizen found the- items,plus several deposit slips. Themoney bags, from the First Na-tional Bank, were empty.Holland detectives continued to

check out a number of tips but sofar admitted they have turned upnothing concrete.

They expressed a theory that themen who stole the safe from Vanswere the same persons responsi-ble for nearly a dozen other safe

robberies in Western Michigan.Detectives pointed out similari-

ties in all breakins. In nearlyevery case the businesses enteredwere large supermarkets or gro-cery stores.

AJ1 the establishments were en-tered by prying open the frontaluminum doors. In each case onlythe safe was taken or batteredopen on the premises.Authorities sa'd a closer examin-

ation of the safe taken from Vansindicated that the inside front door

of the safe had been pried off with

chisels rather than by explosives.

Officers said each rivet holdingthe front portion was chiseled offso neatly that in the gatheringdusk when the safe was first ex-amined it appeared to have beenthe result of an explosion.

Both the safe and stolen stationwagon used in the burglary werebeing examined for fingerprintsbut detectives declined to state If

any were found.Other breakins in the local area

that were similar were those atthree establishments ot. SouthShore Dr. March 31 and the bur-glary at the doctor’s offices on 24th

St. near Holland Hospital May 1.Muskegon sheriff’s officers be-

lieve the safe burglary at Plumb'sWhitehall supermarket Oct. 22,1956 was also done- by the samemen. More than $7,700 was taken.Part of the safe from Plumb’s

turned up at Wheaton, HI., March1, deputies said.

The burglaries here and the onein Whitehall all occurred during

a weekend. The doctors’ officeswere broken into the night ofspring election when banks wereclosed.

Thing* aren’t settled yet on t•U. for the Ottawa County branchbuilding in Holland.At a meeting of City Council

Wednesday night. Deputy City At-torney Gordon Cunningham ruledthat the "municipal purposes"clause in the "Little Netherlands"

lease which the city hold* withHolland Tulip Time Fe*tlval, Inc.,can be interpreted to include such

purposes a* a county building.But when he proposed a resolu-

tion which would notify the TulipTime Board of Directors of such

move, together with a 60-dayexpiration notice, Council hedged.

And on motion of John Van EeNden, supported by Robert Kouw,Council tabled the resolution.

Because City Attorney James E.Townsend had been close to thacounty building site issue from thabeginning, he turned the assign-ment on legal interpretation to hisdeputy. Townsend, who also servesa* one of the city’s five represerv

tatives on the Board of SupervWson, had engaged in considerablelegal work as the site moved from

location west of the city hallparking lot on West 12th St. to Lit-

tle Netherlands, and then back tothe city hall site last week.

Cunningham said the phrase' municipal purposes" used in tha

"Little Netherlands" lease general-

ly has a much broader interpre-tation than the terms "municipal-

ity" or "munieipal corporation."He felt the real definition lies topublic or governmental purposesas distinguished from private pur-

poses.

He also felt that 60 days wouldbe a reasonable length of time to

serve notice on Tulip Time offi-cials. When questioned how muchtime after the 60 days elapsedwould be allowed for dlsmantlihgthe popular tourist attraction, hesaid unfortunately that issue hadnot been referred to him at thetime he was asked for a ruling on"municipal purposes."The lease with Tulip Time was

dated April 6, 1949, and called for

a 10-year lease at $1 a year whichcould be terminated at any timein case the city needed the proper-

ty tor "municipal purposes" andin that case the city would allow"reasonable time."

There was little or no discussionas Council voted unanimously totable the resolution.

Earlier in the evening, CityClerk Clarence Grevengoed reada communication from the RetailMerchants division of the Cham-ber of Commerce stating that themembership is not in favor ofmovin*, Little Netherlands, and re-

questing that another location befound for the proposed countybuilding. It referred to LittleNetherlands as one of Holland’*few outstanding tourist attractions.

On motion of Van Eerden, sec-onded by William Heeringa, thecommunication was received andplaced on file. Mayor Robert Vis-scher commented that minutes ofthe last Council meeting stateddefinitely that efforts should bemade to retain Little Netherlandson its present site.The Board of Supervisors at a

special meeting May 27 was setto sign final papers for erectingthe county building on the LittleNetherlands site, and then granted

a delay of 30 days in case HoLlard’s City Council could complete

plans for allowing the buildingnext to City Hall facing River Ave.

