Congressman Gerald Ford of Grand Rapids issued this statement to the Ledger:

" The death · Mr. Runci-

Suicide in Twin Ada Tragedy man came as . blow to me, as I am sure it t d to the en-

, ' tire communitv. He was a close personal rriend of mine. I even presume~ to. call him 'Runci.' He wa• a fine person, a truly good h• nan being_ The people of Lowt>ll are poorer f•)r having lost him and so am I."

" Mr. Runciman lived a full and a good life. He knew what it meant to give of himself, and this must have brought him happiness. for a person is happy only in giving. His was a generous spirit or he would not have spent nearly four decades in service on the Lowell Board of Education or would not have performed so gladly as founder, captain and Interlocutor of the Lowell Showboat I was privileged to attend.

" Whatever he was of leaving this way of life, let us remember that Mr. Runciman gave his life to Lowell during the Ii ving of it."

Walter Gumser, who served as superintendent of schools for many years while Mr. Runciman served as board president. said:

" In the death of our best known and most loved citizen, we acknowledge a gratitude for all th2t hP hac: done • not only for the local commu-nity, but for the entire state ."

Harold Englehart. president of the State Savings Bank of Lowell, declared:

" Runci was a great fellow, a really ffue personal friend of mine. He did so many things for the community. I a m deeply shQCked at the loss of one of the finest men I ever knew."

Norm Borgerson, president of Lowell Rotary Club and a co-founder of Lowell Showboat with Mr. Runciman, stated:

"Carl Runciman lived in Lowell a little more than 50 years. He was a man who truly loved our home town. He gave withgut limit of his time and energy to Lowell and its people. He will be missed by all but the most by the unnumbered scores whom he had helped in one way or another. He was a man with a big heart. "

William Doyle. president of Showboat, Inc., said:

" For many years. it was m y privilege to be associated with Mr Runciman in both business and civic relationships. He was an outstanding leader in all his endeavors and certainly deserved the title of Lowell's outstanding citizen.

Most people in our a rea know something of his many activities such as the welfare commission. Showboat leadership, 4-H affairs and countless

Tenant Turns on Owner

Teams of Kent County Sheriff's detectives were working around the clock in an attempt to solve the mystery surrounding a double shooting which occurred near Ada Tuesday afternoon.

It was a cold, gray day when the friendship of two el• derly men culminated in a tragedy which left one man dead· the other severely wounded.

Acording to Kent County Sheriff's Deputy Robert Tanner. he was returning from a ca ll to Lowell when he was ordered to investigate a shooting in the 600 block of Pettis Avenue NE. He arrived at the

-a ddress to find officer Bill Dice standing by the unconscious body of Glen Pettis, age 72, of Perkins Avenue in Grand Rapids.

When Dice arrived on the scene. finding Pettis lying in the cfjtch, the victim had told the offfcer that he had been gflot ty Arthur Eam1E:, age 68, of 421 Pettis Avenue, Ada.

Detective Tanner proceeded to that address and upon entering the house found the body of Hamlet slumped over a chair.

Bertha Hagen. age 88, reportedly of the same address told Tanner that she had bee~ present when Hamlet shot himself.

. Foll?wi~g their preliminary mvest~gat1on officers at present thmk that Pettis, who rented the house to Hamlet was confronted by Hamlet. 'After he was shot, he apparently continued to drive south on Pettis A venue toward Ada until he flagged down a car.

They assume the driver of the car continued to the nearest residence to phone for help. A Grand Rapids ambulance service was also called by an unknown person.

OK Liquor-by-glass,

But Ordinance Strict Sale of liquor by the glass

in Cascade Township may have been a pproved in las t week's election, but chances are that a wa rding of two available lice:ises could be a long , drawn-out affair.

Township res idents endorsed the referendum by a vote of 1 141 to 912, thus g iving the township boa rd a nd the Michigan Liquor Control Commission the right to award the licenses.

A township ordinance, adopted in December , 1962. gives the township board wide discretionary powers in approving the site or sites of pro~ pcctive licensees.

It is expected that several a pphcants may appear next Mond<1y afternoon when the board convenes at 1 p. m. for

its regula r semi-monthly meeting in the Administration Bldg.

Two local groups took vigor -0 11 ' s tands on the matter with Concerned Citizens of Cascade in opposition and the Cascade Economic Development Committee urging an a ffirmative vote.

One section of the ordinance stipulates that licenses may only be granted to bonafide restaurant operations with a minimum seating for 100, offstreet pa rking for not less than 50 a utomobiles and strict traffic control from the pa rking !Gt to public highways.

The 1960 census used as a guide by the MLCC for license cr.nsideration , allows for only two permits in the township. By 1970, it is estimated that as m any as four or fi ve licenses could be granted .