Council had a special meetingMay 28 but could not resolve theIssue and adjourned until May 31.At the second meeting it voteddown the city hall site 7 to 2.There was strong sentiment, how1-jver, that Council did not like to

see Little Netherlands dismantled.

Effective Saturday. June 1. rates

John F. Donnelly, chairman of the

Hospital Board, announced Friday.

Hospital Director Fred S. Burd

wards will be 513.50 a day; semi-private rooms. 516; private rooms,

519.50 aixk 520.50; baby care, 56and 58. "Burd pointed out that these rates

are still below Grand Rapids hos-pital rates, amounting tc 51 and 52

on ward rates, 50 cents to 51.50 onsemi-private rooms and 51 andmore on private rooms.Reason for the boost is to bring

income more in line with expends.Burd said the transition of thehospital program in bringing intouse the new addition has resultedin a slightly larger staff. An ad-justed pay schedule also is a fac-tor.

The last rate boost was Aug. 1,1956.

Exchange Club

Hears Coal ManThe speaker for Monday’s Hol-

land Exchange Club luncheon wasA. E. Honecker of the NationalCoal Association. His talk dealtmainly with the place coal has inthe energy production for this coun-

try. He said that the potential forproducing energy is greater in the

United States than in all the other

countries put together. There is no

energy deficit here and no shor-tage of coal in the forseeable fu-ture.

The energy in coal is. largelyconverted into electrical energyfor use by industry and in homes.Less than 10 per cent of the coalmined is for retailing. One of themain reasons for the present highcost for heating in the freightrate of 55 per ton.

Atomic power which is in thenews so frequently was first usedin the war and is still a monopolyand a secret. Atomic energy mustbe converted into electrical ener-gy. Six reactors are to be in opera-

tion this year. The speaker remind-ed his listeners one big problem isthe disposing of the wastes fromthese reactors. Nuclear reac-tors are not yet economically prac-

tical. The cost per kilowatt hourfor the electricity obtained fromthem is twice that produced fromcoal. It is estimated that from 12to 20 years will be required tobring the cost down to that obtain-ed from coal.Preceding the speech by Honeck-

er, the club was entertained byNeil Petty who sang two solos. Hewas accompanied by Miss AnnBloodgood. Both are students atHope College.The club approved the proposal

from the Inter-Club Council toplace a service club at each en-

. trance to the city. This sign wouldmention all the Service Gubs ofHolland Ray N. Smith called theclub to order but later turned the

meeting over to the newly elected,president, Melvin Van Tatenhove.

Endeavor

PLUS INSTEAD OF MINUSThis is the time of year when

the newspapers are carrying pic-tures of boys and girls who havemade extra good records in theschools they attend. Among otherpapers, the Sentinel has taken aspecial pleasure in printing thepictures and scholastic records ofsuch young people.

Ordinarily it is impossible to pub-

licize the work of the thousandsupon thousands of young peoplewho are ranged on the plus in-stead of on the minus side ofthings. Usually the relatively few

minus cases, often referred to asjuvenile delinquents, get the lion’s

share of the publicity, for the sim-

ple reason that their doings are

out of the ordinary and hence be-

come news. The hundred-to-oneyoung people who are on the plusside are not mentioned for thevery reason that they are a hun-dred to one.. But when they do things thatelevates their mental and spiritual

heads above the crowd, the news-

papers are just as anxious to no-

tice them as they are to noticethe antics of the minus crowd.When a boy or a girl makes arecord of all "A's in school work,

or stands out from the group asa “good citizen" in the academicsense, or wins a coveted scholar-ship, or is chosen as an ‘‘ambas-

sador," or earns a place in aschool "Who’s Who," or achievesany of the other distinctions thatare open to the school population— when any of those things hap-pen, society is specially eager toapplaud, and newspaper notice Isusually the form that applausetakes.

Such publicity is important be-cause it is a form of reassurance.The minus characters, relativelyfew in number as compared withthe whole body of young people,get so much attention during agiven year lhat pessimism is like-ly to result unless that attention

Is balanced by notice given to the

plus part of the teen-age popula-

tion

i Rewards and honors for youngpeople who make good in theirschool work mean more than theprizes and scholarships them-selves, but to the general publicthey mean tsat the heart of youngAmeridi is sound, that juvenile de-

linquency is not the normal stateof the teen-agers of America.

Sunday, June 9Price Tags On BehaviorMatt 16:24-27; H Cor. 5:10

by Darrell Fraakea

To the leader: Listed below arepeople who discovered the PriceTags on Behavior. Tell in yourown words the stories of these peo-ple and then proceed to ask thequestions after each story. Don’twait until having given all thestories to get discussion started.

A Price Tag On DisobedienceGod’s original creation, Adam

and Eve, were placed in a situa-tion which demanded divine guid-ance. They were given a greatdeal of freedom, yet they were al-so required to stay within the Hm-its of that freedom. There was onepart of that garden which was for-bidden territory. But Adam andEve chose to disregard God’s com-mand.Discussion: What was the price

they had to pay for their disobedi-ence? What are some of the for-bidden territories of youth? (limits

which parents* place on youth).What are some of the punishmentsfor disregarding those limits? Whatdoes it cost to be disobedient?

The story of Achan. as described

in Joshua 7, shows us of anotherperson who had a Price Tag onhis behavior. He disobeyed God byhiding some of the stolen spoilsof war beneath the floor of histent. As a result Israel could notconquer Ai. a city in Palestine.Achan disobeyed and this affectedall of Israel. As punishment thepeople of Israel stoned him andhis household to death.

Discussion : Are you destroyingthe forward progress of the church

by your disobedience? If ourchurches are to expand and bringthe gospel to others what sins mustwe get rid of?No Price Tags on RighteousneasDaniel’s behavior in the face of

persecution is a splendid exampleof the results of confidence andtrust in God. Daniel defied KingBelshazzar’s edict, worshiped Godas he wished, and consequentlywas thrown into the electric chairof those days. . .the lion's den.

Discussion— You and I know thatGod protected Daniel from thelions. According to the standards

of the King, the price tag on Dan-iel’s behavior was death, but ac-cording to God there was no costto hb behavior, only reward. Whatdo you think made Daniel so boldto express his faith? How does onegain such bold faith?

"Everything worthwhile costssomething." You don’t go shoppingfor a Lincoln Continental and ex-pect to pay the price of a Fordfor it, and you can't expect togain the blessings of Christianity

without some sacrifice. A drunkpays for his fals e-pleasure, whichis called a hangover. Should nota Christian expect to sacrifice for

that which gives him direction,strength, and vision for daily liv-ing?

But strangely as it may seem,most Christians do not think oftheir type of life as a sacrifice, nor

something with a Price Tag on it.

There is more reward than thereis price.

Discussion: Why do you supposesome people think Christianitycosts a lot? What are some of thecosts which they talk about?

Your Price TagWhat will God do with the Price

Tag on your behavior? Will hecancel it like he has done for somany others who have believed inHim and have allowed Him tochange their lives? Or will Godmake you pay the price of yourindifference and disobed ence? Will

you be rewarded like Daniel, orwill you have to pay with your life

like Achan?

ONE OF BIGGEST — The Consumers Power,bearing a load of 8,701 tons of coal, was inHolland Harbor Tuesday and went out a good

deal lighter. The boat, shown here as it leaves

the city coal docks, is 504 feet long and has

a capacity of 9,000 tons. It arrived here from

Toledo and was drawina almost 21 feet ofwater when it neared the docks. Due to shajlow

water where dredging is not yet complete, it

had to dump part of its load at the Harringtondocks.

We found several Oak trees this

past week in which the leaves

were curling and drying along theedges. The only trouble we havebeen able to find is that they areseverely affected with aphids. ItIs unusual for Oak trees to havethat many aphids on the leaves butit seems the only apparent reasonfor this difficulty.