'Mr. Lowe//' I

Widely Known Shocked, dazed and dismayed_ These were the words of long-time friends

and associates of civic and business leader Carleton H. Runciman , Sr., who died early T u e s d a y afternoon of self-inflicted pistol wounds.

Word of Mr. Runciman's death caught the c ity completely by surprise. Within minutes, telephones in the Ledger office were jammed by calls from community leaders seeking to substantiate the story.

Services for Mr. Runciman will be held Friday at 2 p. m. at Roth Funeral Home in Lowell with Reverend Robert Webber of First United Methodist Church officiating. Burial will be in Oakwood ce metery.

Lowell police report that the incident occurred at about 12:15 p. m . in Mr. Runciman's office at the pla nt, located

on South Broadway. · ' They were called to the scene after three e mployees reported hearing the shot that terminated the life of the man

a ffectionately known a s " Mr. Lowell" . The employees . . . Harold Kelly, · Doris Draper and

Jacqueline Raison ... told Chief Avery Block they rushed to the office and found Mr . Runciman mortally wounded.

They ca lled Dr. Donald Gerard at once, then notified police.

Chief Block immediately requested assistance from the Kent County Sheriff' s Department. Detective Robert Tanner

• answered the request as did Kent County Medical Examiner

Dr. Ra mon Lang, who pronounced Mr. Runciman dead on

the scene of self-inflicted chest wounds .

Several friends disclosed that Mr. Runciman was despondent over continued poor health and sale of the C. H. Runciman Co. just hours before by J. P. Burroughs, Inc. of Sagmaw, which purchased the concern in 1963 for a figure estimated in excess of $1 ,000.000.

The latest purchase had been 11egotiated by King Milling Company of Lowell , whose property abuts the Runciman plant. A milling company spokesman said that Burroughs had offered to selI the Runciman s torage facilities and that the transaction bad been "Ompleted late Moncfay.

King Milling had announced plans last month to construct a new s ilo.

Burroughs on Tuesday released nine-month figures indicating that its total operations through September 30 showed a profit of just 3c per share on profits of $48,000 from gross sales of $21,125,000. Over the same period in 1967, the company returned 31c per share sa les of $20,825,000 and profits of $446,000.

At the time of his death , Mr. Runciman was a director of J. P. Burroughs and maintained his offi ce here. He reportedly was not active in actua l administration of the plant here.

Several hours before his dea th , Mr. Runciman had attended a meeting of the Board of Directors of State Savings Bank, of which he served a s cha irm<1n. Fellow directors indicated he was in good spirits throughout the meeting.

Grief-stricken friends, many of whom had known him s ince he esta blished the firm bearing ·his name in 1917, paid solemn tribute to Mr. Runciman.

Speaking on behalf of the city, Mayor Arnold Wittenbach expressed the feeling of its citizens:

. " We are a ll deeply shocked. Lowell will greatly miss Mr. Runciman. He was one of the g reat civic leaders of this community. We extend heartfelt sympathies to his fam ily and . his many friends a nd associa tes."

P lans to observe a period of official mourning were incomplete la te Tuesday night.

Mr. Runciman came to Lowell in 1917 and quickly became prominent in bus iness and civic affa irs.

In 192'0, he was elected to the Lowell Board of Education and began a 38-year period of service with that body. For 36 of those yea rs , he acted as president of the board, and almost four decades of high school graduates received the ir diplomas from Mr. Runciman's hands .

As head of the board during those many years, Mr. Runciman provided the Lowell school system with steady leadership and an outstanding record of educationa l achievement. The citizens of Lowell felt a great loss when he had to announce his retirement, but he said at the time tha t , a lthough he felt that it was time for new leaders to take on the responsibilities of education, his interest in the

C. H. RUNCIMAN

young people of the community would never diminish .

Lowell paid a small tribute to Mr . Runciman 's service on the school board by naming one of the units in the school's ever - expanding educational complex "The Carleton H. Runcima n Elementary Building."

Adding luster to Mr. Runciman 's many years of community service was his long tenure as admira l and interlocutor of the Lowell Showboat. When the Showboat was founded in 1932 to relieve the boredom of the Depression. he was. instrumental in guiding it on its successful maiden voyage.

For the following 22 years Mr. Runciman could be see~ in the pilot house of the Rober t E. Lee as the boa t rounded the bend each night during Showboat week. White uniform a~~ays spotless, manner dignified and at the same time jolly, he never missed a performance during the 114 trips the boat made during those years.

Aside from guiding the show at a fast pace a nd exchanging jokes with the endmen " Rund " · contributed much be: hind-the-scenes effort to Showboat's success

Each year he put in long hours of practice with the endmen, he a ttended Showboat chorus rehearsa ls to whip up enthusiasm and often climaxed the practice sessions by treating everyone to sodas at Chris 's.

He served on ma ny committees connected with the Showboat, including the entertainment committee, which he headed for severa l years after his retirement as interlocutor.