Various materials can be used to

kill the aphids. One would be theBlack Leaf 40 or a nicotine sul-phate at the recommended rates.If the trees are of such size that

they can not be sprayed, a pre-cautionary practice would be tofertilize the- tree and water it fcell

throughout this growing season.

Areas to be Canvassed

By ADegan Cancer Unit

Residents of the Maplewood andGraafschap areas will be can-vassed today and Thursday byneighbors represent ng the Allegan

County unit of the American Can-cer Society.

The Allegan County unit hasworked in the fields of education,service and research. In the areaof education, projectors, screens,

films and speakers have been•made available to any group inthe county. The book. "The Truth(About Cancer," has been widelydistributed and other pieces of lit-

erature are also available. Teach-

ing materials have been donated'for use in science classes.

Service to the individual cancer

patient includes free dressings,transportation to other cities for

‘treatment and loans to those who'need financial help. Service to the

communities includes X-ray andand diagnostic equipment pur-chased for several hospitals. Halfof the money contributed is spent,in Allegan County and the other;help is used for research and main-

tenance of the national organiza-

tion.

Nursery Picnic

Held Wednesday

cause of its size and huge load,the ship was forced to unload aportion of the coal at the Harring-ton docks. It was drawing too muchwater— almost 21 x feet— when i t

came in. Just west of the citydocks the lake is only about 16feet deep.

Dredging will make it possiblefor ships like the Consumers Pow-er to come straight to the docks,but that job isn’t quite completed

and the early unloading was nec-essary to avoid what would havebeen a real "lake jam” in theshallow area.

The Consumers Power is a vir-tual twin to the U.S. Gypsum, an-other coal boat, which came intoHolland Harbor early in May. TheGypsum is also 5(M feet long and56 feet wide, although its carrying

limit is a little more.Sightseers at the docks and along

the lake got a good look at thegiant craft as it cut its waythrough the water.

Here is a date for Mud- growersto put on their calendar. The an-nual Michigan Muck Field Day hasbeen scheduled for June 30 at theMuck Experimental Farm. Detailsot the program will be sent later.We have also been informed thatthe Easy-Flo Chemical Companywill help sponsor the Onion Clubthis year. In the past this wassponsored by the PqpnsylvaniaRailroad.

TTie pen of contrast birds in the

Missouri Random Egg Laying Con-test entered by the Townline Poul-

try Farm of Zeeland is still leadingthis contest in practically all of

laying contest.

Ottawa County farmers might dowell to follow pasture practicesthat some of the good dairymen ofthe county have been following inthe past, that is. the returns on

strip grazing. In this way the herdis limited to a small areal for aperiod of one day to one week andthen removed to a new area andnot allowed ‘o graze the harvested

area until good growth returns.This system of short grazing per-iods and long rest periods resultsin 58 per cent greater yield peracre.

Connie Slagh of Holland has been

followinng this practice for a num-ber of years and is getting maxi-mum returns from his LadinoBrome pasture. One other practicethat Connie follows is to spreadthe manure after moving the cowsout by using a gadiget made up ofold steel wagon hoops wired to-gether in more or less of a V-shapeand dragged behind the tractor.This spreads the manure moreevenly over the field that has been

grazed so that the cattle will eat

the grass more readily when turn-ed into this particular pastureagain. /

Sunday, June 9Brothers Reconciled

- Genesis 32:24-30 ; 33:1-4by, O. P. Dame

(Based on copyrighted outlinesproduced by the Division of Chris-

tian Education, National Council of

the Churches of Christ in theU. S. and used by permission.)When a person does something

wrong he does not always thinko* the consequences which mayfollow. Rebekah, the mother ofJacob schemed to get a blessingfor her son and got it but shepaid a high price for the wrong—she never sa\v her son again. This

lesson tells us how Esau andJacob, twin brothers, became re-conciled again.

I. Conscience makes cowards ofus all — this truth is taught inour lesson. Jacob had been twentyyears in Oxile and be was eagerto return home again. Duringthose twenty years man> thingshad happened to Jacob. God hadspoken to him in a dream atBethel. In Haran, Jacob met abeautiful woman, named Rachelwhom he wanted to marry butsince he had no dowry to give heengaged himself to work for herfor seven years. At the end of the

seven years he asked for his wifebut instead of getting Rachel thecrafty father, Laban, saw to itthat he married Rachel's sisterLeah, who was older. A weeklater he also married Rachel.Polygamy was sanctioned in thosedays. Both sisters had a handmaidand these two also became thewives of Jacob. Twelve sons andone daughter were bom to Jacob.Only Benjamin was bom in Canaanafter the family’s return.

At the end of the twenty yearsJacob left Haran with all his possessions — his flocks, herds andservants for he had prosperedmuch. There was one fear inJacob's mind— had his brother for-given him? He sent messengers toEsau telling him of his comingbut they returned with the report

that Esau was coming to meet himwith four hundred men. Thisfrightened Jacob more than ever.After twenty years his consciencestill troubled him.

II. Praying and olanning go to-gether. Jacob divided his companyinto two groups hoping that if theone would be attacked the otherone would be able to escape. Aftermaking the plans Jacob prayed.You will find the prayer in Gen-esis 32:912. In this prayer Jacobmentions the covenant God hadmade with him to keep him andhis family. Jacob in a crafty man-ner planned to appease Esau withgifts. He still relied upon his witsmore than upon God. To be sureplanning and praying go togetherbut prayer should always comefirst.

III. When a man has an encount-er with God something happens.The Bible tells us that when Jacobwas alone during the night thatpreceded his meeting with Esaua man wrestled with him. Scrip-ture says that Jacob "hath powerover the angel and prevailed; hewept, and made supplication untohim. "The angel wrestled withJacob; Jacob did not wrestle withthe angel. The struggle was in-tense. "And when he saw that heprevailed not against him, hetouched the hollow of his thigh:and the hollow of Jacob’s thighwas out of joint, as he wrestledwith him.

"This was a spiritual struggle.Jacob wanted a blessing and gotit. "I will not let thee go, except

thou bless me" so said Jacob andGod laid him low with the touchupon his thigh, and crippled himand Jacob limped the rest of hislife. During the years that fol-lowed Jacob by his limp was re-minded of what took place onenight at Peniel. Jacob was givena new name — .srael, meaning"God rules."The two brothers met. Jacob

"bowed himself to the ground sev-en times, until he came near tohis brother" and "Esau ran tomeet him and embraced him, andfell on his neck and kissed him:and they wept." The two brotherswere united again. Best of allJacob had experienced a deepen-ing of his inner life through hisstruggle and had drawn closer tohis God.

THE HOLUND CITY NEWS. THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1957

Two Committees

To Report July 15

On Definite Plans

Council, School Board

Representatives Agree

To Recommendation

Setting their sights on an elec-tion on annexation by Dec. 1,members of the Board of Educa-tion, the City Council and theCitizens’ Annexation AdvisoryCommittee Wednesday night en-dorsed a seven-point resolutionlaying the groundwork for the vote.The group, meeting informally,

decided that the report of the Ad-

visory Committee, calling for thepolitical and school annexation ofsome 12 school districts, shouldbe jointly accepted by the Coun-cil and the Board as soon aspossible.

Two study committees and apublic Information committee wereapproved.

One. the Schools Committee, isexpected to make definite recom-mendations on the size, type andsite of schools to be built withcost estimates of the entire pro-gram. The committee likely willoccupy itself in the realm of junior

high schools as the quickest meansof relieving the crowd pressure onHolland High School.The other, the City-Township

Committee, will work with taxstructures, and might overlap in-to representation problems, al-though nothing in this line canbe resolved until annexation takes

place.

The Schools Committee will be(omposed of the presidents of the12 school districts involved and12 citizens from Holland.The City-Township Committee

will consist of three representa-tives from each of the four town-

ships involved in the annexation

and approximately the same num-

ber from the city. The township

representatives must live in the

area under consideration for an-nexation. The town boards willpick these members and MayorRobert Visscher is to select thecity representatives.