The son of James H and Elizabeth (Hartigan) Runciman, Carlton H. Runciman was born on a farm near Chelsea, Michigan, on August 14, 1889. He graduated from Chelsea High School in 1908 and ente red Ferris Ins titute in Big Rapids. withdrawing in 1909 because of the dea th of his father .

Mr. Runciman then enrolled in Michigan State Normal College (Easte rn Michigan Univers ity) , from which he received a Life Certificate in 1911. Dur~ng his college year~. he pa rticipated in both track and football for two seasons.

From Supt. of Schools James C. Pace came this comment:

" He made great contributions to the education scene in Lowell for 32 years. He contributed mightily with his foresigl.t and willingness to work. He will be sorely missed."

City Manager Bernard C. Olson declared:

From fellow businessman Steve Wittenbach :

" Mr. Runciman was one of the most wonderful men. He did more for this town ... more than we can ever expect anyone else to do.

BY FRAN SMITH

I had a fine column written for last week's ofkrmg ... but it got pushed aside in the process oi gathering and reporting news of the election.

What had been meant for print was to the effect that , like many other voters in the country, I have yet to vote a straight ticket in a general election.

And, I was going to continue, my choice of candidates always has been a well-guarded secret lest Good Friend Wife discover ahead of time who would receive the vote and then, perhaps for spite or perhaps to exercise htr derision of my political beliefs, go out and vote just the opposite way.

And, still further , the column had intended to point out that my job at home is doubly difficult since eldest son Bruce attained majority. What, I asked in the unpublished treatise. would happen if those two found out whom I favored and then formed a coalition that not only would wipe out my vote, but, indeed, add still a plus to the side of the opposition?

So, in keeping with a long-standing custom that dates back to my very first visit to the polls, I kept my big mouth shut.

Nor will I tell you at this moment fer whom I voted. If I said it was Nixon , everyone will think I might be lying to save face . If I said it was HHH, everyone will think I don 't know how to pick a winner. If I said it was George Wallace, most likely everyone will think I was nuts .

So let's let it go at that. And I will remain happy in the knowledge that, whether I voted for the winner or loser, I once again thank the good Lord that it is my right to make a decision of some kind.

1f 1f ... Speaking of elections, Lowell School District voters will be

called upon on November 25 to determine whether the system will continue to operate in the reel or , perhaps, get back onto the black side of the column.

Board officials are seeking seven additional mills for one year for operating purposes.

There has been considerable opposition to extra taxation all up and down the line (witness the resounding defeat of the graduated income tax proposal last week), but in this case we can only repeat what has been said here before: The only people hurt by fa ilure of voters to approve good education is the kids themselves.

'We say it now so that, perhaps, the idea will have time to sink in before the election.

If you think the .Smithy is wrong ... if you think the board of education is wrong ... if you think the kids are \Vl'ong ... then go right ahead and vote "no."

At some future elate, these youngsters . .. and this commu· nity ... will pay dearly for the lack of foresight on the part of its taxpayers 1

1f ... 1f Our intrepid reporter down Cascade way, Shirley Dygert by

name, turned in a gem a week or so ago, starting it out thusly: "Some of the boys were whooping it up in the Malamute

Saloon." She then went on to report of an incident in a local pub in

which a patron fell off a bar stool. necessitating a call for an ambulance and a hasty trip to the hospital for repairs.

What really disturbs us is that the boy in the Malamute Saloon probably would have picked the varmint up off the floor , dunked him in the horse trough to wash off the wounds ... and continued whooping it up!

Times surely have changed.

Thanks, Folks! For the c onf ide nce placed in myse lf and my staff. Re st assured w e will do a ll in ou r power to d ese rve this conf ide nce d urin g ou r t e r-m

S. Paul Curtiss. no\v a resid ~ nt or Portland, Oregon. but H·ho \Vas born and raised in the :\1orse Lake area near Alto. sta rted composing poetry about ten yea rs ago. This literary hobby has become one of the outstanding interests of his retiren1ent years and to d;:ite 121 of his poen1s have been published.

Even though he has had long love .affairs v.•ith the beautiful Oregon eountryside, nostalgia for his boyhood home and memories of his youth in this area have suggested many ideas for his poems.

The Ledger is pleased to present l\vo of l\lr . Curtiss ' poems.

THE OLD TOWN PUMP

The Old Town Pump, On the wooden walk,

Stop for a drink And have a little talk.

Up to the watering through W'hen you drive into IO\\.'n.

Give the horties a breather And help the ladies down.

The mud hole By the Old Town Pump,

Caused many a slip, To someone's jump.

The old hitch rack. By the general store.

Horses cribbing ' til Their teeth were sore.

You remember the smell Of that old general store .

Kerosene , grocer ies And clothing that you . .,..·ore.