Both committees will be direc-ted and coordinated by the six-man

steering committee formed out ofthe Advisory Committee. Both areto report by July 15.A public information committee

to disseminate facts on annexthtion to the public will be appointed

by Marvin C. Lindeman and Earn-est C. Brooks, co-chairmen of the

Advisory Comrrpttee.

This committee will go to workafter the beginning of petition cir-

culation.

The resolution accepting and en-dorsing the 12-district annexation

recommendation will be drawnup by Vernon Ten Cate, attorneyfor the school board, and JamesTownsend, city attorney.- Viss-cher said Council action couldcome up at the next regular meet-ing and Wendell Miles, presidentof the school board, said that bodycould be presented with the mat-ter jt its next meeting.As the Schools and City-Town-

ship Committees delve into theirstudies, it is expected they willneefl^ professional counsel. Town-send indicated professional ad-vice will "definitely’’ be neededon the question of the indebted-ness of the outside districts. Suchadvice will be paid for jointly bythe Council and the Board, it wasdecided.On the question of representa-

tion in the event annexation takes

place, it was agreed that a re-aligning of wards and revampingof the Council involves alteration

of the city charter. Such altera-tion would be made after annexa-tion, with the entire 42 squaremiles of city having a voice.

THE HOLUND CITY NEWS, THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1957

Little Netherlands

Site Now ProbableBy 1 vote of 7 to 2, City Coun-

cil rejected the site next to City

Hall for a proposed county branch

building in Holland at an adjourned

meeting Friday afternoon whichlasted an hour and 17 minutes.

When the final vote was taken,the pnly Councilmen favoring theCity Hall site were Robert J.Kouw and Nelson Bosman. Kouwhad moved for the resolution andBosman seconded it at a specialmeeting Tuesday.Friday’s action means that the

Board of Supervisors likely willproceed with plans to erect thebranch building on the LittleNetherlands site at 13th St. and

Central Ave. The county board had

agreed to a 30-day delay Mondayto allow HoUand city to arrangefor the City Hall site, if possible.

Council is aware, however, that

the Little Netherlands site poses

practical difficulties. At present,the board of directors of Holland

Tulip Time Festival. Inc., has a10-year lease with the city for the

site which runs until 1959. How-ever. the agreement allows forbreaking the lease in case thecity needs the site for "municipal"

uses, and in such a case "reason- able time" must be allowed in dis-mantling and moving Little Nether-

lands.

City Attorney James E. Town-send declined an off-hand defini-tion of "municipal uses" and saidresearch would be necessary before

deciding if "county uses" are simi-

lar to ''municipal uses" on thelegal front.It was evident too that Council

was not happy about booting outLittle Netherlands. Besides work-

ing out a new location for the popu-lar miniature village, Council also

contends with the problem of the

clinic building which must be torndown for the branch building. Theclinic building houses the county

health department and the CampFire Girls office, as well as theheating system for NetherlandsMuseum.Councilman John Van Eerden

questioned Kouw’s 525.000 estimatefor relocating Little Netherlands,

feelii* the figure was grossly exag-

gerated Realtor Kouw defendedhis previous figure, mentioning a

52 per square foot replacement.The Little Netherlands site has13,200 square feet, and at 52 afoot, the cost would be 526,400."And I don’t think you could re-locate Little Netherlands for that.

. You caa move the equipment, butnot a brick wall, and I don't knowwhere we would go," Kouw said.W . A. Butler of The Sentinel and

former Mayor Harry Harrington,presently a member of the Boardof Supervisors, made strong ap-peals for locating the building next

to City Hall. Laveme Rudolph, for-mer Councilman and presentlyTulip Time president, said if Coun-cil could find a solution other than

Little Netherlands site, the TulipTime board would appreciate itvery much. Rudolph, who had sug-gested using the Little Netherlands

site for the county building lastfall, said he made it only when itappeared Holland city might losethe county building.

A letter from William H. VandeWater, secretary for Holland Tulip

Time Festival, Inc., also askedthat the present location of Little

Netherlands be retained if at allpossible. His letter asked that incase the site is used, that the city

assist in finding another location

for the popular tourist attraction.

Former Mayor Harrington saidpublic service is not a matter ofservice for a few, but the greatest

good for the most people. "This isthe first time that the county will

establish a branch building and tome this would dictate a policy of alogical site adjoining City Hall."

Harrington spoke of the friendly

relations on the board. "Hollandcity has only five votes on a 30-member board, yet the board hasbeen most cooperative in establish-

ing branch services to the people

in this section of the county."

He said some facts had beenmisrepresented, such as propa-ganda on detaining

Rottschafer-Staal Vows Spoken

would have to come from theBoard of Supervisors.Earlier, Steffens had said he

had little to add to his statementof Tuesday, but he too had re-ceived many telephone calls. Themost interesting, he said, hadcome through a third party andhad concerned a statement froma former mayor now a supervisorsaying Steffens could not stop acounty building. "I have nevertried to stop a county building inthe city of Holland,” Steffens said.

"That type of comment leaves mecold. We are still free men in afree society."

Councilman Raymond Holwerdafelt that the site next to City Hall

was too good to give to the county.Nor was he happy about sacrific-ing Little Netherlands. He sawsome merit in Phillips’ alternativeto go back to the original site,but he knew the neighbors wouldbe ifhhappy. Yet he conceded thatfor the over-all interests of thecity, the original site might be agood location.Questioned by Kouw on "giving"

away property, City AttorneyTownsend said the city has "noright to give property away", butmay engage in transfers which al-low for service and facilities. Hesaid cne of the greatest countyconsiderations is the health pro-

gram. He said all previous trans-fers were carefully worded to pro-tect the service angle.

Louis Mulder who has been serv-icing and operating Little Nether-lands said Holland offers little to

the tourists and main question hefaces all through the summer is".What else is there to see?" Hesaid but a small percentage ofHolland people have ever visitedLittle Netherlands or the Nether-

lands Museum.Gross receipts for Little Nether-

lands last year exceeded 54.000which indicates at least twice thatmany visitors at the popular at-traction.

Sentinel Publisher Butler asked

what to do about moving LittleNetherlands after the vote wastaken, and Holwerda voiced hisdisgust that Tulip Time had notsaid anything about it until now.

"That’s why I resigned from theTulip Time board. If that's all theycared . . . it’s small potatoes nowfor Tulip Time to shake itselfout of its lethargy and do some-thing!"Then he calmed down and direct-

ly appealed to Butler to do some-thing through The Sentinel to re-solve the whole situation. "I knowwe all look silly now. I know themajority of Council regrets that

Little Netherlands must be moved.But surely Holland isn’t so ‘site-less’ that we can't find some placefor it.”Councilman Van Eerden suggest-

ed moving Little Netherlands toFairbanks Park, but Holwerda feltit might as well then be moved toZeeland. \Mayor Visscher expressed his

own views concisely. He maintain-ed a neutral position in all argu-ments. saying he was interestedonly in having a county branchbuilding in Holland and having it

in a central location. All he wantedwas decisive action so that thecounty could go ahead because he

sensed strong sentiment that thecounty was losing patience withdevelopments in Holland. This wasborne out at meetings of two coun-

ty committees early Friday after-noon in Holland.Two letters bearing six signa-

tures protesting the City Hall site

were presented. Mrs. W. Van Saun,a resident in the area, asked thather name be added as a seventh.All Councilmen were present.

night under the lights by mauling

Holland Christian's Maroons. 11-0.

Unity has dropped just one game

The Hollanders committed four

fielding misplays and several oth-' prayer-

er mental errors which figured in

the Unity victory. Unity notched

a single run in the first inning

on two hits. Then they pushed fiveothers across in the fourth withanother two hits. Holland's inept-ness in the field accounted formost of the damage.Hudsonville continued on the

rampage scoring three more in thefifth and two in the sixth. All ofthe scoring was done with the aidof eight hits and four walks offstarter Allen Walters and MerleDykema.Meanwhile the Hollanders

couldnt do onything with theslants of Gem men who gave upjust two hits while fanning 15 Ma-roons.