Dry goods. candy And a case of meat ;

Ru bile rs. lea th er. .Just anything for your fee t.

Saturday nights All hitch racks were full

V.'ith wagons and buggies. Good horses to pull .

You did your shopping, Then attended grange.

At the end of rhe meeting, A big feed for a change .

Water fights and mud Around the Old Town Pump,

Many a lad, Got quite a thump.

Field day we had, In our little ol' town,

Of baseball and races That was quite renO\\'fl .

The sack race and three · legged race, It \Vas all fun

You cheered for them all \r hoever \Von .

You loved these things. For you y,1ere a boy,

. ~ooking back at these events II Ith the greatest of joy_

Sound Medical Advic~ Off°~red to Hunters While thousands of Michigan

ders live for deer hunting, the Kent County Health Department offers a few tips on living through the hunting season.

Most hunters are aware of the danger of guns. They know that they should never point a gun at anyone and that all guns should be handled as if loaded. But, most hunters do not know the common rules concerning their hearts.

The fi rst rule, according to Dr. W. B. Prothro, Kent County Health Officer, is to have regular physical check-ups, especially if you are over forty or overweight.

Upon arrival at the hunting site, Dr. Prothro advises learning the location of the nearest · doctor or hospital facility. This is not only prudent for the potential heart victim, but important in case of other medi· cal emergencies.

able to help the injured person.

If someone should have a heart attack, the following should be remembered. Make

him as comfortable as possible. Loosen his clothing and give him air. Don't fuss with him. Don't make him too warrn. If he perspires profusely, wipe him with a damp towel. Reassure him-he will be suffering great anxiety and reassurance is important. Get medical attention swiftly, but if it is not immediately available, take him directly to the hospital. Do not use any stimulant or medication.

Some heart attacks subside quickly without medication. This doesn't mean the danger is over. Get the patient to the nearest doctor or hospital immediately. Under no circumstances should he drive the car himself. He needs rest completely.

Most patients recover from heart attacks and live for many years. Dr. Prothro ad· vises, take care of your heart, make it last a lifetime.

T ratters Perform at Civic

When it comes to athletics and pure comedy, the Harlem Globetrotters pop into the picture.

The world-famous Trotters will again bring their show into Grand Rapids with a Nov. 26 appearance against the Washington Generals starting at 8 p. m. on the Civic Auditorium floor.

The Trotters are headed by Meadowlark Lemon, " clown prince of basketball." The 6-2 center has dazzled millions with his ball trickery and clowining antics.

Fred Neal, 6-1, 182-pound guard from Greensboro, N.C., ranks along with Meadowlark with his masterful dribbling.

Possessing great agility and deceptive moves, Neal baiiles the opposition with, his tricky ball-handling, sensational passing and deadly outcourt shooting.

Other standout players on this year's tour ing Trotter squad include Leon Hillard, player-coach for the last eight years; Bobby Joe Mason, Mel Davis and Frank Stephens, 6-10, 235 pound center, former Virginia State University star.

As part of the well-balanced program for the Grand Rapids showing, three professional variety acts will be offered. The extra acts will perform before the game and at halftirpe.

" It will be up to the players to prepare themselves physically and mentally for next season." he states " I believe that if they do, ·we will be far ahead in helping to restore Lowell's football pres· tige."

School officia ls also announced that Buell Brinks who was serving his first season a~ freshman football coach will be called into military service at the end of the fir. t seme ·ter.

Each week from now until Christmas, the Lowell Ledger-Suburban Life will publish a list of local servicemen's current addresses.

'Holiday' Ice Stars Nate Walley, director of

figure staking for Holiday on Ice, could teach the sport of skating to a "hippo."

That's what one of his best known pupils had to say about him. And, Nate probably could, if he put his mind to it.

The skating par excellence by the chorus of GlamourIcers and Ice-Squires. in addition to the improvement of many of the featured skaters is a direct result of Walley's tutoring.

The figure skating director has Jong been known for his talent to teach the art to both tyros and advanced skaters. During the past 35 years he has coached some of the world 's best.

Nate Walley was the first person to win the world's professional skating championship. He was one of the first of the great skaters to add showmanship, thril! skating and sensational jumps and spins to his routines. The Walley jump, a swirling twist on one foot. is still one of the most difficult tricks to do.

For many years he has been head professional and chief instructor for the famous Granite Club of Toronto, Ont.

Associated with one or another of the major ice shows for the past 25 years. he is a genius at imparting his knowledge to others. His abil ity to correct skating faults, his patience in teaching difficult routines, and hi. wide knowledge of all facets of skating make him an invaluable member of the Holiday on Tee skating team.

The Grand Rapids presentation of Holiday on Jee includes eight pe ti ormanc:es. Monday through Saturday, Nov. 18-23. Evening performances a r e scheduled at 8 p. m. and 8:30