The American people took priderecently in heaping new honors onRobert Frost, the man who comes baVe quit reading poetry. Who canas near to being a national poetas anyone the twentieth centuryhas been able to produce. WhenFrost's 83rd birthday arrived hewas given almost as many acco-lades as a third-rate politician.And that's saying a great deal

for a generation in a country that,

generally speaking, thinks poetry

is good only to the extent to whichit sells cigarettes or gasoline orrubber tires.Of course. America also honors

rhymsters who ring the changesday after day on the glorious heri-

tage of "mother, home and heav-en." and who glorify the platitudi-nous and the obvious by makingend syllables rhyme. But such peo-

ple are no more poets than arethe authors of rhyming ads.Robert Frost is the real thing

He has been the real thing forhalf a century, and even at theage of 83 he is saying things toAmerica and to the world that de-serve the attention not of the few

Councilman Earnest Phillips pro-

posed an alternate for the knottyproblem. He read a lengthy com-munication suggesting that thecounty return to its original plan

of using the two parcels fartherwest on 12th .St., one purchasedby the city for 58.000 and the other

by the county for 513,700. Although

the board of appeals had denieda variance more than six monthsago, Phillips felt the case should

be reopened.Phillips suggested that the floor

50 years has never grouped him-self with either of those extremes.

Vv sensible person, whether a col-lege graduate or not. can read and

understand him. Some of his po-ems have become household pos-sessions of the millions who lovepoetry for its own sake, much inthe way in which a century agosimilar millions loved the poemsof a Wordsworth. And in their ownway Robert Frost’s best poems areas great as are Wordsworth's best.

Take one or two examples. Whatliterate American who is at allsensitive to poetry fails to love"Death of the Hired Man”? In it

Robert F>ost painted a humanscene that has the true greatnessof simplicity. The dialogue in thepoem comes as near to being theactual speech of actual averageAmericans as would seem to bepossible.

Washing Food DinbesIt' is a good policy to avoid using

disinfectants in cleaning a dog’seating dishes. Most disinfectantsare not only poisonous If swal-lowed, but many have strongodors. A dog’s sense of smell ishighly developed and utensils used

for his food and wate should befree from odors. Wash your dog’sdishes after every meal with hotwater and soap and then rinsethem off with boiling water. Manydiseases from which dogs suffercan be traced to germs picked upfrom dirty food dishes.

Youngsters interested in com-

Camp Fire units participated in the

four-section parade which movedpromptly and steadily down thetree-lined route on 12th St., Colum-bia Ave. and 16th St. to PilgrimHome Cemetery.Relatively few persons, probably

about 200, gathered at MonumentSquare in the cemetery for theMemorial Day ceremonies whichfeatured an address by formerState Sen. Don Vander Werp ofFremont.

Vander Werp trqced the historyof Memorial Day to GeneralLogan’s suggestion in 1868 to de-

corate the graves of Civil Warveterans. "Actually, Memorial is aday which should have ceased toexist long ago. The Civil War wasjust another war and all its vet-erans have passed on. But it hasbecome a great heritage, and it isgood to have a non-religious holi-day animated by sentiment. Mem-orial Day is strictly American—there is nothing like it throughout

the w'orld.”Vander Werp advocated a new

appreciation of America, and saida few years ago in the state senate

he advocated a textbook on thesubject. "If we are to share in theblessings of a great land, then wemust share in the responsibilities,and it is well to view the condition

of the world in the light of humanrelations.

“Some say all frontiers are gone.There no longer is the westernfrontier, but we have many otherfrontiers. There are frontiers ingovernment, in industrial life andthe advance in science. The latterhas far outstripped social advances

or the social sciences.

“But we also must be aware ofsome things which tend to breakdown our democracy and must beaware of some things which tendto break down our democracy andmust be increasingly aware of ourblessings if we are to fight Com-munism and totalitarianism.”

Vander Werp then listed a fewthings which are social problems—the \V, million alcoholics, juvenile

delinquency, and such social de-velopments as the small vote cast

on election day.George Lumsden presided at die

Memorial Day program and readthe list of names of veterans whohad died the past year. These in-cluded Richard Richardson,Spanish American war; AaronTharp, Abraham Leenhouts, Ed-ward Chapman, Henry Brinkman.Albert Bierma, Ernest Bedell and
